i was raised as a jw and left the group as many of the teachings don’t align with my core values.
now, forward almost 10 years, my wife and i are raising our kids through puberty and i have to admit, this challenge is not easy and seems to be even more difficult in that my own upbringing was very different.
i find it hard to compare how i was raised with what i now must do for my own kids.
Same situation here. We have twins, 11 years old. How rational and smart/ wise children can be without Awake University!
My son brought up the point that everything has a start and ending and the jw standpoint of a God who was always there is absolute nonsens and wrong.
And so much more. I enjoy the arguments they have.

more bad press for the borg in australia.
this is on the webpage of the national broadcaster:.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-13/austraila-talks-trust-religious-figures-dropping-covid-pandemic/100202940.
Is there a drop of JW's numbers in Australia since the investigation??

the governing body is a lot like today's dems.
they want to keep the rank and file in a permanent dependent state.
keep them stupid and dependent and they can rule them forever.
They don't believe it by their self.
Just car sales man.

i just launched a new website to talk about my books.
the website has links to all three books in the alternate history trilogy i published over the last year.
of more interest to this group there is a description of the suspense/thriller i plan to release this summer.
Good!

i have to share.
i went to the supermarket last night and got one item.
i placed the 10 dollar bill on the item.
And so the feedback loop is taken.

he seems to me to be the angriest and most ill-tempered of all the wt presidents, especially after his stint in prison and failed prophecies.. “regarding his misguided statements as to what we could expect in 1925, he [rutherford] once confessed to us at bethel, “i made an ass of myself.”” watchtower 1984 oct 1 p.24.
rutherford died at beth sarim on january 8, 1942, at the age of 72.
[220] cause of death was...carcinoma of the rectum..."[21] .
Corrupt psycho.

so you all probably heard that the awake magazine is back, .
https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/?contentlanguagefilter=en&pubfilter=g&yearfilter=.
and one of my jw relatives said they were told by some elders that meetings and field service will resume before the end of the year.. they said this covid virus was a test, like when the romans breached jerusalem and retreated, only to come back later and sack jerusalem.
Sect.
I hate it more and more.
