If you check this post of 4 years ago he is a newish army recruit. Therefore if he served his two years he will have been out two years. Remember his English isn't perfect.
He said he had sex with a minor.
Yes and he was also a minor....sometimes Reddit gets so puritanical. No it's not advisable but they were both kids

No, he actually said that when he joined the army, he felt bad even though at that time he had been out of the JWs for two years.
Yes. He DA at 15. Joined up at around 17/18. Has been out of the army for 2 years now.
My point was that his AGE timeline is correct as per his posting.
I don't understand what the issue is. He had sex with his girlfriend when they were both teens....what's so shocking about that? Probably not the smartest thing but par for the course for most young people......either married or not married. Many JWs marry at that age (or within a year or so) and then divorce. What's worse? To my mind better to marry later....for life, than rush in to marriage in order to feel better about having sex, only to divorce a couple of years later.
Sinboi needs therapy to get over the terrible fear, obligation and guilt (F.O.G.) a Watchtower upbringing imbues in young folk.

JeffroI think he’s drifted from his timeline. Apparently he was 17 6 years ago, but now has only recently completed his 2 years in the army which was required at 18.
Jeffro he said he's been out of the army for 2 years....which if he did join at 18 makes him anything from 22 to 23 years now. Meaning he was 17 six years ago...c'mon now. English isn't his first language and it's obvious the dude's clearly struggling here ...

May I ask what you posted?? The problem was definitely not you being in the military, that's for sure. Lots of exjw do that.

Are you saying exjw reddit barred you? For being a double lifer? Am I understanding you alright? Am I missing something?
Reddit is super judgy and obsessively virtue signals....but that's insane even for them!!
i still can't believe that fleegle is a member of the gb!.

Hey....sounds like Fleegle might be Pimo...he asked for the secret password .....plus I could swear that's Randall Watter's under the lion suit, there! It sounds just like him!
yes, waiting on jehovah for him to handle a problem/ doctrine etc.. when did the jw's first start saying that?
they've been saying it as long as i can remember.. what scriptures do they trot out to back that teaching up?
?.
The Master delayed in 1975"! The "slave" changed Matt.24: 48-51.
Absolutely Bill Covert. Very Astute observations.

Hi there's a 1959 Watchtower pamphlet called "Look! I am making all things new!" that mentions waiting on Jehovah.
Although Drearyweather is correct in that the Bible is the original source of the JW concept of having a "waiting attitude".
are any or all of the gb from jewish descent?.
why are they so fascinated with following ancient jewish 'principles' ?.
isa 43:10, 44:8 ' you are my witnesses ' which they based their religious identity on, jehovah's witnesses, yet those verses address the jews, not christians, which they profess to be.. jesus said in ac 1:8 'you will be witnesses of me ', .
" consider the balance of teaching time spent between talking about OT topics and characters and NT topics and characters. What do we see? It is obvious that the ratio is at least a 75/25 split, in favor of Jewish themes."
"Simply said, people in a rule based religion are easier to control, it demands unity of thought and purpose ... and in our case, it was important that the Jehovah's Witnesses religion, looked drastically different to the classic Christian faiths "
I'm with No Zombie on this one.
They focus almost exclusively on Jewish "principals" to the exclusion of the loving and forgiving message of Jesus, only visiting the NT in order to twist Paul's words on shunning and deprive witnesses back in the day of children and a happy family life.
