  I've not read all the posts nor watched the video -- not sure I could stand it but I hope the shunning video goes viral on social media -- xjws should make a point to post or talk about it every day. Employees at Fashion Show Mall/LV were well aware of it/brought it up in convos -- were so shocked at the info they'd hear working w/so many JWs and XJWs or ones trying to escape.

  Normal people don't give a darn if you're a witness

  i find this to be the case, people in general are so not interested in religion that they really could care less about jws.

  Longy - you'll love this -- there's a beautiful catholic church block (or 2/strolling distance) off the Las Vegas strip -- it's famous -- think it's called the Guardian Angel Cathedral (love going to weddings there - always beautiful inside) and many high rollers frequent the place for mass -- the church pulls in extra priests, etc., just to count the donations. Gotta love it!

  Much better than robbing/squeezing poor adherents' monies.

  Yup -- me, too, Longy! Hahahaha -- now that's too funny/lol re/the bullseye. I have to remember that one. Catholics I grew up with were happy and proud of their religion -- not embarrassed and defensive like the JW cult members. I have couple of girlfriends who stopped attending after jr. high other than xmas/easter (they say twice a yr. is enough for them (lol) but couldn't wait to be married inside the church just so they'd have beautiful wedding photos -- churches are so beautiful! Like miniatures of St. Patricks in NY (well, almost). My goodness -- can't go into enough of them in Europe just to see the magnificent art. I still have to return to finish observing one of my fave artist's, Carravaggio, famous painting -- the church's meter ate all my coins and the lights ran out! You know how you start at the left hand side to study or read and hells, bells, I made it about half-way through - I was somewhere in Rome but found more in Venice cathedrals. Oh my I grew up in the wrong church (boring Baptists!) - the Catholic church clearly has all the great art/oh my!

  I might also add quite a few Catholic friends/acquaintances run from their religion! It happens.

  Why did I never see THESE scriptures before?

  july 15 simplified study watchtower par 8, p. 24 - “we need to obey the faithful and discreet slave to have jehovah’s approval.”.

  (john 14:6) jesus said to him: “i am the way and the truth and the life.

  no one comes to the father except through me, or the wtbts inc.".

  LHG - at least the Catholics have positives going for them - I just tire of hearing JW negatives and there are many. At a funeral recently comment made by a Catholic, 'if this was a Catholic funeral they'd have the alcohol out and pouring'😂 I doubt right there at the Catholic church but I don't know. He's not even a drinker -- or wasn't! Many life-long, bonded, friendships, among the Catholics -- a beautiful thing.

  carla -- same type of response I get from people. I don't broadcast info about any family being members -- too embarrassing but some in the extended clan know and I have to hear how it's such a cult and, of course, they feel all righteous and exuberant re/their chosen brand of worship. The ones who've become Catholics love to expound on topic of history (the oldest religion gag me) and the evangelicals/born-agains, etc., are certain they're in the chosen religion of what's happenin' now, I guess. For church goers they're not too concerned about the 'do not judge' scripture but maybe I have that one all wrong.

  I do admit I'm guilty of judging JW religion myself and not too impressed with a couple others I have to hear about but I don't make remarks in public.

  Beth Sarim - on previous page are you referring to JWs being "incensed" re/all the begging for money? Are they actually allowed to express disgust?

  Thanks -- That's closer to it than what I found googling and scanning through.
