An interesting comparison between jehovah of armies and worldly nations such as the USA and the UK would be to consider how these parties have sought regime change. The latter while not conducting themselves perfectly by any means intended to limit civilian casualties when overthrowing the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Iraq dictator Sadam Hussain- attacking the military and military installations. The God of love Jehovah however decided that the best way to overthrow the Egyptian dictator pharaoh was to launch attacks directly aimed at the Egyptian people, even murdering babies in the 10th horrific plague-such a brave God. Yep you heard it here first folks, Jehovah hates violence...

New "Annointed" Brother In My Old Hall...
by pale.emperor ini've only just stopped laughing.. in my old hall there's a brother who's now claiming to be of the anointed.. he's 28.. i do wonder if he's doing this for attention, if he's awake and messing with them, or if he really is that deluded.
when i was in he was an ms. which surprised even me because only a year earlier than that he was "a bit of a lad", is rubbish at talks and relies on his elder uncle to get him out of trouble all the time.. i guess this now means he's get his pick of jw sisters.
he's been after the same one as the rest of his peers since 2014..

I doubt he'll have his pick of sisters after this revelation. The washtowel has already begun its response to the massive rise in anointed ones. Many are 'mistaken' others have 'mental issues'. It was highlighted in this thread-

For the UK folks - "Former professional boxer Dennis Harbon, 68, took own life, inquest told"
by ShirleyW ini get the google alerts for the dubs - an article from telegraph & argus features the story in the title, i'm not techy enough to know how to attach it here, but his wife id'd him a jw, then it says he was a window washer, so no doubt that he was def a dub, he's from mayfield place in wyke.
he was acting irratic jumping in and out of traffic and such.
is this a big story in whatever part of the uk this was taking place in?.

Hello Caballo, nice to hear from somebody that goes so far back on this forum. i'm delighted your kids have done so well! It's nice that the next generation don't have to suffer the consequences of jwism- family breakdown, lack of education, missed career opportunities, time wasted. Well done on stopping the rot and bearing the rich fruitage that comes with leaving a destructive group like this one!

Do you feel comfortable being an apostate?
by Chook ini always found it uncomfortable to informal witness to people but trying to convince a jw to jump ship brings much more pleasure..

When I first left and came on this site I felt disturbed to be referred to as 'a fellow apostate', this was obviously due to Washtowel conditioning. Now tbh it's like a badge of honour.

A Short Life Story - Part 4 (Finale)
by pale.emperor ina continuation from part 3, which is here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4807117397557248/short-life-story-part-3#!#4918071166763008.
my wife had settled into a routine of waking up at 6am each day, cleaning (so no chance of a lie in for me or our daughter with the vacuum cleaner going), eating very little, picking the skin off her lips while she sits there in a trance obsessing over things that are out of our control and dont matter anyway.
she never did return to work.

Quite a story PE! Wasn't it Churchill whom said 'when you're going through hell...just keep going'. Looks like that's exactly what you did, I'm glad you are truly 'living' now.

Your doing well kiddo! Never forget you're playing a long term game. Avoid confrountation. As long as you keep using your critical thinking skills and just try to think about other things to ignor the indoctrination at meetings. Remember one reason meetings are so long and boring and repetitive is so that people become too mentally tired to question what's being said!

"Even if this wasn't the truth, I would still stay. This is the best life to live..."
by HereIgo ini was recently told this by a jw family member when trying to get through to them.
does this quote indicate that maybe such ones have considered that the jw's may not have the truth after all?
or is that just my wishful thinking?

This statement is made by those who don't know the real world. It isn't too dissimilar to the thought stopping phrase 'where else is there to go?'. Witnesses have been indoctrinated to believe that the world is a dark, dangerous place. Behavioural control by the Borg has caused witnesses to feel uncomfortable among non members. Hence we get ignorant statements like these.

Who can guess the number closest to memorial partakers ?
by Chook inmy punt 16144 , do you like my last three numbers !.
-
-
John Free
The number would average 72 per year but in fairness a delusional anointed person lives longer than age 1. since an anointed person lives on average until say 60-65 remembering that health care has increased life spans only in the last 100-150 years and since JWism teaches only adults can be anointed the number should be 72 x 40 = 2280 who would be alive on average in any given year. (This is a very rough calculation)
I also doubt the Borg will allow this embarrassment to continue much longer. My prediction is that new light will cause the Borg to adjust the way numbers are to be counted.

What a delightful daughter Pale Emp!
How sad that WT indoctrination has turned our relatives into cruel and toxic personalities. By their fruits...
Well done on making decisions that will help give your daughter a happier life.
