it's becoming unbearable for me to attend another meeting.
i dread coming to the weekly sunday public talk and watchtower study.
the talks are ''repeats'' of a ''repeat.
In 2008 I could no longer attend the meetings, because my brains got hurt. All the bias, rules and made uo history, I could no longer accept.
Since 1995 generation change I became PIMO.
Now with wife and children save, faded and off the jw radar since we moved to another city.
JW family still have contact, they avoid the elephant in the room.

It's all about long term investment.

hey everyone,.
a few months ago, there was a post asking about randy watters.
it seems that there was a lot of speculation as to his health and well being.
Remember reading his online story's helped me much.

as 1975 was approaching, many witnesses sold their property.
do you know about specific cases that are willing to share their experience of doing so?.
In the congregation, yes.
My father, bought houses then and many eyebrows rised.
We did not believe in 1975.

we had a co talk touching on resurrection, death, seeing family again.
the brother went into scenarios about his family, complete with tears.
i question getting that emotional every time he gives this talk.

admittedly it 90% crap over there but still they are up to 80k in subscribers.
over here it's the same half dozen or so that posts something, including myself.
why is that?.
something to cheer about, after the jw cult's failure to silence kevin mcfree.
closed captions/subtitles are facilitated.
enjoy.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqdxo1v8ilm&t=481s.

old news but uncle bruce wanted it dug up.... the guardian.
22nd july 1985.. man killed in blast.
at sydney service.. from richard yallop in melbourne.. one man was killed and 70 people were taken to hospital after a bomb exploded yesterday during a jehovah's witnesses service in a kingdom hall in the sydney suburb of lurnea.. the explosion occurred close to the speaker's dais just as mr. david winder, a visiting elder from the sydney suburb of prospect, had begun his address on loyalty to god and the family.
I remember it well, on Dutch TV news, and it conflicted with my "Jehovah protected his people" conviction.
Syntax error in my believe system then.

a simple " me" if you dont want to say more--or a short explanation about who is shunning you and how long has this been going on.. i'll set the ball rolling: my daughter--her husband and children; my younger son --no contact from them for 40 years...because i left their religion.. (edit--i just noticed the typo in the header--if should be of ).
Ha. Interesting! We are pomo.
Some family do avoid us, but most give us a normal treatment.
Witness, local, are cold or look away.

there seems to be a difference of opinion between geoffrey jackson and tonny morris on how to deal with their feelings towards worldly people.geoffrey jackson made a point to say in his talk that jesus wept for the wicked in jerusalem but following that bloodthirsty tony morris in his talk wants the demon stirred wicked humanity gone..
Tony lost his Wiskey buying moment.
O my... WishI was at the liquid store.
