... that this forum, which is such an amazing resource for those needing support for their journey from watchtower's clutches has an increasingly present representation of unreasoning politically charged loudmouths..
Just like the exjw journey, the experience will be different for everyone. We have debated, fought and argued about type of activism, protesting, online Exjw personalities, how to leave, when to leave, why to leave, becoming atheist after, staying a Christian after.... it goes on and on.
A little political banter between us hardly seems a stretch or inappropriate for this forum. Still, I see many have “liked” the OP.
the year was 2010. .
this has always infuriated me.
i was pomi ( but didnt know it).
Caves! I literally LoL. I used to scour thrift stores for old WT publications. I found separately over years all the volumes of Rutherford’s studies in the scriptures. Never read them, they just looked exceptionally cool in my “spiritual library” and made all my pioneer buddies so jealous! Lmao.
Those, I donated to an apostate with more energy than I.
The only exceptional power any of the New World Translations of the Bible ever had for me was relieving lower back pain as I sat in the shitty chairs of the Kingdom Hell.
Cushion anyone?

It’s a little thicker and shorter than the black or maroon version you may remember. The paper is a bit thicker and less transparent than the cigarette paper used before. The cover is light gray and is very soft and malleable instead of the rigid leather of before.
As a disfellowshipped and identified “full blown apostate” I asked my still in JW mom to give me one and she did.
I misplaced it the last time we moved. I suspect it is in a thrift store somewhere.
do these democrats really think that if they protest and wail about anything they don’t like , that policies will change ?
they are really embarrassing themselves..
“Obama's election in 2008 was preceded and followed by violent attacks and property destruction targeted against minorities.
Kaylon Johnson, an African American campaign worker for Obama, was physically assaulted for wearing an Obama T-shirt in Louisiana following the 2008 election. The three white male attackers shouted "Fuck Obama!" and "Nigger president!" as they broke Johnson's nose and fractured his eye-socket, requiring surgery.
More frequently, Obama's presidency was marked by effigies of our first black president hanging from nooses across the country, for example in Kentucky, Washington State, and Maine, or being burned around the world. What Trump supporters fail to remember is that following Obama's election, property was destroyed across the country, for example in Pennsylvania, Texas, and North Carolina, and a predominately black church was torched in Massachusetts.“
i have never seen this country so divided.
something is going to give.
they is such a lack of recognition for the law.
“I worry about those who have the guns to start a war. You know who those are. They voted for Trump in big numbers.”
I promise you, those of us with guns are the very ones who will stop a war in its tracks.

Protests are the building blocks of what our nation is. The manner of protest is what is at issue.
150 Liberals interrupting senate testimony is stupid. Packing a senators office is irritating. Those are not peaceful demonstrations and they are self harming to a political party.
Chanting “lock her up” and encouraging violence against protestors and offering legal defense costs is also stupid.
Both parties are asinine when acting like petulant children.
if the need for relief is beyond what the congregations in the area can provide, the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses arranges to supply what is needed.
[...] since the work is performed by unpaid volunteers, the funds that are allocated go toward actual relief, not administrative expenses.

Watchtower is also effective in compelling those that they help to send in their insurance checks. The work needed is done with volunteer labor and often donated materials. So even during a disaster relief effort, Watchtower makes money. True not everyone has the proper insurance, but still why not just do the favor and let people keep the insurance money?
curious to know if this is the kathleen desoto that was on the defense (watchtower) side during last week's 35 million dollar judgment for the plaintiffs in the child molestation case.
joel taylor and don herberger (spelling) were also on the borg's side in this case.. https://www.garlington.com/attorneys/kathleen-l-desoto.shtml.
does anyone know if that kathleen desoto has worked with the organization before, or was she just retained because she's local to montana and very highly ranked?.
Under Montana law WT attorneys would have to work under/with a Montana attorney.
