@wake me, thanks for sharing your story.
I have to ask, HOW did that Brother get to keep his "privileges" even to the point of being interviewed at an assembly?
Did you keep his name quiet?

The god of love and his most loving son Jesus Christ
by Crazyguy inso their the very essence of love so we are taught so then why at luke 14:26 jesus says in order to be his follower you must hate your mother, father, wife, brothers and sisters.
then you must renounce everything you have.
wow just plain wow, and they call me crazy!

Great thread!
Yes supposedly "God is Love", and the bible is "his word" and the way we get to know him and his personality right?
Well, he seems like a crazy psycho who kills everyone when he doesn't get his own way! Hardly a nice guy.
If humans acted this way, we would lock them up and call them crazy.

Eagerly anticipating the death of billions!
by stuckinarut2 insurely someone who eagerly looks forward to the death of billions of people (including babies and children) is not emotionally healthy?.
yet, that is the key belief "happily" anticipated by witnesses.... food for thought?.

Yes 'All or nothing', I agree! It simply defies logic that most witnesses don't see this for what it is - sick...
A child can see that is wrong, but somehow as adults manipulated by the teachings of the WT Society, we not only thought it perfectly ok, but also "loving of God"!
weird....

Guilty? Oh about everything....
That is the way with religious groups. FOG (Fear Obligation Guilt)
Once we let that go, life becomes so much happier! And yet that doesn't mean we become evil either. We simply stop being emotionally entrapped by stupidity!

JW Cart encounter
by Listener ini've seen very few carts in western australia.
the only one i have seen is near the front entrance of the perth royal hospital and on the several occasions that i have seen it, they are there all day, at least during the week.
i've stopped and had long conversations twice now and both times when i have approached them they've told me to take whatever publications interest me and then we've started talking.this last visit i brought up the royal commission.

Another day, another cart
by Anony Mous ini was standing at a red light and i noticed the little cart standing there.
they're barely noticeable and when i continued there was apparently someone on the other side of the street too.
the only problem, the location is a very busy intersection which has virtually no foot traffic and they're hard to see to begin with, as you can see from my vantage point i couldn't even read the cart and three people next to them on this side and two of them on the other side.. .

It has nothing to do with spreading the message.
It is all about keeping witnesses busy and "counting time".
(On the point of keeping witnesses busy, it is just like the "game" we play with kids to try and keep them happy and quiet on a car trip. "Lets see who can stay quiet the longest, and they will be the winner of a prize!". Some kids fall for that...)
Oh, also it creates a status amongst witnesses as to who "qualifies" to do the cart work.

Jehovah's Witnesses denial of what they are supposed to believe from Watchtower
by jambon1 inone of the most frustrating things.
when you confront jw's about what they believe they will often deny it.
such as "if your child is disfellowshipped then you can't have contact with them ever again".

If they are following the guidance of the ALMIGHTY Jehovah, they should be PROUD of their policies (no matter how odd) and shout them from the rooftops!
If they try and white-wash them, that says something!
