i believe that many witnesses are tired out or at least tiring out.
i know....... because i am tired out!.
imagine going to college for 20 years not knowing when college is finished.
They are friggin' exhausted. Hearing the same old bs meeting after meeting after meeting. Going to the same doors week after week after week. Hell, the most exhausting thing is just saying the word jehovah over and over and over will wear you out!
just saying!
there are a number of things i find that defy logic when it come to watchtower religion.
here is a list...please feel free to add/subtract from it.
a. blood prohibitions: .
That jehober is a loving god!
That jehober protects his people!
That jehober exists!
just saying!
not to be overly harsh...but if you just left, what the hell were you thinking?
between 1995 and now, you never did an internet search of "jehovahs-witness" or "watchtower"?
good god.

a friend of mine called last night we will call him tom.
he is df now for 2 yrs for associating with a a df person non relative.
anyway he arrived at the meeting this week and was informed by 3 elders that he was no longer welcomed at the hall.apparently he was caught greeting someone in the parking lot after meeting.
Come to the "house of jehober" ----unless you are a sinner!
However it sound like you didn't get the whole story!

“october 1, 1914, on taking his place at the breakfast table in the brooklyn bethel dining-room, he in a strong voice denoting conviction announced: “the gentile times have ended!” “ – watchtower july 15, 1950 page 216 paragraph 1. .

Russell made a lot of bat shit crazy comments in his lifetime and he passed his lunacy on to those who followed him. Makes me ill to think that at one time I believed his crap!

it’s really a bitch when god takes a day off.
he’s supposed to be watching over all things-except when he doesn’t and he can control any situation-except when he doesn’t.. so he gets all the credit for the good things that are and that happen due to his “dynamic energy”.
it must be tiring because he obviously takes days off.
I think God is enjoying this post also as He gives freedom to humans to blame or even to deny His existence.

So he gets all the credit for the good things that are and that happen due to his “dynamic energy”. It must be tiring because he obviously takes days off. And when he does take a breather, bad, really bad things happen. Even his ‘own people’, the ones that he promised to protect, sometimes lose their lives or, even worse, see their loved ones lose life.
Recently here in the USA god has had too much time off and the disasters have really piled up. What happened in Las Vegas is a prime example of what happens when god takes a day off! If you have the power to prevent something evil from happening and you don’t—what does that say about you?

here is an article in the current study copy of the wt.
tell me your thoughts and i will tell you mine.!
this is a topic that i am very sensitive about, as i could never see not protecting my family, even if that meant using whatever means at hand to do so!
So I was approached by our PO 20 years ago or so because I owned(and still own)a hand gun. It's a 9mm for protection and for just the fun of owning it.
In his self righteous way he pointed out to me that it was not scriptural to own a weapon. So of course I asked why and he gave me some of the 'boiler plate' scriptures in this Question from Readers article. So after listening politely, I asked him who created weapons in the first place. "Satan" was his answer. I said "good guess" and I then pointed him to the bible book of Genesis where it plainly says that jehober placed "the flaming blade of a sword that was turning continuously" to guard or protect the garden of eden. Sounded like a weapon to me!

my wife and i were walking up to the original walmart store in bentonville.
its now a museum.
two women were sitting in the park next to a cart.
There is no excuse for bad behavior. Venting your pent up anger on innocent victims (which includes all active jw's) may feel good at the time but human kindness and fellow feeling feels good all the time.

september 11, 2017 to all congregations in the united states re: global assistance arrangement for the 2018 service year.
This arrangement is nothing new. It's been going on for at least 8 years as I recall just before I resigned as an elder!
