What sort of observations would be good to bring out while watching it with a devout jw to get them thinking without doing it obviously?

That's an interesting and concise summary of the history, we'll done that writer.
I wonder how much offense would be taken if I posted this on my Facebook wall?
.. do you want to be on tv?.
reposted to help tv producers of ex-jw series: my name is shauna woods and i work for hot snakes media, an acclaimed television production company based in new york city.
we have developed and produced hit content for tlc, discovery, and travel channel among many others.
This is probably some elder dangling his maggot in case anyone bites.....
hi friends.
i have some questions for all who are fading.. .
do your friends in the old congregation know, that you maybe don't attend the meetings in the new congregation?.
Oh jolly good prayer sir!
used this method to logically convince my friend who is also dfd of one of many reasons as to why i shall never return and he agreed.
let me know if anything is false or misleading and we can revise :).
blood transfusions:.
Ah.
Just re-read the OP.
That's not what he was saying at all..
I'll get me coat.

Hang on. I've had a couple of beers so tell me if I've not got this right......
Atthe beginning of this thread the OP postulated that since Jesus broke the law to save a life, (or rather heal a hand, or save an animal ), we should be able to do the same with regards to blood.
However, according to WT literature, Jesus DIDNT break the law, rather he broke the pharisees too-strict interpretation of the law.
Therefore WT = pharisees yes? Same difference either way..
i can honestly say that although still in, i have lost the fear of wts dooms day version and in all sincerity i don't care what others inside the cult think of me.
at first i was mad of being lied to, i was sad that paradise is not coming, and i felt fear of death.
i happy to report, that i am now at peace with my eventual mortality and i am enjoying every second i have while i am alive.. .
Time is definitely making a difference.
Every day I get a little more confident about arguing my corner, and I care a little less about what others think. My only concern now is about not losing my wife. I feel THE conversation is going to come up soon, in which I tell her I'm only going to the meetings to be supportive of her, and that I've gone from doubting to not believing.
It's been easier and there's been less pressure since I came out as a doubter, and I sure am enjoying life a lot more, if it wasn't for the fear of losing the luvverly missus...
Andthe dread of having to go out on the ministry in the morning.... 😥
:-(
hay out there.. wife got back from her thursday meeting & now she's setteled down with the dog, a v large g&t (maid be me) & watching terminator 2 on the telly with her ipad on her lap looking up places to go for our holiday (& googling symptoms of to many antibiotics as my 16 year old is getting signs of ibs).
so now is a good time to say hello.. well hello.
my name is phats & i'm an ex jehovah's witness.. there, i've said it.. this must be like it is going to your first aa meeting.. i've already used up some of my posts for a newbe but i'm not in to the whole long story thing.. basically i've been out now for 8 years (mentally out for all but four or five of those years of my life when i made the commitment, got baptized & married.).
Hey phats, welcome matey! I'm looking forward to when I can say I'm an ex! Well done!
being my 1st post i figured i should relate a personal experience.
a few months ago i decided to stop reporting time.
i'm mentally out of this cult now but still trapped because of family.
Welcome to the world of the far-out thinkers and the twisted minds!
Really nicely presented video too, you got skills!
I've had a similar experience where a meeting with two elders turns into a meeting with one elder that confides that he doesn't disagree with me but says they've 'got everything else right, or at least better than anyone else does so we might as well go along with it' ...
Don't you be thinking now .. Stop thinking, I can tell you're thinking, it'll come to no good I tell you! Listen obey and be brainwashed!
it was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.
i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.
i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!
Well said phizzy, I'm only just starting to become a full grown human being. It's a good feeling. I just wish it had happened a lot earlier in my life. Likewisee problem addict, we'll put sir!
Sounds daft compared to all your deep personal revelations on doctrinal matters, but the first time I permitted myself to do a search on here was on Beards!
