the next time a jw brings up a natural disaster or severe weather event as proof of the last days, and they preface it by reciting a fact they heard on the news like, (just for the sake of example) 'it's the worst earthquake in 70 years' or 'the worst plague in 200' years', (you get the picture), then simply reply: "oh, so that means that ____ years ago there was one that was worse, right?".
i did this twice.
both times got the same response:.
Funny how government attacks on churches is 'turning on false religion', while government attacks on them personally is "persecution".
"now it starts" lol, they said that almost 20 years ago when the Catholic Church was in the news for child molestation, (guess they didn't know it was coming their way too in a year or two).

(since 1880) 17 of those years have been in this century. Its not evidence for the last days of course but its surely grounds for some conclusions to form.
My conclusion would be that before that year temperatures weren't recorded as accurately or regularly, similarly to how autism rates have 'gone up' due to diagnosis alone, even of very subtle spectrums.
Nothing wrong Disagreeing. After all, most of us here are cult victims and now we enjoy the freedom of free speech.
Amen.

Oh yeah I wasn't disagreeing with you, just mentioning a similar thought. đź‘Ť

The real predators are those in high positions including the GB who deep down know TTATT but spin events deceptively for their flock. Most R&F JWs I wouldn't say are trying to prey on others, so much as they're desperately in search of confirmation for their world-view.

what were some funny experiences you had of things that happened during talks at the meetings?.
a few of mine:.
- a brother had dyed his hair before his talk and it was raining heavily when he arrived at the hall and the dye was running down his face during his talk and his skin went more and more grey as the black dye ran down it.
This man Steve was giving a talk about Jesus gaining immortality, but said he got "immorality" in the heavens.
Another guy named Tony compared the dead at Armageddon to split open roasted hot dogs, and another time preached against wild socks and tight pants, saying they were a gay conspiracy.
Then there was a dude named Sam who insisted that women were objectively less intelligent than men, and he could prove it by the size of their brains.
Then there was old Joe who nobody liked but everybody feared. He insisted that some Bible characters were bound to show up on the doorstep any week now, but nobody had the balls to call him out.
Wish I could read the captions. The website downsamples all images, often to the point of illegibility, on mobile screens. (Yes, even when 'show desktop version' is activated.)
or is that old light??.
many young men avoided the draft due to their being “ministers”.
if everyone who is a jw is a minister, women and kids should share ministerial status and even be able to legally officiate and marry someone....as long as they are baptized..
No draft in the US for over 40 years, not sure about elsewhere.

No, just the Elders. They are officially recognized as clergy, and JW lawyers have said so under oath in court.
oh rapture!
today's wt caused my wife's first [jw mind control] epiphany and she didn't hesitate to share upon her discovery.

Oh Happy day! You're doing great, going slow and steady, letting her reach conclusions when she's ready and saying just enough to catalyst her thinking but not too much.
