There have always been hangers on in the cult. From my exp. the cult does not jump on people until they are baptized. Its not really amazing that people don't know anything of the history of the cult, they work hard not keep it that way. I once went to a hall many years ago with a family in north Michigan. I think they were called Levett or something like that. Two boys and two girls, the girls were never baptized and would drink and smoke, the boys went into the military and smoked. I saw the one boy several years later, he was out of the Military and was smoking a cigarette. I made some comment on how the JWs were a cult and believe it or not he started in with the Hey, I am a JW. I have the scar on my cheek where I had to bite down not to laugh in his face. You are smoking a cigarette and don't go to meetings and you claim to be a JW? He could not see the irony in it all.

21Probably the most bizarre encounter with a witness family.
by Dis-Member inwent to a bar with a friend a few days ago.. we were sitting in the outside garden and i went back inside to get another round.
on my way back out i passed some tables with a family of about 6 or 7 people sitting and celebrating a birthday.. i overheard the name jehovah mentioned and i stopped and asked if they were witnesses to which one of them replied 'yes'.. we got into conversation about the latest watchtowers and the governing body.
none of them had a clue what i was talking about.. they new nothing of the 8 men brooklyn being the faithful and discreet slave, nothing about c.t russell or rutherford, nothing of how jesus came and selected them as his chosen people in 1914-19, in fact the only thing they knew about 1914 was that that was when the first world war started, nothing about malawi and mexico, never heard of candace conti or any of the sex abuse scandals, nothing about the 2 witness rule, nothing about the elders being chosen by the holy spirit, nothing about 'new light', nothing about the orgs involvement with the un, nothing about the blood fractions changes they knew almost nothing at all about the majority of their own organisations core teachings.

I ran acorss this on FB. Its a school that is just for JWs. WTF for I don't know, you only need to know how to knock on doors and push propaganda in someones hands. I can't believe the WBTS is not putting and end to it. They used to never let anyone control anything, and I have never heard of hte WBTS having an offical school. WTF is the world coming to.

So the same old Borg, nothing much changed. I was thinking it would be very strange if they had moved much. Sooo glad I am not part of that cult anymore. Sad that family will take a cult over family but thats the way things are.

OMG another date. The dubbers knew it was the end of the world in 1874, they knew it was the end in 1914,1916,1925. I left this shit hole of a religion and they are all shit holes to one extent or another in 1995 when I saw they changed the meaning of Generation. I kept my old Truth book, that shows the bible and an arrow pointing from one side to the other saying within one generation, so I can always remember why I left that shit hole of a religion. They screw up peoples lives, and then pull the rug out because its based on lies that is based on a fantasy book. -

Yesterday's WT Study par 17
by leaving_quietly ini marked down "research" next to this paragraph w13 1/15 p.11 par.
17), and have yet to do so fully.. "modern christians held in nazi concentration camps with possible death facing them were given repeated opportunities to gain their freedom by signing a declaration renouncing jehovah.".
was the declaration to renounce jehovah?

The dubbers lied about the numbers, it went from thousands to a couple of hundred. The Nazi regime was not all that concerned with the Dubbers. They had to make themselves outspoken to get noticed. All that clap trap about how worried the third reich was about the Dubbers is all horse shit to make themselves feel important.

Should a Jehovah's Witness allow an imperfect person to come between him/her and Jehovah?
by I_love_Jeff in"what are some ways in which you might develop such loyalty?
one would be by cooperating with your local congregation elders.
(hebrews 13:17) recognizing that christ is the appointed head of the christian congregation, mature christians are loyal to those appointed "to shepherd the congregation of god.

Sorry but your post is a load of shit. God is only pretend and to debate your question is like rearranging the deck furniture on the Titanic.

I moved to Florida from North Michigan a year ago. I have not been to a KH in over 15 years, that said they know who I am at my old hall. I got a knock at the door and it was an elder from my old hall. I guess he comes down south for the winter. LOL. That was about two weeks ago and now his wife shows up. Not sure if they are still trying to get me to say I don't believe in the JW way of life or not. I doubt it as they would not send a woman to do that. Do they report that information to the old hall records? Of not. Not sure how that's done.

Its a bit weirder than the title may lead you to believe. I moved from Michigan where I was a Witness for 30 years to Arkansas and then to Kansas. A year ago I moved to Florida. Saturday I had a two men show up at my door a black and white guy with the usual suspects awake and NWT. I opened the door mentally preparing to ask the usual questions when I realized I was sure I knew the white guy. The black witness said you don't know this guy. I said I think I do, did you live in Michigan I asked. Yes he said. Did you live in Northern Michigan I asked. Yes he said, what is your name? he told me his first name and then I asked his last name he told me and I said, I thought so. He was an elder in my old congregation from years ago. I had not seen him and we actually talked for about 10 min, then he tried to go into his presentation about the devil. I cut him off as politely as I could and said I really don't have much to do with any religion anymore but thanks for stopping buy. They both seemed like it was not offensive to them. Now I will have to be a bit less or a lot less offensive when dubbers stop by. I don't need a connection to the the hall all my files are in. Its possible now to be DFed for speaking out against the cult.
Not a problem. I have grown past the need or compulsion to rant against the cult. I am settled in my belief and under standing of why its wrong and that I don't believe in the Bible or any god.
