i dont know what to think about that , but this link from an older post was good reading.
there are other equally good articles there.
1. a shitty start we don't have to wait more than 4 verses of genesis 6 to put our feet in a big stinky bullshit :.
consequently, jehovah saw that mans wickedness was great on the earth and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time.
jehovah regretted that he had made men on the earth, and his heart was saddened.

my daughter tells me that experts say children tend to have false memories.
apparently their brain tends to fill things in that may not be totally accurate.. i refuse to believe that my favorite and comforting memory might not be true.
so here is to fond memories real or not.. the earliest memory i have is being put in a crib at a preschool.
when my son stopped going to meetings, a few years later he was approached by two jws handing out memorial tracts in a parking lot, he said it was 'uncomfortable and weird'
and now he knows how everyone else feels about that! he was mad that he ever had to do that to make people feel so odd.
i heard about a new video where the watchtower has a single mother and her child eating millet or rice with almost no material possessions worried about donating to the world wide work.
now most religions are trying to donate to third-world countries, not the watchtower profit enterprise, they are willing to take a families last milk cow so their leaders can spend those funds fighting pedophile lawsuits!.
every place the watchtower builds you read about the angry citizens having to pick up their tax bills because the watchtower only takes!
ok ok break it up boys, lol.
lets not put words in anyone's mouths.
heres the thing, one person will experience something and never see what others experience, and so we assume.
for decades, so many jws never have a single bit of controversy in their lives and cant imagine anyone else having issues that are not of their own making. they have flawed reasoning, obvious imperfection.
for example my mother is convinced that when people that are jws get into situations that result in hardship, shes sure they are not trusting in jehovah and doing what they're supposed to do, whatever that is.
well one day i asked her, gee mom, you mean all these years I wasnt trusting in God, my service was fake, my meeting attendance was fake, and that's why I have an unloving marriage and no friends?
I guess you lack faith too since things aren't the way you want, huh mom? she gets where im going
and usually changes the subject. stupid logic she has. no ones lives are perfect.
Ive lived long enough to see jws in my area never have anything other than some health problems cramp thier style, but then again, Im not a fly on the wall, who knows what demons they hide inside.
its all a facade. who are the real people behind the label?

id say the same sort of crib memory . in my mom and dads first apartment, i remember what the whole thing looked like, the layout. i remember my mom and dad fighting and my dad punching a hole in the wall, i was not yet 2. and i remember at age 4 having a spirit visit my bedside. twice. and floating down the stairs in that apartment.
dreams for a toddler of that nature? hmm
this is a gem... charles sinutko had great skills at parenting.

the pale horse of death had just ridden again.
I Dont believe the term spiritually dead is a real situation. in the bible only those who god chose were spiritually alive, all others were dead, spiritually, after you accepted the truth of jesus then you were spiritually alive.
nor is there as such thing as spiritually weak.
its all made up. you either have faith and believe that Jesus is Gods son, or you dont . any other application to me seems to be for the purpose of gaining free labor.
i didn't know the wtbts had an order.
anyone ever heard of the "order of full time servants" aka "the order" within the jehovah's witnesses?.
(below is a legal document from the wtbts).
we often hear the phrase.
its used to accuse.... they did not follow j's arrangement, you have to live by j's arrangement.
or to brag.... its all due to j's arrangement , we work with his org, and according to the arrangement.

a thinking christian would have gotten up and walked out when presented with such bull.
Id have been appalled and insulted.
since when does God make you sign a contract written my men so they have the privilege of monitoring your progress to pump up their own egos
