They were right when they made the statement
That religion is a snare and a racket.
But failed to realize it included themselves .
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.

from william.
h. bowen on facebook :.
alienation and garbage the new message of jehovah’s witnesses.
If that was taking place in a family relationship that would be called domestic abuse which is a criminal offence in many countries and yet JWs view is as spiritual instruction .
And yet while you are experiencing such behaviour constantly you don't notice it even though you feel something it's right , but until you admit to yourself that the king had no clothes ,it's only then you start to see how you were manipulated and controled and start the waking up process.
Abuse of this kind is a learned behaviour ,we probably all did it with our family and people we tried to preach to in the field service , thankfully we can and do unlearn this abusive behaviour and become better people for doing so.
on reddit, a pimo elder talked about the co special meeting with the co about all what’s important, tight pants!
omg we have a pandemic, some have lost their jobs, people are depressed, but let’s stop the brothers from wearing tight pants.
also, metro style haircuts.
So a short back and sides a common haircut growing up as a boy in the 60s &70 s
for those who think the organization is going more mainstream think again.
so eating a leftover birthday cupcake is as bad a sin as peter betraying jesus!
(see lloyd evans video) .
And yet joining the UN so you can get a library card is ok , riding the wild beast of revelation is not as bad as a wanting to eat a left over birthday cupcake.
the watchtower—study edition | march 2021. study article 13. jehovah will protect you—how?.
14 we also have the support of myriads of powerful angels.
think of what just one angel can do!
Or protect the victims of child abuse and do something to the perpetrator before they can do anything.
https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-october-2020/how-to-conduct-a-bible-study-that-leads-to-baptism-part-two/.
i recently came across the above watchtower article which spoke about conducting bible studies which lead to baptism.
it progressed to say that if the bible study instructor does not see growth within the student or the desire to work towards baptism, then the studies should end.
As I recall a Bible study is if on the first call and you read a scripture then on the return visit you read and briefly discuss another scripture and something on JW.org you can count a study even if on the next visit they stop the discussion, at the end of the month you report a study,
The same will probably be the same with letter writing etc.
That probably account's for the high number of reported studies and the low number progressing to baptism.
where does one start ?
ok i`ll do my best and you can add some more if you like .. first off, wherever in the world you are that`s where you will stay.why?
because modern day transport as we know it will no longer be.
A world without history , even our own history the music TV shows films and cars etc that we remember as we grew up and to a greater extent the history of our world pyramids and others historical sites and museums , gone forever as they are part of Satan's world .
hi,friends , i doubt that the jehovah`s witnesses will sign up and in one way it is a good thing because it will bring reproach on the name of god and his supposed organization, if the govts.are true to theire word they should name and shame them.
for not signing up.. one of the reasons for not signing up is because they do not share interfaith with other christian religions.. however they seem to have no problem selling their kh`s to christendoms religions .?.
but if any member of the jw`s has any dealings with another church you will be brought before the judicial committee to explain yourself and maybe end up disfellowshipped.. if ,and i don`t beleive there will be any persecution ,but if it did occur it would be because they brought it upon themselves ..
Hopefully the Australian government makes this the last chance for them to join and then backdate the tax exempt status to all the money even the money they moved out off the country.
And a apology to the victims and survivors so they can have a measure of justice.
we were told by watchtower that no way jesus was born on dec. 25th.
.
what do you think now?.
Gaslighting is providing false information making someone to doubt the facts.
As others have said their is no concrete evidence , historical or archaeological evidence of a miracle worker called Jesus outside of the four gospels which were written decades after the events so not eyewitness accounts.
So if anyone is Gaslighting it is you.unless you can provide the clear and proven evidence of the miracles and life of Jesus as facts and not based on hearsay of individual's decades later.
from the borg?.
i point to none other than cal lehman and the towerwatch ministries.
towewatch.com.. the years following the collapse of the ussr and the 1995 generation left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time.
A disfellowshiped apostate ,I was listening to a radio talk show about jws and disfellowshiping and a individual who had been shunned by her family and then this exelder called in and explained he had been disfellowshiped for questioning that JWs were a member of the UN during the 90s and then calmly mentioned about the guardian newspaper exposure and simply said look it up , and initially I thought it was apostate lies but looked it up anyway and found the newspaper article then found this forum and read many topics and used the search function .
Many thanks to that guy , just shows a simple calm comment can start the waking process.
