Hey, can you say more about the Revelation 20 thing? Was that discussed on here? I love learning new stuff like that even though I give little thought to the Bible anymore.

Sorry to hear it, but not surprised. It takes a measure of denial to be a good dub. They can't accept your new life, so they deny it. They will absolutely deny that you even exist if needed to keep up their own illusion. I had a deal with my mom as we were unknowingly on our own way out. We just wouldn't discuss JW stuff anymore. We would go to their house to visit and it was all us trying to come up with things to talk about. They have nothing without their cult. Of course, now we'll likely never speak again. Sounds like you're going down a similar road.

The cleaning bug
by Steel ini have a wife that literally cleans the house 24 7. it's hard on our marriage, our son has no natural affection for her.
if we go to an assembly she literally spends two days waxing and polishing the car.
she hand washes all the clothes before go into the washing machine because no machine could ever do as good a job as her.

That definitely sounds like OCD and she needs professional help. Not a JW thing, more of a prison of her own mind. Please get her the help she needs to escape for her sake and that of the family. I'm so sorry for all of you. That's no way to live.
The JWs have so many janitors in their ranks because it's a way to make decent money and to control your own schedule. It's not an obsessive need for order and cleanliness .

I don't kmow why you guys waste your time with someone like this. He told you in his name that he's a believer. No matter what facts you present or how many times you make him look stupid he's going to believe what he wants to believe because that's what beliefs are. He can't even keep his story straight as to whether JWs are they or we to him. He's so lost in the forest that he can't see the trees, nor does he want to, because he wants to believe the JWs. A classic loser troll dragging down a forum and getting owned in the process, providing nothing of any depth. I wouldn't waste time with him.

being a born in, and wanting to celebrate my first christmas is confusing, nerve wracking, and difficult to comprehend.

This is the first for my wife and I too. I say just do what you want. I didn't leave one cult to join another, so we'll do what we personally like. I don't like CHRISTmas because it smacks of the Bible, so no manger scenes or stars for us. No Santa Claus for us because it's every bit as unreal as CHRISTmas. But we love the lights, the trees with meaningful ornaments, the family, food, and a festive atmosphere. For us it will be a celebration of winter, snow, just appreciating the beauty around us. This year it will just be two of us figuring out what we want to make it and what we're comfortable with . You've done what others want for too long. Do you.

I like how the OP starts with the premise of JWs being "they, their, them", but occasionally slips up with a "we". Obvious troll is obvious. The OP will fit in well with JWs, a group that is all about appearances at the cost of actual truth.

Since they're poor you and I pay for them through taxes or increased rates, I do believe. That's assuming everyone, including volunteers, must have insurance or pay the penalty.

The Academy of Ideas - "Brainwashing"
by schnell inhttps://youtu.be/8ish2un-b-s. the academy of ideas has got to be one of my favorite youtube channels, and due to his subject matter, he doesn't get a whole lot of views.
but do give his playlists a watch.
above, his video on brainwashing is clearly relevant to this forum about jehovah's witnesses.

Update on MIL shunning
by BeautifulMind inhello on this beautiful sunday!
just a quick little update to the post i made a few months ago about my mil shunning us.
quick recap: during a convo after she attended the rc and was going on and on about how powerful it was and how great the videos were, blah, blah, blah...i couldn't take it anymore and told her that's not our lives anymore and i didn't want to hear anymore about it and to please respect that and move on to something else to talk about.

Awesome, good for you for sticking to your principles. Shame on her. What would Jehovah think, lol. Isn't that just like a jdub though, they get to determine what's right and wrong at their discretion for everyone.
