Learning To Believe Again

by The_Seeker in

i was raised a jw and left the organization when i was 18 years old.

many thought i left because i wanted to live a life full of drugs, sex, and rock and roll, which was not true at all.

i left because i realized that these people had no idea what they were talking about and were simply parroting what the, " society " , told them to believe.

That's me too: Spiritual but not religious. If there's one thing I agree on with Rutherford, it's that religion is a snare and a racket.

Kleenex Head Covering

by jwundubbed in

growing up a woman in the cult was pretty bleak.

most of the adult women i knew were either depressed sad women or an embarrassment to me.

i was typical kid in that regard.

My Mom took off one of her slippers and balanced it on her head and sent my sister into the kitchen to grab a clean dish towel.
Mom thought she was supposed to win Dad over with her "fine" conduct. There was his wife and 4 kids all staring at him as if he were some intruder. My Dad, with a WTF look on his face, rolled his eyes and walked off.

LOLOL 😂

What a fine witnes was given!

Like St George of England said, sisters are only required to do that around a baptised male, or their own husband whether or not he's baptized. As for the Kleenex, yes it's ridiculous. Personally I've seen it done with napkins and open magazines. My mother had a scarf collection thankfully for such occasions, and she would even openly deride anyone that used something silly as a head covering, and refused to do it herself.

Nicolas King: JW celebrity and example of hypocrisy

by neat blue dog in

nicolas king frequently sings with the watchtower chorus and had a supporting role in the dvd released at the 2014 convention.

(he's on the bottom row, second from the right.).

but he also is a jazz singer, traveling constantly performing at concerts, casinos, charity events, even a brief appearance on the tonight show.

Everybody saw him at the Annual Meeting if they came early . . . He was back with the chorus singing the new dedication song on the video at the beginning 😅

This week's "Give Us Your Money" meeting item.

if you went to it, (or go later this week) how was it handled?

just the video or some commentary too?.

i have heard of a few negative comments from some that attended - one jw even openly said to me "not very encouraging, all they go on about is money lately" and another (a serving elder, no less) said "someone's got to pay for all those lawsuits".

JWs - Liberals or Conservatives?

by neat blue dog in

where they stand is a strange mixture.

yes, they don't agree with abortion and homosexuality, they believe in the bible and wear skirts and ties to church .

but in many ways they're liberal.

the organisation itself I think is very conservative but I think they have attracted mostly democrats

Exactly

Looking for shunning video

by problemaddict 2 in

so there is in now infamous "worst convention ever" video.

but there are 2 more i am looking for if possible.. 1) at a fairly recent service meeting, there was a "new" shunning video.

i remember it was from the mothers perspective, and in the end she is like "its been 5 years now......" .

neat blue dog

Video 1 is really just a clip from the longer convention video you just mentioned.

Video 2 is as amicabl said on rutube, at least it was when I watched it there a while back.

At the end of the day, we all have our own individual sets of vales and principles. Many of mine coincide with both conservative and liberal. I am me, not something that some people decide I'm supposed to be
