Carla- I wish I wouldn't have read jw talk link from FFGhost. Can't unsee it.
Same here. What a snivelling bunch of sycophants.
Was I like that? Actually, the answer is no. I always felt somehow 'unclean' in these kinds of North Korean like false praisings for fear of a witch hunt.
Cult doesn't even cut it, it seems far worse.

Biahi- Fuck them all.
This is the only response that encapsulates the truth of the matter. Many of them will be power tripping busy bodies.
We don't usually have basements in the UK, I wonder how the Jobos will get on if the pigs come for them? Perhaps they'll have to excavate basements to WTBT$ specifications.
British Police are usually dim wits anyway. They're more interested in arresting for hurt feelings on Twitter than actual crime. I'm sure they're too busy being corrupt than going after Jobos. Many British Police really are a bunch of thickos. They don't understand law but they do understand bullying....unless you tick diversity boxes...then they leave well alone.

The face of the woman in blue says it all.
What a poe faced old git!
It will depend on multiple factors.
What the 'personality' of the congregation is.
What the biggest bully in the congregation thinks of it.
I'm a firm believer that a congregation is ruled by the biggest bully or bullies. There is no real love in the congregations. It's all fake, fake, fake! And the bullies can fake off!
....and let's be honest, the answer to anything cheerful in Jobo world is usually, 'NO!'
Whatever the question that doesn't involve giving money to the GB to protect sexual predators is always, 'NO!'
Can I enjoy myself? No. Give money to the GB.
Can I do this that or the other, to make life happier? No! Give money to the GB.
who is more powerful out of the co and the body of elders?
i remembered a time i was a reg.
pioneer and my service overseer in my congo was asking one of the regular pioneers during the meeting with the co. how powerful is the co to the body of elders and how powerful is the body of elders to the co?
And rips the congregation for being too materialistic.
And then the scrounging benefits cheat will stay at the most opulent house for hospitality.

13. how did prayer help one family who were unjustly treated?.
13 consider the experience of a sister named vero, who lives in the democratic republic of the congo.
Why do I feel that it's always 'groundhog day' experiences in the washtowel?
It just seems to be the same old stuff with different names to Andre.
"through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;.
through the fear of the lord evil is avoided.” (proverb 16:6, niv).
sin can be cancelled [yə·ḵup·par] by acts of goodness such as kindness [bə·ḥe·seḏ] and faithfulness, and sin can be avoided in loving remembrance [ū·ḇə·yir·’aṯ] of god.
Aby - I hope you help many more to escape the Jobos

Aby - I don't see how splurging copy paste actually helps. I say this because in my personal experience as a bloke that left the jobos, it would not help.
What would have helped me? 1-2-1 dialogue not based around someone's own interpretation (or borrowed interpretation), of what the Bible says.
Why? Because the WBT$ had already hoodwinked me into believing someone else's opinions. Perhaps it's the British mind.
People like me are great blokes, mate.

Simon - Great, another bible-vomiter.
Conversations are like pulling teeth with these type of threads. It's a huge spew of copy paste. Waste of time trying to have a conversation. I really couldn't be bothered now.
I hope I wasn't like that when I was religious or a JW. Hiding behind a screen of copy paste doesn't get to the authentic person.
catholic church killed off alot of christian books from the "offical" bible collection.
so why let thru the weird book of revelation?
have you read the watchtowers explanation it's a joke rutherford's conventions play a huge part..
Aby - A believer and not. Fair enough, mate. All power to your elbow.
Regarding your question “how do we know it isn't relating to a thousand years from now?” It is not about future period because Scientists tell us we have the last chance to save this earth, to cut co2 emission fully.
Scientists say plenty. I'm not convinced that it means the scriptures relate to now or that there's even a climate 'emergency' as they like to carp on about.
Count me as a sceptic.
