  How about a congregation that had at least 3 couples all break up within a few years due to "immorality". Elders and servants included. (Plus at least 3 more just leave because they woke up to the truth about the truth) And this is a cong with bethelite Elders in it too!

  One does wonder if the Holy Spirit was asleep?

  this thread is inspired by the great thread pale.emperor recently featured here on the forum about the things our overzealous parents banned while we were young.. seth andrews (a former fundamentalist christian broadcaster - now host of 'the thinkingathiest') just released this great talk!

  so many things he speaks of will sound familiar!

  we were not the only strange religion it seems..... enjoy!.

  Yes dubstepped! I'm a fan of Seth too, and listen to all his stuff! I look forward each week to his podcasts...

  The more I listen too, the more I see that many other fundamentalist churches are just as controlling as witnesses.

  The FOG is thick amongst believers!

  Where is the Annual Meeting 2017?

  by pomo6780 in

  hmm, it's taken the big gb a long while to approve the annual meeting to be uploaded to their beloved tv.jw.org site.

  well.... from what i've read, it looks like they'll probably have to cut out a lot of embarrassing bits.

  wonder how lett's "immorality ... i mean immortality" would look on an official society video?

  Good point!

  They will edit and rewrite the event until it is deemed to be acceptable....

  What they don't realise is that there are probably dozens of audio copies already out there thanks to people in attendance who secretly recorded it!

  Which Things Did Your Overzealous Parents Ban?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we all know the gb like to impose rules upon the rules... but did anyone else out there have parents that implemented rules upon those rules?

  mine did.

  my mum tended to copy whatever the elders wives were doing and took it to the extreme.

  Pale Emperor: I used to like Home & Away. I genuinely believed that there were no ugly people in Australia.

  That's actually spot on PE! We are all supermodels here in Australia!

  Easybeats and Jehovah...?...Say Whaaaat...

  by jaydee in

  ....' it's not all so uplifting, though.

  wright's womanising and heroin use (dated here to the mid-1960s, not the early '70s as is generally accepted) regularly threaten to derail things; dick is torn between his jehovah's witness upbringing and the temptations of the road.

  My father was an aspiring musician in Australia at the same time as the Easybeats rose to fame.

  My father could have also been something great if not for the religion.

  He was a huge fan of the Easybeats - and will be mortified to learn this!

  So this is just a general question. Call it curiosity.

  What sort of phobias do we have? Heights? Crowds? Etc...

  This thought was spurred by something I heard on the radio about a phobia called Trypophobia. (Google it if you dare)

  It freaks some people out, while others are not bothered...

  Welcome!

  Yes, it can be confronting to realise that those we considered to b our friends when in the org, are nothing more than conditional associates who shared a common faith...no more, no less. So although we thought of them as our friends, they soon disappear when we stop attending.

  However, it's not all bad! In fact, once free of the shackles of those people, you are free to REALLY get to know "worldly" people. And guess what? Most are actually very nice!

  Most people just want to interact nicely with one another.

  Be warm and approachable. (Be careful too) But simply showing kindness and politeness to those you interact with is the start.

  I read a good quote that said "a simple hello can be the start of something wonderful"
