  Hi All!

  That is so cool of you Vanderhoven7 to start this thread out of concern!

  And Freedom Rocks, so good of you too!

  We are good friends of WakeMe and catch up regularly. We can reassure everyone she and her son are doing well. I guess she is just going through a patch of "ex-jw burnout" if you know what I mean?

  Sometimes, it all becomes too much, and we need a break to just try and focus on building a real life outside of the damaging witness quagmire.

  I know though that she will be back here soon to share her excellent insights and great writing style sometime. In the meantime, I will pass on your kind thoughts!

  Terry's Editorial on the Pledge of Allegiance

  terry's editorial on the pledge of allegiance_____.

  can one child in a thousand actually define the word or give the meaning of "allegiance?

  " can you--without stumbling around about it?give me a moment of your time, will you?first, in medieval times, wealthy landowners allowed peasants to cultivate their property as long as these pitiful souls made a pledge of fealty or allegiance to become a soldier for that lord of the manor if he needed to go to war against some imagined enemy.

  Children being required to recite the pledge on a daily basis in schools is ridiculous!

  My wife doesn't require me to recite my marriage vows each day. We did that once, and the value of those vows stands.

  Why the need for constant recital of a vow if one is confident in it?

  Terry Obrien is the Australian Branch Co-ordinator. The top guy in the Australian branch.

  He was one who was brought in for questioning at the ARC.

  JW’s do NOT shun... (apprently)

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my quora campaign of answering all jw related questions truthfully with evidence is going well.

  however, one jw had the audacity to claim that "jws do not shun".

  they seem to want to present a fake, squeeky clean image to non-members and seem to get angry when answering questions regarding shunning.. like this asshole, dennis cybulski.

  Typical Jehovah's Witness:

  "We do not shun. We feel hurt and saddened when someone chooses to leave associating with us. We feel upset when they choose to turn their backs on us!"

  Just like the way Terry O'brien responded when asked those questions during the Australian Royal Commission!

  Hahaha!

  He deleted his "like" from the post!!

  So he clearly got the message and felt awkward...and so has deleted the like. (I didn't even know it could be done)

  So I have deleted my comment from the post to him as well. Otherwise it would look odd having it there.

  What JW habits do you still have?

  by Exelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since leaving the jw's after over 4 decades, i can see exactly what it is and hate everything it stands for.

  however, there are still some jw habits and traits that i can't get rid of:.

  1. i can't swear in general conversation (i'd have to be really angry).

  A Question About Elders Knowing About Child Molesters

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  supposedly the society sent a letter out on march 14, 1997 to all elders contained an instruction that inadvertently admitted they had a big problem: “the body of elders should give the society a report on anyone serving or who formerly served in a society-appointed position in your congregation who is known to have been guilty of child molestation in the past.” .

  can anyone here confirm/or not that this was a real letter that was sent to elders?.

  Oh wow...

  The glaring flaws in that whole process is appalling!

  How do they not see how wrong that guidance is??

  What about REPORTING TO THE POLICE??

  New abbreviation POMOSI

  by NeedToKnow in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was thinking that i’m not exactly pomo but more pomosi - physically out mentally out spiritually in.. anyone who is familiar with the life of raymond franz may understand what i mean.

  so i haven’t been to meetings in a while and i’m so over the whole mind control thing but i do love jehovah and believe in his purpose for us.

  the org doesn’t go about it properly imo so i have been doing my own reading and understanding.

  What do you define "Spiritually" as??

  Do you believe that "Jehovah" is the god that uses Jehovah's Witnesses?
