There were and are a lot of nasty people in this organization. Is sharing the earth for eternity with them paradise?

Remember how it felt before you woke up. Living forever in a Righteous World.
by pistolpete ini woke up early in life.
it’s not because i was smarter than my brothers and sisters.
in fact, reflecting back, i actually don’t know why i didn’t embrace the watchtower teachings?

It is a true kindness to help those who hate you. Much like the Good Samaritan in Jesus teachings. This is true Christianity in action.
The villain is not our parents that have written us off as bird food. The true villain is the watchtower that CONvinced our folks they would never grow old thus never need to plan for old age, and shun their adult children who they would need later in life.
An older couple in our congregation who all of their children were disfellowshipped had no place to go. The congregation bought them a one way ticket to her worldly sister out west to take care of them. Sad. -

Request--When The Watchtower Was In Business With The Klu Klux Klan!
by Atlantis into the person who requested the files and documents on the watchtower doing business with the klu klux klan, i will need to send you that in a file folder.
it would be easier if i could send everything to your email.. bottom line was, the canadian branch of the watchtower had a radio station in canada named "chuc" in the 1920's.. i am giving jeff and alan credit on this.
they did a wonderful video about it.

The timeline makes sense. The KKK was big in Saskatchewan in the 1920’s. Their target were Eastern European immigrants. Bohunks they would call them. I know a few personally that had anglicized their last names to be able to get jobs in the city.
As far as a Rutherford era radio station selling them air time. I wouldn’t doubt that it is true, Jws are good at whitewashing the truth. I’ve also personally met the guy that ran the radio station. George Naish I think his name is. He was kinda a folk hero in the Saskatoon area. He would visit our congregation from time to time and give talks. I’m not sure if he was in bethel or?

When joe is retired off due to being mentally unfit, president Harris’s running mate for 2024 will be a transgender indigenous person. Can’t call it a he or a she, that’s politically incorrect.
The power behind the throne want a woman of colour to be president. That’s why they picked joe.

Spiritually Weak Ones Are Bad Association according to the Governing Body
by RULES & REGULATIONS inafter you read the words of jesus in mark 2: 17, you will see that the contrast between the teachings of jesus and the governing body.. .
you clearly read what's written in the bible, but the society is always twisting and bending scriptures to their benefit.
here is stephen lett talking about ''spiritually weak'' members and twisting jesus's words teaching on sinners:.

It’s all about image. You have to make a good appearance of spirituality, be visible in the ministry to be spiritually strong. You can still be a total asshole but as long as you are checking the correct boxes you can be part of the club.

Thoughts on JW funerals
by Syme ini recently had the sad opportunity to attend 2 jw funerals.
the first was a few months ago and the second today.
the first was my grandfather's and the second of an old friend back from my jw days.

It’s a jw infomercial. I was at one where the deceased had lots of inactive jw relatives. The a hole that was giving the funeral talk used the opportunity to try and guilt them to start attending again.

If The Jehovah's Witnesses Stole Your Past...Don't Let Them Steal Your Future!
by The Bethelite inyes, many here have lost many years of life due to being infected by this cult like religion.
for many it is very hard to let go of that life and those wasted years.. of course people need time to heal and this web site is a great place to do that, swap war stories and commiserate.. i was in for over 50 years.
so of course it will be with me for the rest of my life.

It’s hard to move on from any kind of abusive relationship. I was a jw victim just like most who have joined this forum. The only way I was able to come to terms with it was to focus on the positives and the lessons I learned from being a jw. The fact that I was finally able to wake up from the nightmare is a great accomplishment that needs to be celebrated.
I think leaving any abusive relationship is a grieving process. We had so much invested but lost so much. A person has to come to terms or it will eat them up inside and out.

I think this “provision” was in place before the plandemic. It still has bricks and mortar in the business plan. To go full online they don’t need any kingdom halls

I’m with Stan livedeath on this one. I think my family had it last year. I know lots of people in my circle who had the symptoms in November 2019. What the mainstream media tells us doesn’t make sense.
I think the reaction of government is a control thing. Never let a good crisis go to waste.
