i heard avoidjw.org is under legal attack from the watchtower society.
it's a shame because it's such a wonderful resource.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cmhopfvoim.
does anyone know what is happening with this site?
It amazes me!
The information on these sites (such as jwfacts) is nothing more than actual quotes from Society material!
Nothing more, nothing less!
If the GB is so determined to try and delete such quotes from history (good luck with that anyway), then they are proving the point that they are a Cult! Scared of anything negative - even if they themselves wrote it all!
i registered to vote!
the last election had me staring like a deer in the headlights.
i couldn't stand either candidate!
Well done!
I remember when I first voted. It was such a liberating feeling, even though I didn't know what to actually do in the polling booth!
how in the hell would it ever work?
everyone is youthful, everyone is perfect, everyone's personality is loving and kind.
how would you choose somebody?
We might have reality TV style shows like "the Bachelor" where a dozen eligible "spiritual sisters" all contend for the love of the one "spiritual brother"?

I haven't read it yet, but what is the bet that the outline has something in it about Porn or Sex or University education again?
i'm new to this site.
i've been out for 27 years and was trying to figure out how to get in touch with others that may also be on here from my old congregation.
it was warrensburg , ny....
Welcome!
I am no help sorry, as I am over the other side of the world.
But Its nice to have you here!
https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/construction/women-in-construction/.
it's all about women being trained to operate heavy equipment, like it's a miracle.
they quote the male foreman, but don't tell you that only men are allowed to be foreman.
How patronising.....
"aww... there there you good little woman. You can drive the big truck if you are good and obedient. Would you like that? hmmm? Now run along now and make us morning tea while your'e up"
many of us here have been "outed" as ones who no longer believe that this is "the truth".. many didn't have the chance to do it in our own way, and in our own time, but rather someone "found out about our apostasy" and "reported" it to the spiritual police (elders).
would you like to share your stories?.

i got the latest memorial invite on my door sometime today.
i work from home.
between the time i drop the kids at school and pick them up, i was here.
On Social Media, I saw family members exploiting their young grandchildren into folding these invitations, and stuffing them into envelopes...(maybe for letter writing work)
All the while, singing their praises and flattering them ... Of course young kids (3 years old) LOVE being praised...
If only they knew what this was actually about... "Awww how cute! ___ is part of the 'deny christ' party"
who among us has known a jw who has committed suicide.
i believe this as a separate subject has not been covered..
I know of two ...
One was a man in his 40's. father and husband. Totally unexpected.
The other was a teenager. He didn't want to be a witness. He had told his parents that. They went to a meeting and he stayed home. when they came home, he had cleaned his room perfectly, then hung himself in the garage. They found him as they opened the garage after the meeting.
intellectual honesty: "i am willing to be wrong when facts go against cherished beliefs.".
are you willing to be wrong?.
without a willingness to be wrong (who can always be right?
Yes!
Great post.
We can so quickly note the intellectual dishonesty of the Society. It is good to also check ourselves periodically...
