See here the issue is - same as all religions - everything is based on a very bad fairytale that's a couple thousand years old.
Better off living your life based on the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

hello forum.
my aunt, flyinghighnow, has passed away.
i don't know if you remember her, but she was a long time member.
Very sad to hear it, so sorry.
I have not words, nor do I know how to handle the death of my loved ones anymore.
this article has all the trappings of wts apocalyptic theology, doom and destruction for "the world" salvation into paradise for the faithful .a schedule of future events is described thus :.
1) a worldwide proclamation of peace and security.
2) the destruction of "babylon the great"......it confidently names the characters from this visionary biblical reference, without any supporting reasons.. 3)the nations will then , as gog of magog , attack the wts and the members .
By the way - wouldn't that really be great it the Nations - on their own - without the help of an evil god who seems to only like to KILL people - achieved World Peace?
Nope - thats gods signal to show that - see they cant do it without me - so I must now HORRIBLE and Viciously murder 7.5 Billion people so as to have peace and security on earth.
I cant believe I fucking believe this shit for my whole live:(
when i was 5/6 i remember being in the car with my jw mom and a jw sister.
they noticed a yellow ish glowing cloud in the sky which really freaked them out and they both declared that it must be a sign that armageddon was here!
they then spent the whole car trip declaring that the police and army were about to come and round up all of us.
The 80s with potential nuke war.
The 1st gulf war.

we may well deliver a message as hard-hitting as hailstones
Is that the message people will be getting at the CARTS parked in Malls, Boardwalks, National Parks, and Street Corners?
Will it be hard Hitting Posters on top of the literature shelf saying "the end is near" or "Is it later than you think"?
Is eliminating the "school" and anything that might resemble teaching people to speak on their own and not just show a video the way the will be giving this message?
Or does this mean, handing out tracts?
Will we use the same methods we have used for over a hundred years to accomplish our ministry?
Yes I remember Jesus standing outside the synagogue at a table with his scrolls waiting for someone to come up and ask a question.
WHAT UTTER BS.
she certainly is passionate about climate change.
🤔.
Tell you all you need to know about the odious man in orange that he would attack a child who is just speaking out about a completely obvious existential threat to our civilization.
at one assembly(tm), i was asked to relate an 'experience(tm)' which i did.
however, during rehearsals, the geezer in charge elder or co or some such title, told me that i shouldn't tell it the way it was.
i did a 're-enactment(tm)' with another 'brother(tm)'.
Muddy Waters -
My spiritual “high” of being “invited” to be on an assembly part
That is part of the strategy in general.
I knew the WT was a cult, and that the bible is crap, but I was giving the top DC talks, elders school talks, the Memorials, Funeral, yada yada yada.
Being a great motivational speaker (though I completely morphed my talks to be about love as much as possible), kept me in longer than I should have been.
It's like Crack, you get hooked, and kept in line to do what ever the WT asks.

OMG!!!!!
How many times did we hear "a friend of a friend" has this occasion happen to them where a JW woman called on a rapists door but he left her alone because he (allegedly) saw "two big men standing with her" who were "obviously" angels?
MY FATHERINLAW ELDER told this OVER AND OVER!
I would ask him - so how did the sisters find out he was a Rapist?
And did the Rapist tell the Police - oh there were these 2 women at my door but I DID NOT Rape them cuz there were 2 men next to them?
Did the Rapist confess to OTHER things he NEVER DID?
"Oh officer one day I went to the bank and I did not Rob it because the money was in a safe"
SO FUCKING INSANE!!!!

How about how Johnny Carson had John Denver on who said something bad about JWs and then Carson said you dont like JWs - well my camera man is one, and this guy is one and this guy is one, and told Denver to leave.
What do you expect I guess when you grow up believing in a bad fairytale and the power of the GB.
