Will this memorial be our last? (1 Cor. 11:26) Probably not, but count on Jehovah's "faithful slave" to play you moronic puppets until the strings break. You'll gladly gulp whatever bilge-water kool-aid we offer you. Oh, and we need more of your money, so cough it up, or you might die at Armageddon, and you wouldn't like THAT, would you?

This is a symptom of the insanity induced in people by The Watchtower. Next year he will probably deny he said it.
Jehovah's Witnesses yearn for Armageddon the way an alcoholic yearns for his next drink.
Armageddon will be the event that frees them from all worldly cares and proves that THEY were right and everyone else was wrong.
The leadership of the WTB&TS has perfected the art of leading people on a few days, a few weeks, a few months at a time until the convert's entire life has been given away in hope of a Great Heaven-Sent Banquet that never arrives.
One quirk of human psychology that makes this possible is that humans HATE to admit (to themselves or anyone else) that they made a MISTAKE. We see this in all aspects of human behavior: selecting mates, accepting jobs, making investments, deciding what to eat for their next meal.
By comparison, CATS do not suffer from this character defect.
this is something that's been bothering me for a while.. if god could see into the future, why has he allowed so many bad things to happen?
for example in the garden of eden.
he should have known from the beginning what would happen.if there was even the tiniest chance that they'd eat the fruit then god obviously didn't think it would be benefical to, idk, prevent it from happening?
Q.: If god could see into the future, why has he allowed so many bad things to happen?
A.: He's fucking with you, man!

Q.: What approach should i take?
A.: Hit your head against the wall until you get a better idea.
if you are sure there is no god, do you then believe that we,our minds, are the highest intelligence?
not just of the universe, but the cosmos?.

A.: I don't know, I haven't met them all yet.
many, after leaving or being cast out of 'the society,' have felt so strongly so as to write a book.
some well thought out and good reading.. my questions are the following:.
if you were to write such a book what title would you give it ?.
"My Mother Was Is a Dope"
about a year ago i had an exchange of emails with an elder of a congregation where all my jw relatives attend.
i asked him all kinds of questions regarding blood, 607, shunning, evolution, higher education.
as anticipated, he either had no answer or provided an evasive one.
Sorry if I "harshed your mellow," never_a_jw.
I was raised a JW from the age of 7-ish, was a pioneer and a Ministerial Servant in my congregation and gave the 1 hour public talk on Sunday. Then my brains kicked in; today I'm an atheist and hold no fondness for parasitic metaphysicians.
...but I can speak JW if the situation demands it. Perhaps this is one such occasion, eh?

Hell no.
There is no "spirit realm" subdivided into parcels called Heaven or Hell. There are no "spiritual beings" called gods, angels or demons.
You have no "spiritual organ" called a soul. When you are born, you begin your one-and-only experience of life, and when you die it is over.
What DOES exist is the human imagination capable of self-deception to disguise some of the harsh reality of existence.
You're welcome.
