"Are Jehovah’s Witnesses losing the War on Apostates"
Yes they surely are and every new poster who comes here is a victory for us.
so this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.
the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.
he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.

i will start.. 1) can you cry under water?
(2) once you are in heaven, do you get stuck.
wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
1) can you cry under water?
Yes. The tears will simply mix with the water.
(2) Once you are in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
God gives you a huge wardrobe closet inside your celestial mansion.
(3) Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
Panties is plural because it covers two butt cheeks. Bra? Don't have a clue.
(4) Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
You have too much time in your hands.
everyday i wake up with knots in my stomach and trouble breathing.
my life continues to go into a downward spiral.
in the past, i had my dependence on god.
add to the list and let's see the weekend out on a positive note!

this is from the last talk of the convention ......... clip 1:30 minutes longhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrej8tlyiso&feature=youtu.be.
over the years, i have seen a change in heart with the country i grew up in and the general view of what they perceive as how everyone should view things in relation to morality.
a strictly religious country for centuries now forever changed within a short number of years.
i have also seen the viewpoint on this site gradually change in many ways.
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my own part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel.”
Thomas Paine - The Age of Reason. From the Online Library of Liberty - The Writings of Thomas Paine, Volume IV ,Page 34
“But
the belief of a God is so weakened by being mixed with the strange fable of the
Christian creed, and with the wild adventures related in the Bible, and the obscurity and obscene nonsense of the
Testament, that the mind of man is bewildered as in a fog.
“A man, by hearing all this nonsense, lumped and preached together, confounds the God of the Creation with the imagined God of the Christians, and lives as if there was none.
“Of all the systems of religion that were ever invented, there is none more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory in itself, than this thing called Christianity.”
Thomas Paine - The Age of Reason - From the Online Library of Liberty The Writings of Thomas Paine, Volume IV, Pages 189-190
it has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.
i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.
a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.

"...increasingly alarmed at the views of those who even suggest that God has Got things wrong, that his son Jesus would not have such a opinion,..."
There was no one to get anything wrong in the first place.
"...that the bible is nonsense etc. "
It is nonsense and I provided a link above to guide people to those nonsensical scriptures.
"...oh come on...think about it!"
We've thought about it long enough.
"For me, Gods standards NEVER change. I fully believe that Gods word was inspired and that his moral standards are for our (mankind's) benefit....absolutely. Wake up people"
Those standards that NEVER change include executing a man for gathering firewood during the Sabbath; forcing a rape victim to marry her rapist; executing a woman for not being a virgin on her wedding night. How dare you set those up as holy standards.
"The world is upside down in their thinking.
The world was upside down during the Inquisition; the Catholic Protestant wars; the execution of Mary Dyer; the Taiping rebellion and so forth. All of them were following "God's ways".
"Gods ways are the best ways. the wholesome ways, the right ways."
Allahu Akbar.
