the october 2019 study edition, speaking of the last days after the governments destroy all religion except jws:.
at some point, the people whose re-ligions were destroyed may resent thefact that jehovah’s witnesses keep prac-ticing their religion.
we can only imag-ine the uproar that this might create, in-cluding on social media.

when persons are in great danger from a source that they do not suspect or are being misled by those they consider their friends, is it an unkindness to warn them?
they may prefer not to believe the warning.
they may even resent it.
Because of course - they know the real truth about this world and if anyone tries to say otherwise - they are from the devil.
And so they do this
in several congregations i attended many elders were downright evil and flat out drunk with power.. many times i personally knew of things done by them that would have been a disfellowshipping offense had they not been elders.
and even though many times these issues and spiritual atrocities were reported to the co's and hq they would many times (if not all the time), get off with a mere slap on the wrist or a forced apology.. why do you believe elders are so protected?.
my theory is the authority integrity within the congregation.
Tenacious - that could be true but it also could be the lack of men wanting to take the position. It's been about 15 - 20 years I'm guessing that the WT has been begging/shaming men into "reaching out" They have less men wanting the responsibility and so if they kick out the crummy elders, there is no one to take their place.
it is amazing what comes up when i am researching.. i was thinking about the 2 witness rule.
amnon tricked his half-sister tamar to be alone with him and then raped her.
tamar's full brother absalom found out, it is implied by the wts that there had not been 2 witnesses to the rape (hah!).
blondie
Clearly, the fulfilling of Amnon’s passionate, incestuous desire brought no real pleasure to him or to his half sister. And this so often is the case when persons engage in immoral sex relations.
Always putting the blame on the girl. They make it out that she wanted to have sex with him. It's no different when they talk about rape in present day articles. Somehow it's the woman's responsibility to always avoid rape in every circumstance. Never mind if the man stalks her, or has a weapon etc. And then there is this one article about how women should empathize with the rapist - poor guy had a tough life ........
this last tuesday was one of the most stressful and sad days of our life when we had our lab morgan put to sleep.
she was so sick and out of it we just had to do it.
when i called the spca on monday to make a appointment to have her put to sleep i felt like i betrayed her.
Sorry for your loss. Pets big or small give love and happiness. They aren't looking for ways to cheat you or browbeat you like some humans (looking at you WT) they just see you as the center of their universe (ok maybe not cats) and love you.
When they get older, you think if the time comes and they are suffering, you'll just have to put them to sleep (logically) But when the time comes, you waver. Never easy no matter how much you know it's the right thing to do.

17 - "a true christian must make sure that his secular employment has nothing to do with babylon the great.
for example, he would not be an employee of a church.
They was an old article about how Christendom "blesses" pagan objects and uses them in worship. They would integrate objects used in local religions to "welcome" in the locals.
WT is no different. Bless this pagan church and now it's clean for us to worship in it.
have you see the latest fashion for jesus in the wt?.
he's sporting a cape, just like superman!maybe caleb can get a t-shirt with a j logo instead of an s.. .
Holy Moly Batman! Look at the size of those hands! Why do they make them so claw like? Actually the picture is kind of creepy with them all staring like predators.
1.just been listening to this lady's innovtive tool as music instrument.
incredible story too.. https://youtu.be/_nlmm9kcbks.
2.listening to this gives me so much peace and relaxes me .
I like some k-pop - a lot actually
we had a nice long talk and i brought up some things that make me think that this isn't the "truth" and she somewhat agreed with me.
i stuck with things i personally experienced or had knowledge of plus all the changes in recent years.
she agreed on a lot of the points but still believes in god and the bible.
Maybe changing halls will show her other things that she didn't expect. Halls can vary a great deal depending on the elders. My old hall seemed pretty nice but one night I went to another hall because I had missed the mid meeting. What I saw had my head spinning. Too bad I didn't take it as a wake up call.
It seems like you are taking it slow which is good. Hope your endeavors with your wife work out and she gets out.
the wife and i were expecting a health worker to call at our door 10:30 this morning and about 10;35 two women appeared at our door so i opened up thinking they were who i expected ,so i was take back a bit being caught off guard when they identified themselves as doing a bible work.. this is just the gist of what took place & not a word for word conversation.. a woman about in her fifties her companion about her twenties.the older woman did most of the talking as she read to me the scripture from her phone " in the last days critical times hard to deal with...etc.etc.and she went back and emphasised that we were living in the last days because of what that scripture said.. i made the comment that the scripture just about sums up human history in any given time.then i went on to say that this day and age is the best time in human history overall given the advances in technology ,medical procedures ,the overall standard of living being higher and so on .but they insisted on we were living in the last days.then i said different religions have been claiming that for the past couple hundred years.. then to throw them a curve ball i asked if they were mormons ?
oh no we are jehovah`s witnesses.had i been prepared for them and not caught out unawares i would have taken a different tact.i then asked the older woman how long she has been a witness and she said 36 years so i then said to her you must have seen a lot of changes in your religion during that time which she agreed with.
( the light gets brighter).
Didn't they just recently demote Mr. Charles? I think he was no longer considered part of the faithful slave. Haha if they only knew about the drunk Judge Rutherford.
