Are you a woman? Do you know one?

by dubstepped in

if you can answer yes to either question, you should consider listening to the latest episode of "shunned".

in it, brenda tells her story inside the flds cult, a story of women and what they go through.

this is happening right here in the united states.

Cleaning out my mom's house

by Lynnie in

so i'm cleaning out my jw mom's house since she's gone to assisted living.

she had tons of bound volumes of the wt and awake from the 80's and 90's and the cousins decided to recycle all of them since "everything is online now.

they even recycled old nwt bibles!!

It must be a trying time sorting through a lifetime of stuff? (including cult stuff)

I wish you all the best, and hope that all the family works in well together. It can be stressful.

August 2018 Study Watchtower - Some wise words for JW's to consider!

by The Fall Guy in

do you have the facts?.

page 3 - as true christians, we need to develop the ability to evaluate information and reach accurate conclusions.. page 4 - it is especially important to avoid (view) websites promoted by apostates.

(awakened jw's) their whole purpose is to tear down (inform) god’s people and to distort (reveal) the truth.

Oh the HYPOCRISY!

How brazen of the GB !

How many people have been woken up by the A.R.C??

by karter in

jw
friends

i know of 1 that watched the video and never went back.. i think for some it was a the sum of the total or the "last straw" if you like.. karter..

stuckinarut2

Yes! Many.

I can remember the day I sent the report to my wife (unstuck). She had sort of started waking up.

She devoured the report, and in that day, she was forever "out" of the grips of the Society!

Brothers with hearts. Where are they?

by stillin in

one poster here mentioned how, after he was appointed as an elder, things took on a more "corporate" feel.

i was an ms and as such went, dutifully, to the bi-annual meetings with the co. i was sorely disappointed.

i had imagined sort of a round-table discussion of trends and potential difficulties in the congregation, along with a coordinated effort to help people out.

stuckinarut2

Great post stillin! I can say that your experience mirrored mine very much.

I focussed on helping brothers and sisters. Being there to support them. I shared with the body those that needed help in the flock.

I soon saw in those elders and ms meetings that the agenda was very different.

I even used the illustration about how we should take care of the "crushed reeds and flaxen wicks" in the congregation. The "lost sheep"

I was severely told off for "counselling the elders" . For presuming to "tell them how we should treat the brothers and sisters"

I also put great efforts into my talks - to make them heartfelt and motivating. Often I used illustrations to help encourage all. I was counselled for "presumptuously using too many illustrations" to which I said "but Jesus did that?" One elder snapped back "so you think you're Jesus!?"

To this day, I can't understand how what I did was wrong. ...
