This apparently is a common idea, because the Elders book explicitly denounces using adultery to free yourself and get a new mate, and it said it will delay any reinstatement longer than usual.

Adultery, Divorce, Remarry
by azl0058 inmy brother (who is a witness) has been married for 8 years.
he and his wife (also a witness) got married young, but he never really tried in the marriage, but she also lost his trust early on.
he says that it was his fault though because he pushed her away.. anyways, he met this new girl (not a witness) and told his wife that he wanted to separate.

Reading the Watchtower publications will give you an university education.
by Overrated inthe watchtower said that reading their stuff would get you a college education.
can anyone recall that gem?
my parents sure bought into that crap.

They've been saying that since 1914. In the intro to the Photo Drama, Russell says on camera that 'it has been said that watching the four parts is more beneficial than a year in college'.
That's another line they've been using ever since as well, saying 'it has been said' or that something 'has been defined as', followed by something only they would say, but making it sound as if taken from objective sources.

Jehovah`s witnesses not the only religion GOD is using now ?
by smiddy3 inwhen confronted with angus stewart’s blunt question “do you see yourselves as jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth?” the answer that came from jackson’s lips was astounding.. “that i think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.
the scriptures clearly show that someone can act in harmony with god’s spirit in giving comfort and help in the congregations, but if i could just clarify a little, going back to matthew 24, clearly, jesus said that in the last days ‐ and jehovah’s witnesses believe these are the last days ‐ there would be a slave, a group of persons who would have responsibility to care for the spiritual food.
so inthat respect, we view ourselves as trying to fulfill that role.”.

The bible identifies the leaders of the JWS (GB) as false prophet apostates or more commonly known as corrupt misleading charlatans running their own publishing empire the Watchtower Corporation.
Is that you Finkelstein??

So we've got two votes for JWs and two for leftists.
Except for views on sex, they aren't all that different. I rest my case.

As a whole, who . . .
Is anti-gun, police and war?
Is subject to government but really anti-government?
Is prone to alternative medicine and science?
Is unpatriotic?
Is more comfortable leaving choices to those in charge and having their life regulated?
Will drag a person's reputation through the mud if they disagree with even a little bit of their orthodoxy?
Relies on emotion-driven propaganda over fact-based arguments?
Talks against the system constantly and arrogantly, yet makes full use of all it has to offer, without giving back as much?
Will say negative things about Christian churches whenever given the chance?
Believes that climate change is an imminent threat, that left unchecked would have cataclysmic results in our lifetime?
Believes the pandemic is extremely deadly, and encourage lockdowns and mask wearing?
Wants peace, love and sunshine with no borders, possibly under one world government?
Believes that we are on the brink of an apocalypse?

by Hotpepper ini have to jump through hoops using my email address to try to get on.

We have to read between the lines to help. For instance when you say you 'emailed the help site' obviously there is no such thing, so are you trying to say you reset your password through your email? And if so, do you remember it now?
