Perhaps it went to a appeals committee and they saw the first committee was wrong in their judgment. Still Totally ADD

Mental Health and Ex-JWs - My interview with ICSA
by dubstepped ini was interviewed by the international cultic studies association and the video from the live stream a few weeks ago has been released.
if you're an ex-jw i'd encourage you to watch and share.
the objective of this video is to help those that leave jehovah's witnesses to identify patterns and psychological problems that may be present in their lives and to help professional therapists and coaches to do the same.

How Much of the WT Teaching Did You Believe?
by Ding insome people on this forum have said that they never really believed any aspect of wt teaching, that they couldn't wait to get free of it all.. others seems to have been really gung ho, believing it all until something happened that got you questioning "the truth.".
i would say my own high water mark was about 50%, which put me squarely on the fence, trying to decide if i should be in or out.. how about you?.

Being a born-in I knew nothing else. But as a child I always wonder how they knew all this stuff but no one else did. Then in the 80's my wife and I was listening to a talk about the governing body and how for the most part were God's mouth piece and how we should listen only to what they have to say and obey them. My wife and I looked at each other and I said when they eliminate Jesus we are out of here. The problem was we stayed in another 25 years. What a dope I was. Still Totally ADD

No Need To Preach In Every Country Anymore
by pale.emperor inspeaking to a pimo from my hometown yesterday.
he told me that in the watchtower study (10 nov 2019) regarding “the great tribulation” the elder on the platform said that there’s no need for jws to preach in every country in order to fulfil the prophecy, and therefore the org has already fulfilled that prophecy.
and that there’s nothing else left to wait for now but for “the great tribulation” to come.. gasps of delight came from the audience.. has anyone else heard this?

You may be right LongHairGal but there is a sucker born everyday. If they play it right and hide what they use to be and change a few talking points they could become richer than ever before. For the die hard I am sure the wt. cult can convince them this is what god wants. Maybe they can become like the Amish where they meet at a different house each week but the house has to be approved and have a 80 inch big screen TV. I am just saying anything is possible with this nutty cult. Still Totally ADD

Hi Pale, I think it is just another twist in words. For years they have said the preaching work would never be completed. Also think the reason everyone who heard this was happy were happy with the thought of no more field service. One of the things that is high on the misery scale for witnesses. They are in for a long wait. Or it could be the beginning for the wt. to become televangelist organization. No need for kingdom halls anymore with all the expenses just send money to us through the internet. Still Totally ADD

If I was still PIMI, I'd be terrified
by neat blue dog injust looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.
and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.
looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .

This is one of the many reasons I was diagnosed with compound PTSD. To this day I still remember the nightmares as a child on being killed at armageddon. I hate the wt. organization for doing this to me and many, many more. Still Totally ADD

Publisher ID - I Saw It In Person & It Was Terrifying!
by thedepressedsoul ini'd like to start off this post by saying, we all know that the wt loves control.
it's clear by their history, their wt's, the elder arrangement and so on.
however, after witnessing and using the publish id program in person, it takes this need for control to a whole new level & it was scary.. if you've ever seen builder assist (the website program used for ldc volunteers) or the metro program, it actually looks pretty similar to that.

Did You Ever Get Hit On By An Elder?
by minimus inthe organization stresses to elders to be careful with members of the opposite sex.
never be alone with a sister whether it be in field service or paying a visit by means of a shepherding call.
do you know of any elders that flirted or were overly “touchy” with females?

Ever Wondered What People Think of Not-at-home Letters and Obit Letters?
by blondie inhttps://www.patheos.com/blogs/thefreethinker/2019/10/op-ed-intruders/.

i encourage you to read the whole thing, it is worth the laugh.. "it wasn’t pompeo knocking but he would have beamed approval on the two young women on the doorstep.

Shortly after a friend's husband had died she got a letter and a brochure from a local witness. She called us immediately and asked us how did they know her husband had died and was wondering if she was in danger. We claimed her down and let her know their are ones who are encouraged to read the obituaries in the newspaper and send a letter with wt.literature in it. Hoping to start a bible study with ones who are at their weakest due to lost of a love one. She thought that was horrible for what they were doing.
She was also scared they would be knocking on her door stalking her. We told her not to worry this person consider this as part of her ministry and it was easy time for this person and we felt you will never hear from her again. Just throw this letter away and forget about it. She really felt this act was really sick. This is what my wife and I saw first hand. Great topic blondie. Still Totally ADD
