when somebody posted this on fb, i was anxious to see how ridiculous it would be, probably worse then the gb prophecies, etc.
after watching the clip, i honestly don't know what to believe.
at the very least it's very entertaining and interesting.
I just noticed there is a 9 a 1 and another 1 on my computer keyboard. Its a separate 1 from a 10 key just for all you doubters out there. I have a "double? espresso "shot" on my desk. Double representing the twin towers, and "shot" meaning shot.
I also just was sent an e mail from my elderly father that claims Obama is pushing sharia law in Montana. I accidentally printed this e mail, instead of my intended irs docs.
therefore.....my desk predicted 9/11 in reverse.

words.....just cant find the words......
Oh man.....the comments....the video.
after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.
thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.
i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.
seek help buddy. Its a big life out there. Go do something with it.
maybe it's shocking, funny, a good story, etc.. i was just watching the one below... i was shocked!

This stuff drives me nuts (first video). Does it really take guts to interupt a large gathering by yelling? With every person I have ever spoken to who is now out, I have yet to hear one single story that starts with...."this guys at the convention yelled something that really made me think".
Instead it feeds the narrative of the fire breathing apostate that they are told to beware of, and that is proof of Satans unique persecution against them. Bravo you moron! You have just entrenched the faith of thousands of JW's even more, while essentially engaging in therapy for your own scars, and coming off exactly like they want you too. If the branch was smart they would get some actors to do this at every convention. It would really be good in continuing the fear narrative.
Drives me nuts.
a really great example of wt pulling doctrine out of their heiney that nowhere exists in the scriptures!
when i started waking up to ttatt, i remember in my own reading the tons of scriptures that speak of god, the holy spirit, etc teaching directly.
tons of scriptures that go against the wt doctrine of only able to learn through them.
the watchtower and jehovah's witnesses are fond of saying there are no automatic sanctions for taking blood.
that they no longer disfellowship someone who takes blood.
that they have a "free choice" in the matter.
Personal responsibility is great. I'm all for it.
Convincing someone to not accept available medical treatment through horrifically implausible scriptural justification, and then enforcing that belief through a communal shunning program......is not the same thing as being responsible for your own decisions.
Smart people do dumb things all the time. Haven't you watched the political debates in the US?
thank you all for your sincere encouragement during these last few weeks.
finally, she is at peace.
i was with her , holding her hand when she died.

The very definition of obfuscation and semantics.
Ask ANY JW out there if someone who willfully accepted a blood transfusion could remain a JW and the answer would be patently obvious to them. In the land of double talk however, some has "disassociated themselves" when they decide to do this particular act, but not the other things considered sins.
I wonder what the explanation for this designation would be scripturally speaking?
none of my jehovah's witness relatives called to tell me or my family.
just found out this morning.
Perry I am sorry for the loss of your mother. I am sure your faith gives you comfort, but it still always stings when the JW family slips into full shun mode.....even in such times.
Probably angering. Try to remember that they are in a cult.
