If it wasn’t for Americans, you would be a slave, and the son or daughter of slaves, and if you still had a tongue, be speaking German.

Pudgy - I have an idea we all see satire in something different. If it is a shared life experience, I think we all get it but I must say, I like satire, but I do not always see the satire others see. Sometimes I just don't get it.

You seem to suffer from delusions of self importance and a need to be noticed.  Well that is the only reasonning I can find for all this dribble of stupid pictures.  
And as for dear Carroll here she seems to forgt that the GB / Leaders used to say that the JW religion was the 'new ark' and that everybody had to be a baptised JW to be that ark, to be saved. 
I think they've thrown that idea out the window now  

Thanks - I will share with family members

When I see those words and some accusations after it....  I will not defend myself.... it is a trap to get into a a nasty  argument - try your hate-OCD on someone else.  

Hate-OCD symptons - this is not a discussion.

There is no way he will understand  this concept,,,,he doesn’t understand that spiritual  death is worse than the first death…he doesn’t understand the ways in which people of faith can be attacked……I’m done with him…

Do you know what rice-Christians are? 

I haven't heard this version. :))  But this version reminds me of stories in assembly lectures and behind-the-scenes stories many decades ago. The story goes that we will be amazed to see among the survivors of Armageddon in the “New World” those we didn’t think would be there, and we won’t see those we were sure would be in NW.
 

Ukraine is not the first war and not the last - with killing and cruel  slaughter. When the same thing was going on in the middle east - america was killing civilians- no one said a thing. Media was silent.  Now the media is turning Ukraine into holy angels who are suffering and all Russians are monsters. (All humans who do not live by righteous standards can quickly become monsters in some way. )  The countries now fighting each other are are "brothers"  and both are  egged on by, and supported by their highest clergy - the  orthodox fraternity.  Innocent people are suffering  but only a few of them are not taking sides in this war. Even countries are forced to take sides now.... you are either King of North or king of South.... 
UN will soon turn against religion.... it is already negative towards it but will openly thwart the Pope, who has been promoting UN agenda 2030, and turn on those who practice religion. It will feel like persecution for them ....... but have they not been hearing the message ? .... Get out of her my people? 
When they come for us because we serve jehovah, we will know it and hopefully own it
From Jehovahs perspective:- all those now dying will get resurrected. Jesus will judge them in true justice. Their suffering will be over and forgotten- forever, depending on their own choice. 
The resurrection hope and jehovahs justice must sustain us in these times when there will be much people around us suffering before death - such as  Covid induced homelessness and food shortages which later will be almost intollerable. People will say: where is God, there is no loving God..... blame Him for human wickedness induced by Satan. That is the regular MO.  
We must remember - all those dying before the final Day of jehovah (not 24 hour day), will be eligible for resurrection. 
Jehovah has thought of everything. His plan is air tight. ..... no mistakes. 
 

We do not care what you think. I only answer for the benefit of others and read their comments. 
Your rejection is obvious but sometimes you try to hide it.  That is why I do not trust you at all. 

Since Adam sinned the world is subject to futility on the basis of hope.  All is futile - all ends in death and corruption........ but jehovah has provided the hope through his Son.  And a future under the freedom from sin through his rule together with the Sons of God, the 14400 in freedom.
The wickedness has systematically grown worse as humans now  manufacture more ynthetic bio weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, animal, plant and human genetic engineering and other deviant forms of disobedience to the ethic principles of Jehovah. The possibility now exists that humans can go extinct.............so the world has definitely changed....... so the GB has NOT produced inaccurate doctrines as you claim,,,,, but have taught us the scriptures so well,  so we ourselves can see when these things deviant things are going into fulfillment. 
In contrast with this you are still drinking milk....... do you not think it is time to start a bible study with JWs to learn the meaning of scriptures such as Roman's 8? 

Not a chance. (unfortunately)
When you drift away, sometimes. When you stomp your feet leaving the sheepfold, less often. When you thereafter turn your flamethrower upon it….

I admit this is true. “What does Patiently Sitting on his Hands really have to say?” I ask myself 20 times a day. But every time I pick up my phone to call and elder glares in the window. “Don’t you even think it, TrueTom!” he orders.
“And to the congregation in WorldMedialand. What can I say? You put up with dodos, imposters, and saboteurs! What on earth is wrong with you?!”
 
Not even God? Where’s the faith? Just today at the Watchtower Study we met someone (Uzziah) whose downfall he caused. Seems to me the authority of the GB looms far larger to you than it does to any of the JWs you squabble with. The latter simply know that any project needs headship and feel overall that they’re doing an acceptable job. They don’t occupy anywhere near the place of prominence in our minds as they do in yours.

Agreed!
That said, you flea-bitten mutt, if you ever downvote me I’m calling the pound.

12 minutes past midnight, I'm off to bed. But thank you all for a good laugh this evening. It's been fun   
 

That is your personal conclusion. 

so true - as well as your other points.  I hope he takes it to heart.

I think Tom is right - and you are the one that is belying your chosen name

I would say that Satan attacks true worshippers more than those who are already on his side.  He has a kind of hate-OCD.   He just cannot leave them be.  He goes away for a while and then comes back again and again, 

I assumed that too! but maybe I put it a little clumsily.  I do not agree with brothers who do not think that imperfection can take place in the congregation - that is why I quoted JOB.  He was a  servant of Jehovah but that did not protect him.

No - it means they do what they please (where their own desires lead them), which may include the above behavior.  God has standards and we have to follow them to get Jehovah's approval.
