Why are so many JW's smug & phony?

by NoMoreHustle in

in my 20 years of being in this cult i was always struck at how alot of ones in my immediate hall never really talked to me or tried to get to know me.

i know it is a two way street & i always tried to rbe nice & polite to everyone.

i am shy person but i went beyond what i was comfortable with in trying to be likeable!.

Alot of the friends are very smug & could care less if you are there. It drives me nuts that they think they are so important in there little CLICK.

I just wanna scream "YOU ARE DOING NOTHING OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE, GET A LIFE PEOPLE!

Just a little rant. Thanx

Singing, dancing, etc at Int. Conv's, pushed by top leadership?

by WingCommander in

jw
friends

over the past several months, we've seen a flood of youtube video's showing not just the advertising of the cities for the international conventions, but also of the "entertainment" happening at various convention halls and congregations.

examples would be the line-dancing, worldly music, dancing outside the conventions, etc.

many of us who grew up in this ultra-strict, thou-shalt-not cult are left with our jaws on the floor at this seemingly "worldly" display of showy, excessive, mainstream behaviour.. progress is happening.

I played music at the hall at someone's wedding a few years ago. I suggested that we play a real nice song that is not a kingdom melody one & they were floored at what I had suggested. It was Rachmaninoff-Rhapsody on a theme by Paganinni. "It was still classical music I thought".

Now there pumping Pharrell in the KH. They made me feel like I was a slimeball

HYPOCRITES!!!

friends

it's nice to have you here !

i found that this board was very supportive when i first got on it over 4 years ago .

i still find it supportive !

I can now at least express my thoughts & annoyances here. I am still in trying to fade & help family members to get out. I can't really speak to any of the few friends in hall that I have about anything. Spouse doesn't want to hear any negativity from me about the hall. Spouse buries head in sand.

It sucks the situation i'm in but I am a strong person & will just deal with it.

how to survive a three day assembly?

by purrpurr in

hi i have to go to one of these soon.

i find it difficult enough to sit through a meeting knowing what i now know.

how to survive a whole three days???!!!

NoMoreHustle

The last couple I have been to I made the mistake of showing how I felt on my face with "Uh did they actually say that" or "WTF no way" or even the "I have to get out of here now" look

Spouse kind of freaked out on me for this. So when I HAVE to go I just have blank stare on my face the whole time.

"We're calling on your neighbours to promote a website"

by Simon in

wow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.

we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".

yeah, right ... sparlock?.

The Watchtower Corporation has paid off CNN...

by Calebs Airplane in

rick mclean gets only 15 minutes of fame.... no mention of how the watchtower protects pedophiles.... http://www.themasonictrowel.com/books/the_hidden_powe_behind_freemasonry/files/chapter_19.htm.

NoMoreHustle

Well that was a dud. Won't be showing spouse, really had nothing to do with WT.

Like Simon said it's about the fugitive. I hope this will help with his capture, that is the main objective at the end of the day.

GREAT SONG FOR THOSE OF US STRUGGLING TO LEAVE THE JW CULT!

by ADJUSTMENTS in

jw
friends

this is a song by lauren hill she had family ties to the jw cult, so it is very touching and moving, she even gets choked up in the middle of the song.

i like to share this song with new ones or old ones and those who have heard it before every now and again, it so refreshing and hopefull!

enjoy it!!!.

Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" is very powerful for many reasons but especially the line: "And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead-role in a cage?"

That small stement made me wonder am I gonna succumb to this BS and continue like nothing is wrong? NO! just can't do it. That is why I don't participate in commenting, service etc. I just show up, sit down & say to myself one day I will be able to get family members out once & for all!

ADJUSTMENTS: I hear ya 100%! That is one of my favorite songs to ponder over & just think to myself that I am not an idiot, this type of brainwashing is real & happens to other people. I just wish family & close friends would just WAKE UP!!

NoMoreHustle

I am crossing my fingers hoping that it isn't percieved by ones that it is an attack on JW Organization. That would really suck because then in my household that will be 2 steps backwards rather than 2 steps forward with my cause to have spouse WAKE UP!
