"his wonderful loving organization" -- are you serious!! The most evil org I've ever been around and all in the name of a god that only approves of people under the spell of following men of corruption.

39Email from JW relative/elder
by Lynnie inas much as i enjoy you and pete's company, you also know our understanding of how much we want you to be reunited with jehovah and his people.. .
we did not set the standards for what jehovah says about our associations with those who choose to not serve him.
so we will always be there for you and pete, but it is in your hands as to how we can enjoy your friendship.. .

Upon learning of a terminal illness would you return to being a JW to appease your family?
by NVR2L8 inthis is an hypothetical question...i am doing well.
but i was thinking about how my jw family, grandchildren and all will feel when their inactive grandfather dies with no hope of being reunited in paradise.
of course there would be immediate rejoicing if i came back to the "truth" and a surge of conditional love from the "friends".

NOPE, never! Heard of a husband who attended few yrs. ago with his wife when her cancer had reached terminal stage. There was, of course, negative JW chatter how he was only there for her and had no intention of ever being a JW.

It's a beautiful season but I'm counting the days to resume normal life -- it's time consuming but enjoyable. I've noticed some neighbors' homes aren't as glitzed up as in the past but they're probably cutting back due to busy-ness/age, travel to visit family, etc., and dealing with workmen/lighting cos, etc., decorating, time consuming - or did too much last year! It's a lot unless you're under 50!

Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??
by minimus inas jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.
i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.
it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

NoAbuse -- here's an idea: Check out your local community college for course on gibberish.

Min - you are spot on re/very difficult (actually impossible with the left rhetoric starting in elementary/primary school now) for a student to challenge any professor today. Child development-brainwashing 101. You don't wanna know how liberal Lewis & Clark was even 90s (forever) when member of family attended - unreal. Very expensive education - one very serious liberal college and today it's not unique. I think many non-religious folks are considering these religious-oriented colleges. With the student loan crisis these colleges keep raising their tuition/costs, instructors have easy pay increases (minimal work - some very minimal work) - what difference does it make because the handout game continues. It's a cash cow circus.

'Experiences(tm)'! Made up or totally true??
by punkofnice inat one assembly(tm), i was asked to relate an 'experience(tm)' which i did.
however, during rehearsals, the geezer in charge elder or co or some such title, told me that i shouldn't tell it the way it was.
i did a 're-enactment(tm)' with another 'brother(tm)'.

One experience was a doctor who had to bloviate how bad higher education is -- avoid it and just serve the cult. The speaker could not believe nor many of us. What a sick cult.

How Many of you Remember Mr. Rogers Neighborhood?
by Sea Breeze injust saw the movie "a beautiful day in the neighborhood" with tom hanks as fred rogers.

Mr. Roger had to qualify as a Christian compared to JWs! JWs are the antithesis of christians who love and do all they can to shelter, feed, clothe, provide medicine, etc., to their neighbor but the GB Goon Squad has determined not to be a good Samaritan - imagine that! More divine revelation and more money for them to squander and live in luxury.
It would take more than kindness and compassion for JWs to grow their base in this country. Most people are clueless about them but what little they do know keeps them running (and alive) from it.

Royal Commission into Charitable status .
by smiddy3 inaustralia has in the last few years conducted a royal commission into child sexual abuse in institutions ,the banking industry , and now aged care facilities .. i think its about time they had a royal commission into organizations that claim charitable status and eligibility to receive benefits/funding whatever.. i`m sure that if they ever did wtb&ts/jehovah`s witnesses would never meet the criteria to receive it.. as they do no charitable work in the community.. if they do any charitable work at all it is only to benefit only jehovah`s witnesses who they consider are in good standing in the jw community.. and isn`t that discrimination ?
not only among their own people but also the whole community ?.
or is it just wishful thinking on my part ,and its not going to happen..

So the filthy JW cult skated around the RCC? I'm not surprised -- that's been their lucky charm for decades. So much for caring for the children and victims as the gospel covers everything/gag me.

by The Fall Guy in...that their web site is the most translated in the world.. https://www.tomedes.com/translator-hub/most-translated-website.php.
do jw's genuinely believe that statistics prove divine backing?
you can fool some of the people some of the time...there are lies, damned lies, and statistics!.

Smiddy - JW/WT religion has to be the most distributed unread magazines/books on planet earth. What product waste!
