That was a very thought provoking video. I think he raises some very good points, and demonstrates the mindset and culture with an organisation that has been slow to change.

I think there has to be a significant event ,that works as a catalyst, that literally forces us to see the org from a different perspective. Some people receive a shock and learn from it, and others don’t. My shock came in the form a question from well meaning work colleague. I could of just passed it off, and to be honest my life would of been a whole lot easier if I did. 18 months after that question I physically walked out the door, hurt and disillusioned. Sorry but you wife hasn’t had these set of circumstances yet. I wish you the best.

Covid-19 Texas cases spike following George Floyd funeral
by FatFreek 2005 inon tuesday, the george floyd funeral took place.. "on wednesday, texas reported its highest single-day increase in diagnoses since the start of the pandemic, with 2,504 new cases, more than twice as many reported the previous day.
" source, newsweek.com.
just my unprofessional take -- some 30 to 40 percent of attendees did not wear masks.. check for yourself, snippets of video footage, george floyd funeral..

In my country I’m glad the government took the steps it took, to get on top of the situation. There was no tolerance to people who thought quarantine rules didn’t apply to them. One person, who decided to play dumb ass, was publicly named and shamed on TV. Hefty fines were given. The point is that it worked. Covid is all but over in this country, and we are been held up as an example internationally as to how it was handled. Good on us I say, and I’m so thankful I don’t live in the USA.

new situation in world helpful to org?
by Magnum insometimes new situations can provide cover for one’s mistakes or intentions.
for example, suppose that i crack the windshield in my dad’s car one night.
i go home, park the car in its usual spot in the yard, and go to bed without telling my dad because i’m scared and i’m trying to think of a way out of the situation.

The org wouldn’t be silly enough to sanction meetings in homes. This is the main reason why the stopped the book study, as it was just to high of a risk. It is easier for a perpetrator to carry CSA in a private home than it is in a public building with few or no private areas. I’m sorry but I’m my opinion it just isn’t going to happen.
If they have the long term view of becoming an e-religion, so as to free up their cash holdings in property. Now would be the time to do it. But I just can’t see this working either. There is nothing like face to face contact. This could speed the process up even more with people exciting, because of dissatisfaction.

Fading out during the pandemic?
by Kingdavid41 ingiven the current world situation with the covid-19 pandemic and so many social distancing, staying at home and self quarantining.
all meetings are currently being held on zoom assemblies and conventions are viewed via the website .
this is the perfect time to fade-out and you probably won’t even be noticed!

I personally know of a couple where covid was the deciding factor in their physically leaving the cult. Mind you they were already PIMO way before covid started. They just needed a catalyst to push them out the door.

Often we have people turn up in a similar situation to yours. The majority here will advise you against forming a relationship with this person, and for good reason. My advise would be to sit your boyfriend down and discuss the below link. Depending on his reaction will be a good indicator of how the relationship is likely to end up. For example;If he just refuses to watch it or says “These are apostate driven lies, motivated by Satan.”
or
Can openly discuss these concerns and acknowledge that these are people who have been seriously hurt by the culture with in the group. Then this will be you answer.

How have Jehovah`s Witnesses ever gotten away with being a Tax Exempt Religion ?
by smiddy3 ini can never get my head around this one ?
don`t the powers that be ever really investigate religions that claim exemption from paying taxes because they claim they are a not for profit religion ?.
you would have to be a brain dead imbecile not to see that the religion known as the" watchtower bible and tract society" otherwise known as "jehovah`s witnesses" are nothing more than a religious publishing house that have made x amount of $$$$$ over the years since their inception in the late 1800`s to this day.
