Meghan Markle Will Omit 'Obey' from Her Wedding Vows to Prince Harry
by AFRIKANMAN inwhen meghan markle says her royal wedding vows to prince harry on saturday, she’ll be following in the footsteps of princess diana and kate middleton by choosing to omit the traditional promise to “obey” her husband, the palace confirms.. during the ceremony, officiated by archbishop of canterbury justin welby, meghan will tell her royal groom: “i meghan, take you, harry, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; according to god’s holy law.
in the presence of god i make this vow.”.
the decision doesn’t come as a surprise: meghan has long been a vocal feminist, working with organizations like one world vision to learn about the challenges facing women and girls living in dubai and mumbai.

Receiving so much hate recently....
by stuckinarut2 inwell, as you all know, my wife (unstuck) and i are not df or da.. we just stopped attending several years back after my "apostate" online activity was found by a nosey employee of ours while she was working in our office (long story if anyone wants to know - it would have to be another thread).
we never met with any elders - no congregation judicial activity occurred (as we would never consent to do so anyway).
so our policy has been to be the same kind, loving, normal people we have always been.

There's nothing more exciting to JW "villagers" than the opportunity to dust off their torches and pitchforks form a mob and chase the apostamonster out of town and comparing notes about it round the KH campfire. It's the only excitement they have.

Material such as the film at the end of this years convention confirms that I was right to take my kids out the religion
by jambon1 init’s quite affirming to see the horrific material that they’re serving up at the convention this year.
aside from blatant homophobia, the scenes at the end of the convention that are discussed on another thread stoop to new levels of fear mongering.
it seems to occur to nobody inside the organisation that this kind of material could trigger fear, deprsssion, anxiety, stress.

Don't bother dubstepped posting on some threads seems to evoke a response that leaves you wondering why you bothered - "no good deed goes unpunished."

Leah Remini to tackle JWs in new special
by betterdaze inthe star has a previous first-look production deal with the network to produce unscripted series following the success of her emmy-winning show “leah remini: scientology and the aftermath.” according to the hollywood reporter, remini will produce a special for the network during the break following season 3 of the acclaimed docuseries.. it notes that jehovah’s witnesses, while based on biblical teachings, have come under fire over the years for similar practices to the church remini left years ago.
for example, practices of ousting or shunning members who have dissenting views, a blanket refusal to participate in politics and government as well as not celebrating christmas or birthdays are all things that the special will reportedly cover.
additionally, the religion has predicted the literal end of the world several times, obviously to no avail.. .

If it's anywhere near as good as the first series I'll be happy. I love Leah she's great, she's in the perfect position really never been a JW but knows how cults like this work. She doesn't tiptoe around them she''s not afraid of triggering their "persecution complex" doesn't cowtow to the religious heirarchies and pulls no punches when caling out what they do in an intelligent way. We should be so lucky to have an advocate like her because it's sadly missing in the exjw community.

The emotionally manipulative techniques JW families use.
by stuckinarut2 ini am really disturbed by some methods that jw family members try and use to emotionally manipulate us back into the organization.. one of our fellow posters here has had a family member send several photos of them as a child either out witnessing, and at an assembly.. no words - just those pictures.. it seems such an infantile and manipulative technique to employ?!.
do they think that we will all simply ignore the logical and factual reasons we no longer attend, just because we see some sentimental picture?
do they not see that this actually may reinforce our understanding that we were raised as children in a high-control religious group where we had to please our parents.

Yeah, I had a sister who I considered a friend before the big friendship freeze of 2015/16 turn up at the front door to give me a photo of me (just me mind you not the both of us as she took the pic!?!) taken at a cafe after witnessing one sat morn. She just said she thought I might like it (like my life couldn't go on without it???) handed it to me and walked away as she was refusing my offers of coming in, a cup of tea etc. She didn't want to talk to me just give me a photo of myself out witnesssing.
I thought wtf was that all about!

Doesn't matter how you act or what you say if they have decided you are bad associaton or worse apostate they will interpret everything you do as some kind of ploy. Which when you think about it it is what I would call a strategy - a strategy of how to deal with cult controlled people.
If they behaved like "normal" people and just said "hi how's it going" etc etc when they saw you instead of acting like you are somehow worse than a serial killer for the crime of not going to meetings and you have ebola you/we wouldn't need a "ploy"/strategy to deal with their craziness.
Ps - My strategy now is indifference. Went through all the stages of "dealling with them" fear and running away, anger and seething, chatty and polite, now, I 'm at "not giving a shit."
