this statement may seem odd at first.
you may think of jehovah's witnesses as being an american religion in a country where freedoms exist and are prized.
you may think of the organization's legal battles in the supreme court to protect certain rights and freedoms.
Barbara Anderson has a great talk that she gives written out on her website Barbara Andersons Watchtowerdocuments :
She mentions that they used to fight for freedom from oppressors, and have now become 'The Oppressors'
Thank-you Barbara love you guys !
every single bible student/jehovah's witness who has ever lived, has been indoctrinated to believe that a catastrophic great tribulation would very soon engulf the entire earth, causing untold death & destruction.
this spurious teaching is drummed into every j.w.
's head and used by them as a major recruitment tool.
There are many ways to interpret the end times of the Bible, this study is called Eschatology. The WT uses a Futurist and Idealist method. Most interpretations are a mixture of the three types to a certain degree, here is a good Wiki article :

Hope this helps
so the elders called wanting to meet with me and my husband.
most likely because i told a concerned jw friend of mine that i really care about that i wasn't coming back and a couple of the issues i had.
i didn't bring up any so-called "apostate" information, just told her about the australian royal commission and that there are a lot of unscriptural teachings and that the gb apply scriptures that are about jehovah and jesus to themselves, which is idolatry.
Good stuff loving it right on for having a backbone Sevan, best wishes !!

Good stuff Terry shared !
pastor russell's life fascinates me.
because he seems like a person who never had any fun.
such a serious face without a smile to be found!
CYA slippery little rat ! ' I'm like a jellyfish that just floats about here and there' is how he responded to his wife's accusations. I've met many a JW that have this dishonest type personality trait. You should see the look of horror on their faces when I call them on their BS and let them know I've ben researching the WT's history hehe ! Incredible that both Russell and Rutherford be the heads of 'God's Channel of Communication' and be such despicable dishonest cheating husbands.

Oh he had fun alright groping that cute young live in helper behind locked doors in her own room !
most of us here have seen and experienced the judgmental attitude among jw's.
the pioneers look down on the publishers.
the appointed men look down on the non-appointed men.
Overheard a pioneering cleaner elder from my former cong. and another pioneer sister at the assembly hall chatting about how so many in the suburban congregations have 'houses' !!!!!!! There were some tisk tisk sounds thrown in. In all fairness the elder is super nice guy, just so brainwashed and deceived by the cult. His wife is beyond suicidal and he refused a college trust fund to pursue 'kingdom interests' Last I heard he is still at it in his sixties doing cleaning jobs living on next to nothing and with no furniture. No wonder his wife went nuts.
it is subtitled.
cant find it for looking.. thanks.
He's a friend of JWPrimetime, that vid is classic ! Still has me in stiches after multiple viewings. He changed his YT account name recently buy they are all still up as well as new ones where he comes out as publicly as 'apostate' I'm sure someone will chime in, sorry name draws a blank right now.
the remarkable sister pettifog.
this morning i arrived on my bicycle at the local starbucks early, before the intensity of the texas sun boiled to full blaze rendering me a soggy, wrung out mess.. i took up my perch on the outdoor patio in the shade, eager to work on my book of short stories.
this will be my 3rd book and i’ve been enjoying the process daily.. .
Incredible Terry THANK-YOU ! Shared !
