I always wanted to pick up a mic from them for my podcast. I used to watch to see if the right thing came up. I don't want to give them money but it would be fun to use their mic against them. Oh well.
Do people still buy laserdiscs?

If you saw a governing body member being pummeled would you help them?
by Tenacious inbefore you answer; .
think about how they could care less how many families are broken up just to retain their power.
how they could care less if members are driven to suicide because of the deep programming and severe depression or strained family situations.. how they would rather let members die in order to retain their power and refuse to acknowledge their faulty bible reasoning regarding blood.. i could go on and on and on.

I don't try to lower my standards to theirs so yes, I would help. I have to be me and don't want to be them.

Heartbroken that my parents are so blind...
by HiddenPimo inso i sent a letter outlining the scriptures that support shunning versus the 3 times as many that support not shunning.
this is the below response that i received.
i will be announced tomorrow night and wanted them to know since that is the fair and adult thing to do.

Sorry Jared, comes with the territory. You know it's going to happen but it's still tough to see how blind they are once you've woken up. You were likely there once yourself though.
Loyalty has really been harped on lately. It's a great way to control people. That message they sent you was pretty short and non-personal. That's how they often are though. Their love is very conditional.
My wife never heard one word from her family. Not one word from any of them. They immediately cut her off simply for going to see my disfellowshipped brother with me once. Done. Never another word. We disassociated later, but it changed nothing for her on that level.

Are You Still “Technically “ A Jehovah’s Witness?
by minimus inif we haven’t associated with the congregation in years, could it be said we are not jws?
or must you be disfellowshipped or disassociated to officially say you really aren’t a witness?.

Nope, that's what the disassociation was for. Wanted that stank off me.

My wife and I see maybe one movie every five years or so on average. I'm not a movie guy. However within the span of three days recently we saw two movies.
First we watched the new Godzilla movie. We both liked it as a fun monster movie. I saw reviews killing it for a lack of story but it's a freaking Godzilla movie, what did you expect? I hadn't seen one since before I was eight years old and my parents sold us out to a cult. It was a fun throwback for me.
My wife wanted to see Dark Phoenix so we did. It was a fun watch too. If you've followed the franchise all the way through maybe you have a different view but we popped in and enjoyed it. We both liked the Godzilla movie better though.
So there's your movie reviews for what they're worth from someone that never watches movies.

For any that still believe in God and Jesus, what is your reasoning on this matter?
by BourneIdentity inin the old testament, god was always full of anger and jealousy resulting in the murder of millions of people.
we’re told jesus perfectly reflects his fathers qualities.
why in the new testament does jesus show no hint of anger and jealousy and wanting to kill people?

@Tenacious - Do those other writings that you mentioned relate stories of talking snakes, global floods, seas parting, talking donkeys, immaculate conceptions, invisible wars in heaven, people raised from the dead, people healed of blindness, etc.? I haven't read them, but things like that make a book sound like folklore, much like the Greek gods and stories of them. I don't question that men wrote the bible but I do question that a magic sky fairy directed their hands.

bullying
by Hendrixgrip ini should preface my comments by pointing out that i have no aversion to being disfellowshipped.
i fully expect that to happen.
all of my immediate family and a great deal of my extended family have moved on with me and we all enjoy a full and satisfying life.

Yes, narcissists are often bullies. JWs are often narcissistic if not full blown narcissists. They can be aggressive, but often very passive aggressive. They can't see you or your feelings and the second they are brought up often the JW shuts down. These are typically one way relationships. My guess is that with an open mind you may see other ways that your relationship with this person is very one sided.
Boundaries are the key. We teach people how to treat us. Give a line not to cross and consequences for doing so and you'll see how much respect a person has for you.

@Sail Away - He was recognized somewhere in the first hour, I think. I watched some of it live, went to bed, then caught more the next day due to timing. I saw him on there the first when I watched live.
