Is JW.org unbreakable

by UnshackleTheChains in

i ask this question for good reason.

let's face it, despite all the books, videos, forums, court cases, hearings, protests etc that have been exposing the society for many years.

jw.org continues to roll on almost 'it seems' unscathed.. for example, just walk into any kingdom hall there is not so much as a whisper about anything that has been exposed outside of jw land.

"Information Control"

One of the most powerful signs of a high-control cult.

Hey witness 007, I remember that awful 2014 international convention! We were messaging each other via this forum from the stands!

by dubstepped in

episode 3 is now out and available on itunes or whatever you use, as well as my site, linked below.

this one is heavier and about life at home growing up as a jw.

i even had an epiphany while recording it, which you'll hear as you listen.

A woman wearing a head covering in subjugation of men - absolutely mental

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

how did they ever get away with that and how does it go down now, in today's society?.

its fucking mental.

.

stuckinarut2

Yes, it is one of the most ludicrous things ever...

How does a woman simply putting a napkin on her head prove "submission"?

And why does she even need to be "submissive"? Really, why?

OH! Because she doesn't have a penis...of course...makes perfect sense now....

My Younger Brother Has Left The Witnesses!! :-D

by pale.emperor in

absolutely thrilled to give you the news that my younger brother, a zealous full-time pioneer has left the witnesses!!.

i haven't seen or spoke to him in a year.

i'd lost all contact with him, no facebook, no mobile number, i didn't even know his address because he'd moved house.

What is behind your choice of forum user name?

by stuckinarut2 in

jw
friends

just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.

there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.

i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

stuckinarut2

Wow!
The reasoning behind our forum names is great!

Love it.

Are Witnesses TRULY Honest, Humble and Hungry? (The 3 H's)

by stuckinarut2 in

how many times did we hear the worn out expression "that anyone who accepts the "truth" needs to have the 3 h's".

yes, they must be "honest hearted.

hungry for truth, and humble enough to accept that they need to change".

Surprise Elders Visit

by Tight Pants Twinkle Toes in

hello community!

quick background - baptized 1971, 46 years in the borg, former elder.

wife - baptized 1973, pioneer...... we became disgusted with the oranization 10 years ago but still believed it was the truth.

stuckinarut2

That's a good point Cold Steel. Many of us were that "super-righteous" too as younger ones...and we may have done the same as that sister....

I guess we need to allow them to awaken and keep our doors open for them when they do....

What Happens If the JW Beard Policy Stumbles a Person

by Cold Steel in

some of the videos on youtube really make the beard policy look ridiculous.

i wondered what would happen if the jw beard policy caused someone to stumble?

jesus most likely wore a beard, and charles taze russell had a beard.

Yes, the amazing thing is that the verse in Leviticus that condemns Tattoos (and the society uses as a rule / principle today) is one verse away from one that says "And you MUST NOT cut off your beard"

So, the GB apply one verse, but actively go against the other!!??

WTH?
