he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.

he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.

Sorry your brother is suffering because of this cult's mind-fuckery. It must be difficult to stand by and watch. He needs at least one person in his life right now that is in touch with reality - that person be you.

Be strong for both of you and don't let the culty elders insert a wedge - your brothers mental health depends upon it.

Stop harassing jws

by pomo6780 in

we want people to learn ttatt.

we have numerous resources online to draw jws in so that they will wake up.

however, i've noted some radical methods that have been used by fellow exjws, and quite frankly, this must stop.

Pomo - phew so glad you haven't made any rules about it.

Also define "harassing" just so I know which one I 'm not supposed to do when I encounter the cart people from my town that have positioned themselves so conveniently for in your face recruitment purposes.

1) beside an ATM - so subtle

2)smack dab in the middle of a walking/cycling track complete with folding chairs - did I mention on the track - so considerate

3)in the centre of the eating area of the outdoor mall - so appetite spoiling.

Jehovahs Witnesses – Does the Sect’s name really mean for what it is ?

by EverApostate in

the term jehovah’s witnesses sounded weird to me even when i was in that cult.

why does god need witnesses to prove his existence?

there is no need for anyone to create a movement called “suns witnesses” or “moons witnesses” – in order to prove its existence and glorify it, because the sun and moon are evident to every species on earth.

Does that make apostates Jehovah's Hostile Witnesses?

It's like saying Easter Bunny's Witnesses except people have been witnessed stuffed bunny and have seen an actual rabbit.

Tor1500- "Men are just men...just basic humans..."

You got that part right... basic as f**************ck... Lol. Now calm down everyone just kidding!

Though I will say it seems to me that if they were to call out every man that has spoken crudely, leered at someone creepily or been "handsy" uninvited there would be no entertainment industry left.

What you gotta remember is many young men get sexually harrassed and assualted by predatorial types also but men are less likey to report.

FYI For anyone who wants to downvote - I'm NOT minimizing the impact on women and girls after all I am one and have experienced sexual harrasment and assault first hand #me too.

I just see sexual pests and bullies as a problem for both sexes.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Jehovah's Hearsay Account Repeaters while more accurate doesn't have that same culty ring to it.
