If you received new light and you did not get a new lamp,

If you don't change your doctrine , you just get new light

Or if the light got brighter without changing a light bulb

If you turn away in horror at the sight of cross _You might be a JW or a Vampire

what buzz word from the jw's do you hate & why?

by Sabin in

jw
friends

so my hubby has been on a bit of a roll about the jdubs, we were talking a lot about them & he said the buzz word he hate's the most is "worldly" why?

because he say's "with that one word they have condemned (according to their believes) a person as being worthy of nothing but death.

".

MissFit

Wait on Jehovah, Trust in Jehovah- a statement used to counter any complaints about unfairness or unclear doctrines

New light. Or the light keeps getting brighter- greatest gimmick ever!!! we weren't wrong,just needed new light.

Bad association: anyone not a JW, everyone not brainwashed = no friends

"Reproach on Jehovah's name"

by Phizzy in

the longer i am away from the cult, the more very childish and downright silly it seems in many many ways.. just another example of the childlike way they do not think things through is their obsession with "not bringing reproach on jehovah's name", that concept was used to stop jw's doing all sorts of stuff, a lot of it quite normal.. but the worst aspect of this concept is that they cover up the evil within their org any way they can.. yet they only have to look back on all the cover-ups of the past, by other religions, by politicians etc etc to see that an open acknowledgement and an open dealing with the situation at the time is far better.. cover-ups get exposed in the end, and leave you looking far worse than if dealt with honestly..

That phrase is a powerful tool for keeping people in line. It can be used to justify disfellowshipping or cause to fear disfelloiwshipping. This phrase defined my childhood and left me looking over my shoulder with panic as I evaluated my every action.

One of the first thoughts that went through my 12 year old head when I discovered that my "Elder" foster father was molesting my sisters ,was how can I stop him without "bringing reproach on Jehovah?"

You were right: cover up it was. Tell the elders and not the authorities. Not even the case worker. Tell no one . No reproach....my responsibility, my duty.

No theocratic school or service meeting starting 2016 -

by MissFit in

jws from my congergation stopped by my house during their saturday service time to "catch me up on new changes".

apparently they are totally changing the format of the ministry school and service meeting.

has anyone heard about this?

MissFit

Thank you Simon. I did try to look it up but wasn't sure what subject to look under.

Joe: I try. I have better things to do so I usually don't bother to keep up. But I enjoy reading the discussions and opinions here about changes. I had to bite my tongue when the JWs were gushing about how wonderful and loving the GB was. I needed different voices in my head. I dont want a relapse.

Apparently they are totally changing the format of the Ministry school and service meeting. Has anyone heard about this? They told me that there will be demonstrations and videos. If there is already a discussion about this could you send me a link?
