In the words of Pauline Hanson { for ozzie posters } "Please Explain" ? TruthMatters why you are still a JW? and defending the organization ? in saying the above comments and posting on this forum ?
And if you said any of this openly in a congregation you would be DF, correct ?
Sorry Rocketman I didn`t realise you had posted what you did.
when 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 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.

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.
i 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 ?
i am an atheist, but want to respond in as kindly a way as possible.. i was thinking along the lies of saying i got no comfort from what i knew to be false hope, but need to say it in a kindly way.. ideas please ?.
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 .

JW`s just want to be different from other xian religions.
with the built of new jw.org media studio's we can predict the future of the jw religion.. because we are living in an age of digital media, what will be the effect of this all?.
will the religion generate a new population?

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.
