I love how they reference the "wild beast(TM)" without mentioning what the wild beast is according to their whack-a-doo interpretation.
Can you imagine the headlines if they unambiguously stated in print that the UN is going to turn on organized religion? Instead, they have to let the reader go digging in the archives to find out what the wild beast is.
They're clearly embarassed by this teaching.

I could only find the article in French, but you can use google translate. I remember this guy vividly and it churns my stomach to think of what he did to that poor girl. She's the same age as my little sister and I cannot imagine what I would do if it had happened to her. The fact that he abused her in the kingdom hall itself also blows my mind. The creep had no shame.
hey guys,.
this is going to be a topic of a different nature.
so, while i am not looking to date at the current moment since i'm still trying to figure out who i am and what i want life, i do want to start dating in the near future.. my issue is that i've been in for almost all my life and it's left a big hole when it comes to my romantic life.. i was wondering, after leaving, did any of you date?
i am 6th generation.
i have been out for a few years.. back story on the situation:.
i had a co come by while going door-to-door in the neighborhood.

anyone not living under a rock has certainly heard of this ridiculous trend to not vaccinate children for various pseudoscientific bull**** reasons but not everyone knows that jehovah's witnesses used to be at the forefront of the movement.
some of the quotes in the link i posted above are completely batsh** crazy, i encourage newbies to have a read through..

spear points dating to thousands of years before the flood (or even adam's alleged creation, for that matter) found preserved in situ among mammoth bones in naco, arizona.. or the 14,000 year-old footprint of a child at a mammoth hunting camp unearthed in a bog in monte verde, chile:.
the kicker is that this isn't even the oldest evidence for human settlement of the americas.
since the wt loves to trot out frozen mammoth carcasses as "proof" that mammoths died in the flood, who were these mammoth eaters in north america?
I used to think that way too, sort of like if god was a baker he didn't magically make a fully formed loaf of bread out of thin air but used time, heat and ingredients.
Of course, once you go down this path you have to completely dismiss the bible as being the word of god because man didn't magically appear on earth fully formed just 6,000 years ago.
So you either join another equally silly religion or you become an unaffiliated deist or (like me) you join the dreaded atheist camp.

so i started dating on the internet in june and have met some nice guys.
i have put in a few recent posts that i have a boyfriend and wanted to give an update.
things haven't worked out sadly.. i was seeing him for a couple of months we were having fun and then things tailed off after christmas.
i've always been a "spiritual" person.
i've been an avid bible reader since as early as i can remember.
i read the bible cover to cover for the first time when i was about 17 years old and have read it at least twice more since then.
It's scary that's for sure. Nobody can tell you what to do and it looks like you've already fallen down the rabbit hole in terms of discovering that the foundations for your faith are worthless, just be prepared for heartache either way. If you stay you'll be eaten away on the inside and if you leave you'll lose all your friends and maybe family.
Do what you feel you need to, I was in your shoes once and I just quit everything at once. The elders turned up once or twice but couldn't be bothered to even disfellowship me. I put everything behind me and moved on with my life, your results may vary.
