Confuzzlediam I understand your meaning. It's just that all the things that are going on now are the things us "old timers" grew up being told were WRONG, not permitted, things that Christendom's churches did. They would have said they were attending to have their "ears tickled", remember that? Well, who's tickling ears now?

Watching that video was disgusting! Those poor children singing that dirge and the "performance" of the band and singing a wordly pop song on the stage of the KH, I am speechless. When I got married at the KH in the 70's I couldn't even have a "wordly" song played while I walked down the aisle...it had to be an awful kingdom melody! It seems they are desperately trying to appeal to the younger ones. And holding up all the fancy electronic devices!! UGH!! Thought the internet was a tool of Satan. Can you imagine if a Witness had been in a coma for a few years and woke up, he would think WTF 😮 -

My maternal grandfather's name was Lynn. My brother was named after the two grandfathers with Lynn being his middle name. He married a wonderful, kind, giving woman whose middle name also happens to be Lynn. Just a bit of my family trivia probably of interest to no one here, but enough to identify me to any stiil in family lurkers who may be here. Unfortunately, ***** Lynn and ****** Lynn stiil drink the JW koolaid. -

SimonSays: please check your facts about Jerry Lewis and the MDA telethon. A simple check at the Snopes website puts that rumor to rest. Neither he or any of the volunteers received financial compensation. -

Is this for real or a satire from a clever apostate? If it wasn't for the reference to electronics, I would think it is something from the 50's, from the Leave It to Beaver background music to the clothing and hairstyles. How could anyone with any gray cells left watch this and not be insulted? -

Dr. Oz is the latest TV snake oil salesman who would sell his granny if he could make a buck. Tune in tomorrow for the latest miracle med which of course, is available for purchase on his website. And, really, who would hold their door open for a stranger to show them something on a tablet. No way is my door opening for that and I live in the relatively safe suburbs. How are the elderly JWs coping with all this, I have been wondering. -

How a Gay Jewish Boy from New England Came to Be and Leave the JWs (and what he did next)
by CalebInFloroda inborn in cambridge, ma to a liberal couple that escaped the conservative south, my parents raised me better than to become a jehovahs witness.
funny thing was they got mixed up in it first.. while that is a story for another time, i myself had to go along as the third of five children in my family.
dads job transferred him to texas and my mom worked fulltime herself, but eventually we found ourselves drinking the kool-aid of ambiguity intolerance and full-fledge belief that the bible was literal fact and that salvation was found only by those who were smart enough to enter the confines of the watchtower.. its weird how many people claim they fear children raised by two gay parents will grow up to be gay.

What an interesting life story! Can you imagine the announcement coming from the platform: Brother so and so has been disfellowshipped bcause he has a high IQ!!! Bear with me, I do not remotely fall into that realm, but I take it from your posts that you do not find the NWT all that accurate?
