on pages 27 & 28 of the august 2019 study watchtower, it perverts the translation of scriptures yet again, in order to drum it into jw's minds that they have to work for their salvation.
“on the evening before his death, jesus told his disciples: “exercise faith in god; exercise faith also in me.” (john 14:1).
according to strong's lexicon, the greek word pisteuō is translated thus - “to think to be true, to be persuaded of, to credit, place confidence in, of the thing believed, to credit, have confidence.”.

Unlimited Tab Tony to Smiddy3: this was a special transmission after the holy Macallan spirit flowed through us! We do not need to support such things with verses !

my mother became a witness when i was five and i believed that every witness followed what was said at the meetings and the instructions given.
my naive belief carried on until maybe i was 10?
at the old conventions, volunteers would come early and pack fruit into net bags so that it could be sold at lunch.
"shunned by married sisters thinking she would be after their husbands,"
What does that tell you about the insecure relationships that the JDUBS have , So much for the three fold cord n blah,blah, blah..
I remember a divorced for decades sister moved into our cong n immediately older/experienced/mature (i use these terms in Jdub lingo context) sisters started to gossip that she was there to look for a relationship .This sister was 62 .She wanting to move for a change of scenery but not in this cult. Every step you take has to be analysed, judged n labelled !

witnesses brag about their brotherhood and incredible love that exists within the organization.
they say they are really the only true religion.

Feel sorry for your sister Sparky. When publications teach us from a young age about demons and the damage, control they have; then it must have a bad effect on us all. It is hard to uproot such things !
Thank you for sharing.

I saw that elders could "get away with murder " no consequences; elders wives could stir up trouble n gossip with no consequences at all; elders children could get away scot-free from anykind of sin(stealing, lying, driking, celebrating worldly festivals, flirting, worldy association) with no consequences at all ! Except for the publishers, they had to face punishment, consequences, disciplining, counseling at every step of the way despite their not breaking gods law.The publisher misses one meeting, he is asked into the backroom/second room.
I have way too may such experiences to share. I wont go into details mate coz its a sore spot, would rather leave alone.

is god responsible for every good thing that happens in your life?
i ask this because a brother gave a talk several weeks ago and said that.
he said when anything positive happens, we must not assume it was by mere coincidence, but we have to have 100% confidence that jehovah cares for us and was involved.. however, people complain that jehovah doesn’t answer their prayers and are told you have to keep asking, you need to show him you really want it bad.
" they said to be that specific in your prayer ".
I specifically asked to
Well he gave me strength, but not the money, so I stopped praying! (I realised later my english was not very good then)
