main not maim.
picked this answer up on quora.
please add other apostate "lies" you are aware of.. "jehovah's witnesses cannot refute the facts in the so-called “ lies” against them, and when they do, they shamelessly lie and tell half-truths to defend their mind-controlling sect.. their new york based leaders tell them that anything negative said about their sect is a “ lie “ from “ mentally diseased, bitter apostates”.. jws are yet to come to terms with the fact that we are in the information age and they can no longer get away with lying to protect their organisation.. for example, one of the “ lies “ told about them is that they shun anyone who leaves the cult , including family members, including their own children.. another “ lie “ is that jws are ready to allow their children to die rather than accept a life-saving blood transfusion.. the child sex abuse coverup in the cult is also said to be a “lie “.
When I left ... never df'd, just stepped down and became inactive. There were all these rumors that I had grown long hair and a beard. a year later a Witness friend passed away and I went to the wake. Everyone was shocked when they saw me. I looked the same as the day I left. Because you know growing a beard and long hair is a sure sign of apostasy.

as many probably remember, in 2018-2020, multiple kingdom and assembly halls were set on fire in the state of washington, so fbi, atf, local sheriff and arson alarm foundation offered $61,000 in rewards for information leading to arrest of the arsonist.
the attacks (seven arsons and one shooting) included:.
march 19, 2018: two arson attacks - one at a tumwater kingdom hall and the second at a kingdom hall on cain road in olympia.
any connections to the JW's?
i hope you are all doing well.. has anyone had an encounter with a unitarian universalist?
my wife has a friend who invited us to their church a few years ago.
we never went lol.
I had one on my mail route in New Jersey. It's just a hodge podge of beliefs. The ultimate search for Truth and spirituality. They have no creed. I wouldn't even call it Christian, as members can be atheist and Buddhist and whatever else.
i was listening to the co talk to my wife’s congregation on sunday and pretty much the complete talk was justifying doctrinal and organizational changes and pretty much preparing the ‘rank and file’ for upcoming changes.
anyone on hear have any insight of what ‘new light’ is coming in the future?.
They'll sell Kingdom Halls and create MegaHalls and consolidate congregations, like a Megachurch, using Assembly halls.
i ask this now because i have been living in this town for the past 14 years and the circle of friends i have now i have never let on i am an ex jw.. i`m talking about 30-50 people at least.. not that the subject has ever really come up , but i think they would be shocked / amazed that i was a ( i hate this word ) a "devout" jw for 32 years going around knocking on peoples doors trying to convert them to the religion .. yet every now and again i get tempted to.. how say you ?.
I never bring it up, of course most of my friends know that I was a JW. But I normally don't bring it up with new friends I may make. It's not important. Although I defend them, if the subject comes up and I find people speaking falsehoods. I'm "friends" with a few ex-JWs on Facebook, and sometimes I can't believe the BS I hear them spew about the Witnesses. I'm like "where did you get that from?" or "Do you have proof?" "Give me a reference." I mean the Society has enough skeletons in their closets, you don't have to make things up!
i`ll go first ,i have my vaccinated 2 jabs for the elderly.. if i`m not around in the next 3 months you will know why ..
Nope not me, i'm never getting it. I don't even get a flu shot
my wife and i went to a restaurant we go to a few times a year.
we waited for a bit but not horrible to get our drinks and food.
the place was busy but not people waiting in line for a mile to get in busy.
Several years ago my family and I were away on a long weekend. We decided to go out for breakfast, I don't remember what state we were in, but I believe it was Mother's Day, so the everybody came out of church and went out for breakfast or brunch. We waited outside for a while, then we finally got seated. We sat there for 45 minutes. The waitress was taking orders and serving patrons who came after us. She finally took our order and we sat there another 30 minutes or so. Finally saw the waitress coming out with 4 plates on her arms, and as she was backing out the kitchen door, I told everyone let's go, and we got up and left. I could see her from outside standing by our booth holding the plates looking around confused. Racist, serving every white person on the restaurant but us.
what do you like about biden's build back better agenda & the democrat's build back better act?
is it liberal and progressive enough for you or do you wish it would go further?
https://www.vox.com/22711083/biden-reconciliation-build-back-better-polls-infrastructure has some comments about it.
Like? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

7 a merchant might take pride in the fact that he had never taken anything that did not belong to him.
but what about his business practices?
Pioneer and elders wife would buy field service supplies and sell them to members of the congregation at profit. She could've easily just told them where to go get them.

we just had our co visit a few weeks ago.
apparently, he was encouraging all who could to regular pioneer, to at least try it out for a year.
because of this, we had a few people in our hall become one.. so this weekend we were on zoom service, and the sister that was just appointed was talking about it.
How do you pioneer during Covid?
