i know that some of you don't personally think that the gb wants to cause harm or is only after the money, but after reading some posts on here, it seems like some of you do think that the gb is evil.. .

if you think about it, that doesn't make sense, but here is just one question.

why would the gb create a time limit on their organization if they believed it to be false?

Heathen, to be honest, evil lurks everywhere if you want to go there. Sure, the GB can be and has been "evil". That description also plays right into their hands with da flock.

I will simply refer to them as "profoundly misinformed as to their standing with god".

Me ex is still a JW. She stayed because as she said at our Gilead intro, 'my family is the brotherhood now.' which turned out to be the case, as she wanted the 'brotherhood' over a marriage.

I have been lonely since, but I had no desire to pretend to believe in something just to keep my friends. The ex was different.

I agree with Blondie and Mary. (as usual)
