Welcome to the real world :)
there will be no mass exodus. There will be no sudden reform. The org will plod along as many other religions do. The best we can do is help those we come across as best we can, as it aounds like you did.

I'm not so sure a bigger awakening is going to happen anymore
by bradford inwhen i left in march officially i started reading the forums here.
i had this excitement that more people would be leaving soon because of the crazy broadcasts, the crazy "new light" that the gb was dishing out, and more recently the australian royal commission lighting up geoffrey.
this past saturday i had an elder stop by to chat for the first time since i left.

Does Jehovah control the weather? (Pharaoh's dream - 7 years of famine)
by truthseeker inaccording to the scriptures, jehovah makes his sun rise upon wicked people and good and makes it rain upon righteous people and unrighteous.
- matthew 5:45. in that case, if we look at the account in genesis, god is shown to give pharaoh a dream that he will cause seven years of famine.. genesis 41: pharaohs dreams.
25 then joseph said to pharaoh, the dreams of pharaoh are one and the same.

I enjoyed the video and the presentation overall even though i knew how that movie was going to end from the start. Bethel won't ever say more than what is in print already. This teaching is stupid and will continue to be a thorn for them. Congrats on two more getting out ;) -

The Loyalty Question
by choosing life inhow many here have been asked the loyalty question by an elder.
i am referring to, "do you believe that jehovah is using the faithful and discreet slave class to accomplish his work?
" or something along this line?.

"Newsflash! : intimacy, trust and love do not require an emission of bodily fluids"
This is true. I love and trust my dog but do not share bodily fluids with her. I love trust and have intimacy with my son but do not share bodily fluids with him either.
However, the equation does not prove true in the inverse. A lack of bodily fluids doses not create it either and may damage it -

Again, djs beat me to it. I was about to type similar regarding all the things a woman is not to angry to do, like letting a man pay the bills, work on the car, do yard work, cuddle etc etc etc.
i will also elaborate here, im not talking about a day or two of this, maybe some argument over some petty typical married people nonsense... Im refering to a longer periods of time where intimacy is withheld or neglected. When it stretches into a couple of weeks or more somebody needs to get the hell over it or get the hell out.

@cultbegone - after rereading my post I see where there was room to take my statment as all inclusive regarding women. I didn't intend it to be all inclusive and should have added a qualifier to reflect "some women" or even "a few women".
@jwsaughter- yes i agree i have heard of cases where men also use (withholding)sex as a 'weapon' or tool to manipulate. It is not exclusive to women although i would suggest its more common amongst women, though i will admit i have no data to support that.

It is utter nonsense to suggest men invented the phrase "using sex as a weapon". How could you prove in any respect which gender invented the phrase? Thats feminist tripe. What is most certainly provable is that, for a fact, women withold sex as means of manipulation and negative reinforcement, commonly called "punishment". Men didnt invent that. -

What djs said. X2. No amount of asskissing, chore doing begging or pleading will ever convince her have sex. That is nonsense and crap of the highest order. Im not suggesting that making legitimate efforts to be a good husbamd are unessary but they for sure positively never are foreplay.
