I at times brought up a question from 30 Years A Watchtower Slave, which no JW has ever given an honest answer to me . It started out with a statement first: You agree that it was one of satan,s lies that people are conscious after death and are tormented. Then why did Jesus knowing that it was satan,s lie, use this lie in the rich man and Lazarus parable without ever explaining it to his desciples?

Sunday January 15 is my 76th birthday. I answer some of your questions.
by Terry inhappy birthday 2 me!!.
sunday is my 76th birthday and i know that you want to know how it "feels" to have outlived my usefulness, to have lost my natural beauty (being reduced to wrinkles and flab), and constantly walking into a room not knowing why i'm there.
you also are curious as to how i can continue to find a reason to live since none of my kids think my opinions have any possible value, most of my facebooks friends i wouldn't recognize if i tripped over them on my way into starbucks, and my monthly expenditure on bird treats exceeds u.s. spending on the military.

Happy birthday! Now find a 1957 movie “Untamed Youth” with Mamie Van Horn and notice that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Saw this on TCM recently, which reminded me of “Heritage” the Watchtower put out in the 60’s.

They are slowly getting in line with what Protestants have been doing since Martin Luther, volunteering from what you can do out of love, not obligation. The F O G is slowly lifting.

When the typical Uber JW heard on the News that Musk is revealing the truth on Twitter, they comment, “When did Musk become a witness?”

Lost me when using “exercise faith” for believe, not in the Greek as such , and “to the stake for him” substituted for “crucify him”. So silly and obviously slanted view

Why are so many Jehovah’s Witnesses Angry and Rude?
by Vanderhoven7 inwhy do you think many jws are hostile and rude?
or is that just my imagination?.
mark jones writes: the vast majority of jehovah’s witnesses are nice people.

My thoughts are that their leadership has taken GRACE out of their bible and replaced it with Undeserved Kindmess, and this alone perverts their attitude toward forgiveness. When they hear the word GRACE from outsiders , their faulty internal radar goes off and their hope is to start a BS session to change the meaning of this word in the mind of this outsider.

Just recall the lucky video captured by a voyer,of Morris spending hundreds of his fooled followers hard earned money on Jameson Irish whiskey for his selfish consumption. Wonder if he was admonished for this , or just warned to be more careful and have a trusted bethelite do it.

Jehovah's Witnesses - Where is Your Money Going?
by Sea Breeze inafter discouraging and in many instances prohibiting jw's from getting an education, like in computer graphics, film-making and design, the wt is employing these kinds of professionals and throwing vast sums of money at their new film-making adventures doubtless from all the properties they confiscated, sold that the local members paid for.
kim and mikey talk about this primarily starting at 13:15https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqafxmsjirk&ab_channel=kimmikey .

Wonder if the watchtower will participate in the Meta universe. With zoom they have got most of their followers up to par in immersing into the digital age. All that’s left is to create virtual field circus activities, along with the 2 weekly boasting sessions. Just imagine the surprise of mark Zuckerberg when he sees virtual carts all over his created meta verse.
