" you will never grow old..." a more grievous lie is hard to imagine.
i heard this one first in 1957. i was 6. my mother had just converted.
i heard it many times after that.
Not only that my wife and I would never grow old , but our children would never go to high school .
My wife and I are in our 70`s , and not only did our children go to high school ,they married and had children of their own ,who also have gone through high school , and married and had children.
And the WTB&TS today , takes no responsibility for "Witnesses" who took them at their word and never had children .

can anyone remember that classic magazine article that stated:.
"education teaches one how to think, but propaganda tells one what to think" ?.
(if someone can post that quote and article that would be great!).
LTPF , that quote just about sums up all of the Watchtowers publications to a tee....Propaganda !

my favorite were the ones where they were reading a wt publication in the break room at work, and an inquisitive co-worker, thirsty for spiritual knowledge approaches them.
this leads to an informal witness, which eventually leads to bible study and baptism.. in all my years of working, i've never had anyone show the slightest bit of interest in what i was reading while i was on my break at work.
but as i said, maybe it's just me..
I must admit nobody ever inquired about what I was reading in my lunch breaks ,for the many years I did it.
However dumbass me was converted by a co-worker.

she turned one today, and 36 earlier this week.
we planned a big party, big for two people that have never thrown a party before.
we rented a church fellowship hall because 1. it was nice and big and affordable and 2. it was kind of awesome to throw a party in a place we would have never ventured in our previous life.
Happy birthday to mrs. dub , sounds like you had a great time , I loved the bit about a church fellowship hall LOL
May there be many more.
Buy a pack of gingerbread biscuits and bite off their heads.

bad timing for the bunker video with all the police drama going on.. https://www.the-newshub.com/general/jehovahs-witnesses-promote-police-hatred-at-summer-conventions.
recently one member after viewing the video material was triggered into climbing a bridge in australia and screaming about the ‘great tribulation” coming at any minute.
see picture above..
I would like to know what the general public`s view on this video is if it could be put out their somehow.
I would like to see journalists of Radio , TV , and print media , take on this subject and see what the publlc`s view of this video is.
Children are in attendance at every Jehovah`s Witness Meetings , as they don`t believe in separating them from the adults in worship.
And this includes subjects that are sometimes not suitable for young ears.

Getting back to that video, The Bunker video , , is this a normal film for young children to be subjected to?
The fear of Police , the Armed forces , Governmental Authorities , of the Country you live in ?
How do you think young minds are going to process such indoctrination .?
are they going to grow up normal with a healthy mental attitude ? or are they going to be paranoid about authority in society outside of their religion.
Is this not a form of mental /emotional /social .abuse against children of Jehovah`s Witnesses ?
Who knows how such indoctrination will manifest itself in these children in years to come.
Putting them at a disadvantage to the rest of their peers for their development to be responsible citizens as they mature into adulthood ?

stuckinarut2 , the report i read , didn`t identify this person as a JW ,however it did mention he had a slver Bible ,and he explained his actions to the police that it was because of the coming Great Tribulation ,and the photo seemed to back that up about the Bible anyway.

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.. .
While I was reading your story I was wondering is this a fictional account ? or a true story , and when you mentioned your friend Johnny , I knew.
Thank`s for posting Terry , a great experience .
