The WT has only been sorry that others doubt their supremacy. They are sincerely and truly sorry for that. Out of humility and respect for others, they typically don't express these feelings of sympathy openly. But those close to the GB have admitted as much.
This level of delusion can't be fixed.

Sincerity
by Sea Breeze inchristians ask jw's, is sincerity enough to save a person from the murderous reign of the anti-christ during the great tribulation?.
all kidding aside; why do jw's seem to always point out their sincerity when their lies are exposed?
they seem awfully proud of their sincereity.

carla, you are exactly right. I have heard over the years stuff like:
1. Jehovah judges us based on our
* intent
* conscience
* sincerity
* motive
Never even a hint that God judges us based on the ten commandments.
Your statement about failed prophecies is spot on as well too. One prominent JW flat out told me that 1975 the failed prediction showed alertness (motive) even if they got it wrong. Why it never occurred to him (or me at that time) that the OT punishment for speaking in the name of God with a false prophecy was death, is quite odd looking back.
Oh well, at least he was sincere, sincerely wrong.

What would happen if the religion just straight out gets outed as bad? The ORG admits to it and all the members get told to disperse

He believes the religion WANTS people to leave. He thinks they want them out of the halls so they can sell them. He even thinks keeping people home during Covid longer was to break the habit of people going to the halls.
Makes sense. They really are not attracting new converts. The internet has destroyed their doctrine. Interesting thought.

For some reason the Mayo Clinic has this to say about gay men:
Gay men and other men who have sex with men may be at an increased risk of depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety.
Gay men are more likely to deal with alcohol use disorder than are other people.
... research has shown that gay men and other men who have sex with men experience intimate partner violence at a higher rate than do other men.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is available to men up to age 26. HPV is associated with anal cancer in men who have sex with men.
And the National Institutes of Health said this about gay men. :
Twenty-one percent had made a suicide plan; 12% had attempted suicide (almost half of those 12% were multiple attempters). Most who attempted suicide made their first attempt before age 25. -

Don't know why he felt the need to talk about his personal issues when describing JW parents shunning. Hell, I got abandoned at age 14 for doing nothing more that trying to stay sane, while not being allowed to:
1. Play sports
2. Draw mazes for the school newspaper
3. Do anything other than stare at the walls until it was time to go to the meeting.
4. Have a girlfriend from school
5. Go to a school football game, dance, prom, etc.
Of course, it didn't help my parents cause that my teen years were directly after 1975, the biggest pile of dukey that the WT laid on kids. We were pissed that everyone just acted like a bunch of robots like nothing of any significance had occurred.
BTW, Is this thread about Homos or JW parents shunning?

I had a friend of mine that was a very solid family man, wife two kids. Yes, they were JW's but of the rare down to earth kind. Anyway, he swears that as teenagers, that him and a couple friends saw Bigfoot one day on a riverbank while they were up in a tree, out around Uvalde Texas on the Frio river.
It is a mystery why Bigfoot stories always seem to pop up in UFO conversations. But, I have a theory:

I believe that when Christians go up at the rapture, they come down. I think they will push some B.S. story about how they are our space daddies. The atheists and elites will lap it up.
Richard Dawkins:
"It’s safe to assume, says Dawkins, that if we ever have contact with extraterrestrial life from outside our solar system, it will be intelligent. That’s because of the huge distances between Earth and other planets. But beyond that, this may be the only thing we have in common with aliens....Alien beings may be nothing like us – so if and when we meet, it’ll also transform our understanding of ourselves and the Universe we live in".
Compare the words of Atheist Richard Dawkins with God's Word:
And then shall that wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming— even him, whose coming is according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all the deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. - 2 Thess.
Believers already know how the Alien thingy will play out.

She said that such persons were lucky that all they got was disfellowshipped and not executed.
When I hear accounts like this, I am very grateful that I made it out with my life and was able at age 40 to start over and produce two sons to carry on my name.
We were in a death cult. I beat the odds. Many others did not. May the Lord have mercy on those who paid the ultimate price.
