  Accept flip flop beliefs....Jehovah is the one who is driving the Celestial chariot

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower bible and tract society uses its governing body to force jehovah's witnesses to accept their flip-flop beliefs and doctrines.

  their history of conflicting false teachings and practices have left members in confusion.. in this video, david splane blames jehovah god for all the changing doctrines.

  "jehovah is driving the chariot.".

  Theramin Trees: Responses to Child Abuse, Jehovah's Witnesses in the dock

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  theramin trees, psychologist and ex jehovah's witness, has done simply the most carefully constructed, rigorous and utterly damning reveiw of the role of watchtower in case 29 the australian royal commission into institutional responses to instances of child sexual abuse.. although the ex jws community have gone over the carc ad nauseaum, anyone who is familiar with the work of theramin trees or his brother ;qualia soup, will surely be aware that the quality of their work ensures this will likely be the definative video on the subject.. cannot recommend highly enough, people!.

  YES!

  I was outed by a young JW sister that was working for us.

  She went through the computer during work time and found that I has left open a tab for this site...and then secretly reported us the Elders....it was shit-fight...long story!

  But, now that the dust has settled several years on, I am actually appreciative that it happened! Now we are free, and happy!

  It was the thing that I needed to push me out of a state of being "stuckinarut" to fully out!

  Simon's Forum Is More Than Just a Forum!

  by Atlantis in

  2. friends

  friends:.

  simon's forum is much more than just a forum where we come to expose the watchtower.

  it is a place that simon wanted people to be able to come to, to receive help, support, or find a compassionate listener.. this forum has exposed the watchtower more times than any forum on the net.

  Beautiful thread Atlantis!

  Thank you for sharing this.

  I will be ever appreciative of Simon for creating this safe community! In fact I have often said that this was my "soft landing place" - my "safe space" as I was awakening and working out how to extricate myself from the grips of the Society.

  I echo the kind words, and say "THANK YOU" and send much love to Simon for the hard work in keeping this place going!

  hi, this is my long overdue introduction.

  i’ve been visiting this site since probably around 2011. in that time, i’ve taken a lot from these discussions and never contributed anything.

  i’m not sure that i have much to contribute these days because i just don’t pay too much attention to wt land.

  As someone who personally knows the couple mentioned in the paragraph "lloyd and alexandra" , I can confirm that they are a lovely couple. Very cool in fact. I always liked them from when I was at Bethel Australia with them.

  I wish them well.

  In fact, I hope that this has helped them to wake up and see the REAL world outside of Bethel, and that they adjust well.

  I also hope that this makes them look critically at the "truth"!

  I welcome their friendship if they can wake up from the cult indoctrination.

  If My Dad Were To See The Watchtower Org Now

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  as we all know, this org has metamorphosized from one ugly creature to another continuously since it's inception.

  but more so it seems in the last 30 years.. i got to thinking what my dad would think if he were to be brought to life for 5 mins to see the way things are now.

  how would he even react?.

  Great thread PE!

  Yes, your father, and so many other old timers would not even recognise this religion anymore!

  If they were "resurrected" back now, they would think it was a completely different religion! Certainly not "the truth"!

  For those old timers still in - it is a case of "frog in boiling water" analogy. They dont recognise the changes occurring as they are right in the midst of it as it gradually morphs into something new...

  Library now cleared out

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  well, it looks like the axe has finally fallen on our kh library.

  during a deep clean of the local kh, a brother suddenly informed everyone 'whikst cleaning' that all the old books including bound volumes of the watchtower etc was to be chucked in the skip.. from what i heard, some were taken aback by this and quite annoyed that no announcement was made; that no one was given the choice of taking some of these books home to keep.

  i mean the entire collection of studies in the scriptures and others that go back an entire century.

  Yes, that is exactly what happened about 5 years back in our KHall.

  I objected to the loss of "our spiritual heritage", and took the box of books out of the trash bin and hid the books under the hall.

  This made me curious as to WHY they wanted to remove them? What was the content of those books that were once "spiritual food from Jehovah"?

  Then once I started reading the content...well...wow! "Once revealed, never concealed"

  JW elders stumped by Watchtower Publications

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was approached by two jehovah’s witness elders who handed me a pamphlet advertising the jw .org website.

  each man carried a bible and an apple ipad.

  they told me that they enjoyed visiting with people about the bible, and asked if i was a bible reader.

  The way most interactions at a cart would go is:

  JW: "It is nice that you have questions. If you go to JW.ORG you will find more information. Have a lovely day"
