I guess no one, no JW is willing to take a little time off from work for JG to get this project finished. The noise restriction is very reasonable and consistent with most cities codes.
Yeah, two days, became quick builds, which became one monthers.

I know this will make Rutherford roll over in his grave, (he hated moms and Satan's disgusting Mothers Day) but we will have fresh flowers, cards from all our animals, they love to give cards with special notes, and a new Eyevac, which she has been craving.
Breakfast made is a given and so is dinner out.

My wife said her true awakening, that they will lie at the highest levels, happened with the COC book.
We were told by someone at the Service Desk, who had ALL the inside knowledge of Franz, lots of lies of what he believed, why he was DF'd, that he was starting a new religion, that he was upset that he would not be the next WT President, that the book taught the Trinity, Hellfire, that he wanted to be worshipped like Satan, etc...
When all the book really did was give a documentary look into the Governing Body's thinking and decision processes.
Why the blatant lies? That's obvious. They don't want people to know the real truth and the conclusion you would come to. Jehovah's Holy Spirit is not guiding them. Its all a ruse.
A strong JW for many years, my wife, after that, quickly saw through all the spin, and can't believe she was such a victim of the WT.

They are Zombies you know. They are not thinking for themselves. They let the Governing Body think for them. They feel they have free will, but they don't, far from it.
For those still-in the WT, they believe everything the Governing Body says, without question. Even when its obvious its wrong, they will except every spin that comes their way. Sometimes it seems some will NEVER wake up to the truth, no matter how obvious it is to us and all those outside the organization. (see 607, 1914, generation(s), etc..)
What does it take to break free from this 'trance-like' state and is it possible?
As in my case, and what many others here said, it takes just one lie that we accepted, that's all, then the whole WT wall comes tumbling down. "You mean, THEY LIED TO US?!" With that realization, its like a veil is removed as a person comes to now objectively examin the WT ways. Quickly, as if dominoes falling, one at a time, a person is now shocked to see how they have been lied to all those years.
How many had this awakening in this way? You finally accept you were lied to. Then you start to research each and every WT explanation and you are amazed that not only CAN they be wrong, but ARE wrong in almost everything. Their version is now questioned and is no longer accepted as infallible. Especially when it comes to their own history.
So, its my conclusion, that until a JW can come to accept just one lie, and come to that realization, they are stuck in JW Zombie land.
What can we do to wake up or shock them out of their trance-like state? Is there one lie that stands out, that woke you up? What was the method used to expose that lie for you?
Remember, it only takes one, that's all, to wake up the Zombie in them.
Its not easy, but hundreds of thousands have been woken up and are living great and happy lives again. They have come back to the living. It can be done.

I just bought a key chain for my nephew. I thought it was funny, but its for personal reasons, not to share with the mass public.
I asked him at Christmas what he would say if the JW's came to his door and he joked and said "You can go and F*** yourself" He lamented how the JW's have F***** up his family and ruined them. After 12 years, it still hurts him to see his mother and father refusing to associate with him just because he doesn't believe there stuff anymore. Its a joke between us to lighten up the moment.
Now for those who still want to judge, well, you got some growing up to do. The WT may still have a stronger hold on you than you realize.

New CO talk: Be loyal to Org. even if you get weird instructions or can prove them wrong doctrinally!
by sir82 intheme was something about "loyalty to jehovah's visible organization".. i have neither the time nor inclination to summarize the whole thing, but a few points stood out:.
even if it causes you personal hardship.
example: joshua & caleb returned from spy trip to promised land with good report, but were "outvoted" by the other 10 spies.
