My question;How did they know the Bachelorette had sex? Do they watch the TV show? Heck I didn’t even know until I google it. LOL!

She is going through a mental and emotional battle. It's not the truth- yes it is- no it's not- yes it is!
You're just going to have to be patient and try to help her along. It's not easy learning the Real Truth for some people. And since it involves deep seated emotions like, living forever in paradise earth, the answer to why there is suffering, an end to wickedness very soon, it makes it even more difficult to let go since no other religion teaches those things exactly like the WT does.

Crap Shoot
by John Aquila inwhat would have happen if i was not home when jehovahs witnesses knocked on my door?.
there was a group of us living in a small trailer in the mid 60s when and old pioneer brother knocked on our door and placed all kinds of books and magazines with us.
all of us took it seriously and studied and started attending the kingdom hall.

I will say to anybody that thinks the religion is "good" because of a success story here and there, this is NO excuse for all the bad that we know is in this religion!
Totally agree LongHairGal

The Governing Body has lost its way.
They were never in the right way.
The governing body has always taught Jerusalem was destroyed in 607 BC
They have always taught there was two exiles, one in 617 BC (See insight book under Daniel)
Another in 607 BC and after that Jerusalem was desolated for 70 years and the 2520 began to count that ended in 1914
But the bible says that there was another exile 5 years after 607 BC ------or 602 BC
So there was no 70 year desolation, no 1914, no appointment of the Faithful and discreet slave. They are just a puny religious cult that is less than 1% of the world population. Less of 1% of a dollar is not even a penny. So no one cares.
So the whole premise that God is using the WT to direct his people is wrong. If anything and if you believe in the Bible, it is part of Babylon the Great Harlot. And the Bible says “GET OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE”
(Jeremiah 52:28-30) . . .These are the people whom Neb·u·chad·rez′zar took into exile:
in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews.
29 In the eighteenth year of Neb·u·chad·rez′zar, from Jerusalem there were eight hundred and thirty-two souls.
30 In the twenty-third year of Neb·u·chad·rez′zar, Neb·u′zar·ad′an the chief of the bodyguard took Jews into exile, seven hundred and forty-five souls.. . .

Strange but Sad!
by John Aquila ini had a couple of elders come visit me about an hour ago.
they wanted to inform me that a brother who was well known throughout the circuit had died.
(i actually knew about it but did not go to the funeral) he was about to hit 90 years old, missed it by a few weeks.

They were not bad people, they were very kind and honest.
You say that and then you describe the way in which they treated their own flesh and blood.
The (parents) were kind and honest---to me and several others- considering that hundreds attended the funeral.
They treated their daughter like that because they were under undue influence.
Just like most of us here were at some point.
I feel the elders are a different story because of their words, “That's what she gets” showed no compassion, “After the fact”
I’m willing to bet if the father knew beforehand he was going to die, he would have called his daughter to say goodbye. And I have a feeling the mother will call the daughter and not wait till January.

Funeral Etiquette
Quote; Visiting the bereaved - should you visit immediately or wait for an invitation?
Not only is it good funeral etiquette but it is common courtesy and caring to call on the bereaved to offer sympathy and help.
Usually about 15 minutes is sufficient time to express your sympathy.

It’s kind of a strange and sad story because when I came into the organization in my teens, (around 15 years old) this brother was giving talks in conventions, was the assembly overseer, pioneering and doing everything he possibly could for the WTS. He lived a very simple and meager life
I’m in my 60s now and I saw this man and his wife conscientiously do everything the WTS asked of him. They were not bad people, they were very kind and honest. He was married at 18 and had a daughter at 19. 16 years later the daughter was disfellowshipped and was never reinstated. Both he and his wife shunned her all their life. She would call once a year, every New Years- January, to see how they were doing. They would say; “We’re doing find” and ask her if she was ready to come back to Jehovah’s organization. She would say “No” and they would hang up on her. She had two brothers who are JWs. One ran off with a non-jw married woman, and was reproved. These two brothers have also shunned their sister all their lives. But she was the Firstborn.
I was told there was over 300 Jws that attended the funeral, but the daughter was not there. I asked the elders if they contacted the daughter to tell her that her father had died. They said “NO” We are not under obligation to contact a disfellowship person. They said, “She will have to find out when she calls next January.”
Then they said, “That what she gets for leaving Jehovah’s Organization.
I don’t feel sorry for these people. Cult or no cult, normal human behavior tells you this is wrong.
I hope they learn TTATT on the last 15 minutes of their death bed.

They lie about everything, why don’t they lie about annual publisher growth?
by John Aquila injwfacts show that publisher growth was 15% pre- 1975 and has decline to about 2%.
what prevents them from fudging the annual growth and keeping it at something more positive like 10%?.
"a great crowd that no man is able to number".

I think a better phrased question might be, "They lie about everything else, why wouldn't they lie about annual publisher growth?"
That makes absolute sense Vidiot.
