Kingdom Hall in Barrington, Illinois
by Expanded-Mind ini often drive past a kingdom hall in barrington, illinois, where, when i was still a witness, i had visited a few times.
it wasn't too far from the hall i attended and we got to know people from this congregation.. i recently passed it by and it appeared there was a new sign in place.
yesterday i decided to pull into the parking lot on my way home, and it appears that the hall has been sold and is now occupied by seventh day adventists (i did a check online when i got home).

We cannot take a swim in a YMCA pool. Nor buy a school raffle ticket to help fund PE equipment for our kids school. Nor offer to help run the soup kitchen for the homeless in the basement of a disused church (or go to a gig in the church basement!)
But we can sell dedicated Kingdom Halls, built to Jehovah's glory, to one of Satan's churches.
This is what many don't understand. There is a difference between buying a 25 cents political card and JOINING THE UNITED NATIONS.
You can join the United Nations if you need a "Library Card"
But a 25 cents political cards is joining Satan's organization.

as far as JW indoctrination goes, they had a good point of not getting involved in the politics of the world. I had never had anxiety or issues of any kind when I could care less about who was in office. Now, I sometimes worry about what idiots in power will do next to hurt the population.
You know, that's one thing the Jehovah's Witnesses have over the exjws. True, they are enslaved to 8 old idiots who have no idea what is going on in real life, BUT, the indoctrination that the members who are true believers have - allow them not to have the anxiety that the rest of the people do. Only because they TRULY BELIEVE that God's Kingdom is very close and it will solve all of the problems - political, environmental, social justice, and so on.
So why get involved in anything besides preaching.
When they die, they have this calm in themselves because they believe that in a matter of a few moments they will be resurrected into a better world.
For Catholics and other sects of Christianity, they believe HEAVEN is the answer.
That's the POWER OF RELIGION
Even though we know they will all go back to the dust like the BILLIONS of humans that have lived on earth before us.And you can add the dinosaurs to that.

Anything is possible these days. But I rather have someone who is STRONGER than Trump. Trump called out the news media and the High Tech companies. But that was it. He went no farther.
We need a President that GOES AFTER THE High Tech Companies and takes away their power. We need a President that goes after the Professors and teachers that teach their Marxist and Woke crap and fires them from State and Federal funded Schools and Universities. We need a President that puts a stop to transgender men competing in girl's sports.
We need a President that sees the importance of having a Border under Control
The polls have Desantis slowly beating trump for future President

Strong female characters in film before the 'Woke Era'
by LoveUniHateExams insince about 2015, hollywood has congratulated itself and circle-jerked over the 'strong women' characters they've written.
i'd say this roughly began with rey in the force awakens (2015).
what hollywood forgets is that strong characters have to have a personality, otherwise audiences don't really relate to them.. well, hollywood should really stop patting themselves on the back as if they've done something special.. strong female characters have been a staple for decades.. here's one: private vasquez, from aliens (1986).

The exjw reddit is mostly for young kids exiting the WT so this site is for the pre-internet days when no one knew who the Governing Body was.
If you were born into the WT cult, chances are you would be stuck there for the next 30 -40 years because there was very little information about the Religion and the Bible.
What I find interesting is the JW stuff that nobody talks about today like;
in the last days the world will get so bad they will be “Streaming to the mountain of Jehovah looking for the good news” - Rather than streaming out as they are now
If we have to start asking for donations we have lost Jehovah’s spirit
The end will definitely be here before the end of the century, the 1914 Gen will be almost gone by then.
SOME COMMENTS BY POSTERS THAT SHOW HOW MEETING A GIRL OR BOY WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN TODAY
Remember going to a different assembly because you liked that girl or guy. Then all going out together?
I got my license at 16, could drive fully by myself. No cell phones back then, mom and dad had no idea exactly where I was and couldn't call me. It was so embarrassing calling that girl or guy as we only had one phone in the house, in the most common area in the house too.
Haha,well I gotta say I was super awkward, but it was still fun. Meeting up with my girlfriends from different halls, all of us chitchatting about our crushes, stalking our crushes, ...the young JWs don't have that these days. Those silly all-video conventions are absolutely nothing compared to the old school conventions, with the danishes and Shasta pop and live dramas and circular shaped convention halls to troll in. They were actually fun. So culty, but so anticipated, every year.
Ha. That’s the best reason to be a attendant, to find all the chicks……and to not sit down and listen to all the BS !
Conventions were always at least 4 days long and the only thing I looked forward to about them were the apple danishes for breakfast and hoagie sandwiches for lunch that we would pay for with our strip of blue coupons.
Life in the 80s as a witness was torture because of the beatings for bad behavior that were the norm amongst witness kids and because every second of every day was a reminder about Armageddon which resulted in vivid nightmares of Satan falling to earth (as depicted in the live forever book) to kill me.
Yet I miss that more simple time before all the technology chaos. Sitcoms were actually good to watch, the music was great, neon was everywhere and the bangs were always teased high!

Go Bag and Catastrophes
by StephaneLaliberte ini live with my parents in law and yesterday, my mother in-law was very nervous about an email she got from the brothers in her congregation.
it was asking if she would be able to receive people over at our house should there be a catastrophe.
so, she asked me if i would agree with this.

If shit hit the fan, wouldn't it be wiser and safer to stay locked up at home with a refrigerator full of food instead of running outside with a bag small enough to carry just a few items??
The bag might last a day or two, maybe a little bit more if you have enough can food.
Staying at home you might have enough T-Bone steaks to last a month.
The GB is really stupid.
