do you have the facts?.
page 3 - as true christians, we need to develop the ability to evaluate information and reach accurate conclusions.. page 4 - it is especially important to avoid (view) websites promoted by apostates.
(awakened jw's) their whole purpose is to tear down (inform) god’s people and to distort (reveal) the truth.
Be sure you have the facts.
It is literally impossible to be sure you have the facts—especially ALL the facts—if you only have a single source of information!
It is important to learn to be open to, and sometimes even actively seek out, additional sources of information if we hope to even have a chance at knowing the facts.
he was basically a good man, just a believer in the religion.
when we were both elders we were best of friends and then things deteriorated when i was not an elder for a while.
then after becoming an elder again, i slowly drifted away from the religion and he drifted further away from me.
I’m sorry to hear this Minimus. We need to treasure the little time we have with the people we love.
That the beliefs and practices of this religion interferes with and oft prevents that is one of the many pieces of evidence that it is a destructive cult.

It would be helpful is there were dates (even if only approximate) as to WHEN they were sold.
is there a thread that lists the kh's that are being sold in the us?
i just learned that my old hall is getting sold and the 2 congregations that are meeting there are merging with 2 congregations in another hall..
Wakanda, can you create a shared Google document or spreadsheet then post the link here?

Start one. Be specific. List locations, dates and all other relevant details.
it really amazes me when jws act like we are hurting them!.
many of us have found that if we stop associating with them for valid reasons, they act all upset and hurt that we would be "so cruel as to limit our association or cut them off".
i know of friends here on the forum who have been told by parents that they "will shun them if they leave jehovah" , and yet when the shoe is on the other foot and our awake friends shun them first, the parents cry and bemoan the situation and say how "cruel it is to deprive them of their company".
Cults actively cultivate a “victim mentality” and learned helplessness among their members. It keeps them docile and easier to control.

consequences of living in a simulation[edit]some scholars speculate that the creators of our hypothetical simulation may have limited computing power; if so, after a certain point, the creators would have to deploy some sort of strategy to prevent simulations from themselves indefinitely creating high-fidelity simulations in unbounded regress.
If you'll excuse me, I have to go reboot the Universe. I don't like how this one is turning out.
i went on line looking for old jw songs and some of them were pretty good and some were just awful!.
did you ever like any of those songs?
.
I liked two:
Coincidentally, "Integrity" was actually the first song I ever learned when I started "studying" with JWs. Years later when I started studying jazz I became convinced that "Integrity" is a complete rip-off of the jazz standard, Stella by Starlight. (PM me for details if your curious for more).
I ended up becoming friends with the guy who wrote "MTTYO." He was something of a mentor to me when I was in the cult so I was surprised when he left it a few years before I did.
We reconnected after I left and now we're all good again "Making TTATT our Own!"
maga hat...make america great again .
guy wears it in nyc bar and gets thrown out.
manhattan court throws out the case citing that since its not religious discrimination, it’s the bar’s right.. what so you think about this?
What if a gay person wearing a MAGA hat wants to order a wedding cake? What then?
Well in that case, MAGA = Make America Gay Again!
Let them eat cake, and the hat should be pink ... or rainbow colored!
