I have been saying for a while now that you can walk away and be inactive, but as soon as you show you no longer believe they will pounce on any reason to Df you. the only reason I can think of is to keep people from asking questions. Even if you have been forgotten in action, they still remember your face, or house, and if a car group go by they have to gossip. If that gossip is about anything the org is against it stirs the hornet's nest and the only way to quit the congregants in to DF you so they can show that you can't get a way with it.

A lot of these people are the temporary workers at Warwick. I think this may be propaganda to get more people to sign up for the project. -

JW's Don't Really Believe Satan is Real ...
by TTATTelder inif you walked up to any jw and said "i just spoke to satan" they would think you lost your mind.
while that reaction makes perfect sense in the real world, in wt land it doesn't add up.
here's why i say this -jw's are supposed to believe the following:.

Yet, if you told the circuit overseer you heard Jesus talk to you, you would get the same reaction. -

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses do this?
by runForever inwhy do jehovah's witnesses as individual members readily think that apostates are having a sweeping mass delusion?
if some jw's have known you for a long time do they really think you based everything on some random delusion you randomly had instead of confirming the information?.
it's quite retarded even the bible itself is contradicting them in jeremiah about the 70 years.. i know some know, and some choose not to know but what about the rest?.

Nor is it for quite a number of people here, so quit making these sweeping accusations.
In my group of about more than a dozen Ex-Jws I know, only a couple left because of "SEX" (OMG!!!), most for doctrine, myself included.
You speak of that which you do not know.

Watchtower spiritual "retreat"
by Viva la Vida inwt applied for tax exemption to the town of ramapo, ny, on the ground that they use the land as a "spiritual "retreat", including hiking trails to facilitate spiritual meditation in the natural contemplative setting of the wooded property and reflection on the creative works of the almighty".
tax authority didn't buy it and wt sued: one, two.
i didn't know they did this kind of meditation or spiritual retreats....

So it is the same. I guess they failed to get Lorterdan to repurchase the property.
