Was this elder full of bs again regarding the complete wt library online?
by Wakanda inthis is my first time making an o.p.
an elder told me that he had access to a website online that had all the old bound volumes and books.
also, he made sure to say it was not an apostate website, but a 'legit' website made by brothers.

The Carrot or the Stick?
by doubtfull1799 inin my time as an elder i attended many elders schools etc and we were often instructed to use the carrot, not the stick.
use commendation and encouragement as opposed to pressuring or guilting the brothers into field service etc.. it seems in that approach we were not imitating jehovah.
read deuteronomy chapter 28: carrot - first 13 verses.

Great observation doubtful1799!
Yes, The god of the bible is a very bloodthirsty and petty being who tries to coax "love" out of his creatures with the threat of punishment if they dont conform....

Different Types Of Abuse
by Amanda Moore inthere is alot if press here in australua on the royal commission about child abuse in the jw faith.
however that is just one type of abuse, abuse can be physical or mental, we tend to forget about the various types of mental abuse in the jw faith.
my story is not unique and apologies for grammar etc.. my father and mother emigrated to perth australia many decades ago when i was very young.

Thanks so much for checking in and updating us all mr and mrs stumpy! We really appreciate the way you have shown that there IS life after WT...a very good life if we allow it to be so!
I agree so much with all you have written. The real goal should be to become "Ex-ex Jws."
Yes, we need to acknowledge our shared background having been raised in a cult, but not let it define who we are NOW. We are all people who happened to have that background, but we can become so much more that that.
Much love to you both!

Elder Told A JW To Ignore Governing Body Advice
by pale.emperor ini 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"

Outraged After Watching The May 2017 Broadcast
by pale.emperor inok, 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...
