it struck me that the organisation has taught that before jehovah's people would be "attacked" by the governments, all of "babylon the great" would have to be destroyed first?.
yet, what do we see worldwide?
governments of all sorts have either already, or are in the process of massive investigations and enquiries into the organisation!.

All things ranging from Child Abuse mishandling, to Financial and 'charitable' status are being questioned. Many more issues are resulting in the Society having to invest great deals of time and money to defend itself!
So, did they get the timing of the "prophecy" wrong, or what?
just thought i'd share this ridiculous picture from a recent watchtower.
in recent years, the word bullying has been thrown around a lot, and often misused by instigators and subtle bullies themselves.
in this picture we learn that your loving family who wants to continue sharing a family tradition with you, who hands you a beautifully wrapped present with a smile on their face, is in fact bullying you.
Thanks nbd
They really are ramping up the crazy hey!

It is episode 262 'thoughts and prayers' edition. The whole episode is great, but the Jw stuff starts at approx 34:30 mins.
Dont say I didn't warn you!😉

Oh dear!
What publication is this from?
That is just so paranoid and distorted! This certainly would play into the persecution complex of witnesses!
potential recruits of the cult known as jehovah's witnesses/wtbts will eventually be asked the following two questions as they hand over every aspect and control of their lives to the org;.
on the basis of the sacrifice of jesus christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to jehovah to do his will?.
do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of jehovah’s witnesses in association with god’s spirit-directed organization?.
And, in light of the WT society's "data collection policy" , there should be a third question:
" Do you understand that by undergoing water baptism, you hereby give up ALL claim to your private data, and that this is held in perpetuity by the Society?"
Serioulsy! Go to the JWdotORG site, and in the search field type "data protection policy" and read the train wreck of an excuse of a policy!

be courageous and very strong”—joshua 1:7
Great! Now we can see where those disturbing, manipulative videos fit in to the program...
i was wondering what is the most interesting or the strangest fact you've found out since leaving the jws about:.
the bible.
god .
GREAT thread!
So many things!
But I suppose the realisation that made the greatest impact to me was the understanding that the bible itself - the very FOUNDATION of power and authority claimed by high-control groups like JWs is not the "inspired word of god". And if it was, then I am more moral that that god of the bible!
when @brian j’s “bullet in the head” thread went live (https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4747450574176256/session-8-bullet-head) those written shots echoed in my mind.
a week later while overhearing a bible study, the conductor was asked if god really has given us “free will”.
but if someone ever put a gun to my head and asked me to renounce my faith as a jehovah’s witness, i would die.”.
Great thread! Well reasoned @Wake-me!
Your point about "theocratic warfare" was great!
I also came to that thought years ago when it came to telling the government why I didn't vote in the elections. (In Australia, it is compulsory to vote. If you don't, you have to pay a fine, or write a reason) Also, at Census time, I wrote "no religion" rather than JW.
I chose to just pay the fine, and not write a reason. Many witnesses use it as a chance to "give a fine witness and preach". I thought that it would be more prudent to NOT tell the Govt I was a witness, so that in the GT they could not track me, and I may be able to be of more help to the bros and sis by NOT being rounded up and imprisoned!
