I remember one in the second congregation my wife and I attended going back to the 60`s. We were a young couple and going through some money troubles at the time and he offered to help get us back on our feet with a loan which I declined .He was an assistant cong.O/seer a really very nice guy.

Jehovah’s Witnesses That Acted Like Humans
by minimus inwhen you look back , did your witness associates act like normal human beings?
did any of them ever show compassion and feelings for a disfellowshipped person?.
any elders ever try to be kind to you, not “kind” as watchtower organization dictates, but truly kind and caring for you if you were experiencing difficulties?

I have little respect for the GB, since they have CONTINUED was they goofy opinions ('Overlapping-generations'), have dumbed down the meetings, and even the newest version of the NWT!
So what part of the Jehovah`s Witness religion is the "Truth" ?
When exactly did they ever have the "truth?
In Russells day ? Rutherfords day? Knorr`s day ? Nothing any of those guys taught and preached is beleived as "True" by Jehovah`s Winesses today .
So they were false prophets then , and still are.

Non Believers, how do you respond ?
by Phizzy ini recently had this in a message from a jw, a lovely person, but mind controlled, he wrote " a life without hope is no life for me".. how should i respond to that ?

Aren`t hope and faith akin to each other ? and if either is based on a falsehood of what benefit is it ?
I would rather have no hope and no faith than to deceive myself with a false hope and false faith .

I was in Melborne Vic .Australia with my experience and that`s about 60 years ago now.
And no, for all you naysayers out there, I`m not ready for the funny farm just yet .

I think Vidiot got it right on another post Gorby.
Ten bucks says that if they follow through on it, it gets sold to a mainstream movie or TV studio (for a profit) within a decade. You gotta admit, it's a step up from flipping Kingdom Halls.
