i think back on the 30+ years of bs as well as my fading almost a decade and even now being low key in person to hopefully save my nieces from the wt.
i'm a wreck in some ways.
i'm other days i'm stable however when it comes to theism i depart quickly and with anger!
"The fact is not a single person did challenge my beliefs? Where were they?.. Being respectful? If that is the case I hate them!"
It's not other people's job to talk you out of your stupidity. Only you can fix stupid....and it sounds like you have, in some respects.
However you blaming other people for your/our parents and your own stupidity for buying into it.....is frankly stupid.
It's like you drinking poison and hoping someone else will die.

Well said. That is why the power of just one person standing up and calling bull shit can have a mighty effect.
david splane once again 'davesplaning' facts and figures.
10 million bible studies and 200 000 baptisms.
how many of these would be jw kids with no choice?
True the only thing making Jehovah's Witnesses now is Jehovah's Witnesses having sex with other Jehovah's Witnesses.
I won a one week trip to London. and all expenses paid.
Also $5,000 for hitting a royal flush paying Texas hold them.
amazing insights into wts doctrine and practice from a former bethelite who worked with ray franz on the aid book.. https://youtu.be/mz6mjycc7ag.
Ed was one of my Primary School teachers when I was at Bethel. A great man with integrity who could have choose to look the other way but choose to call bull shit on the great 1914 debacle along with Ray. Yes they gave up the "golden Parachute" and notoriety of being a Bethel "Heavy" to do the right thing. They knew that their lives would never be the same.
they used to say the world governments would turn on religion.
i think this part is coming true.
however they also said since jehovah’s witnesses were going to be the only religion left the governments were going to focus on the “eyeball”of jehovah, his people.
Yes they said the "love of the greater number would cool off"
Thank god they got this one right.
wow, if you have the time, watch this movie of orwell's 1984. it was made in the '50s, so its a little hokey, but wow the similarities are scary.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mj08hncica.
what are the society's rules when confronting a disfellowshipped person at a funeral service?.
are there specific rules or watchtower articles that must be followed?.
i have been to three different wakes/funerals where a disfellowshipped person attended with different results.. 1. ten years ago my first cousin passed away.
I guess I don't know because when my inactive father died my JW sister never bothered to call me to let me know of his passing. So I guess you could say I was shunned and given no opportunity to attend my own father's funeral.....
"By their you will recognize them" Boy isn't that true.
yes, the long-awaited vaccine entered my bloodstream yesterday at 5 pm.. as steve martin humorously remarked, "good news/bad news.
good news: i just got vaccinated!
bad news: i got it because i'm 75.
Good news the vaccine cures Covid... bad news the side effect is cancer.
