I went down in the first Round!
by John Aquila inthere is a visitor brother in town and from what ive been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him.
i took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes.
i heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving jehovahs organization.

JW's abandoning their faith probably gave 80% of them a hard on to jump at the chance to prove their "faith"
How do you jump with a hard on? (With lots of faith)

He came out with it so quickly, makes me wonder if this is what the society is actually planning for?
Well now that you mentioned it. That would be a smart way to explain a huge exodus if that was to happen. And the Jdubs would eat it like cake. -

I don’t believe they have a financial problem. They have billions not millions and a large volunteer army who would fall on a grenade for the organization.
I wouldn’t even be surprised if the GB are just as much in the dark as the dubs, perhaps just one step above in what’s actually happening.
These guys are shrewd. They haven’t stayed in business over 100 years selling invisible crap because they were dumb. They know how to play the game of deception and they play it well. They wave their hand in front of your face and while your attention is on their hand, they kick you in the balls.
We will find out as time goes on.

i bet that lot would have stoned you to death if they could have got away with it.
Yep, but that's why I do it, because I know they can't stone me to death without facing the consequences of modern law.

Wouldn't it have great to be able to ask if all those at the table could be assumed to be among the 7,000,
Ha Ha,
It was just that one brother that had a response, the rest were dumbfounded when I asked the question. I wonder what would have happened if that brother/missionary was not there? He was a die-hard no doubt. "Evidently" he has been asked the question before and was now prepared.

There is a visitor brother in town and from what I’ve been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him. I took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes. I heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving Jehovah’s organization. Ever one was nodding yes and agreeing.
I couldn’t resist and I had to step in and try to ask a question to get them to think. I asked;
What if all the witnesses just started leaving the organization by the hundreds of thousands until the entire organization only had ONE MILLION member worldwide.
They all looked at me with their “eyes wide shut”
The visitor-missionary brother asks for a Bible and he opens it up and reads this to everyone;
(1 Kings 19:14) . . .To this he said: “I have been absolutely jealous for Jehovah the God of armies; for the sons of Israel have left your covenant, your altars they have torn down, and your prophets they have killed with the sword, so that I only am left; and they begin looking for my soul to take it away.”
(1 Kings 19:18) . . .And I have let seven thousand remain in Israel, all the knees that have not bent down to Ba′al, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
The visitor brother then says to everyone;
“It doesn’t matter how many leave the organization, there will always be
“SOME”
“Faithful Followers” who will stick with Jehovah’s Organization”
“Am I right?”
And everyone started clapping and yelling all kinds of stuff.I thought it was an ISIS rally!
I lost that round!!!!

In the long ago past, the "apostates" appeared they were looking for trouble. Now, we don't even have to try.
Ha Ha, you have no idea.
Just a few day ago I got into a heated discussion with an elder and when he couldn’t hold his own, he resorts to telling me- that I’ve been visiting apostate sites. I told him;
“No one has to look at any apostate sites. All they have to do is see one of the Governing Body members rant on TV about a Conspiracy that homosexual are planning to put every man on the planet in “Tight Pants”
If you can’t see how crazy and stupid that is……”
He had nothing to say after that.

I thought I was awake but I had to go back and go through this and realize I was wrong about one major thing. The witness religion is harmful! Extremely! I had lost my faith and still not realized this.
It’s a process waking up, but it’s also a process realizing that the Witness religion is extremely harmful. It may actually take a while to realize this.
This because the religion itself is sugar-coated with some positive things. Many times the Dubs will defend their religion by saying that they are the only ones who stay away from fornication, adultery, stealing, lying, etc. But the fact is, they are just as guilty especially the Governing Body of those things just like every one else in every religion. They are just very good at hiding it and putting on a show of disfellowshipping those who practice such things. But we know that disfellowshipping is used not to remove practicers of sin but to put a showy display to the world that they are clean and to use it as a means to instill fear in their members.
They are guilty of murder and causing much harm with their policies of blood, organ transplants, vaccinations, neutrality, marrying, and tons of other harmful policies.
