just watched this remarkable documentary about the exclusive brethren here in the uk.
their shunning policy is remarkably like watchtowers policy except even more extreme.
its heartbreaking how families are torn apart by such man made policies based on their interpretation of scriptures.
Unreal. Thought only the WTBTS had these strict shunning policies; guess not! These people are worse.
When the gentleman at the end said "we believe the rapture is imminent", it reminded me of the daily JW tactics of "Armageddon is imminent, right around the corner". Same bs!!!

it's because of their tremendous growth.
can anyone verify?
Oh yeah, the big growth is happening within the Spanish countries; the Caribbean islands are exploding with growth, so many KHs need to be built and assembly halls. However, the Spanish youngsters here in the USA are exiting as soon as they safely can because the www is opening their eyes.

l was wondering if others get the feeling that the world we live in seems not quite right.l can not pin point anything specific but since childhood days l often get the feeling something isn;t correct.you know the feeling of deja vu.
am l the only one to feel this way?ld love to hear from others and any storys they may have.having been raised in the jdubs maybe lm just suffering mild bouts of paranoia .
I have not been fading; can only dream of doing so some day as my family and close friends are heavily in the JW world and I just cannot afford emotionally to part ways with them.
My only consolation is that knowing TTATT has helped me in lowering service hrs/quality, meeting attendance and other JW stuff without the guilt usually associated with it. Also, I've recently formed a network inside of kindred trapped spirits and it's easing the JW burden.
Indoctrination runs deep when JWs that brought me up are so entangled with the WTBTS. The state of mind of waiting for the other shoe to drop is unbearable at times.

this took quite a while this evening.
so worth it though.
hope you enjoy!
Quite the fabulous life they lead, and yet continue on preaching a life of sacrifice for the rank and file. Disgusting!
Great video!!!

The terrible result of indoctrination.
As much as I want to escape, I feel that things will go terribly wrong once I do; I'll get a terrible illness for which I'll need help that won't be there, or I'll fall on hard financial times, or I'll suffer an accident and there'll be nobody there to help. It's a horrible, paralyzing mind trick that this deep indoctrination plays over and over in my psyche.
It keeps me in chains, I feel 'til the day I die. This fear mortifies me every single day.

The 'Slave Class', huh?!
Have you seen the idyllic, men-worshipped, materialistic lives all these fat cats, their 'helpers' and other close associates are living everywhere they go???!!!
Members in my family have volunteered several times to help in the Warwick construction and the info they brought back on how especially lavish the living quarters of the GB members are makes my blood boil with anger.
'Slave Class' my ass!!!
This is why I've decided, not one more farging red penny for these clowns.

the whole time i lived in colorado, i had the dubs come by once and leave a tract.
but since moving to california, they are at my door so often i asked them to put me on the "do not call" list.
this did not stop them, in fact i have asked four times, plus once i called the kingdom hall and left a message, they still come, the last time this past saturday.
A man in our territory had to shoot at a couple of JW sisters for them to get the point of not bothering knocking again.
A bit extreme, but it did the trick. The couple it happened to was so distressed that they stayed away from preaching door-to-door for a while.

there was a df of a mentally challenged young man he sexually assaulted a young girl.. in jesus day people were possessed by demons but we know today they had mental issues.. do you know of any cases where a mentally challenged person was df.. the case that i mention the young man was 18-20 years old and it was a case where he was.
functional, school, friends and was baptized.
i knew the family and if you didn't know he was a. typical teenager.. my question, if a mentally challenged person is able to answer the questions to qualify to be.
Mentally challenged people shouldn't be baptized. We have around 8 in our Spanish hall, all somewhere in the Autism spectrum some more functional than others, and they are all baptized much to my chagrin.
The Org only cares about numbers. Idiots!!!

it's obvious the bible is very clear on a actual hell of fire.
"cursed into the eternal fire with the devil and his angels", rev.20:15.
"lake of fire", rev.21:8 "fire and brimstone".
If there is a hell, I will be there with friends. 😜

i posted this on another thread, and decided it deserves its own...thoughts?.
an unfortunate artifact of evolution is that belief can, and often does trump fact.
survival is at the core of what belief is about.
Believe me, there are plenty that know the facts but, for whatever reason, mainly fear of losing all social contacts and along with that one's sanity, we have just decided to go along with playing the WTBTS game.
Oh, we know.... We definitely know.😕
