i know this is an old topic, but it came to mind again.... yes it is appropriate for people to dress neatly and respectfully for a dignified religious gathering, but why does it have to be a full suit with collared shirt and tie?.
why does it have to be a full dress or skirt and jacket?.
sure, we would find it distasteful for a person to arrive in swimwear or work overalls or other inappropriate attire, but why does it have to conform to strict standards?.
It just makes them look goofy at this point. There are very few professions now where full business attire is the standard.
A troop full of JWs walking around a neighborhood or hitting up McDonalds dressed like that is plain idiotic. They do more harm to themselves all in the name of trying to show off.
can anyone help me find geoffrey jacksons quote about people deciding to walk away from the religion and not facing sanctions, i need it to cope with some busybody elders.
please xxx.

my initial pangs of unease and doubt led me to research some things.
well, a lot of things really.
i've never felt comfortable using the bible to try to calculate dates (1914).
it's impossible to leave with your reputation in tact
This is very true. Its how cults set things up, there is no honorable way to leave. Because why in the world would you ever leave The Truth/God.
It takes time to accept that these are simply cult rules and you then decide what works for your circumstances. The great majority end up realizing freedom is much more of a prize than cult friends. When you are ready you will be able to leave without worrying or caring what these folks think of you.
found this on social media.
i understand the feeling having someone reinstates especially after 16 years.
but why did they have to suffer this long.
It pains me to see the level of brainwashing among these folks...like you say how in the world does the punishment fit whatever his crime was? And these folks sit there and blather on about how merciful the desert god is...sickening.
...is an epic triumph is emotional manipulation.
bringing together all of the stories they told thus far and placing them int he "new world" complete with the little boy who was killed in a car accident coming back from the dead.. i have a good friend who is stuck in with family and plays the role.
he said everyone was crying, and the people next to him rated the videos by how many tissues they needed to dry their eyes.
That's hard to watch through a critical eye.
When exactly is this? I'm assuming after the GT and during the 1000 year reign? Cause there's a dude with a beard, so he's resurrected that way? Haven't they taught him to shave yet?
Cause all the other loyal JWs are super groomed to a T, not even stubble on their faces...so I guess Gilette is still making Mach 6 razors well into the 1000 years?
So many questions, I need answers!!
i came in during all the hype over 1975. the predictions about that date were the real driver behind all their activity.
since then, they haven't had a good goad to prod the sheep.
they seem to be smart enough not to try another date.. i think they plan to use fear instead.
I think the worry over these videos is a little over the top.
They have no ideas. They have no vision. They are plugging the holes in the dyke with their fingers and thinking their real problems are going to disappear. Or that the mighty Jehobo will bail them out.
Every time they do something they wake more people up. This will do the same. No they aren't ever "going down" or having a "mass exodus", but the ship hasn't been repaired by this propaganda.
its a gorgeous building, and you should see the commercial they made for it.. http://21clarkstreet.com.

Watchtower purchased the property in 1975
Oh, the irony!
i want to spare you a long post about my background.
because this topic is about something else.a small information is that i knew ttatt before i got married.
but then i somehow pushed it back for quite some time because i didnt want to change my life and it was convenient to instantly meet new people when you move into a new city.couple of years into my marriage and seeing all the changes in the jw my thirst for ttatt resurfaced.
So we talked. She said that she remains faithful to me to this date and that she was only messaging other guys just to talk, because for a reason she couldn't talk to me. Unbeknownst to me, my wife got convinced about TTATT but for a reason couldn't talk to me about that. At least that's what she said.
Your wife had/is having an affair.
i asked a couple of them farther up the street by north station if they had ever seen beth sarim - and that they should look it up...for some interesting facts about their history.. .
Don't be a regular ex-JW jerk, just mind your business.
I'll make a deal with you DY, once you stop being a JW jerk, coming to my door, promoting death dealing anti-blood policy, and quit promoting the breaking up of families via shunning - then only will I mind my own business.
howdy guys!
this is our latest video on the jw broadcast in short form.
we talk about jw marriage challenges.
Great job! Love your analysis.
Serious acting skills as well! Loved you eating the magazine!
