  Outside JW World They Barely Exist

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is anyone else staggered by the fact that outside of the organization most of the general public seem to know very little or nothing about jw’s?

  when i was in i was led to believe that 99% of the worlds population had been giving sufficient warning, knew what it was all about and were stubbornly sticking to their immoral ways.

  the reality seems to be that the entire jw universe is barely noticeable to the masses.

  When I was in the first stages of waking up, I made a friend in the local community and shared some of my religious background. He is a devout Christian who attends an Anglican church.

  he made one comment that stood out to me just like the opening post. He simply stated that "nobody even knows or thinks about Jws."

  It stunned me to think that "we" were not well known! I had been raised all my life to think that the very earth revolved around "us" as witnesses!

  That really helped make those cracks in the ice of my faith get dangerously big!

  A wave of momentum!

  it certainly has to be one of the most exciting times to live in as an awake ex witness!.

  the wave of momentum we are part of as thousands awaken from the hold of the society is a joy to be a part of.

  the internet helps us to see that we are not alone.

  The internet helps us to see that we are NOT alone. We are NOT the only ones to recognise the facts we have learned.

  I wanted to thank the hundreds of online ex witnesses who have been brave enough to share their stories via videos, webpages and the like. Those who have put their faces and stories out there to help others.

  The more of us that take this brave step, the more the wave of momentum will build.

  Sure, be cautious if there may be personal consequences. But every story shared, every video posted, every effort put in, can help so many more people!

  Love your work and efforts buddy!

  Hey, if just one life can be saved from the cult, it is all worth it! But you have NOT just saved ONE life, but potentially THOUSANDS!

  Thanks for the hard work that has gone into all you do!

  JC letter of invitation. Do they always get signed?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was just shown a jc letter from a friend and i noticed that the bottom of it was signed by tree elders.

  the letter specifically stated that it was an invitation to a "judicial committee" due to the brother having a marital relationship that was not aligned with bible principles.. i am asking because i remember reading experiences of brothers who demanded their jc be arranged over certified mail with signed letters to which elders refused to do.

  since they could not get this done the matter was dropped and no dfing ever happened.

  And of course, only a high control cult would have a specific set of guidelines and directives printed in a book just for elders, that seems to override the bible....

  “There’s nothing out there in the world for you...”

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how would you guys react if or when you were told this phrase by a jw while having a conversation?

  another phrase is “this world...” or “this system, like gum will chew you up and when it’s done with you, spit you right back out.”.

  one i’ve been personally told was from a convert that had told me “whenever i speak to young ones that want to know if the grass is greener on the other side, i tell them i was a part of it.

  Every high control cult like group has their own variation of that expression.

  It is the usual Fear Obligation and Guilt used to try and lock members in physically and emotionally....

  at the agm on oct 7th, his eminence miserable morris iii stated the jw yearbook would cease publication and that the annual report would instead be released via the "about us" menu in the jw website.

  related to this, the "life and ministry meeting workbook - january 2018 (living as christians)" outlines the following item to be considered jan 1-7 2018...."annual service report: (15 min.

  ) talk by an elder.

  Those "experiences" are ALWAYS embellished in some way...

  They are NEVER as "wonderful" as they are made out to be by the org.

  I know of assembly experiences that were blatantly distorted and embellished! My wife submitted one to the CO once, and some time later, while listening to an assembly, her experience was related...BUT severely edited and embellished!
