unbelievable admissions.. freddie confesses he fell for his own propaganda.. https://youtu.be/fkjw-r9oitk.
With all of those admissions of failed "expectations" of prophecy at a convention its mind boggling why any of them stayed in the religion.
And not once was there ever an apology given for misleading so many over so many decades.
Yet it was still highlighted as spiritual encouragement ?
dear brothers, july 27, 2020. in 1919, the president of the watchtower society made a bold prediction, “millions now living will never die”.
that quotation was constantly repeated by the organization till the year 2000 when they realized that everyone in attendance at that assembly, who listened to j.r. rutherford repeat those words, are dead.. that teaching has guided my life.
statements were repeatedly made at assemblies, conventions and in print that there was no career in “this system of things” so you don’t need a job with benefits or retirement, your fulltime job is to “preach the good news”!
Well said JJ ,I myself DA`d some years ago in fact many years after I had just left along with my wife many,many, years previously. To me it was a statement that I had DF`d the religious organization .I dont buy into the thought that your playing into there hands at all and that they have power over you ,I think its the other way round.
Everyone who DA themselves is a statement that they are not getting anymore support from you financially or otherwise .And that must hurt ,their pockets at least.
My wife never DA herself and nobody and I mean nobody has ever tried to contact her to come back to Jehovah or the congregation meetings and its been 27 years now.
And I have no doubt they know about us because we had a niece who was active while living here but since moved away .
Oh, and in the mid 70`s we actually lived here ourselves for a year and were a part of the then congregation .
Good luck to you and your wife buddy
take care.

I think they will find a way to bring in tithing with some nu-lite BS .
i have a niece who is trying to get pregnant.
she was telling me her husband had to go to a room with porn in it and masturbate into a cup to get tested.
i never thought of this before but but how would a jw handle this.
how would a JW handle this. ? If he takes his cue from Bethel he might just use a pillow ?
Then again it might be whether he`s left or right handed ?

Posted: Jul 9, 2020 / 10:23 PM PDT / Updated: Jul 19, 2020 / 11:22 AM PDTLAS VEGAS (KLAS) — For the first time in the history of the Jehovah’s Witnesses religious organization, they will be holding their worldwide annual conventions virtually.
just a quesiton: can disfellowshipped individuals attend the video meetings.
if they can, do they have to turn off their video and sound?
can they attend with their family?
leonard warwick has been found guilty for a number of bombings committed during the 1980’s, including the family court bombing and the jehovah’s witnesses casula congregation kingdom hall bombing on 21 july 1985 which killed the public speaker, graham wykes, and injured 13 others.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-23/leonard-warwick-family-court-bomber-found-guilty/12483286.
side note: i have been closely following this story for 35 years now, including the past few years of supreme court hearings, much of which dealt with the jehovah’s witnesses kingdom hall bombing..
I remember when news came through that a bombing had occurred in a Kingdom Hall and one person died and there were many casualties .Wondering what`s next ? And is this the prelude to what`s more to come ?And I was living in a different state back then.
It wasn`t long before the JW rumor machine pinned the blame on the sisters unbelieving ex? husband for blowing up the family law court as well as the KH explosion.,because he was incensed at the courts ruling and the help his wife got from members of the Jehovah`s Witnesses.He was no friend of the JW`s at all.
Sure, 35 years is a long time for justice to be served especially for the victims family members to wait.
I guess the law at the time just did not have enough evidence to make the charges stick back then ,because I do believe he was on there radar for a very long time as a prime suspect.
the sopranos was my number one show.
to me it was the best series ever.
for a good laugh, i still enjoy the beverly hillbillies reruns.
The Waltons ,The Adam`s Family. The honeymooners ,The Jackie Gleason Show, the old Lost In Space , the old Dr.Who, the old Star Trek series. The Twilight Zone , Mr. Ed , The Mary Tyler Moore Show.The Andy Griffiths Show.
F Troop ,Dobie Gillis .
