I have two neighbors on each side completely opposite of each other. One one side is a hard core PIMI Elder, 89 years old retired accountant according to him.

On the other side I have a 65 year old agnostic retired business owner. We’ve talked several times and he has made it clear that out of all religions, he believes that if there is one religion that has the truth, it is the Jehovah’s witnesses.

The reason being according to him is because they show you from the bible that there is no fiery Hell, that Death is just the common grave, that God is going to make the earth a paradise and remove evil people from the earth forever.

He is especially impress with their dress and grooming. He explained to me that the bible teaches that if we want to be true followers of Jesus, we must not be part of the world. And the Way the Jehovah’s Witnesses remain separate from the world is by the way they dress, their grooming, and the way they comport themselves. The men are always clean cut, shaven, shirt and tie even when it’s hot. And all the women, you can tell they spend hours primping in front of the mirror just to look pretty and sophisticated when they come to your door to talk about God.

It’s been a few years since he has talked to them, since his work keeps him really busy.

Yesterday I was walking around the neighborhood and he was working on his lawn. So I stopped and we chatted for a while. Then a bunch of cars stopped across the street. I told my neighbor, “Hey, I think it’s the Jehovah’s Witnesses”

We kept waiting for them to get out of their car, and when they did, you have these two older men with scruffy beards, shirt with no tie, some type of black sports tennis shoes, with no book bags. And the wives, I assume, are in pants, some of them wearing what looked like sports tennis shoes. The other two cars the same thing.

My neighbor says, “No brother you’re wrong, these people don’t dress like Jehovah’s witnesses, they look like some type of recruitment cult.

I was cracking up inside cause I knew.

We stayed there until they came to us and the first thing my neighbor asked; “Who do you represent?” They said “We are Jehovah’s Witnesses!”

And then my neighbor got real upset. He started questioning them; “What the Hell Happened to YOU? You all used to be NO PART OF THE WORLD. Now you’ve become part of the world so the world can love you as it own. And he continue with disparaging remarks for about 10-15 minutes until they excused themselves and walked away.

At least, when they dressed up to go knock on doors, they looked more trusting, more serious about God. But now, in these days, when trust is on the bottom of the barrel, who wants to talk to a couple of Strange scruffy beard men, no tie, scruffy hair, with no bible in their hand. How many people with a Ring Doorbell will even answer the door??

Did the Governing Body even consider this. Or…..do they just not care anymore because they are PLANNING TO DELETE DOOR to DOOR IN THE FUTURE?????

This is what made those years Great for the Watchtower

NO INTERNET!

The Great Crowd that no man would be able to number seem like it was happening

Two day Kingdom Halls every other week proved the Great Crowd was being fulfilled!

The Generation that saw and understood 1914 would not die

Spiritual Food at the proper time Two Awakes and Two Watchtowers every month delivered to your door.

Watchtower mag. Questions from readers were sincere questions asked by publishers

Awake mag. Watching the World was like our internet before the internet.

The Catholic Church was exposed for Child Sex Abuse, but Watchtower was clean because there was NO INTERNET!

Gilead was a big deal, as well as Special pioneering.

We had District Overseers.

And then the 90s came and everything went to hell because the Internet began to open to the public in 1991, with general use starting to increase significantly around 1993-1994 when websites for everyday use became available.

And then we started seeing the first Cracks in the Watchtower Organization.

Awake October 22 1995 read on the mast head;

This magazine builds confidence in the Creator’s Promise of a peaceful and secure New World BEFORE THE GENERATION OF 1914 PASSES AWAY

TO

Awake November 1995

This magazine builds confidence in the Creator’s Promise of a peaceful and secure New World THAT IS ABOUT TO REPLACE THE PRESENT WICKED LAWLESS SYSTEM OF THINGS.

They removed BEFORE THE GENERATION OF 1914 PASSES AWAY

A FEW YEARS AFTER THAT……...THE OVERLAPPING GENERATION WAS INTRODUCED.

AND THAT MARKED THE END OF THE GOLDEN YEARS OF THE WATCHTOWER ORGANIZATION and The Beginning of the downward spiral!

A JW acquaintance saw a TV series I recommended, and several months later I saw him and he told me he saw the show I recommended. I asked him what he thought of it. He said it was terrible and was glad it was just a TV show…………...Until he started doing research on the show, and found out it was not fiction. The name of the show was titled 1883.

The show was about a family joining other people to move West and claim free land that the USA Government promised to anyone that moved there.

In real history, it’s called The Oregon Trail. It was a 2,000-mile-long graveyard. The total number of people who traveled West on the trail was as high as 420,000 people. About 10% of pioneers died along the way, an average of more than 20 graves per mile. The people died due to harsh conditions, disease, snake bites, tornadoes, accidents, drowning, robbers, and conflicts with Indians. Husbands were killed, wives and daughters were raped, and children were kidnapped and sold.

The JW said the movie had a profound effect on his and the entire family’s beliefs. Mostly because they portray the families as innocent men, women, and children that are just trying hard to look for a better life. And these innocent people died in the worst way possible.

The entire family started to question if Jehovah really protects them or if they have shelter, food, and health because of luck and the fact they they just happened to be born in the USA. A Country with more resources than other Countries?

The young girl narrating her experience and seeing all the innocent children, mothers, and fathers die as a result of accident, ignorance, or luck is trying to figure out why a God of love would Create such a beautiful World and at the same time, a world filled with evil.

So she said this and it’s what made the JW man and wife consider their life as Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Elsa Dutton Quote, TV series 1883

"I told myself, when I meet God, the first thing I will ask him. Why make a world of such beauty, and fill it with monsters?"

"Why make flowers and then snakes to hide beneath them?

What purpose does the tornado serve?"

("And then it hit me. He didn't make it for us." )

At some point in life, many people eventually realize that the world might not have been tailored for human existence or happiness.

This realization can lead to a sense of existential freedom or despair.

It will all depend on one's perspective.

But it invites a reevaluation of our place in the universe, suggesting that perhaps we were NOT created in God Image, and our purpose or meaning must be self-derived rather than (“Divinely ordained.”)

And the realization that men who claim to know what God wants, are just evil people deceiving us.

Genesis 38 Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

7 Now Er, Judah’s firstborn, was evil in the Lord’s sight, and the Lord put him to death.

8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and produce offspring for your brother.”

9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his, so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife,he released his semen on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.

10 What he did was evil in the Lord’s sight, so he put him to death also.

In the meantime;

A man named Mao Zedong 1946-1976 killed up to 70 million mothers, fathers and Children.

A man named Stalin1922-1953 killed up to 60 million mothers, fathers, and chidren

And Jehovah did nothing because he was busy watching who was wasting his semen on the ground or watching porn.

If Jehovah refused to save 130 million mothers, fathers,and children from TWO RUTHLESS DICTATORS.

Why would This God save 9 million people,whose only distinguishing marks that separates them from the rest of the world is;

They cover up child sexual abuse.

They break up families with their shunning ideology.

And they are responsible for the deaths of thousands because of their man made doctrine that teaches them that they must die, instead of taking a blood transfusion, if that’s what’s needed to save their own lives.

DENIAL!

I kind of remember when I was still a young kid, and we were not JWS yet, my mom was reading the story of Samson to me. And she read this part.

Judges 15:15 Finding a fresh jawbone of a donkey, he grabbed it and struck down a thousand men.

I remember I asked my mom; “Why didn’t the soldiers just shoot arrows at him from far off, instead of getting close to him.

My mom froze and thought about it, so she calls to dad and he comes in and she tells him to answer my question. He looks perplexed, and smiles and says, “Well how about that, I never thought of that, I have no idea son why they didn’t just shoot arrows. A Thousand men could shoot a thousand arrows and put him down instantly….It makes no sense!”

“Maybe it’s like those Kung-Fu movies where one guy fights a bunch of men, but each man takes turns, they don’t all rush him at once.”…………..and we left it at that.

And that was my first experience of being introduced to a bible story. It made no sense!

All the other Samson stories, like the foxes he lit on fire, tearing a lion apart with his bare hands, his long hair, the riddles, etc., just don’t make sense.

Did the Samson story raise some Red flags for you?

I totally believed that Jehovah was watching over me and those I loved because I was totally loyal to the Organization.

And situations confirmed that what I believed was true.

For example, the most beautiful girl in the Circuit who was also a regular pioneer, had turned down several Ministerial Servants, a couple of young elders, several Bethlites, and then she started dating this one Ministerial Servant, that had just returned from Bethel, was regular pioneering and was six foot five inches tall, and looked like a Greek God walking among us mere mortals.

Then one day after a very discouraging pioneer day, I came home and prayed to Jehovah to please bless me with the beautiful girl everybody wants.

Then on the next convention, here comes the girl that everybody wanted, and she is walking straight to me. She stops right next to me and introduces herself. And then she starts talking and telling me everything about her self. And we talk till the convention starts again. But before we go back to our seats, she gives me her phone number and tells me to call her and to come visit her.

I went to my seat and said; “THANK YOU JEHOVAH”

I was convinced Jehovah was looking after me.

And there was this time when I started a small business, and by shear luck and timing, I started making tons of money. And I said’ “THANK YOU JEHOVAH”

Now that I’m awake, I see things in the World, and I say to myself NO WAY JEHOVAH WAS LOOKING AFTER ME.

For example

I normally don’t see the news, but a few months ago I saw on the news, that a man driving a Big Rig, with no license, didn’t speak or read our native language, doing cocaine while driving the Big Rig, and on his phone, plowed into several cars killing a total of sixteen people. They showed a picture of a Mother, a Father, a grand mother, and three children going on a vacation. And they showed the pictures of the children, a baby, a five year old and a 10 year old, and this made me say; THERE IS NO WAY JEHOVAH WAS LOOKING AFTER ME.

And I believe this is the main reason why many JWS still believe that they will Not Die before the Great Tribulation.

They believe their loyalty to the Organization guarantees they will not see death.

DID YOU BELIEVE JEHOVAH WAS WATCHING OVER YOU?

I have a lot of ex-jw friends from the 60/70s who woke up because they started reading the bible seriously

A lot of it had to do with a Sign on top of one of WT buildings that “READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY”

Well guess what……….they did read it daily and woke up.

And the difference is that when one of the family members woke up, Husband or Wife, the spouse had no problem looking at the facts about the bible not being inspired.

It wasn’t like today when one Spouse wakes up about the Watchtower and the other spouse starts pointing the finger at you and calls you apostate.

A lot of my friends tell me that when they started reading the bible daily, they immediately starting seeing how crazy Jehovah was. The atrocities he committed on the innocent, but always protected the wicked people.

And either the husband would share this with his wife, or the wife would share this with her husband, and they would sit down and talk about it for days, until one of them would say, “WE CAN’T BE A PART OF THIS BOOK”

And if He was an elder, he would just call the body of elders and tell them straight out, “We’ve come to the conclusion that the Bible is not the inspired Word of God, and we are not going to be attending anymore. And he would explain why. Then the elders would tell him that they needed to meet, and he would tell them,

“Don’t you understand, your playbook is a collection of stories written by ancient ignorant men. We can’t be a part of any organization that uses the Bible as their MORAL COMPASS TO LIVE BY. It’s a sick book, and the God of the bible is a Psychopath.”

And they wouldn’t meet. And none of them ever got disfellowshipped.

But here is the thing. All the ones that woke up from the bible first, stayed married, went on to live a normal life, raise a normal family, didn’t fall to any of the commands from the Watchtower that can derail one’s life. Most of them are on their last days of life. But their kids and grandkids with whom I hang around with are just normal (Never been a Jehovah Witness) people.

What interesting, is about a decade after this, Ray Franz started figuring out the 1914 was based on the mistaken date of 607. Ray Franz had no idea that it went deeper than the Watchtower.

Ray Franz had no idea that it was the Bible that was the culprit for not only the Watchtower’s policies and ideologies, but it was also the book that has all Christianity enslaved to other crazy ideas like a burning Hell where people will be thrown to burn forever. And it is also the book responsible for all the inquisitions that killed and tortured tons of good people.

I think it’s easier and less controversial to wake someone up from the Bible, than it is to wake someone up from the Watchtower. And if you can prove the bible is not inspired of God, then there is no reason to even bring the Watchtower into the picture.

If you are out camping with forty one other persons, and two angry bears come out and grab two out of the forty two people, and start mauling them and chewing them up, tearing their arms and faces off, what will the 40 people seeing two bears mauling two of their associates do?

Will they just stand there and wait until it’s their turn to be mauled?

Or will they all run like hell?

They will all run like hell and probably in different directions.

That means that for this story to be true, the two bears in the bible, would have to go on a search and hunt mission and catch each of the 42 total number of kids in order to maul all of them. And being that the kids went in different directions, we are now talking a Horror flick where two bears hunt down 40 teens…...the same teens that escaped Michael Myers, in Halloween.

The only way that account can be true is if all the kids gathered in a straight line and wait their turn for the bears to maul them.

Either the writer of this story was a total moron, or he was just writing a story to scare children.

Then it's possible that in time, other superstitious people turned the story into a “God Inspired Writing”

It’s not far fetched to believe that some people turned these types of stories into “True Stories”

Because even today in modern times, there have been groups of people that told stories about Smurfs dolls coming to life and running out the Kingdom Hall, and people believed it was true. 😒

2 Kings 2: 24 Elisha He turned around, looked at them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the children.

From what I understand, last new light change was that the publishers don’t have to count their time anymore, but the pioneers still keep counting their time.

Forgive me if there is new light that has changed this also, but I can’t seem to keep up with Jehovah’s Chariot. One day you can NOT store blood, and the next day, you can store all the blood you can afford.

What’s next….you can not have a blood transfusion…..but you can drink all the blood you want??? 😒

That being said, Why did Watchtower eliminate the need for publishers to record their time, but didn’t eliminate the same thing for Pioneers?

I believe that the Watchtower is just following a successful tested tactic that actually works.

Sales Corporations select the Top Salesmen/Women as models to emulate through imitation.

War heroes who come back with missing limbs are given medals of honor so others can follow their bravery.

Watchtower follows suit by creating the "Pioneer" status to insidiously encourage as many members as possible, especially the YOUNG - boys/Men/Girls/Women, to do the same thing with their life.

By putting the most gullible men and women in the organization, that are willing to work their entire life for free, for a multi-billion Dollar Corporation--on a Pedestal ---- (Pioneers, Circuit Overseers, Branch Overseers, GB Helpers, and Governing Body Members// Eternal Kings of the Universe) 😒…

They are able to easily Hook more gullible young fish to throw away their life and become serfs to the Human lords who have NO ties whatsoever to an Everlasting, Immortal, God.

So next time you talk to a pioneer, or the Circuit Overseer, that may make you feel like you can do more for the organization……..just remember, it’s about feeling sorry for them. It’s about trying to help them wake up if you have the opportunity without hurting yourself or hurting them. Because these kinds of people are the sort of people that are extra gullible than most. They are the ones that are throwing away their youth, their life, and will probably wake up when it’s to late to do anything about it.

I personally can’t help but to see the young beautiful 18 year old girl, with such a kind, personality, who loves children, loves life, and signs up to pioneer. Only to see her 15 years later, single, starting to get gray hair and wrinkles around her eyes, hoping the New order comes before she turns 40.

Or the young, handsome, strong, muscular, 18 year old boy, who volunteers to go work for free at WT headquarters, only to see him sent home at 40, single and can barely take care of himself, let alone care for a wife.

If you are a Jehovah Witness, and are young and visiting, and reading this, Don’t throw away your life by working for a Multi-Billion-Dollar Corporation FOR FREE!

Go get Good at something, become a master at something humans need and will pay for your services. And live a good life free from slavery.

I’ve known young JW men who just turned 20-22 years of age, and had been working 2-3 years in the trades as electricians, plumbers, HVAC, And the parents would come up to me , jumping for joy because their kids were accepted to go work for the Watchtower. I believe they were trying to encourage me to do the same. But I was on my way out and no way I was going to work for free for years

And I remember telling the parents, look your kids have 3-4 years experience working as electricians. They are making good money now, but just a few more years and they can get their master’s license and start their own business. They will make a lot more. Or if they don’t want to start their own business, some corporations pay over 100k a year for master electricians. If they go work for the Watchtower, they won’t get the real experience they need and it will derail their future.

And I always got the same response from several parents, “In five years this system will be over”

I made it a point to talk to the kids and they really liked the idea of pursuing the course of master electrician. They did not want to go work for free for the next 5 years. But they were guilt trip into going for 5 years.

One of them was sent home just a few months before his 5^(th) year ended because he fell and got seriously injured. To this day he has a hard time walking and can’t do the work of an electrician. And the Watchtower didn’t help him financially. And sad to say, he still believes the end will come in the next 5 years.

His brother went through something over there and he got addicted to drugs. Came back and they disfellowshipped him and his parents cut ties with him, and still keep their distance from him. It’s been over 20 years. He’s had a very hard life.

At the same time there was this jw kid who was “Spiritually Weak” didn’t like field service, hated door to door, the girls treated him like a plague, and his parents were ashamed of him, and he never got baptized. He also went the route of electrician. He’s in his 40s now. And last I heard, he works at some Data Center they are building with a starting salary 270,000 dollars a year. Has a family and kids who are not Jehovah Witnesses and are pursuing the same thing their dad is doing.

And his parents love him Now and don't think he is spiritually weak………...because he helps them financially.

When you see real life experiences like this play out, it’s disturbing when you read on this website of children getting baptized at age 8, 10, 13……

Their life is getting derailed and it will be very hard for them to find real joy.

Something that I figured out about the Watchtower's success.

They only need a few million ignorant and gullible people to succeed.

Their continual existence since their official start in 1879 has all depended on a few gullible people to support them with monies.

As of today, their total membership has not passed 10 million baptized members. And that is enough for them to become a multi-Billion Dollar empire. Some say they have passed the 50 Billion Dollar mark and that within the next decade they will hit the 100 Billion dollar mark.

If they set aside only 10 Billion dollars for their professional money managers to invest and get an annual return of only 10 Percent....that's One Billion Dollars for just sitting on their ass spouting nonsense about the time of the End on JW TV Broadcast.

That doesn't include all the millions that Governments are forced to give them for being a religious organization and the hundreds of millions the members DONATE, and IT'S ALL TAX FREE.

And don't forget all the free labor!

JW or any other Christian Religion always urges us with passion, to call on the God of Justice and Compassion for HELP through prayer, and he will Answer

But the bible shows us another picture.

The God of Justice and Compassion example one;

2 Samuel 12 Behold, I will stir up evil against you from your own household; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight ….and the son that is born to you shall certainly die

This was the account of David’s adultery with Bathsheba. But if you are hoping for Justice, you will not find any justice in this account. This account is not about Jehovah punishing King David for using his power as King to force a lowly woman like Bathsheba to have sex with him. And hiding his act of adultery by using his position as King to Murder Bathsheba’s Husband, Uriah.

This account is about Jehovah punishing Bathsheba, her Baby, and David’s other wives who had no idea what the Hell was going on.

(David’s other wives were probably shocked when someone told them; (David your husband committed a sin, and Jehovah is going to punish you all by letting some men rape you very soon….so suck it up!) …..😒

How is it justice to put all the women who were David’s wives in a situation where they would be sexually assaulted for the sin David committed. And what about the unborn baby in Bathsheba womb, what did the baby do to deserve death? And Bathsheba no doubt went though a lot of pain when Jehovah murdered her baby.

What kind of Justice and Compassion is this…..Really! To punish a bunch of women and a baby for a sin they didn’t commit. But allow David the murdererer and adulterer to continue as King.

David did the unthinkable! No only did he steal a man’s wife, but this was not just any man. It was a man that was Very faithful to Jehovah. Uriah had so much love and faith in Jehovah that he was more than willing to put his life on the line and go fight all the wars of Jehovah while David sat home in his ivory tower. And Uriah accepted that because it was Jehovah’s arrangement. Like the GB today who do nothing by give talks on TV.

Now think about this you husbands. If a leader appointed by Jehovah like an elder or a GB member used his position to have sex with your wife, then he got her pregnant, and this leader, GB or Elder, manipulated events to have you murdered, would you say The God of Justice and compassion was actually executing Justice and compassion for you.

And what if Jehovah allowed this man to continue with his appointment and become a prince or king in the New Order.

And eventually Paradise came, and you were resurrected to live on paradise, but you had to remain single FOREVER, (because the resurrected are like angels and can never marry) 😒

And you see your former beloved wife with the man who murdered you, happy and having sex with her forever………….how would you feel about Jehovah? Would he be a God of Justice and compassion?

If this God is truly real, then watch out all you wives. Because you will be walking on a thread. Because if your husband commits adultery...You Wives might be the ones who Pay the price for your husband’s indiscretion, just like King David's wives paid the price for his sin.

So next time some JW tells you to pray to the God of Justice,,,,,,Think about this account!
