You don't understand the universe?????????
I'm still struggling to understand why I swallowed the org's "truth" faster than a McDonald's chocolate milk shake!
it has always baffled me, if earth and it's inhabitants, are god's sole sentient creation (aside from the angel's and demons) along with the animal life, why create such a vast galaxy, along with billions of other galaxies, with their trillions of stars and planets, etc.
what's the point?
our galaxy surely would've been enough, in a great void of blackness.

i'm mean were talking making someone a policy maker for the corporation that can have serious financial consequences.
i'm sure intelligence is not high on the priority list for this noble office being they hate higher education and consider it a waste of time.. i'm sure they would thoroughly know the party line as any self respecting mind control would never choose an original thinker.
i'm also sure a lot of ass kissing happens before one gets chosen as a ass wiping helper which seem to be a sort of initiation into governing body corporate politics and a sort of proving ground to show your determination protect the organization from the enemy be they what ever source.
Do Catholic monks have the same habit?
is that stupid ,lazy, crazy or what ?
i`m talking about a brochure ?could you call it that ?.
"you are welcome to attend ".
9 apostles + Jesus.
Judas had already gone to see the Pharisees, and the other apostle had been sent out to buy a few bottles of Macallan whisky - that's why he was not at the meeting!
UK invitations are printed in Germany. No more printing being done UK.

if you have not yet come to know and to accept as a way of life the righteous decrees of jehovah, you have no time to lose.
you must act quickly if you are to stand before jehovah’s executional forces with the mark of true christian identification.

21 ......To be saved we must ‘endure to the end’ of our present life or of this system. (Matthew 24:13) Only if we thus remain faithful as witnesses of Jehovah will baptism save us.
Yes, JW's, whatever you do, reject outright every scripture which shows that Christians are to be witnesses of Christ - and not of Jehovah:
Isa. 62:2; Acts 11:26; Matt. 10:18; Mark 13:9; Luke 24: 47,48; Acts 1:8; John 1:15; John 5:37; John 8:18; John 15:26,27; Acts 10:39; Acts 10:43; Acts 13:31; Acts 22:15; Acts 22:20; Acts 23:11; Acts 26:16; 1 Cor. 1:6; 1 Tim. 2:6,7; 2 Tim. 1:8; 1 John 5:9; Rev. 1:9; Rev. 12:17; Rev. 17:6; Rev. 19:10; Rev. 20:4.
Mr. Rutherford's new "brand name" and re-branding strategy in 1931 worked a treat. Sent those pesky Bible Students into virtual obscurity.
...was started only 3 years ago and is about to be completed this year.. clear evidence of "jehovah's backing," eh wtbts?.

i remember reading somewhere (perhaps on here?
) than an entire congregation disassociated and started their own congregation after decided that the gb were apostate.. was this an urban myth or is there any evidence of this?.
I remember hearing that the elders and numerous publishers of a congregation in Falkirk, Scotland had to be booted out in the 80's - by hit men from the Britain Branch, because of "apostasy", or as we call it, "having our eyes opened."
Probably a major reason why the cult has taken legal control of K.H.'s.
many of us know that watch tower (yes, two words in this case) has issued a subpoena to reddit to try to gain darkspilver's identity due to accusations of copyright infringement:.
tl;dr: on april 9, watch tower filed a response to the eff's motion to quash (filed march 26) regarding the subpoena submitted to reddit in an attempt to find /u/darkspilver's identity.. the wt response is publicly available here as a pdf, from the site court listener.. a number of other documents relating to the case are available on the same site, here.. and the eff's motion to quash is available on the eff's website here.. details: as i'm sure many of us know, watch tower (yes, two words in this case) has issued a subpoena to reddit to try to gain /u/darkspilver's identity due to accusations of copyright infringement.
specifically, watch tower is claiming copyright infringement for two things: first, darkspilver posted the back page of the november 2018 watchtower which was an article entitled "what gift can we give to jehovah?” which explained how to donate.
When Darkspilver was here, he never revealed any exclusives or "inside info." He was just usually on the ball to present JW info which was in the public domain - never condemning or vilifying the org and its hierarchy.
Neither did he reveal that he was a devoted & active J.W.
And from looking at his Reddit stuff - as far as the cult's concerned - "nothing to see here folks."
Why would the org fork out $$$$$$ in legal fees to target an irrelevant blogger? That's the mystique!
so after almost 5 months of not attending meeting, today my husband decided to attend the special talk.
i am sad, frustrated, nervous, but also hopeful that he will see something that he never did before .
lies and manipulation.
Hopefully your husband had the same reaction as I did:
The "special" talk in the UK was a video presentation by a Bethelite speaker, and during the video, the speaker in the video stopped talking to introduce a video of two people's experience!
Mind-numbing electronic religion. (I watched it on the internet, by the way)
from the bbc website.
the feature is about ex cult members .
this mans experience as certain similarities.
Just read it and came here to post! :)

If it looks like a cult, sounds like a cult, and acts like a cult - then it's a cult!
i’m fairly new so i don’t know everyone’s backstory.
how did you realize the organization was false?.
My alarm clock!
Sorry HBF, welcome.
The scales fell off my eyes thanks to "two witnesses" -
The cult's anti-scriptural perversions that -
a) Romans 6:7 is literal and that a person's own death wipes out their sins.
b) Rev. 20:12 says new scrolls will be opened during the millennium and will contain new teachings. (3 lies attributed to one verse!)
From that point on, I researched everything the org ever told me was "truth."
