Thanks for your story, seeing how your son was treated reminds me of how i was treated as a fatherless boy. The elders do not appreciate free thinking. They are very oppresive and they never stop picking on you. Even now, my little brother has extrmely sensitive skin and cannot shave daily and they are so harsh on him. Nothing has changed and I'm tired of this life

In 1977 aged 16 ,I actually got caught for pinching a pair of thongs ,my agnostic atheist family never shunned me. In 1988 aged 27 Watchtower hijacked my mind, I dissociated in 2018 aged 57 now I get shunned by all my wife's JW friends in the Kingdom Hall car park.

@@evaarnold5838 Eva, I would not say nothing to show because you are here now. If they were unhappy in their endeavors, then that makes it terrible. My mother recently passed away a true blue Jehoovian and many time she and her brethren would say they want to live to see Armageddon. My parents were involved in building kingdom halls which were handed over to the organization with no compensation. In some cases people built their kingdom halls with money they had collected locally and now have to drive elsewhere for their meetings. It just shows to go ya how powerful the mind control is that people are still believing in the organization.

For being the earth-version of Jesus, they can’t seem to get it right. I’d love to know where in the Gospel the Good Shepherd told his followers that they asked too many questions. Before going to the cross, did he instruct his disciples to make sure his sheep don’t ask too many questions? 🤔

Eva, Yes, it is like being racist, or being forced to be blind Not being allowed to love people for their good qualities, instead distancing from them, because the religion demands it. On the other hand, you not wanting to be friends with people who have no friends proves you are not of God and do not know him

THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5
