Such apologists have a lot to lose.
When ones entire theology hangs on a mere thread with no backing they really pull out all the stops to uphold their confirmation biases.
probably everyone else thought of this long ago, but i, being an "independent thunker" thunk of it just a coupla weeks ago.. we all know that since the year zero (on the fredfranzian calendar) the wtb&ts has defied archaeology and insisted that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, even though the physical evidence shows that 587 bce is a more likely date.
in fact, the book "the gentile times reconsidered: have jehovah's witnesses been wrong all along about 607 bce?

all the big changes for jws since this last fall brought me back to this site, and got me and the wife talking.
just how many things were we not allowed to do growing up as jehovah's witnesses?
we were so used to all the rules, customs, and traditions, that we became used to them.. one site i found claims there are 141 unique rules!!
"This is the best life ever"
" we treat people how we'd want to be treated".
" we are the most free people"".
""As humans,, we do things by 'choice' ".
ROFL. All those above statements are laughable & ridiculous. 🤣🤣 ( UMM ok)

I'll just rephrase.
You can get disfellowshipped for what ever the elders decide. By ones 'apparent' lack of remorse.
With the shunning to ensue brought on by the kangaroo court.

The list goes on and on....
And you can get disfellowshipped for breaking any one of them. Subsequent shunning to ensue with loss of entire family,, most of your friends compounding with depression and mental anguish.
""Wr treat people how they would want to be treated"".
Umm ok. ROFL. 🤣

Here. I thought I would insert this here.
Stacy outlines perfectly how the Borg can manipulate, distort and hide previous doctrines to suit their own narrative,

The eronious foundation of WT Borg theology hinges on the flimsy 607BCE 1914 theology.
Its dependant on it.
The Borg will just 'say' it less,,less & less.
Then 'scrub' it from their online library.
Manipulative.

The Borg has a way of 'scrapping" old light and reinventing itself.
Patterns. Yes patterns.
There was a youtuber a few weeks ago who uploaded a video by a talk given by GB member Gerrit Loesch. The word ""truth"" was uttered 120 times in 7 minutes.
Its called mind control.
Well same thing when it comes to the eronious 607 & 1914 theology narrative.
Say it less,less,less & less.....
Same tactic but in reverse.
Stacy last week on his Surviving Paradise touched on this perfectly.

Chucky is kicked to the curb.
They can boot Rutherford too.
Just the way the Borg reinvents itself.
And by scrapping old literature and going completely online.

Yes. Many have commented. About patterns.
Patterns of the Borg mentioning things less,,less & less until "something" is forgotten.
Its part of mind control. Or programming.
""Belief and faith are not evidence"".
You can believe in something as deeply devoted as possible until you're blue in the face and sweating blood.
It doesn't necessarily always mean its true, or evidence
BTW,,, welcome to the forum.
