Very thought inspiring comment John. It shows that ex JWs are not vindictive people who want to harm current JWs just for the sake of principle. In my opinion, Karma and all that applies to your thoughts. BTW the 20's year old Elder and his family are 'game' for TTATT as far as i am concerned.

Film clip of Governing Body speaking at future District Assembly
by JWchange inin the future, it could be the case that the wtbts has sold all of its assets including kingdom halls, branch offices, and stocks to pay lawsuits.
there is a schism in the religion.
membership of original jws has dwindled however the die hards remain loyal, unemployed, poor, dressed in rags.

To keep them on track, a new Armageddon prediction is made. The talk would go something like this…. Please watch (if you like Brit humour) it’s very funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hJQ18S6aag

I don’t know if you are aware but I was informed recently that JW Governing Body member Tony ‘pants’ Morris was in a safari park in Africa. He stumbled across a skinny hungry looking lioness with cubs nearby. Not seeing a way to escape, he got on his knees and started praying, pleading for help. ‘Jehovah, Most High, please show to the world what you think of your true religion, and us humble faithful and discreet slave class. If it be your will, please perform a miracle.’
To his amazement the lioness got on her knees and also started praying and speaking, ‘Jehovah, my cubs and I are truly grateful for this superb meal. ’ -

Has anyone watched this SciFi series? Has it helped anyone wake up to TTATT? i woke up many years ago, however this incredible series reinforces my beliefs about religion. Which is why I'm not religious.
There are many parallels to the Governing Body (however well intentioned they may be as individual persons), Delusional, based on brainwashing perhaps. Many parallels with Stargate SG1. Any thoughts?

How Jehovah's Witnesses could become a huge mainstream religion without harming people. Any thoughts?
by JWchange inif jws did the following, i believe they would grow exponentially and become one of the largest 'religions' on earth : .
1. no more dfing or shunning......its up to your conscience who you like or don't like.
in the same way if i was catholic living in ireland, i wouldn't hang out with my neighbor if she was a drunk fornicator, just had an abortion, had a taliban boyfriend and also supported liverpool soccer club.

Specifically the latter.
2. No more 'ministry' going house to house or street witnessing.
3. Spend 10-130 hours every month helping fellow human beings practically, emotionally and financially who are NOT JWs or family members. And optionally fill an S8 every month re above.
Universal Unitarians on steroids? 50% of the current JW cong would be auxiliary pioneers half the year. What do you think?

Good question! If ‘God’ means the Creator (or a Being) that caused or kick started life…YES. Using Drake’s equation, I am of the opinion there is a good probability of highly intelligent life on other planets and other dimensions, some benevolent others malevolent, that have the technology to do this. The Stargate SG1 series actually helped awaken me. I am also of the opinion there are certain substances such as ayahuasca (which some indigenous tribes called Yahweh), which open mental portals to these beings. Possibly why almost every mainstream religion is against ‘Spiritism.’
Most scientists (superstring theory) currently believe there are 10 or 11 dimensions including time. Some believe that when Universes interact (watch Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman), new Universes are born. If there is a multiverse of universes, or potentially infinite Universes, there is a high probability a particular Being or Beings that have existed billions of years, have mastered the technology to create life, prolong theirs ‘for ever’, create other universes and possibly time travel. Look what Humans have achieved in one hundred years. Assuming we don’t blow ourselves up, and finally get world peace and unlimited energy, what can be achieved in 1000, 1 million or 1 billion years? If we had unlimited energy, Venus could be terraformed as the next overflow planet for humans to thrive.
Furthermore, there is possibly an automation of things in the Universe/Multiverse, best explained by ‘The Force’ in Star Wars movies, Karma in Buddhist belief, Holy Ghost/Spirit in Christian belief. If a PHD student in 1 million years’ time, had a thesis to create life as intelligent as him, terraform a plant on a galaxy far far away, and allow free will, the questions this thesis could answer are: do I give them freewill? Do I allow war or holocausts? Do I allow a resurrection so that life that died due to bad luck or evil, get another chance?
Please do not think I sit at home all day watching Sci Fi and Discovery Channel smoking Weed. It’s just an opinion, to invite comment. I am not suggesting I am right. However, what I do feel very strongly that I am right on, is a highly intelligent God/Creator has NOT appointed the Governing Body of JW’s to be the one and only true religion on planet Earth, and God’s mouth piece for the Human Race.
So management summary of your question: YES. and if He/She gave me and my children life..I appreciate it. -

Annulment of baptism for a minor?
by Tornintwo ini've seen references to baptism annulment on a few websites, does anyone know if there has ever been a successful annulment of a baptism?.
eg.
a minor claims they didn't understand a key wtbts teaching prior to baptism, is there any realistic chance of annulment?

Dear Tornintwo.
I very much sympathize as i was baptized very young. See Paul Grudy;s story. He owns the excellent JWfacts website. http://jwfacts.com/watchtower/experiences/grundy.php . The Borg's attitude will likely be it's too late. You're a JW whether you like it or not.
Depending on your citizenship there may be legal remedies for 'leverage purposes', however if you are American the Borg will defend with 1st amendment. Paul is Australian and it appears he had no legal case.
i pray one day this injustice of child baptisms, where kids enter into a contract with the Borg without knowing all the facts, will end. i wish you well buddy.
