Why use a Bible with a cross on it? Just shows how little research the "journalist" actually did.

Well, seeing as their thing is tomorrow that leaves time for her to join you at an Easter service at a church next week! Sounds fair.
Probably ignore it and keep that can of worms closed.

Spiritually Weak Ones Are Bad Association according to the Governing Body
by RULES & REGULATIONS inafter you read the words of jesus in mark 2: 17, you will see that the contrast between the teachings of jesus and the governing body.. .
you clearly read what's written in the bible, but the society is always twisting and bending scriptures to their benefit.
here is stephen lett talking about ''spiritually weak'' members and twisting jesus's words teaching on sinners:.

If they really had any faith at all, couldn't their strong faith be considered a 'vaccine' against spiritually weak worthless slobs they must associate with just to get along in the world?
Guess Jesus would have been bad association when He ate with the sinners huh?

Have you tried using the 'search' bar? I was going to find something for you but there is too much to choose from. I just typed in - Jesus mediator for only 144,000, try that or something on that order

Just found out Chris Stuckmann is ex-JW
by LoveUniHateExams inchris stuckmann is a youtube reviewer of films and aspiring film maker himself.. he has over a million subscribers to his channel.
in my ignorance, i've always been a bit jealous of successful youtubers, including stuckmann - y'know, 'they make loads of money, life must be great for them.'.
and then i found out chris stuckmann used to be a jw, was born into it, and walked away from it.. he says in this video that even now, his dad will probably never speak to him again for telling all about his past.. well, all the best, chris stuckmann!.

Interesting bit of JW World War II Trivia.
by Athanasius induring world war ii when the nazis occupied a large section of the western part of the ussr, heinrich himmler considered various methods to help control the indigenous population.
alexander dallin reports in his book german rule in russia 1941-1945—a study of occupation policies, page 616:.
“himmler conceded that the easterners needed some general system of values, but it was madness to spread nazism among them, and to revive the orthodox or to promote the catholic church in the east was dangerous.

Just had to add that he was not brought up jw and came to it later in life so his experience and what they tell him may be different than a long time jw or born in with previous generations (real generations) may know. Somehow he often does not seem to get the memo.....

I have showed my jw the letters and such, didn't make a hill of beans, just a bunch of apostate crap...... sigh. Actually wrote to museums etc... and did not come from apostate sites. Didn't matter one bit.

You will! and you will have words of wisdom for some young poor soul just like some of the more 'advanced' posters here!
Did you know there are people cheering you on without you even knowing? I know, it's weird being online and all, but still, in some of my dark days just knowing some here wished me the best, knowing really nothing about me gave me a bit of lift some days. Their kindness still overwhelms me sometimes.

Ban on Independent Meetings
by lssjr insource - march 2021 announcements - - https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5085868283920384/2021-march-147-english-german-announcements-reminders.
this is a sobering reminder of what happened some 40 years ago when raymond franz and others were literally kicked out from the jehovah's witnesses for having pre-arranged private spiritual discussions.lesson: paragraph 7 is another example of the i and t in dr. steven hassan's bite model of the 21st century cult - information and thought control at its best!!!!
"my gosh, there must be a lot of independent meetings these days.
