i had a luncheon yesterday with and aunt and cousin.
the only reason i went, and endured it, was because my father who can’t drive wanted to see them.
as i sat there eating the lunch at the restaurant, i couldn’t help think how totally oblivious they are to what’s going on, in an ever expanding organisation of the happiest people on earth.
It is understandable. JWs have to push their fantasies in order to qualify for their PERSONAL salvation. We "apostates" are not compelled to torment others to be happy in the eternal NOW.

I agree with you. There is no virtue in convincing a person on their deathbed that their dreams of ressurection and paradise are irrational fantasies.
I'm in my mid-70s. I have two PIMI (fleshly) brothers who are also in their 70s. I see no point in convincing them that for the past HALF CENTURY they have been fools.
i'll start by stating the obvious... according to the watchtower, the catholic church is a huge part of babylon the great which is led by satan and his demons.
raymundus martini, a catholic monk (who "represents" babylon the great to some extent), woke up one day in the 13th century and decided to alter yhwh so it can be easily pronounced.
hence the spanish-ish version of yhwh was created... jehova... (sounds something like this in spanish: heh-o-va).
The Watchtower's "Aid to Bible Understanding" published in 1971 revealed this fact.
.....and replaced with voip by 2025. https://www.pmctelecom.co.uk/blog/are-landline-phones-being-phased-out-in-2025/.
just heard this on a radio station's advert..
Same over here in the USSA, except that our conversion is nearly complete.
this psychiatrist makes sense to me.. https://youtu.be/l5wcqc6m-gi.
Where did Dr. Bergman earn his multitude accreditations? Maybe one of his myriad fans can list his CV.
Jerry is or was a follower of Mr. Duane Magnani, who is eager to help anyone who has money and is willing to bend a knee to Mr. Magnani's version of Christianity.
REAL helpers, like Carl Olof Jonsson, Ray Franz, Atlantis, Alan F and Farkel don't seek ego inflation from diploma mills, nor do they ask an oath of fealty from those who seek them out.

So will Mark O'Donnell be the next Lloyd Evans?
Beware, little ones. Someone may be seeking his own advantage.
the so called apostates of first century later became the catholic church.
these apostates like saint athanasius, theologian, ecclesiastical statesman, and egyptian national leader decided which books would be part of the bible.
we are now following what they decided.
Check out the Ethiopian Bible.
does anyone have a pdf copy of the 800-page book (or reference manual?
) "jehovah's witnesses and disfellowshipping"?.

WOW! Atlantis, you are the DUDE, Dude!
there were several times when i was inside the congregation that i met up with a problem in my life and on mentioning it at a group i would be told to do my own research about it.. of course, they didn't mean for me to research worldly material for the answer but to use the wt indexes and look into the wt society magazines.. it was only when i started to do my own research outside of the wt that i began to see the limited scope of the society's magazines as all problems usually fell into the category of 1. read the bible, attend meetings, go out on the work, and pray; or 2. this isn't going to be fixed now but in the new world god will sort it out and the former things (what you are suffering from now) will not be called to mind.. i wonder how many people still in are struggling and are not being encouraged to research away from the organisation where they would receive practical and valuable advice?.
Anyone who thinks that "researching" through a stack of Watchtower publications is actual research deserves to remain stuck in the cult.
It is a BIG world; OPEN your mind to include those opinions the Watchtower would "protect" you from. Study real history, study comparative religions, consider the opinions of scientists and historians who are called "fringe" by the academic establishment.
Only you can set you free!
