i had an interesting conversation with a fellow ex-jw yesterday.
for the sake of this post lets call her "katie".
katie is a former pioneer who suddenly stopped attending meetings and managed to be left alone by the elders.
We have family members who have been put into a turmoil trying to reconcile such direction from the society!
Some have simply cut us off...while others are trying to work out how to proceed.
I know it is messing with their heads and emotions!
But yes, the simple question is "Why or how can 7 men who don't even know you from a bar of soap have the right to cause a rift between family relatives??!"
Yes, "It is a cult"
nicely sums up most of the population.... https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe.
Brilliant!
Thanks for sharing!
ok, so i've just put myself through another months broadcast so i can see what bull they're feeding my still in relatives.
all was going fine... well, i say fine, i mean the usual cheesy videos, rehearsed reactions from jeffrey jackson (you remember him, the one who told half truths and lies at the royal commission) and propaganda from jw land.. the last feature brings up 9/11 and the paris 2015 attack at the bataclan.
just as im thinking "how are they gonna spin this in their direction" i hear these words:.
Fantastic thread, and great "rant" pale emperor!
I agree wholeheartedly with your comments, and those of others too!
The level of idiocy that witnesses hold is mind blowing!
Somtoo is the self centred attitude they show...
i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.
you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!
what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.
Bumping this thread for a new generation of forum members!
Especially, check out page 14 of this thread for all his great research!
Or Yahweh himself?
Signed by Jesus himself!?
i just happened to read a news article from some months ago about doctors having performed a successful penis transplant.
the recipient lost his due to cancer, and doctors expect him to gain full use of his "new" penis, including sexual activities.
considering some of the more goofy interpretations of doctrine that the gooberning body trots out that the rank and file must obey under penalty of shunning i wonder if a man had this surgery, would he and or his wife be df'd for adultery?
Well, it's more like homosexuality...as the man is touching another mans penis....
So, don't tell tight pants ToMo3 about it....he might be very interested ....

the following 1,100 word story is from their website - don't know if it's in the printed version.....take 5, may 5, 2017.
Much love to you phoebe.Thanks for sharing your account.
i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.
once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.
If someone chooses to go back after having A FULL knowledge of the FACTS, about the society, (TTATT), then they are clearly doing it just for the social aspect....
Also, their internal honesty needs to be questioned!
It precisely BECAUSE I value truth and honesty that I chose to leave!
