The actual ending was that the dfd daughter was trying to call her parents to warn them that paramilitary teams were attacking JWs and that they needed to hide in their bunker. Her JW parents refused to answer her call. Minutes later they were slaughtered where they stood in their home.
Fortunately, the dfd daughter survived to see that the attack wasn't armageddon, it was just a violent end to another cult.

You wear tight pants and you will be in trouble
by wannaexit ini was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.
if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.
i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.

"tight-fitting jackets and pants that highlight the body."
This was clearly written by fat-asses in WT offices like the GB. Every brother should wear clothing that makes them look fat and out-of-shape so the dudes on the JW broadcasts don't look so pathetic. What next? Should all the brothers with full heads of hair start shaving in bald spots to match the GB (except Losch)?
"Manifesting effeminate traits"? Isn't a man shaving his face something very effeminate and contrary to nature?

Effeminate men in baggy girlie pantsuits:

call out to awake JWs...... want to have some fun with this?
Start a prepping fad, start talking about prepping a lot among other members.
And time to start speculating about how the world's indifference to JWs will suddenly decide to attack them. I suggest two possible scenarios:
- President Trump will join forces with the Fox News crowd to start the Christmas War. Since JWs have been at the forefront of the War on Christmas, the authorities will track them down and force the JW bunker-dwellers to sing Christmas carols and buy presents for their children on Amazon. This will escalate to the Revelation Climax.
- President Clinton will join forces with the LGBT community to start the Gay War. JWs will be tracked down and forced to sign a document stating that tight pants are okay.
- President Trump will join forces with the Fox News crowd to start the Christmas War. Since JWs have been at the forefront of the War on Christmas, the authorities will track them down and force the JW bunker-dwellers to sing Christmas carols and buy presents for their children on Amazon. This will escalate to the Revelation Climax.

You can hear people outside looking specifically for JW's. Bunker brothers taking comfort in scriptures. Patting themselves on the back for having listened and staying loyal. Reflecting on all the different ways they stayed loyal (what they showed in the previous videos). Authorities finally break into their bunker in the end and close in on them as they gather together and stand firm, ready for whatever awaits them.
That whole scenario is so 1970s. Now the "authorities" wouldn't have to be "outside looking" for JWs, they could easily track them down through the JW.borg Internetwork. And they wouldn't "break into their bunker", they could blow them all away with drones.

Someone anonymously tipped the elders?
by raven inso here an update on my current situation, in a nutshell i've been trying to quietly fade for the past 5 months.. well, my mom somehow found out that i am currently fading and that i live with my boyfriend (for more info on this check my previous posts) i told her yes i live with him and yes i no longer want to be a jw.
anyways, yesterday she met my boyfriend.. awkward.
and after lunch she pulled me aside to tell me that the po came up to her (he was part of my jc when i was reproved) he said to her "someone came to me and said - i cannot say who so they will remain anonymous- but that your daughter is living with someone" my mom confirmed and apparently he told her that i have one week to confess this, and if i don't my parents are obligated to tell them everything.. what kind of nonsense is that?

So the "sheep" has moved 100 miles and it's been 5 months without any contact with these "shepherds"? Now they're playing the master based on your living situation?
As a fader, it is a challenge to get on with life and live the way we want.

She displayed a literature cart in front of my house: That does it for me!
by Tempest in a Teacup inis this something they've asked them to do?
cart displays in front of their homes?
my mom is only in her mid 60s so i'm quite sure this is not an issue of mental illness.. the only illness she's suffering from is boredom since she's refused to work for years now.

Teacup, hasn't your mother been paying attention at the meetings, looking at the pictures, and watching the videos (well, I'm thinking of the one coming out at the RC)? JWs are soon to have to start hiding in basements and fear for their lives! If all the neighbors know that she's a JW, they'll head straight over with torches and pitchforks to murder you both and burn the house down with her cart and WT litteratrash inside! Supposedly, Jerkhovah will only protect the organization, he will NOT protect individuals who face the consequences of their own foolish actions after they've been warned of the dangers facing dubs... very soon now.
If she feels the need to preach, she needs to be much more cautious and preach where people won't recognize her and follow her home to kill her during the tribulation. Or doesn't she believe that armageddon is coming and JWs will face attack by Satan and the worldlings?

"Hope for what we do not see" - Review
by problemaddict 2 ini give it 3 thumbs down.. the video starts with an ambulance in peru.
the ambulance people look at an id and a no blood card in spanish.. quick flash away to now and a happy family of a couple with 2 young boys.
all good kids it collages their everyday life, all centered around theocratic activities.

A search on YouTube finds plenty of other religions that use the same "modern day Job" story. The JWs don't have a monopoly on "hope".
WT has reduced themselves to the same level of cashing in on the same emotional storytelling.

Maybe I'm Just Ignorant About the New "Anti-Gay" Video
by turtleturtle inhomophobia (m-w.com):.

Can someone tell me, specifically, was homophobic about the new "Anti-gay" WT video. Particularly, what showed an "irrational fear", "aversion", or "discrimination"?
The entire JW belief system and all WT teachings are based on "irrational fear" of so many things, from plastic toy wizards to a cataclismic armageddon that is always just around the corner. They have an "aversion" to everything from cartoons about warrior wizards to asking questions that are just a little too apostate. And "discrimination"? They don't just discriminate against all "worldly" people, they discriminate against their fellow JWs for some of the most trivial of reasons!
When someone has a fear of everything, should we be surprised for them to tell the world that they're afraid of spiders?
With their "One Dude, One Non-dude" video, I think they're pretty tame on their condemnation of homosexuality compared to most of the previous things we've read and heard from WT on the subject. At least the video mom didn't scream "OH GROSS! Now I've got to scrub you in bleach so you don't catch HOMO! And we're homeschooling you from now on! Armageddon can't come soon enough to rain rocks on the heads of all the worldly people, especially those gays parading around in the tightest of pants!" No, WT would probably save that message for the cartoon when Caleb comes home and tells his mom that some apostates tried to offer him candy and talk to him.
Don't get me wrong, I think the video is horrible and dripping with cult poison, But it has about the same level of hatred and discrimination toward gays that WT shows toward all worldly people, and some JWs that are doing enough or wear pants that are too tight.
What I'm not sure about though is the situation with the dude and the duffle bag as an illustration of being gay. Was the dude gay and he had his dwarf boyfriend in the carry-on bag? Or was he straight, but had certain sex toys in the bag that aren't allowed around pandas? In which case, it isn't so much that the video is anti-gay, it's just really, really weird.

It's all a hefty dose of cult speak to try to prevent anyone from asking the really important question:
Where is all the fu@king money going?
etc.
