Because it is such a bore they have to embellish it to make it sound like a fabulous party. If you repeat it you might believe it. "It was the best ever convention" play that on repeat and you'll end believing your own Bs.

JWs Demonstrating against the Demonstrators
by Listener inthe organization never ceases to amaze.you've got to see this video for yourself so i won't say much about it.

If someone breaks up or no longer wants to be with you because you refuse to join their religion, I'd say that person is not worthy of you. Don't you want someone who loves you for you?
This lady is willing to do naughty things with you in secret which she knows her religious beliefs goes against it, she knows that she has gone against the watchtower cults mandates, yet she is willing to hide her naughtiness from the elders yet she still gives you a ultimatum of either becoming a witness or lose her. She sounds like a very selfish deluded brainwashed fool. She can do naughty things and protect her image and that is why she wants you to be a witness. So she can look squeaky clean and marry you and no one will know she almost fornicated and did naughty things with a non believer. She gets to marry you if you become a jw and still look squeaky clean.
From experience these type of jehovah's witnesses are the worst. After they have cleared themselves of their sins they become hardcore cultists. Extreme to the core that they are unbearable.
True experience. A jw elder was committing adultery for 10 years. He got found out and was disfellowshipped. He became reinstated with his newly converted wife who he was having the affair with. They are now the 2 most judgemental, die hard jw's. They are extreme into their cult worship. It's like they become extreme once their sins have been cleared because they feel the need to gain approval. They become unbalanced.
Here is what will happen if she marries you.
She marries you and gets reproved or disfellowshipped. She is still indoctrinated and the shunning will be hard to bear. So she gets reinstated. Going back to meetings she will be reindoctrinated and become fanatical because of her guilty past. This means she will treat you as a second class citizen. Meetings, assemblies and witnessing will be her first priority.
She will not participate inany of your holidays. Birthdays and will not even attend church celebrations with you ( Eg weddings)
You will fight because she will not compromise.
Your life will be a living he'll if she doesn't leave the religion. There is no compromise with jehovah's Witnesses. It's their way all the way and you will be the worldly wrong one.
By all means try and wake her up. If she doesn't it's better you leave the relationship. It will be heartache all the way.
You have to remember their intelligence has been stolen by the cult. Their brains are not their own. They are owned and manipulated by a very powerful totalitarian cult that commands their thoughts.

Respect? No way. This evil cult is abhorrent.
Destroys families,
Shuns anyone who leaves and demands family to shun their loved ones.
Demands loyalty to the point where people die for their totalitarian beliefs.
Fuck this cult. And as much as I love my family, they are brainwashed to the point of being completely programmed by the cult. Any negative feedback or exposure about their beliefs they get all get glassy eyed and wash the negativity out of their brains. I was once like this, I admitt I was a brainwashed uneducated dumbed down drone. Then one day I allowed my self to question and research.
I hate to say this but jehovah's witnesses lack any real intelligence.
Jehovah's witnesses are trained to be dumb. They are told what to believe, and what to read and to never criticise and never have any negative thoughts of the cult. intelligent people are made to comply and eventually lose their real intelligence. Born ins have it a lot worse, they weren't given the chance to develop intelligent thinking skills. I was a born in, dumb as batshit because I was a jehovah's witness. Which discouraged me from questioning, openly accept negativity and prevented me from doing unlimited research, let's not forget the big anti university stance or higher education. Forcing and praising young ones to quit school and pioneer which encouraged us to rely on government handouts.
I was told to believe and I did.
Well I broke free from them, I see seemingly intelligent people in the cult and realise they are dumbed down because of this cult.
Jehovah's witnesses have a stupid meme going around stating to not type jehovah's witnesses into google but to go directly to jw.org. What does this tell you about their "intelligence"?
They are mentally handicapped.
No I don't respect their beliefs.
I hate the religion and their beliefs. 😉

RC Was Worse Than I thought...
by JW_Rogue ini was visiting with my family and it seems the rc was worse than i thought.
now they all seem to think that "we are so close to the end" and that the "brothers are really preparing us for the gt".
some even saying that soon our message will change to a judgement message for mankind and talking about how we need to improve "everything we do".

Just a question. Judgement message, what will that be? How will they tell worldly people that? Is it basically you don't become a jw you will die? 😏

Keeping your sanity while stuck as an active JW
by oldskool ini pass along this advice as a new topic, to get it past one off comments that may not get as much attention.. i exited the jehovah's witnesses about a decade ago.
like many, my personal situation felt to restrained to act on my impulse and get out quickly.
i took about a year and a half to two years to leave via da.. i empathize with anybody leaving the watchtower who finds it difficult to falsify dedication, interest, and belief in both their personal and public life.

You know I'm a inactive jw. But wanna be a public apostate but can't because of family. We have found our happy medium. We don't go to any meetings, assemblies and zilch field service. Family still associate with us. They don't ask we don't tell. We celebrate the holidays and birthdays quietly. if watchtower abandoned the shunning policies we would be completely open about our stance. Till then watchtower and neither do our brainwashed family need to know our true feelings. watchtower wants to play dirty we play dirtier. While inactive yet still part of the jw social group I have been able to pull out my best friend and a few others by carefully planting seeds. We have our gatherings of us inactive jws. We are torn between being honest or losing our families. Everyone has chosen different paths and our path is right for us. it's a big fuck you watchtower, my one finger salute. I will have my cake and eat it too. Watchtower does not deserve to take my family or happiness away. So I play... 😈

How was your wedding?

Had a big italian jw wedding of around 300 people. Had a ball. The brother who married us kept telling my husband to tell the band to make the music softer. My dear rebellious husband would nod and say noted. He then went to the band and said awesome job guys keep it loud 😂.
Awesome night.
Then we got back from our honeymoon and got pulled aside by 3 super dub women ( 2 are now out) to give me a stern scolding about having and giving oral sex to my husband. (all based on assumptions)
