fooly - One of my still in relatives was on zoom and was called out for having a glass of orange juice.
Still with the pious, sanctimonious bullies in the cult, I see.
they don't know love. Just self righteousness like stazi.
Boomin' idiots.
do jw's still believe that babylon the great is the empire of false religion?

The Babylon the great prophecy has not been fulfilled
....and it never will, because it's all fiction.
Why do people believe all this stuff?
Hoodwinked by grifters fooling people in to believing the Bible is a 'Holy book'!
if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.

Who really is the Faithful and Discreet Slave?

Tonus - if I walked up to you and told you I was the faithful and discreet slave of scripture, would you feel obligated to disprove it?
Even if I believed or didn't, I'd think anyone saying that was clearly bonkers and get away from them.
would you ask why I believe that claim and how I can show it to be true?
I'd be around the corner before you could say 'mental institution'.
Probably why I think the Governing Body(TM) (Pee be upon them) are untruthful.

Jeffro said it!!
........plus, I don't believe the Bible is a Holy book. Therefore, anything in it is fiction.
So, there is that.
pimo , as i said i`m going out on a limb here and i might upset some people ,but i really don`t think this is a real strategy that works and doesn`t help the person who is still in.. while you may be doing this to keep the peace in the household and keep relations somewhat stable in the family arrangement ,it`s not helping the person who is still under the control of wt/gb to break free from it ,and isn`t that what you would really like to happen ?.
and are their children involved as well ?
that`s another issue ,the longer they are subject to this control the harder it will be for them to disengage get free.. maybe you should re-evaluate what you could do more to help your partner / spouse or whatever to free themselves from this bondage they have involved themselves in.. [ of course their may be others who are quite happy to have their partners/mates under the control of the wt/gb.
It's a tough one smidds.
I imagine it's going to be each case on it's own merits.
I might upset some people
It's only snowflake idiots that'll be offended.
what are some of the red flags that should alert people to the fact that jehovah's witnesses are a high control and damaging religion?.
one that comes to mind is.
1. one cannot leave jehovah's witnesses with one's reputation intact.
You may say 'cult' or 'high control group'. It really is academic.
The truth is that the leaders protect paedophiles.
what more proof do you need that they are not 'Christian' but utter grifting scum?
jehovah's witnesses refuse to believe that jesus is the almighty god.
they would state that jesus is 'mighty', but not almighty.. below is a 30 minute video proving from the word of god that the lord jesus christ is both mighty and almighty, separate from the father but equal too.. the verses used from scripture show without a doubt that christ is mighty (isaiah 9:6) and almighty (rev 1:7-8)..
Firstly, prove to me that Jesus actually existed by using non bible evidence.
Even if Jesus is proven to have existed, you then need to prove he was as the Bible says. Then you have to prove the miracles happened and so on. You can't. Then it'd be a struggle to prove God exists.
I don't think anyone can because God and Jesus are just fiction that grifters use to get money and power.
Why do you believe all this stuff?
as 1975 was approaching, many witnesses sold their property.
do you know about specific cases that are willing to share their experience of doing so?.
"...we don't have to guess what the year 1975 means if we read the Watchtower. ...And don't wait 'till 1975. The door is going to be shut before then....As one brother put it, "Stay alive to Seventy-Five..."---- Wisconsin Sheboygan District Overseer Brother Charles Sinutko 1967.
What a pillock!
