The Governing Body don't deserve to have live audience with her. They could though, feel safe and secure with the barrier of a computer screen in between them and Her. May their sense of safety be VERY TEMPORARY!

A woman's Heartfelt message to the Governing Body
by UnshackleTheChains ini just watched this lovely lady's heartfelt message to the governing body.
i hope that the men she named and all lurkers who have some clout at bethel listen to this message and stop this cruel and divisive shunning policy that has ruined so many family's around the world.
this is just one voice of many many people who feel this way about your (governing body) destructive policy.

This is What I Would Need in Order to Believe
by cofty insometimes theists challenge atheists about what evidence would be required before they would believe.
various unlikely scenarios are offered in reply.
i have taken the bait myself in the past.. i think the correct answer is much more ordinary.

From the OP
There is so much more detail I could add to this
Perhaps working backwards and removing details is a way to find a broader, generalized understanding of "truth" - theistic or atheistic, only remain subjective preferences then! Would any consider this suggestion?

It seems that many witnesses simply dont care about facts?
by stuckinarut2 ini often wonder if the current crop of witnesses, especially the youth and younger ones simply don't care about facts?.
i mean for some, even with knowledge of the past scandals, misleading teachings, mistruths, etc etc, they simply don't care.
"it is the truth after all".. they are so intertwined in the operations and activities of the society, that they cant see anything outside of it.

May I suggest that, unrelated facts can be of entirely opposite nature and yet co-exist. Example: quantum physics and traditional understanding of physics appear mutually contradictory, yet both stand up to examination!

River flowing from the garden of Eden
by joey jojo inhey there.. if this point has been covered before please forgive me.. i have had the principles of noahs flood used by jw's to encourage me to attend meetings recently and this has got me musing about the flood....again.. genesis states that a river flowed from eden and branched out into four rivers, two of which being the tigris and the euphrates.. heres the baffling part; if it had never rained before, how is it that rivers existed before the flood?!!?.
a brief google search tells us that the euphrates begins its journey as snow melt and rain ( as most rivers do) in mountains in turkey.. ecc chapter 1 mentions the water cycle and describes the rivers flowing into the sea but the sea not becoming full.
how did it work pre-flood?

a hell of a anchor, a wooden anchor
Perhaps hooked to a giant sea creature, now extinct and undiscovered, causing fear in the Greeks of Poseidon.

normal behaviour

people’s behavior
"appears" different...but, means the same.
Worth a thought, isn't it?...you be the "judge".

it's very time consuming to go and look for it.

May I ask for your consideration:
What interests you?
What natural ability do you have?
What particular skill might align your interest with that ability?

My Introduction - An ex-elder's story of waking up later in life.
by doubtfull1799 inbackground:.
my parents got the “truth” while i was in primary school.
i was baptised at 14. i loved school and was extremely studious.

You have patience, doubtful1799.
Beautifully written; a journey for sure!
I wish you well.
We keep the peace by not discussing anything at all controversial.
Words of wisdom, these.
Don’t get me wrong, I have had a good life, but I could have done so much more with it if I had known the real truth. I could have been a real help to people, not just pseudo help.
That is a beautiful sentiment, but your dissatisfaction might not be called for.
One question: How do you think, your experience has affected your idea/expectations of "truth"? Please respond at your convenience.
Thank you,
S K Ditta.
