I was always very afraid of the Great Tribulation and of being persecuted. This thing about not giving our brother’s names….there were a couple of them I would give without a second thought along with their addresses.
Am I evil?
i always had my doubts about that but i was at least hopeful that all would work out as they said.
i saw so many "faithful ones" who were true believers expire before they got the prize, that i started to think it probably wouldn't happen in my lifetime.. what a bunch of suckers, huh?.

I agree with her the best way to deal with them is to give them their own medicine (hypocrisy).
No need to be rude, just do it with a nice smile.
because i was raised a witness, i don't think i was "uncomfortable" knocking on strangers' doors.
(weirdo).. but as i got older, i simply didn't want to bother anyone so i was at there door for no more than 30 seconds.
at the end i hated being there..
I think they are an easy scapegoat. They don’t seem to mean any harm to others.
King Solomon, what I meant is that the material universe will end up transforming into something else, even if it is in millions of years.
i listened to the august 4th episode of the healingxjws podcast where they interviewed a former jw circuit overseer.
he shared many great examples of how original meanings (especially poetry) were lost in this terrible translation.
it's worth listening to.
Sign they are very well aware of their own hypocrisy and that they don’t even believe in God. The Bible warns sternly against adding or taking anything out of it.
The material universe has an expiry date, energy doesn‘t.
In my opinion, the Bible is not a literal book, but it is not a book like any other.
Some people can not get anything out of it, though.
thats what my soon to be exhusband just said to me.
i finally after 25 years of dealing with him and the jws and a litany of other shit, told him two weeks ago i want out.
he wrote me a letter this week and made a list of allllll the things he hates: about my beliefs, the fact that i left jehovah, broke my vows to god, my hobbies, celebrations, what i watch on tv, my parenting, keeping the kids out of the jws, not having any friends....and then said well i dont hate "you".
Wuzlovesdubs, this story seems to repeat itself over and over, they must have a secret manual on how to end a marriage and still look like the innocent part.
Personally I think he may be having a very physical affair with this sister, I have seen elders doing that for years while giving very nice talks at the hall and fooling everyone.
You are dealing with an hypocrite here, act accordingly.
Enjoy the rest of your life, and give him absolutely no explanations. If he harass you in any way, call the police.
You will be much better off without him. All the best.
Might be. Whatever people choose to believe, shows what THEY are.

It is interesting the point she makes at the end, that after mentioning how bad apostate sites are, they point out to theirs. It’s almost like if they are directing people to these sites.
Scary to think, that they preach that Gog of Magog will attack Jehovah’s people when Jehovah incites him to, using a strategic move.
They are preparing the rank and file for persecution on the one hand, and on the other they seem to be provoking it. Maybe they believe they are Jehovah himself.
Just a thought.
i have a friend who met with a couple of elders recently and i was told things went well, no issues.
well a couple weeks later they stopped by my friends place, ( just to say hi ) right before they left they said, " hey can we meet again?
my friend said, " sure ".
I want this mafia out of my life, I only signed for a Bible study, was baptized as a minor, and from them on, was lied to every single day at every single meeting. I am totally disgusted by them, and everything they stand for, and they have absolutely no right to persecute me or anyone, I am a free citizen and it should be illegal that they bother me in any way with their intolerant and fanatic policies.
I want nothing to do with them for the rest of my life, and my not going to their meetings should be a clear enough sign.
Three elders or one elder, all the same to me, I want these ass****s out of my life once and for all.
Tell your friend to ignore them completely and if they keep harassing him to involve the authorities.
