I do know what it's like to deal with bullies - the Governing Body has slandered me and torn apart my entire family and social support group. They "blocked" me and refuse to apologize. They have empowered local men to harass me at times and now wherever I go on earth there are people who because of the GB/FDS/elder slander will not interact with me. Some of the elders locally have done some things to me and attempted to do to things to my kids that I don't feel comfortable talking about here openly on a forum. There is no court on earth at present that can undo that damage. I know what it's like to deal with bullies. But me making fun of them and imitating their tactics isn't the way to fix it. It would just give them more ammo.
breaking news....there is hope for good hearted non-jws!!!.
according to sergio:.
are jehovah's witnesses the only ones to be saved during the end time?.
(Good thing WTBT$ aren't the judges.😬)

Hi, @Argentinas...
Look, I've known a lot of jerks that don't stop their harassment. I understand the pain that comes from people who are trying to ruin your life. I'm not defending Lloyd's bad behavior. I'm just saying that making fun of him isn't helping anybody. It doesn't help you, it doesn't help him. If anything, making fun of the person hurting you makes your case worse.
It's one thing to "talk" about someone or a situation. I'm all for talking and reporting and getting comfort or therapy or whatever. But it's another thing to imitate the very behavior you're offended by or to get close to imitating that behavior by speaking abusively and making foolish pictures.
Is it really helping your case to encourage these depictions?

Hi, Elmer, thank you.🙂
I have researched him. Like I said, I don't approve of any nasty stuff he's done. King Saul did nasty stuff too, but when the Philistines stuck his dead body on the wall to make fun of him, it wasn't appropriate.
If you see somebody beat up on the side of the road and left for dead, you can walk by or you can pick him up. What if "that guy" on the side of the road in Jesus' illustration was Lloyd Evans. We already know that the JWborg teaches to just walk by a "shunned" person who has been labeled "unworthy of love". I don't believe in their false doctrine.
Lloyd Evans has fallen. He's been exposed. You've already shunned him to show you don't approve of what he does. Maybe he'll change, maybe he won't. Either way, what good does it do for you to make fun of him? Is that going to help him change?

I don't "approve" of the shady things Lloyd Evans did. I'm all for exposing hypocrisy and reporting wrongdoing, etc, but what's the point in the extended character assassination and ridicule? He abused trust and acted poorly. He's reaping what he sowed. Fine. Good job whoever exposed the wrongdoing, keep warning people if there is bad stuff going on, but what's the point in abusing him verbally and with all the pictures? It's kinda gross.
There is an expression: "Pick on someone your own size." If you really think you're intellectually/morally superior and you think he's emotionally/mentally "smaller" than you, then why are you acting like middle school bullies in this way? Ridicule doesn't add to your argument, it just undermines your authority.
I'm pretty sure in the community guidelines I read "This is not the venue for you to harass, abuse or intimidate others however much you may not like what they believe."
The thread is about Lloyd Evans. How many of the posts would he consider harassment or abuse? If you were talking that way about my brother, I'd ask you to stop.
Please stop.
jesus told simply and plainly what he wanted his disciples should go and preach about.
he said the same day he went up to heaven in luke 24:46-48.
46 and he said to them, “this is what is written: that the christ would suffer and rise from among the dead on the third day, 47 and on the basis of his name, repentance for forgiveness of sins would be preached in all the nations—starting out from jerusalem.
Yes, during the tribulation ahead, the preaching message will be simple. "The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near."🙂 We won't need a fancy committee or governing body or church headquarters to explain what the message should be. It's already in the book!
As you go, preach saying: "The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near."
The message hasn't changed. There is no special "hailstone message" that is going to be conveyed or something by some GB/FDS. The message is the same. "The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near." That will be the message until Jesus comes on the clouds and everybody sees him. Then we won't have to share that message anymore, because everybody will see that he'll be here and it will be obvious.☺️
"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made concerning all sorts of men, concerning kings and all those who are in high positions, so that we may go on leading a calm and quiet life with complete godly devotion and seriousness. This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God, whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all—this is what is to be witnessed to in its own due time. For the purpose of this witness I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—a teacher of nations in the matter of faith and truth."
(As regards the hail of Revelation, the hail plague is on religion, it's describing part of the attack of the UN on religious institutions.
"And I will make justice the measuring line
And righteousness the leveling tool.
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will flood out the hiding place.
Your covenant with Death will be dissolved,
And your agreement with the Grave will not stand.
When the raging flash flood passes through,
You will be crushed by it.
As often as it passes through,
It will sweep you away;
For it will pass through morning after morning,
During the day and during the night.
Only terror will make them understand what was heard." (Isaiah 28:17-19))
in the revelation book it talks about jesus' witnesses.
were are true witnesses of jesus, not those who teach that jesus is the almighty god, but really true witnesses of jesus.. this is what the revelation book ways about witnesses of jesus:.
19:10 ..... brothers who have the work of witnessing concerning jesus.

take for example revelation 21: 10. .
“….and he showed me the holy city jerusalem coming down out of heaven from god.
here john sees something happening, action.
@EP
Just for you
Hi, @Vander! Thanks for thinking of me! Lol...😁 I was posting the other comment just as I noticed you posted that link...but I just checked it out and...
As regards Desolation...the religious institutions will also be completely Desolated when the UN attacks religious institutions.
(I hope your talk went well this morning! I wasn't able to Zoom at that time, but maybe another time🙂)

The lights of figurative Israel (Christendom), the lights of figurative Babylon (all the religions), the lights of figurative Egypt (the idols, whatever they represent to each person, people have their own idols, many types of idols) will go out.
The attack on the religious institutions will be like the figurative lights going out. It's recorded also figuratively in Revelation 8:12...
"The fourth angel blew his trumpet. And a third of the sun was struck and a third of the moon and a third of the stars, in order that a third of them might be darkened and the day might not have light for a third of it, and the night likewise."
Even though the lights went out in Egypt when the plague of darkness hit, the Israelites still had light in all their dwellings.
True Christians, those who have a relationship with God through Jesus, are like "Israel" in that they are "contenders with God" and they will still have "light" in their dwellings during the time of darkness, during the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation when the religious institutions are attacked.
That will be the time to "let the light shine" so that others can hear that Jesus is King in heaven (because at that point he will be) and to tell that he will be coming by the end of the 3 1/2 year tribulation to fix everything.
Humans have tried all kinds of governments, but they've never had the chance to try to rule without the interference of organized religion. The 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation will show that human governments cannot fix things on earth, either with organized religion around or without it.
True Christians are like Jerusalem, which will be trampled on by the nations until the appointed times of the nations has come to a finish. The appointed times for the nations is 3 1/2 years. The good news of the kingdom will also be preached during that time. Then the end will come.
The generation that sees the beginning of the great tribulation will live to see the end of it, because it's only 3 1/2 years the tribulation will last. Then Jesus will come on the clouds, and everybody will know and see him.
