ha ha...what a fucking joke!

Like when they'd throw a woman into the water -- if she stayed afloat, then she was a witch; if she sank ... well, then I guess that she wasn't. Either way, the woman didn't win. =(

It's true. You can never win a logical debate with someone who thinks that all the earth's animals species existed within walking distance of a 600 year old alcoholic's ark.

RE: lost humility... it's almost like how soldiers (correct me if I'm wrong, with all respect) are put through 'finishing-school' when they finish their ties with the military as they have to re-integrate
with society. (expand on this Dustin if you're there) They have to be 'decompressed' / mind-cleansed in order to 'turn off' some of the programming.

double bind... double standard... double annoying hypocrites... and what's worse, if they are pointed out, they 'move the goal posts' / backpedal. If you can get a JW to listen, pointing out the backpedaling concept will help some over time. It's a way of introducing self-awareness. I haven't had as much luck with the double bind... perhaps the backpedaling has to be disarmed first? ... perhaps it's related on a subconscious level. Even Ray Franz said that JWs lack humility in his book COC.
Staying purely neutral on this.
But to the gentleman in the video, I'd recommend seeking mental help. Seriously.
And move on.

@xenonfear Many have sought mental help after escaping the WTS and were told the same thing; helping others find their way out of this destructive cult would be the best therapy.

from a legal perspective the library book was 700 pages, I do not have the title, not a WT publication, tell all the cases it did worth regarding freedom of religion and might be of interest to you as legal scholar. on line book shoppe with boolean search of JW and legal should have it I have seen it in four libraries. quite scholarly. lots of cases in 1940's and 1950's a must have for any attorney who wants to specialize in freedom of religion.

@thepixieful All I had to do was type "Jehovah's Witnesses" in my Google notifications and now see on a regular basis all the cases they've lost in the past six months.
They won the right to preach house to house in spite of the fact Jesus said not to be transferring from house to house. That must have been Jehovah's backing.
