my doctor once explained it this way--
in times gone by--most marriages didnt last very long. The husband would very likely die young--either worked to death, killed in battle or by disease. The widow was then free to find another marriage mate.
or...the wife might die in childbirth--leaving the widower to find another mate. etc.
Ive been married 4 times--and its nothing to do with a taste for wedding cake.
i thought it was just me that had a negative view of people who proclaim themselves to be activists.. but no, it seems i'm not alone!.

Longhairgal--i dont agree with you saying your not an activist. You are a very prolific poster on here--and youre hardly pro watchtower--are you ? How many jw's read your posts when they lurk on here ?
I'm sure your posts--your life experiences --make a lot of readers stop and think. Far more effective than holding up a placard outside an assembly.

well said Lee.

when i think back to when i was an active dub--late teens: pioneer; servant; public talks home and away etc---i tried to hide my religion from people i worked with and others who may have asked me. I was embarrassed and ashamed of it.
Now--i'm only too willing to talk about it if the occasion comes up..such as local public facebook groups. Its surprising how often the subject JW comes up in discussion groups.
No need to bad mouth the cult--just present the true facts as against the usual myths and misinformation.

Unless they are PIMO of course.

i'm an xjw activist.
what was the standard of quick builds.
did they cut corners, ignore building regulations, were they unsafe .
the local quick build in my town ( Ryde, isle of Wight, UK ) has been sold and is now an animal veterinary hospital.
So it finally came in useful.
In pre covid days i asked a couple of doorstep soldiers what happened to the money ( about £500k )--they replied its used to build more halls in Africa. I laughed .
i know who won't be saved according to witnesses and that includes just about everyone alive at armageddon who is not a jehovah’s witness.
.
others who are permanently lost include adam and eve, those who died in the flood, people of sodom and gomorrah and apostates to their one true religion..
yep--summed up perfectly.
And to think i went along with that.....
