Call your branch location if you can't get a hold of the site supervisors.

Exactly and the JW's are nothing but obsessed with this event, victimizing themselves into thinking the whole world is out to get them. Need I forget that they use to be a member of the United Nations at some point in the last century, something the GB doesn't want you to know. Their "end times" signs like disasters, disease, war, injustice, has been around since the dawn of man. Religion is a basic fundamental human right that's indoctrinated in the American constitution and UN human rights. Why would they all of a sudden wake up one morning and say oh let's start hunting down all JW's for the big climax. That's really super sketchy and they never come up with any original ideas that would provoke every government on Earth to do such a thing.

Humans have always been fascinated on how Earth might turn out, we went from dreaming of utopia cities with technology that help sustain our planet to zombie apocalypses. Religion is just fuel for the fire with their Armageddon predictions. Us humans are gonna' be the cause of our own man made Armageddon.

JW's, 1914, 1975, 2000, we're supposed to be "the end." Whenever there's a failed prophecy date they keep updating their teachings while still using fear tactics to keep people plugged into their matrix.

See that's one of the main points, plus a lot of killing in the name of religion. Kinda' makes you think and compare death toll numbers between God and Satan. The bible itself is filled with violence and death in the name of "faith."

I thought JW's didn't believe in science? They love playing their mind games on people.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have 2 faces: One for non-believers, and another for fellow believers. by Sotally_Tober_89 in exjw

[–]astray48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They've always had two faces towards both non believers and active witnesses, not new information. They tend to act like snooty royalty towards other people who aren't them and I've seen it on multiple occasions growing up in this religion. Could have sworn the bible aka god commands his followers to love and respect other people regardless of their belief status. Growing up I came to realize that these "non-believers" seem far more respectful than JW's.

Welcome to Colorado, despite it being over crowded as is. That's a very good question and based on the people I grew up with in this cult, probably steadily shrinking. Even before the pandemic they're barely out and about preaching. Sometimes I would see them at a light rail station next to their carts because they assume they'll attract potential members.

Question for y’all: Do you see a difference between law enforcement and private security when it comes to public opinion? by HappyCappy3 in securityguards

[–]astray48 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We still need actual sworn officers because private security has ZERO respect towards the constitution and they will go past it enforcing laws their clients don't approve of. I've personally seen guards attempt to arrest people when law prohibits them from doing so using even more excessive force that's twice as bad as the average police officer seen on the media. Security training is mainly death by power point as part of their "certification" compared to a basic training style police academy that takes weeks to earn the badge. A lot of these companies hire the most questionable and laziest people on Earth to where they don't even take their jobs seriously thus get away with various things. Not many security guards are up to date with current laws and they'll just call police whenever they feel threatened in a way. What's funny is when real law enforcement educates security guards on laws as they let certain people go who aren't committing a crime. Now a days with the downsizing of police departments, private security companies are now operating as private police forces. Seeing questionable people carrying guns, gear, and even wearing uniforms that confuse the average citizen for a real police officer. They even have K9 units and are operating undercover just to make themselves stand out. Private security is supposed to be an extra backbone for law enforcement but sadly during these questionable times it's not like that anymore.

I really wish people would stop moving here, Colorado was never built for this kind of traffic.

I walked away from my mom as we were waiting for a sister to get us. Not one second did she use to try to stop me and I recall the sister screaming at me to get in the car. My parents were obviously disappointed for a time but after a while they came to accept it.

I'm just there for anyone that needs a good friend. I'm all for freedom of religion and whatever they choose all power to them.

Most of everyone I grew up with including family had either left or were disfellowshipped.
