i been reading quite a few experiences on reddit lately, and their seems to be a common theme coming up….
…dialed-up-to-eleven shunning of xjws by their witness relatives.. it reminds me of back in the day, listening to some of the over-the-top vitriol displayed by hard-core loyalists when the topic of evolution or apostates came up….
…i was gobsmacked when i finally realized these guys weren’t offended and indignant because they thought it was lies….
Videot:
…they were angry and hostile because, deep down, they were afraid it was true.
Yes!
My family have told me most violently and categorically that even if I proved conclusively and scripturally that they do not have 'the truth' they will still go on believing that it is 'the truth'.... 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

Ah yes, I remember that!
There are a couple of pics of Christmas at bethel. I've had a go at colourising one or two:

"Brothers, we feel supremely confident that our new Red Light will bring many more to a glorious climax."
i would like to know if there are any ex's or formers who still appreciate good manners and respectfulness?
but i hope this question isn't offensive to this forum.
.
Did anyone ever go out in service with Brother Foot-in-the-Door or Sister Insult-the-Christendom-Householder?
Yes. I was on the ministry with an older brother in the cong that I really admired.
He had gravitas, was debonair and was respected by all.
However...
Whilst on the ministry with him one day a little old lady answered the door and yelled at him "Get off my step immediately - you jw's can teach me nothing!"
To my great surprise my partner lifted up the letterbox and shouted, "I could teach you some manners you miserable old cow!"
He then went to the next door as if nothing had happened..🤷♂️
put in your bets as to where you think lard i mean lloyd evans will land after december's drop in his patrons.
in september he started at 457 patrons, did his whiny begging fest and peaked at 478, but then dropped down to 439 at the beginning of october.
as of this moment (nov. 6), he's at 427 paid members.. so, where do you think he'll be on december 2nd?
Great suggestion!👍
Nice one Stan.🤣
Much more accurate!👍
i would like to know if ex's and formers who are not church christians, believe that many of jws' doctrines and bible interpretations are correct, or do you feel that they aren't?

Riley:
The whole " Other sheep " and " Little Flock " being the heavenly hopers and the earth hopers , 1914 and 1919, just became too bloody stupid for any real student of the bible. The WTS at its core is just voiding the new testament for anyone but the governing body.
Couldn't agree more! 👍👍👍

Many thanks for the most interesting info about Rutherford.
Some today may worry that they will feel lost or abandoned when anointed brother Rutherford is resurrected and bans Christmas all over again"
