Same here, so glad left at the same time. Actually hubby already knew it was bunk, he was just waiting quietly on me.
But I believe what I would do once everything is behind us, I would ask, So when is the end suppose to happen?
so what the heck are they brainwashing today in the meeting or what ever.
she is in full on cult mode talking about the end of the world.

i loath this cult!!!!!!!!!!
why won't she leave?.
she knows about the australian royal commision, the united nations, failed prediction dates etc...., i have crisis of consciene and she know, it is visiable that she could see the book everyday.
My question to those JWs who buy those "to go" bags? Where are they going to go to? Meaning will they have shelter and safety where they are going to. And what about the current pandemic, they surely don't want to go around others who they don't know, because it won't take much to spread it.
That is just another fear tactic to keep them in line with the Watchtower, like the good little life stock they are. And before someone says I'm not life stock, then why are they always calling people sheep and goats? LIFE STOCK, in the Watchtower's eyes people, are nothing more, both those in and out.
waken up uk sheeple and smell the coffee.. no two-metre distancing for 22 men doing their job; clenched fists touching other clenched fists at the end; no face-masks being worn by the majority of those on the sidelines.. time for people to start demanding answers from their elected politicians..
Those players and the others who are there get tested two weeks before they come together like that. Those who test positive are quarantined.
a new fox poll says biden is up by 12 percentage points.
of course, most other polls say trump will be trounced this time around.. do you think the polls might be right this time?
.
I never believe the polls.
there are numerous experiences you might see once getting involved with the jws.. things that come to mind are as follows ........... getting lied to by dishonest men (gb) running an unregulated religoius publishing house.
(wts).
these men created an apostate (commercialized) version of the gospel of jesus and the new to come kingdom order, many from both inside and outside of the organization are starting to realize that .. your mostly likely are getting to be pressured and quilted into spreading about the wts's literature to the public in hours of service as they describe it, with all the attached false doctrines this organization's top leaders make.. you will be closely monitored by congregation elders to how you dress, the length of you hair your attendance, who you are associating with, what are you doing in your private social life etc.. you will most likely going to hear about people who were somehow associated with the organization have committed suicide.
When it comes to this:
You will be closely monitored by congregation elders to how you dress, the length of you hair
I have something to add to this thought. One will also see double standards depending on who you are and who you are connected to. While one sister can get away with wearing big dangly earrings and a tight leather skirt, but then they turn around and "council" another because she wore something inappropriate such as a denim knee-length skirt. Yes, this happened to me and my friend. My friend happened to be an elder's daughter.
Here are some more to the list;
Constantly being told to put on the "new personality".
Elders actually prying into a couple's sex life and making them feel guilty about it.
If you are not doing everything for Jehovah (aka The Watchtower) you won't make it into the new system. If you slack up at the last moment, you could still die at Armageddon.
Armageddon is right around the corner.
We are in the final parts of the last days.
do you think it’s a good idea?.
Not a good idea, but there should be some serious policy changes. Also, there should be a mandatory psych evaluation implemented,
just an odd thought i guess.
i saw a large snake in the back of my house the other day and it went on its merry way.
i just asked myself, what if the snake turned around and wanted to have a philosophical discussion on life, the universe or the origin of creation and then began to ask me questions?
I just thought of something else, "How would I react if a snake started talking to me?" My thoughts would be, "Who spiked my drink?" lol

I would beat it with a stick.
i'm reading babylon the great has fallen, god's kingdom rules, published 1963. this was studied years ago when i was about 10-12 years old.
i wanted to just read some of the beliefs from decades ago.
my wife wants to know why i'm reading this book.
Before I had left I was researching through some of the old Watchtower literature, at the time I still had hard copies of books dated back to the 1960s. My very much PIMI brother inlaw said I was a stupid woman and an apostate. This did not sit very well with my husband, and he replied back to his brother, well then the Watchtower must also be an apostate because it is their books. So that also makes you an apostate by association with the Watchtower.
today, it will be 90 degrees and humid!
this morning i’ll be playing tennis again.
while most people have been holed up in their houses, i have regularly played the sport outside.
So far I haven't worn a mask, but I haven't gone anywhere there were many other folks. The only place I plan on wearing a mask is if I have to wear one to do business with them. After a two month layoff, my husband went back to work, he has to wear a mask for his job. His plant doesn't have air conditioning, and it is hot and muggy.
