there is a lot of exjws who have been out 10-20-30-50 years, but for some reason, when they see a group of jehovah's witnesses, sitting by their carts, drinking coffee, scrolling through phones, laughing, something inside happens.
most can't explain it.
some say it makes their blood boil.

Yes, it is easier said than done. It took me about 20 years just to get to that point. I didn't suffer any major losses like you describe. I only had the garden variety BS JW'S inflict on you when you leave. I left when I was in my early 30's and my wife happily followed suit. So I was lucky with that. All I'm saying is forgiving low level brain washed publishers who are otherwise descent people helps heal. We were all one of them.

I felt the way you do for many years. What helped me is, I now look at rank and file witnesses as victims and I feel pity for them. I am grateful I escaped their situation and count my blessings. However, for GB, high level leaders and the cult itself, well Darth Sidious said it best.
fruits of the spirit would surely be required to be gb members?
yet some of them seem to lack self control when it comes to eating.
br herd, mark sanderson and br jackson in these are all very obese.. if they travel to poor places wearing their rolex watches and gold pinky rings the brothers there will surely wonder why they are so fat.. there are many scriptures talking about not being greedy and not gluttonous for food.. if they were really chosen by god as his channel on earth then why can’t they show the fruits of the spirit and show self control when it comes to being gluttonous?.
Rattigan is a troll.
The GB are fat for the same reason the pope and many cardinal, bishops and priests are fat. They are lazy self absorbed pampered pigs.

i finally got my own copy of the new song book in english.
i notice that the lyrics in one of the songs have been changed from:.
fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul.
Thank you for reminding me of this classic and profound song and 867-53-ohhh-9.
i have read somewhere that jephthah's daughter did not really go into temple service but was a victim of ritual sacrifice.
the bible says that after weeping over her virginity that the maidens would visit her annually.
how could they visit her if she was killed?.

I agree with everything you stated. For some reason the account of Jephthah's daughter really throws people's cognitive dissonance into overdrive. Truth of the matter is Jehovah isn't too worried about people or kids dieing. Job 10 kids 7 sons 3 daughters dead for what. Egypt plague, probably a hundred thousand kids and another hundred thousand adults. Elisha has Jehovah kill about 40 kids because he was pissed he lost all his hair.
It goes on and on for innocent kids getting killed once you start thinking about it.
The flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Amalekite slaughter, Midianite slaughter, Jericho city collapse I'm sure there are more examples. But, Jephthah's daughter???? Jehovah could never, ever, EVER allow an innocent girl to die!!! Even though that's exactly what is stated happened in the bible.
Best part of the mission was Bezos doing a face plant.
