  I'm torn between doing that during the meeting, he offered solid facts, but some didn't even hear what he was saying and just tuned him out.

  Interesting observations of mines are I saw a few brothers in there with beer bellies the size of a woman in her ninth month carrying quintuplets. Also, didn't see any young people but A LOT of old grey haired sisters and that attendance was quite sparse for the Memorial, not what I remember when people would be lined up leaning on the walls and some had to stand in the lobby are listen in the library. When the steadfast old folks die away, you'll be able to hold the meetings in the basement of someone's house like the old Tuesday night book study.

  I am eerily transported—point by point— back to the days of the pretzel-like contortions I, like all dutifully-worshipful JWs then and now, twisted myself into in defense and justification of the Watchtower syndicate’s treachery, general deceit, specific lies, nimble misdirection, corruption and, well...utter shameless, brazen bullshit.

  Exactly Amnesian, totally brainwashed, just like it the GB came out and said at the next meeting "brothers, from now on we are admonishing you to believe that 2+2 = 5, they would blindly follow and obey, I've said several times his supporters always reminds me of the Dubs, just blindly following all the drivel.

  That's because something unexpected brings out their true feelings, like when a snow or rain storm flooding will cancel a meeting

  Hey Mustard - if I even bothered to answer you, we'd be back and forth, that's why I said to Min in my comment don't even bother to respond, at the end of the day I won't change your views and you won't change mine, HOWEVER I think Drumpf is the all time biggest asshole on the planet and should be put UNDER the biggest prison on this planet, if you disagree you surely have the right, but you can type your reasons here until midnight, my views remain the same, AS DO YOURS ! I've learned just to share my views, but they will not changed, so why would anyone even want to start the argument, like you stick with your views.

  However, if you really want to argue a point I'll offer you this, I don't like peanut butter, are you one of the billions of people on the planet that do? Do you think you can change my views about that? Go ahead and try

  All of you pro-Trumpsters here, I can just imagine what kind of "faithful, believe every word" JWs you all were. But at least you all realize that the Borg is full of shit, so maybe one day you all will learn the truth about the trut . . .I mean the truth about Drumpf

  (Minimus don;t even bother, neither one of us is going to convert to the other side of our political beliefs)

  many 35 % of Trump supporters will continue to be victims of the Stockolm syndrome burying the facts of the Mueller report with their heads in the sand like ostriches

  Truth! Sad but true

  Have you been embarrassed just to be with somebody?

  the cult draws a lot of strange people in.

  people who act like snobs about education and how much more important the witnessing work is.

  people with hang-ups.

  Incognigo - Your thoughts below are mines too.

  Yah, I was embarrassed to be associated with Jehovah's witnesses, period. Being a spectacle almost every day in school, because you didnt salute the flag, day the pledge, participate in birthdays or holidays. Constantly being made to stand out, for percieved negative reasons, while not being allowed to make a solid friendship with anyone around you. Constantly being embarrassed, yet getting good at hiding it, and learning how to hide in plain sight, or avoid those situations altogether.

  But yah, I'm embarrassed that I was ever a part of Jehovah's witnesses, period.

  70 hours for regular pioneers a month

  remember when it used to be 100, now it's 70, yeah, so Jehovah spoke to the GB an said change the hours to 70, yeah, that happened, sounds like the only true religion on earth doesn't it, Jehovah keeping hourly tabs on everyone's time knocking on doors or sitting in a subway station
