Loved your video. I am 59 and just got out 2 1/2 years ago. I spent the first 57 years of my life serving this publishing house. Glad you got out while you are still young enough to enjoy what you have left and are no longer a slave to the organisation.

Breastfeeding in Bathrooms...
by cognac inthe natick, ma assemble hall used to have it's own room for breastfeeding mothers.
they changed this room to the accounting room or something like that and now have seats available for breastfeeding inside the bathroom.. there is one other small room available for breastfeeding but they close that off when the baptism is going on.
needless to say, i used to get so pissed off that they actually wanted me to breastfeed in the bathroom that i would threaten to a brother that i would take my boob out in front of everybody and that is there problem because breastfeeding in a bathroom is unsanitary.. one year they put me in some backroom.

I had to breastfeed my daughter in a tiny 2 stall bathroom while sitting on top the vanity. When another mother came in to change her baby, I would have to get up and stand to nurse my child in order to let her use the counter to change her baby's diapers. Sometimes there would be two of us sitting on the vanity breastfeeding at the same time. People would come in and take a dump and it smelled horrible. Toilets flushing constantly. Some of the more modest sisters would actually go into the stall and sit on the toilet and nurse their babies, making people wait to go to the bathroom. How undignified that situation was.

I would let them stay home and play instead of going to meetings. Just be honest with them and tell them it's a high control group and they don't have to believe it and that you know it's not true.

More evidence of fraud in 2nd Peter: Noah didn't preach, per Genesis 6
by adamah inthanks for reading the 3-part series on the contradictory characterization of lot in genesis vs 2nd peter, analyzing genesis 19 and comparing it to 2nd peter 2. in the articles, i took a step-by-step approach to show how 2nd peter's declaring lot as "righteous" was exactly the opposite goal of the author of genesis, since the point of the story is how unrighteous lot was saved not due to his righteousness, but on behalf of his righteous uncle abraham (the star of the torah).. of course, the book of 2nd peter is widely acknowledged by nt scholars to be a fraudulent work, written under a pseudonymous (fake) name in order to 'patch up' some loose ends in the torah, likely to support then-blossoming doctines of christianity.
of particular interest to ex-jws is that one intent was to support the duty to warn others of the coming end of days, including the jw's beloved scripture, matt 28:19, that justifies their preaching work: "go thereforth and make disciples...." the only support for the claim that noah preached before the flood is found in 2nd peter, so it's a dubious claim.. in the latest article, i examine the flood account in genesis 6, showing how god had already condemned mankind even before he offered the covenant agreement to noah, so there's absolutely no reason for noah to be a "preacher of righteousness", as 2nd peter claims, since god's judgment had already been passed, and death sentence had been handed down.. .

Ideas to wake up the JW 'Feelers'
by Captain Obvious ina great point was made by neverknew on another thread about certain doctrinal issues will cause a 'thinker' to wake up, but a 'feeler' will just shrug and carry on.
the feeler jw is often not stupid, but intellectually lazy.
they will often not bother to do research, whatever is said from the platform is fine.

Don't give up on her a I like the suggestion of wooing her away. That is the way a lot of witnesses fall out on their own. They miss enough meetings nd the natural personality and desire comes out.
