There are some who still "have to" attend meetings (or feel they have to) because their family does. Some may be young adults who live at home, some may be wives whose husbands are still "in". Some symptoms of these might be, not arriving early to fellowship, but, instead, arriving at the last minute and leaving immediately afterward. Also, not commenting or rarely commenting. Not singing the songs (as opposed to those who think they are giving a concert and the rest of the congregation are their backup singers). If they go out in field service, not talking at the doors. Not attending any of the social functions such as congregation picnics, not meeting with others who go out to a restaurant after the Service mtg, etc. Usually they are not "friends" with anyone else in the congregation.

Canine apostates? Next year there will be feline apostates. Then marsupial apostates....
What a**holes they are. And to think how millions of brainwahsed robots flock to these BS sessions.Reminds me of a song..."Some people want to be abused. Some people want to be abused....."

The Book Study was my least favorite for several reasons. The other mtgs were at the Hall and therefore felt like "real" mtgs, with the sound system, music, and plenty of space. For the school & service mtg at least there was variety; different people handling each part. That broke up the monotony.
But with the Book Study I resented having to get all dressed up just for a 1-hr mtg. Chairs cramped together, same moron conducting the entire mtg every week. No variety. I resented having to help put the chairs away afterward. I hated goodie night because in order to get to any weeknight mtgs I had to skip dinner, and certainly did not want to fill up on sweets such as brownies and banana pudding if I hadn't eaten anything since lunchtime.

The Bible they claim to use shows that Jesus and his disciples dressed appropriately for each activity. For example, Jesus removed his outer garment before washing the other people's feet. The apostles who were fishermen worked in their undergarments or even naked. They did not wear their "ministry" clothing. Photos like this provide more proof that this is a mind-controlling cult.

Why are they at the beach when rightly disposed ones in the territory might be praying for one of God's representatives to come to their door and show them how to be God's friend? There will be plenty of time for beach outings in the New Order. Those people should be cleaning the Hall if they've fnished with field service for the day. They cannot pretend to be informally witnessing at the beach because no one else is there. Yes, even the worldlings know better than to give in to the selfish pursuit of pleasure.

If you make up an excuse such as masturbation or some other sin, they will try to help you overcome it. (That's their duty as elders.) They'll expect you to overcome it even after you step down; they'll be asking you about your "progress". When I was reaching out I've had individual elders ask me if I masturbated or not. I remember at least one asking if I was circumcised or not.
But if you use your health condition as the reason, there is nothing they can do about that.

Sparlock Child's Toy Makes Jehovah Sad!
by frankiespeakin inwell according to the governing body aka> jehovah's spokesman for the entire earthly population, a toy such as sparlock that is in the posession of small children who's parents are jws makes jehovah "sad".. well if that is true then jehovah needs to see a psychiatist for depression caused by unreasonableness and phobias.
if this little child toy makes him sad, and prone to wrath and murder, as biblical accounts show him wipeing out vast portions of the human and animal populations when his sadness hits major proportions, he also needs to take some anger management courses to get a handle on his sanity and riegn in his jealousy which seems destructive and out of control at times.. it is no idle speculation that if jehovah finds sparlock offensive and makes him depressed, he's got some serious mental issues, but realistically this sadness is all a projection of the governing body and shows them to have the issues that they are projecting on a imaginary figure whom they call jehovah.
in other words the currant governing body are a bunch of mentally sick bastards in a delusional state of mind..

So...Jehovah does not intervene when "his possession" were in the Nazi concentration camps, but he has a cow over a child's toy. Even before that, he first creates everything and then "feels regret" in Noah's day.
Definitely unbalanced. He needs the kingdom to come and make him perfect.
