not sure if this topic has being covered recently.. my son asked me a question if the jw's have in the recent months being pushing a new end date to the system?
he was telling me about how his mother has being on him again about the urgency of the end of this system of things and he needs to do something asap.
i told him i am not aware of any new dates as i have being away from the cult for over 20 years.

" spend massive amounts of time away from his family to shepherd the flock, prepare talks, travelling to give talks and judging others in judicial committees."
If you mean 5 minutes as Massive in the car just to pull out a verse to discuss with the person they are going to shepherd;then yeah thats so much effort and sacrifice ! I am grateful for that....noooooot !
I have seen these elders come to the house ,then sit in the car and discuss what to say just before knocking on the door. So much Holy Shit working on them.
If you mean during the meeting preparing for the talk they are about to give, then hell ya what a sacrificing brother he is ......noooot ! (seen this often too).
If you mean travelling to their best buddy's house for the day/weekend, on the pretense of giving a talk, wow unbelievable sacrifice of Massive time . I take my hat off to them....nooooot !
All a farce.

a cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink.
unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was.when he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen.
he went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling.. "which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!
A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink.

He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling.
"Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!" he yelled with surprising forcefulness.
No one answered.
"Alright, I'm gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun in Texas!"
Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post. He saddled up and started to ride out of town.
The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?"
The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home."
we've often seen the happifying kingdom trope of a bearded bible student coming up from the baptism water with a freshly shaven, baby smooth face.
beards, after all, signify independent thinking and are best left to worldlings.
our new july 2019 issue of the watchtower, however, sheds increasing light on the subject.

more than 70 victims of sexual abuse within the jehovah's witnesses have come forward with their stories since the public network aired a documentory about it last week, reports the nonprofit organisation reclaimed voices belgium.. the documentary brought to light that the organisation had been covering up sexual abuse of minors via an internal 'disciplinary' system for years, concluded pano.
that way, none of the claims were reported to the police.
one of the witnesses in the documentary was very straightforward in calling it "a paradise for paedophiles".according to ciaosn, an independent centre set up by belgium's department of justice to study sectarian organisations, there are similar findings in 12 other countries.

wazzup, cultists?.
today i am very pleased to suggest for your viewing pleasure the film the endless, by the directoral team of moorhead & benson.. .
a synopsis?
@Nathan Natas
You might find those on netflix perhaps.
More recommendations are "Split" 2016 american horror, director M. Night Shayamalan;
"Birdbox" 2018 American post apocalyptic horror thriller; director Susanne Bier.
"The skeleton Key" 2005, director Iain Softley, is definitely a suspense,supernatural thriller. I enjoyed it very much.
(Some one mentioned "the shining" and I found it boring,so left it halfway.)
