Jehovah and Jesus are tools used by the GB to create fear and hope for the rank and file. Just like the other religions.
At the end it's all about power and money.

attended the friday sesson of the 2024 summer convention.. july 5, 2024 summer convention crowd photo; they invited quite a lot of empty chairs.. .
the facility usually has 5500-6500. they spun it saying that fewer congregations were assigned.
there were 6 of the smaller, more distant sections blocked off with tarps to lessen cleaning, which i understand.

we have lonely old folks and even some not so old.. they know the gb are not who they claim to be.. but they stay in the congregation because they are lonely.
i wonder what percentage of jws this is the case, i would guess a lot.
.
Local it is a social structure, and most of the humans need structure in one way of the other. For a chat, some nice attention and to be part of a group.
That the global organization for the outside world is directed by clowns is for most of the local rank and file not relevant.

there was a knock at my door and i thought it was my take-away being delivered.. long story short, it was 2 elders calling to see me.
i guess to re-activate me.
once they said who they were i recognised them.
Return will lead to lose your freedom.
I could not, because of the group thinking and low intelligence of most of the individuals, and crazy statements made from the platform.
At this moment I can't stay longer in a KH then the annual meeting once a year. It takes all my energy because of the JW comunity scares me like hell.
Next step is to stay away there for good.

it would appear the context about marking has to do with those who are not working to feed themselves, but meddling in others business.
a couple more scrptures to think about.
jesus said not to throw your pearls before swine.
This sect is a clusterfuck.
Gorby
so: the mystery has been clarified as to more "new light" / clarifications of decades old doctrine and procedure.
august watchtower has finally been leaked.
disfellowshipping?
On Reddit a lot of reactions from those who experienced a comité and got DF.
The paradigma shift from Elders who act like communist judges to a softer aproach and a new name for the proces (removing) in a footnote of the magazine, is still hurting a lot of people.
You can't take a way the pain of victims and bystanders using a footnote!
So happy to have left this sect with my wife and 2 children. Better then ever!

big news.
just in from a friend who is fading.. disfellowshipping will no longer be a term used by jws.
study article 35, paragraph 4 footnote says this:.
At the rare moments when we visit the hall, we (family of 4, incl 2 children) get a cold shoulder. Pomo but no sins only absence. Last time we were put on the cheapest seats with one or two cold greetings.
So there is a world to win, I should say.
Understatement anyway.

The effect is the same. DF and Removed leads to shunning.
So, we call the rain from now urdidurdi but still getting wet.
So good to be free from this full sect!!!

Many empty seats in Holland, too.
