“That's rich. Your OP is an apology for your own CD”
Cofty you obviously don’t understand what PIMA stands for. Agnostic can not by any definition suffer from cognitive dissonance because we will not commit

“Negative -- miserable until epiphany of the con game and couldn't get out of Dodge fast enough but I was half way out the door/never gave up social life. I did receive calls (kind, good, men, for the most part only one bad apple and he got message real fast!) but I leveled plain and clear and living on private, live-security, property, helps -- they didn't have to waste time/call easier. They knew legally -- everyone has legal right to stand up to them (WT/clergy class just doing their job) and many have.”
LV101 what do you believe now? Do you think you have found the truth? Does your belief now have any hope for the future or just bleak as it’s all chance no purpose to anything?
Its not as simple as red pill blue pill. Many are deceived into thinking they are taking the red pill truth when it’s just another blue pill.
Perhaps there is no red pill.
Everything is a blue pill and everyone is being misled. In this case why not take the blue pill and live your life the best you can and keep a bit of hope that the what the Bible promises about the future may have a bit of truth to it, even though there is almost certainly a lot more to it than we understand

Cofty this intrigues me -
“ The origin of life is neither chance nor ID. That is a false dichotomy. Also abiogenesis is not the same thing as evolution.”
Could you please explain in as simple a way as possible if it was not chance then you do not believe in the evolution theory? Did you know that abiogenesis comes under chance as the origin of life. But you definitely do not believe in intelligent design either? This does not make any sense??????
The fact that you are so sure you have the truth leads me to believe you are suffering from cognitive dissidence

So unless there has been a big change, old age or illness/infirmary are not reasons to be taken off gov body. Otherwise Herd and Loach will be soon taken off as well as both are older than tomo3.
If they really are chosen to be kings and priests along with Jesus would they really suffer the indignity of old age senile dementia and having careers wipe their bum etc?
anyway one thing we do know is a prayer to please help the remaining Morris family members still in the Bethel family at this difficult time or something like that. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
this Wouldn’t have happened if he was just taken off for old age.
but I’m sure they would like people to just assume he was taken for old age, but then why not Herd and Loach? And over the next decade or so the other members will be getting rather long in tooth as well, will they be taken off? If not then it will shine a light on why TOMO3 was taken off

“I'm surprised to hear that you would prefer that the masses remain ignorant about the effects of the vaccines. Many are, presumably, still taking boosters or encouraging others to vaccinate. That would, in your estimation, cause more harm, wouldn't it? Wouldn't remaining ignorant be a greater danger to everyone in the long run?”
Tonus the same as a JW on their deathbed I was meaning someone who has had multiple injections I don’t see the point in telling them they have damaged their health. Just out of kindness they would be better off believing the shots were safe. Ignorance is better than the truth if you can’t do anything about.
Their is a good YouTube channel called the truth hurts. It’s a very profound thing to say. Yes the truth hurts

RB I really like what you say here “Do I believe in God?? Yes, I think this is a reasonable conclusion however he may not be at all who or what we think he is.”
Yes I’m thinking on the same lines as you. There is probably a lot more to it than we humans can understand 👍

“So personally I am happier and more content since leaving. I don’t know the answers to mankind’s greatest problems but I’m not going to worry over it.”
Blues brother personally I am happier and more content since I realised that I need to become content in not knowing the truth. I don’t know the answers to mankind’s greatest problems but I’m not going to worry over it. And I like to hold onto a bit of hope that maybe just maybe the Bibles promises may come true 😀

You are wrong about official doctrine about sitting on the fence and being able to jump one side at the last minute.
Last years drama one of the prison guards in the great tribulation just jumped in last min.
about the vaccines yes billions of people have taken multiple of them, would it be best if they go on thinking they are safe and effective? Yes ignorance is bliss in this case as they can’t go back now.
if you have a dying loved one who is PIMI, would you talk to them on their deathbed about there is no resurrection hope, the Bible is wrong?

I’ve come to the conclusion that if someone is so sure they have the truth about the big questions then they are probably wrong.
Most evolutionists are so sure their theory is now fact and cognitive dissonance won’t let them consider anything else. But then many creationists are the same.
Those of us who have come to the acceptance stage where we are comfortable in the knowledge that the Bible may be right but it may not be also.
Different interpretations of the Bible may be right but they also may not be. The governing body are definitely wrong about many things but they may be just imperfect men trying to do their best and making lots of mistakes.
Once you get to this final stage that people like me are at you can be happy and have the attitude it may be true it may not be. I hope the Bibles promises come true we will see, but there is probably more to it than we think.

“I wish I had found the truth about the truth 50 or 60 years ago. I would have had different life but not necessarily happier. Still as happy with Sis England as when we first met.”
George that is my point. Yes you would have lived a different life but probably not as happy. And would you be more happy now if you stayed PIMI?
And what is the truth about the truth anyway? Are they wrong about everything or only some things? Was Jesus a real man in history for example? Of course he was so they are right about that.
The point I’m making is it’s not as simple as saying “now I’ve discovered the real truth” anyone may think that but perhaps nobody has the real truth. In that case if what you believe makes you happy maybe that’s better than believing something else that makes you have no hope and bleak outlook when even that option is probably not true either.
I think it’s better to go for the option that makes you happy
