You Cant Go Back And Change the Beginning But You Can Start Where You Are And Change The Ending....C.S.Lewis

i haven’t posted in awhile.
my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.
my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.

"must" release such guilty members to punishment .
watchtower 1962, november 15th, pg.-693, par.-9-10.
“9 worldly authorities render a judgment and punish persons, whether they are inside the congregation or outside, if they violate the laws of decency and good order.
The Truth Means Responsibility Which Is Why They Dread It! So Blackball it!

we don’t get many invitations to congregational social gatherings.
we don’t attend midweek meetings and miss about 1/3 of sunday meetings.
we go in service at least once a month.
I blackballed them all n felt good doing it.

One still had to watch oneself at these so called gatherings as to outfit, to casual, worldly in their terms, jokes or laughs too worldly etc .Sometimes it felt like another meeting night with food n some tricks added on. All the clergy (yes they do have a clergy class)n their wives keeping their eyes on each one to see if they conform to jw ways at the gathering or are a little wayward/casual.(dunno how to express it)
I had the meetings for that so why give another evening to this coat n daggers event!

Ha! Ha! The joke was on them coz I deliberately refused all invites as these gatherings were none other than a crowd of free loaders off of those who do bring food/contribute money towards it all. People were puzzled(and disappointed as I always contributed delicious food and money towards these events as I am a decent person) as I passed these over to do my own thing than be sitting around either gossipping, talking behind each others backs, or boozing and getting to stupid tricks.
Nah I aint got time for that so did my own thing , my way and enjoyed it so much better too (with better friends who really cared).
I did it my way.

so i am trying to understand if i am the only pomo that experiences the situation where the pimi spouse comes back from a meeting a different personanlity.
it may not be obivious to the untrained eye, but i notice it and i know my sons notice it.
this last round after all the loyalty bs and armagedon bs it's like she has stayed stuck in it.
This explains the behaviour perfectly: From the book CULTS,FAITH,HEALING AND COERCION,
meeting regularly is "a means of instilling commitment and a sense of purpose. A member's emotional state may be highly vulnerable to disruptions of this routine, and a group gathering missed can become a source of distress. As one
longtime AA member noted while describing his despair over everyday problems, "It always feels good to go to a meeting."a FANTASTIC READ

the latest jwdotorg experience starts very familiarly:.
danielle, one of jehovah’s witnesses in south africa, found a bag that a customer had left behind in a coffee shop.
inside the bag was a wallet with money and credit cards.. when the owner met her to get it back,.
Perhaps Dear Andre has been made redundant (asked to go back home) just like many many others who have been squeezed dry !

if this has been posted before, then my apologies..... article in april ‘20 wt changes the view of the locust swarm prophecy...formerly believed to describe the worldwide preaching by anointed.
”simply put, these verses refer, not to our zealous preaching work, but to the activity of the babylonian army that invaded jerusalem in 607 b.c.e.”.
they also tie in the giving of holy spirit to the congregation at pentecost and thereafter.. the article is available to read in full on our least favourite website.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2020/an-attack-coming-from-the-north/.
Speaking in tongues (bullshit tongues we never heard of) imho !
