No Divine protection for Jehovah's Witnesses' gatherings. JW Death toll rises around the world.
by Balaamsass2 ingrowing up as a jw in the 1960s and 1970s, a common refrain from the yearbook, local elders and circuit overseers was how jws were protected at meetings, conventions, and in the field service by "the angels".
experiences of "divine intervention" during service, ww2, in communist lands, and conventions were common.
the internet and google are regularly debunking this myth in the 21st century.

Funny you say that, Tonus, about the relief you feel. 39 years ago, when I moved into my first apartment, crummy as it was, when I closed the door behind me, I knew I was well and truly DONE, no more meetings,service or any more of the nonsensical bullshittery that is Watchtower. The TREMENDOUS WEIGHT I felt off my shoulders, I remember to this day. I remember thinking that, if this religion were true, I wouldn’t feel this way. I felt like I did more than walk away, I ESCAPED.

A New Name for an Old Orgy - Awake 95 2/8 pp. 26-27
by Sea Breeze inyep, that is the title of an article in the 1995 awake magazine alerting people to the horrors of valentine's cards & candy.
the message is simple, if you eat valentine's candy at school while no one is looking, it's nearly the same as being in an orgy.
i just can't believe some of the garbage i used to read and regard as acceptable literature.

No Reporting of Time, Tithing is OK, Now WT Teaches a "Rapture" - What's Next?
by Sea Breeze inthose who will be taken to heaven will first need to be “changed, in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet.” therefore, while we do not use the term “rapture” here because of its wrong connotation, the remaining faithful anointed will be gathered together in an instant of time.
- the watchtower—study edition | july 2015. ok so they refuse to use the word "rapture".
kinda like they refuse to use the word church and clergy (except when it suits their purposes in court cases).

The ''dreaded'' birthday cake
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.
11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?
or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?
