  How does he even get up on the platform and give talks? Knowing that, accord to his own beliefs, he's smoke at Armageddon. Unless he doesn't really believe it and is just carrying on being a JW because it's all he knows.

  “There’s nothing out there in the world for you...”

  how would you guys react if or when you were told this phrase by a jw while having a conversation?

  another phrase is “this world...” or “this system, like gum will chew you up and when it’s done with you, spit you right back out.”.

  one i’ve been personally told was from a convert that had told me “whenever i speak to young ones that want to know if the grass is greener on the other side, i tell them i was a part of it.

  That's the only text messages i get from my former family...

  "I hope you'll see that the world has nothing to offer you"

  or

  "I hope you get yourself sorted and return to Jehovah"

  but my all time favorite has to be:

  "we as a family are suffering because you've left Jehovah!"

  a few things about this video:.

  it's very nice that they managed to host a convention for the russian brothers and sisters, and that they all got fed.

  smirk when he says "maybe not a coincidence" (wink):

  This really does make me shake my head and roll my eyes. Only today i read about a poor 4yo boy that was killed in an accident while on holiday with his family. There's JWs IN PRISON in South Korea. And JWs in Russia being targeted by Putins regime. Meanwhile, Jehovah is sorting 18 plane tickets. He doesn't even get them to the USA. Just out of Moscow. Even i could have done a better job than that.

  Sinking ship!

  Very few converts, lukewarm members, and the old members dying off. Yes, it wont be long before this it fizzles out or becomes a very minority religion like the Christadelphians.

  When You Were A JW Did You Ever Stand For The National Anthem?

  by minimus in

  as a witness i always found a way to not have to embarrass myself by sitting down for the national anthem.. i’m curious.

  how many of you stood up for the patriotic song?.

  Here in the UK i've only ever been asked to stand/sing the national anthem once in my whole life. When i was at a civil service work thing and the mayor attended. I stood but didnt sing.

  I always find it very strange that Americans have an obsession with their flag and their anthem. If you were to fly the British flag outside your house over here people would assume you're a racist or a crazy nationalist.

  Jehovah has this strange penchant for doing mundane things and still receiving praise.

  His wondrous works include:

  A woman dying on her way to a Warwick build, but then Jehovah intervening to make sure it was completed in time.

  An entire religion being banned in the worlds largest country, but then Jehovah intervening to make sure his 18 Americans fly out before things get difficult for them.

  A tsunami kills thousands of people, but Jehovah made sure enough sand was washed up on shore for the brothers to complete a build.

  A pioneer couple in my last congregation lost their parents in a coach crash. But the insurance money paid for a new kitchen make over.

  Hallelujah!

  A few things about this video:

  It's very nice that they managed to host a convention for the Russian brothers and sisters, and that they all got fed. But lets be honest now, there are many religions and even atheist organizations that can, and do, feed their visiting members on a large scale and host conventions.

  Mark Sanderson tells us that when the appeal at the Supreme Court was negative that they had to leave Russia immediately... but they had no tickets. He tells the committee members to just drive to the airport and on the way he's in contact with the travel desk at Watchtower. Well, whattayaknow... the travel desk managed to get 18 tickets for all of them to leave on the same plane. Praise Jehovah!... oh, but in reality... how hard can it be for some schmuck with access to the internet and a credit card to book a plane ticket? It's hardly a miracle now is it? Why, you can even turn up to an airport without a ticket and just buy one at the desk. Sure, it'll be more expensive but when you're a GB member whats a couple of grand? As long as Mark Sanderson can fly out of Moscow first class with a martini and a steak meal.
  

  Mark even says "we felt as if we'd been picked up be Jehovah and safely carried out of Russia." WTF?!! So he gets you out of Russia but he couldnt make a supreme court judge overturn the ban of your own people? And what about the Russian witnesses that are still there?

  Does this even make sense???
