it seems to me like certain people actually benefit from joining the religion.
primarily i'm thinking of ones with drug problems who are only able to quit because they are working towards baptism.
another example would be those who are always getting in fights or who have a big ego, and who learn to be pacifistic and humble as a witness.

not sure if this topic has being covered recently.. my son asked me a question if the jw's have in the recent months being pushing a new end date to the system?
he was telling me about how his mother has being on him again about the urgency of the end of this system of things and he needs to do something asap.
i told him i am not aware of any new dates as i have being away from the cult for over 20 years.
Ah, yes, Waton, but I have a golden type- and antitype- in my service bag!
Would you like to gaze upon it? Here...
See? The chart shows how the WTB&TS first predicted the resurrection of "ancient worthies" in 1925 then... see the arching arrow that points to 1975? See? It's all there in black-and-white, Man! Just like The Beatles' album!

well i will not be offering a tl/dr version as that would be too difficult and it would also be an oversimplification of how i got to see the man behind the curtain.. my story begins at the 2016 regional convention of jehovah's witnesses.

To the best of my limited knowledge, no specific date has been "revealed" yet, but for years I've been saying that 2034 is a good bet. We arrive at that date by adding 1914 - the year that nothing happened - to 120 - the number if years that a cartoon character named No-ah preached to the cavemen about the coming of The Flood, which was closer than the inside of his eyelid.

I can REJECT the emblems in the comfort of my living room recliner wearing only my underpants, I don't need to dress up in my Easter Bonnet to go to the Kingdom Hall just so I can reject the emblems while sitting on an uncomfortable "Theocratic" chair while being lectured to about how undeserving I am. BITE ME, WATCHTOWER!
