my experience was that most jws wanted to have an elder “friend” just in case they got into any “trouble “.kinda like knowing that certain cop who might get you out of a jam.
.
of course there was another group who did everything they could to either kiss the elders’ ass or stonewall them anytime they came snooping around.. how did you and the “older men” get along?.
For me not really, I played the part in service and talks but as I got older they could see I wasn't fulling accepting the religion religiously.
I was taken to the back of the Hall once, told if I didn't get a hair cut I couldn't go out in service or give talks anymore.
I had a 1/2 inch of hair over my ears.
That was the start of my exit.
Born in but faded about at about 20 years old.

Yes return to us so that we can destroy your families and your relationships with relatives or friendships you make at work.
So we can oppress your emotional and intellectual growth, instill fear inducing provocations to and your children if you have any.
So we can manipulate and exploit you to work building are training indoctrination centers (Kingdom Halls)
So we extrapolate money from you , even though you probably need it for yourself in your living necessities.
Take a look at this GB member, does he look like a guy that could harm you ?

Jehovah's spirit was never there with the Watchtower Corporation/Jworg., Satan's spirit was always there, the lies and deceptions are a true indication of that..
in fact, several "wtf"s, not least - why were you visiting a convicted pedophile after his release from prison, never-mind having any contact with him in the first place when his preoclivities seemed to be an open secret.. and the best he can some up with is "i don't remember"?
you don't remember?
there's a fucking photo of you with one of the victims and accessories to the crimes you dumb fuck!.
It appears Maxwell facilitated Epstein's sexual appetite of young girls to keep getting financial favors and important connections from him.
There is no question that she was a part of this exploitative scam and played a pivotal part in the scenario.
If I were her lawyer I would tell her to button her lip and let the Crown prosecution gather information against her, speaking up about the affair will only dig a hole deeper for herself.
What will most likely be a crucial highlight to this case is whether or not those girls were under the legal age of consent.
She may have done something morally repugnant but not necessarily illegal.
a young man in somerset in england, under massive pressure from financial and relationship issues lapsed into mental illness.
he was unlucky enough to have as his support system the local congregation of jehovah's witnesses.
one of the symptoms of his illness was the use of tobacco.
This is sad story to be sure but its not unusual in the world of Jehovah's Witnesses.

The only evidence is in the Bible.
Really ? simple written words by men who lived thousands of years ago, who had to suffer and endure of the ignorance of the world in which they lived ?
The written words in the bible is factual evidence to that inherent ignorance.
Just a thought to ponder upon GB the earth has gone through some dramatic changes in climate in which no organisms (us) could live and hit many times by huge meteorites, one so huge it wiped out just about all living things on the planet.
The question one has to reflectively contemplate, does that sound like an intelligent creator ?

Quite both a sick and sad story where some notable people got mixed up with this exploitative creep.
I'm sure there are a view who are a bit nervous as to how much information Maxwell will spill out.

Two myths do not equate to reality, as spoken hearsay doesn't equate to evidence.

The Watchtower Corporation (JWorg.) has become a long standing commercialized con job to the intellectually wise. $$$
