we just saw the disney ad on tv.
pimi wife says we never took the kids.
i wanted to reply that we used vacation for conventions and important stuff..
".......of hearing District Overseers at conventions compare taking the family to visit Bethel as the equivalent to going to Disneyland".
This was pretty good coming from them who dont have kids and i said so at the time.
I recall this holiday comment and hearing the big"Whuh?" that came from the audience.
watching in on my wife's zoom meeting last night, there was an item about discipline is love.
they played a 'caleb' animated cartoon and then the instructions were 'if possible, ask selected young children' several questions.. it seems however, that there are no children in my wife's current congregation so the questions were all answered by retired brothers and sisters.
the congregation mainly consists of elderly people (like us) and the few of childbearing age seem not interested in having children.
Last time entered the KH was to see a lot of empty seats and mainly elderly folks there.
i’ve noticed a change in family attitude recently, like there is just something extra on their mind.
i even had to call my brother to check if he was dying and too scared to tell me.
anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.
the end etc.
So this why they are building these TV studios or whatever they are..?
to be a witness you had to accept whatever spiritual food was being dished out.
even if it didn’t make any sense, we were expected to believe.
now that we are out of the cult, do you find yourself a person who doesn’t just accept the status quo?
believe everything.?
and dont forget to be ready to do whatever the octo-popes say even if it does not make sense.."from an earthly perspective"..
no matter if you are tired, sick, worked late, trudging through heavy snow, or any other reason, you were never to miss the meetings.
missing meetings is frowned upon.. i once went to a 2 day assembly with 2 wisdom teeth pulled the day before.
my gums were still bleeding.
Marriage.
recall a couple who attended a Thursday meeting after being married on the Saturday before.
a family who went on holiday but drove back apx 100 kilometres to the Thursday meeting then went back to their holiday the next day.
At the KH being victim to kids with cough, snotty noses and barking coughs.....often.
i have just finished an article misquotes, deception and lies and would like your comments, proof reading, and any other examples that you think are important to add.
most of these already appear on jwfacts.com within specific articles, but it is more powerful seeing them included together.
there have also been a number of requests over the years for such a collection.
Why did the wt ask for early wt CD libraries to be destroyed?
not only college kids but a lot of liberal idiots adults.

i really don’t know of many people who got into therapy because of their jw dealings but i would think that if someone remains depressed or severely affected by their past witness life, it’s not a bad idea to speak to someone to get you on the right path.
i think this site has been very therapeutic for many over the years..
It is vital to ask any counsellor you intend to go to if they are experienced with cults. If they are not they are likely to see the wt as just another religion.
….for the anniversary of george floyd’s death per president biden.
smh .
From this far distance in Australia I feel for all the many little business owners who had their lives work and property smashed by mobs. In my understanding there is no insurance coverage for mob violence.
For what its worth I believe all lives matter.
