  This bit really jumped out at me:

  “…He yelled at us throughout the entire meeting because we're not doing enough to stop the exodus…”

  Clearly, he knows something they don’t.

  i been reading quite a few experiences on reddit lately, and their seems to be a common theme coming up….

  …dialed-up-to-eleven shunning of xjws by their witness relatives.. it reminds me of back in the day, listening to some of the over-the-top vitriol displayed by hard-core loyalists when the topic of evolution or apostates came up….

  …i was gobsmacked when i finally realized these guys weren’t offended and indignant because they thought it was lies….

  GrreatTeacher - “…The brothers have simply finally heard the sound of their consciences and are listening to them.”

  Unsurprising, really.

  Raise up a “generation” (sorry 😜) of folks on “The Truth”, some of ‘em will actually come to value actual, authentic truth.

  Not to mention that all flawed ideologies need regular booster shots.

  i have a question about this article.. https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/jw-education-school/.

  higher education can lead to moral and spiritual dangers.

  a bible proverb says: "the shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself.

  I remember one time when I was still in, listening the the anti-education rhetoric from the platform, and thinking to myself, “if they keep this up, they’re gonna end up with a ‘worldwide body’ of morons”…

  I can distill it down even further.

  The Org feels threatened by education because it helps young JWs realize that the WTS is, quite simply, wrong.

  TonisOH - “…I think they say that to get people to stop talking about it. If they can convince you that they cannot be reasoned with, then perhaps you will stop and they will not have to deal with questions or arguments that they fear might 'stumble' them.”

  Hard to argue with.

  I’ve heard that sometimes the staunchest defenders secretly have the biggest doubts.

  East Germany / the Old Soviet Union didn’t actually give a shit if you truly believed, as long as you paid lip service and did what you were told.

  The WT is more like North Korea.

  They wanna rewire your brain in the regime’s image.

  jehovaxx - “…you have become inactive. This does not warrant shunning…”

  On paper.

  In practice, though?
