What will happen when they go full cult mode
by RobertT18 inand they start delivering their message of judgment?
what do you think will happen when they start knocking on doors and telling people that their families will be killed in armageddon because they did not believed in jehovah.
i'm curious how people will react.

It will never happen because the things they are waiting for - like the UN Ending world religion - will never happen. Thus having to change their "message" wont be needed.
But they will probably ramp up the PASSIVE ministry ( standing in front of carts without talking). Just like jesus:)

Just a little anecdote illustrating how out of touch the typical JW is
by sir82 inthis weeks book study lesson was on martha, the sister of lazarus.
the chapter in the "imitate their faith" book praised her for being "industrious".. the conductor at our congregation meeting was just positively gushing about how "industrious" modern-day jw women are.. he was so exciting, he could barely get the words out.
following is not an exact quote, but conveys the gist:.

"Unique" Achievements By the WTS - Special Only Through The Ability of the World to Do The Same
by konceptual99 inbit of a long winding topic title but the thread on the dub in the bunker video made me think of what thing the wts does that are seen as basically impossible for anyone else to do and therefore evidence of holy spirit and god's blessing, yet those same things are done by the rest of the world day in, day out.. i have a few examples:.
- ability to buy a feck off big printing press and print thousand of magazines an hour.
only that every other big publishing organisation uses the same presses to do the same thing.. - ability to get inexperienced people to act using an acting coach as well as produce feature length films with reasonably high production value levels and special effects.

How about MEPS!! A sure sign from god!
It is so amazing that my 2K computer with Adobe InDesign can do the same thing.
But the big key is that the JW website is translated in sooooo many languages!
Now really who could do such a thing by god. -

JW over-rode our Choice of Funeral music
by snugglebunny ina few years on and the funeral of my jw momma still galls me.
she left instructions for which kingdom songs to be sung and we gladly abided by her wishes.
the funeral was held in a public crematorium, not a kingdom hall.

See proof that JWs don't have rules like the Pharisees.
And that loving principles are what is used by elders to shepherd the sheep.
And that LOVE is what guides all their lives.

Well to be FAIR - at least he doesn't generalize all apostates or paint them all with the same brush...
Oh wait....

You were right - my head exploded.
I guess that's because I am deviously trying to mind my own business and be left alone by all in that cult.
