we were told that we needed to accept whatever we were directed to by the governing body and elders.
eventually we rebelled and left the organization.
do you think former jehovah’s witnesses seem to question authority more than others?
i accept what people tell me--unless i know they are lying. I suppose its because i tell the truth--or not answer at all rather than lie.
unfortunately i have been caught out--rather badly: I met--and married a woman some 12 years ago; it all seemed too good to be true--which is exactly how it turned out. She had told me so many lies--it got to the point i just didnt know what was true and what wasnt. Some silly unimportant things---or other really serious issues.
i divorced her.

i dont think poor old Onan stands much of a chance either.
inspired by a previous post i wrote and thought it deserved a place of its own .. i hope it helps people on their journey out of the wt/jw religion .. their is no going back after discovering the "truth" about the wt/jw religion.. its the path of freedom from enslavement to a man made religious organization that was born in america, a nation that has spawned numerous charlatan religious organizations, especially in the 1700`s to 1900`s .and even beyond..
Once you understand that the GB/FDS are just men and not directed/inspired the whole house of cards comes crashing down.
i found once i faced the fact i simply did not believe in any god--the watchtower society simply didnt have any credibility.
yeah, so boris johnson has plunged the whole of the uk back into a second lockdown.
kids are still going to school (thank goodness!
) but this second lockdown is ruining the economy and killing small businesses.. the first lockdown was forgivable because, at the time, nobody knew what we were dealing with.. but now, we know more and more about covid-19.. it is lethal to elderly people (the average age of deaths with covid in the uk is 82 years - the average age of deaths without covid in the uk is 81 years).. it is also lethal to obese people and people with diabetes.. i'd imagine hiv+ people are another vulnerable group.. but to everyone else, catching covid is fairly similar to catching the flu.
Stan...if you can't see it yourself by now...that there is MUCH MORE GOING ON.....whatever I say will bounce off you like truth to a JW.....you have your paradigm...and I have mine.....
does your paradigm come with any evidence or proof ?
are you seriously suggesting that most nations on the planet have some hidden agenda involving this virus ? And that those countries that have resorted to a lockdown have done so knowing the massive risk to their economy ?
Isnt it more boringly honest to accept its yet another plague-?-like so many before it--that has bought catastrophic repercussions but will eventually either burn itself out or be brought under control by vaccination.

with no intervention--the virus would have caused about half a million deaths in the UK by now.
What is the government supposed to do ?
Has anyone got a better idea ?

here we are--3 months later--almost 110,000 here in the UK have now died within 28 days of a positive covid test. Thats double the number at the start of this thread.
over recent years--the average morbity rate is .9%--so about 600,000 deaths each year.
thats about 1643 deaths each day--from all causes.
covid is currently claiming about 1400 a day.
covid aint going anywhere--except mutating.

theyre looking at the plans--and they know how jehovah works: He provides the idea--they have to come up with the manpower and the money.
good news from god!.

Also had to ditch the puffy pirate shirt for a standard issue polo shirt. He's now telling the China man neru jackets and little caps are from Satan. To be a foollower (sic) everyone has to look the same.
