If that really is a private message between Dijana and LE it has nothing to do with my issues with him other than showing the utter human tragedy of it all.

I wouldn't share it and I wonder how it came into circulation.

Wrong Religion

by Vanderhoven7 in

we brainstormed a while back on this forum and pooled our knowledge on how to recognize false religion.

i think the list is worth reviewing and adding to if possible.

please feel free to correct and or add insights of your own to this list:.

So much for 'iron sharpening iron'. It's a shame.

You know you're in the wrong religion when you're in a religion.

Seriously though Vanderhoven, if you're up for a respectful discussion I'm all for it.

You're confusing him with a writer.

It's tiring just following this endless stream of events, imagine being at the centre of it all. How does he even get up in the morning?

The useless, time wasting, energy sapping futility of it all. How can he sip his coffee and think; "yep, this is the life I want".

Chasing down every perceived slight or criticism (99% deserved). Fabricating illusions of a 'legal team', building lone warrior fantasies about taking on the might of a religious cult. What kind of Messiah complex accounts for all of this?

It will all be over one day and I genuinely hope he survives it all and finds some peace.

He really needs to be gone though, he's generating heat, not light. He's crowded out and shouted down so many individuals who would otherwise be providing their own unique voices to help enquiring JW's.

We used to grease each others wheels, we still do to an extent. Evans only adds friction to the community, he never helps out anyone unless it helps him more.

For the sake of your sanity Lloyd, for the sake of your daughters and your long suffering wife, just call it a day.

It'll be the best decision you ever made.

Anyone else remember the Awake saying this?

by BottanicPepper in

i may have put this in the wrong thread.

if so, i'm sorry.. my conundrum is this.... i am almost completely certain that an awake back in the 80's/90's mentioned a group of rock bands we shouldn't listen to and i seem to remember them actually naming guns and roses.. i can't find anything now, and i'm wondering if it's the mandela effect, or if it's another case of the cdrom versions of the awakes being doctored again.. does anyone else remember this?

or am i crazy?

Heavy Metal, before that it was Disco and before that it was Punk Rock.

What a joyless bunch they are. Can you imagine what everlasting 'paradise' would be like with them?

Will the ministry ever resume?

by optimisticskeptic in

jw
friends

going on 2+ years of no public ministry.

can't imagine anyone is really enjoying letter writing still or that it's remotely effective.

i'm a little shocked that we haven't resumed yet but i guess that's what happens when the org is run by a bunch of old people (ie high risk for covid) and a bunch of other sheltered germaphobes.

My mother-in-law is buying sheets of stamps 200 at a time plus envelopes and writing paper every month.

She's an 83 year old pensioner. Some charity this is.
