You know, another of our friends here on the forum also shred that just as he was down to his last few dollars last week, he received a job that covered all his expenses! Not too long back, he would have attributed this to Jehovah's blessing too!

You won't believe this ... Jehovah's rich blessing has befallen me !!!
by dubstepped inmy dad died a couple years back (not how you thought this would start, i know).
he was an elder, and a very emotionally abusive father, well before the point where he ever shunned me.
he died pretty much penniless, and never would buy life insurance or anything.

I can see the Apostate Convention now:
I will be doing the "experiences" part after the lunch break, and will call Brother Dubstepped to the platform.
"Brother Dubstepped, can you share with us your faith-strengthening account of a time that Jehovah's rich blessing was felt on your life?"
You recount your "experience" and the audience all claps.

Has the Governing Body ever been right?
by Jules Saturn ini asked this question to a relative after mentioning several situations where teachings were changed or readjusted (new light) and they have two reasons.
yes, they are correct because look at how the preaching work has grown through the decades and the advancements in witnessing and the second reason was the doctrine of the trinity and how the society opposes that.
i didn’t really have a response, especially for the trinity doctrine.. does the governing body have the rejection of the trinity belief correct?.

The only thing the GB or their predecessors got correct was:
"Religion is a snare and a racket!"

The Big Sick movie. Interesting clips about family rejection based on religious and cultural differences!
by stuckinarut2 inif anyone has not yet watched the fantastic 2017 movie "the big sick", i would highly recommend it!.
without giving too much away, there are two scenes in it that we as ex jws will relate to.. the first scene shows the main character being chastised and rejected by his parents for not following their religious and cultural expectations and marrying a muslim girl.
the parents effectively "disfellowship" him from their family!

The next clip shows how he handles that! It is brilliant!

Good observations Dubstepped!
I share your views. It seemed to miss the mark on some aspects. I also do not know why some points were put into the film (cousin sex).
But I suppose, all exposure of the cult to the mainstream population is good in some ways....

So glad this got news exposure!
I am sure that all of us here have at one time taken part in preaching to people near cemetaries, or after funerals. Or we have left literature with people who have just lost loved ones. Although I would never have posted on a specific message board for an individual
Looking back now, I can see how intrusive, presumptious and inappropriate it was. I feel ashamed at such activity.
I seem to recall MANY experiences at assemblies and in articles that praised such activity. There was even a video I am sure that showed something like this. It is an approved course of activity of the society. It maddens me that they would try and weazel out of it by saying it was "just individuals". Those individuals did it because the idea came from the Society!
