You don't have to rely on the elders and congregations to bail you out.
You can just rely on the local directions of local authorities.
You can survive and get by without the elders just fine.
Just another way of making the followers feel more reliant on "them", infantilized.
after years of speculation, jw movie star & chorus member nicolas king, who ironically starred as the bad guy espousing homosexuality in a jw movie, has coupled up with his performing partner and also performed in a church for pride month.. .

It is so ironic.
It is beyond ironic if you ask me.
dear brothers!.
we have gathered here because, according to your claims, i have apostatized, and as elders, it is your duty to maintain the purity of the flock.
it seems now that someone has contaminated it, apparently.

Thanks again Atlantis!!!
today, i received a call from my oncologist nurse.
she informed me that i will need to sign a consent form for a blood transfusion.
the doctor will see me next wednesday to go through the consent form with me.
The Borg expects perfect compliance from imperfect people.
i believe this list which many of us worked on needs to see the light of day again...and added to if possible.. you know you are in the wrong religion:1. when the all important question is not: "do you believe in the lord jesus christ?"....but....
"do you believe in the "faithful and discreet slave" appointed in brooklyn in 1919?"2.
when you will be refused baptism if: a. you don't believe jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bc (whereas all non-jw scholars, all encyclopedias and all history books say this event took place in 587 bc.)b.
....then you cant think for yourself

Too long to read.
When you get "old", its too much to 'wade' through.
I hate to sound 'mean',,,but just a summary will do.
another boring and repetitive ''watchtower study.
'' all the articles are about the ''faithful and discreet slave.''.
for whatever reason, you tolerate this for years.
All you ever heat at meetings is about the governing body and faithful and discreet slave.
But seriously,,,,before we had kindle ,iphones or internet,,,I would just zone - out into some daydream. And as the reader would change the pages as he was reading I would just follow the audience to make it look like I was following along.

And no critical thinking.
