on video "benefits of divine education" william samuelsson makes totally appalling comment.. starting from 3:05 he refers to "an effort" that was made in past to see how society's curriculum corresponds with normal - worldly - universities.. then he claims that following question was asked (to university representative) "how we in five months can teach the same that for them takes two years"?.
according to w samuelsson the representative of a university replied something like this: "your students are motivated, they have come to learn where as our students have been send to university by their parents and might have something else than learning in their mind".
this is to crystallize what he said.
WT has always demonized EVERYTHING. I never realized how much they did it until I exited the cult. No one can do it better than Watchtower. In other words...you will never succeed better than what Watchtower has to offer. Try telling a university that you received the same training in a cult that you could have received at a two to four year university. They will laugh in your face.
Narcissists always think they are the very best.
this poor girl was baptized at 9yo.
.
she isnt old enough to buy alcohol, to vote, to decide her own medical treatment, to buy a pet, to travel alone... yet she was deemed old enough to dedicate her life to a religion that will cut her off from her family if she ever leaves.. here she is applauded for shunning her own sister who tried to keep in contact with her after waking up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yzgnfda8ki.
Mold em while they are young! That's why we got our kids out of the cult.
Watchtower has sunken to it's lowest on this one. Really Watchtower, you have to use kids to get your dirty disgusting message to the drones?
hi i am just starting to rebuild my relationship with jehovah.
.
i would like to hear from people who may be or have been in similar situations and now want to dedicate their lives to him..
Everyone has given you great advise. I hope you read through it all. I only have one word for you when returning to Jehovah (aka the organization).....RUN!
a friend sent me this link to a very interesting video.
more adverse publicity for the wtbts.
(apologies if already posted).
So glad to see the media getting the truth about WT's vile practices.
it's biggest problems are associated with its lack of genuine love and concern for the rank& file.
the average person doesn't need a food critic to tell them their hamburger is shit, in the same manner the average person can discern kindness and love.
gbs fake love and concern is evident in the way head office deals with victims of sexual abuse by jw clergy.
"She said 'we will in paradise without you but it doesn't matter because we won"t remember you ever existed."
Unbelievable, that your own Mother said this. I couldn't even think this much less say it to my own child. This is some sick sh*t!
I am sad for you. This is hurtful beyond belief. I'm sorry. Hugs!
a video that i wish i'd seen before i was baptized.
i think you'll all get something out of this:.

So true! Thank you for sharing!

Lack of love and concern is what shook us awake. For years I told my spouse, "something is just not right." Once you see WT for what it is , you can not unsee it. Love and concern is either there or it's not. We have been married for many years and I have NEVER had the feeling of not being cared about in our marriage. We don't buy the JW's line, "the organization is made up of imperfect men." That is a cop out! If I went to the Elders with a sin that I committed, they would interrogate me, DF or reprove me and then announce my name from the platform (humiliate me). There is NO...."well, we'll let it slide, he/she is just an imperfect person." No free pass for me. If the congregation has to be kept clean by disciplining me, when will the congregation be "kept clean" from these imperfect men who are free to plow over everyone's life? I see a pattern of Watchtower wanting their cake and eating it too.
there is a plethora of convention photos on my instagram this morning.
(a lot of my jw friends have forgotten i'm on their followers list) .
smiling faces standing next to convention posters with comments like 'nope, i'm not giving up.
"translate to "Look at how theocratic I am everyone !".
You just described some of our "theocratic/spiritual" family members. If the cameras are out and they are up in New York with the WT rock stars, we all get texted the photos. A true photo op. They look wonderful to the JW on lookers but can't function in the real world. I truly believe they would have a melt down if they had to live our everyday lives. All Jw...all the time!!
john cedars latest youtube video refers to last weekend's wt study article which some have referred to on another thread but i am truly outraged at the continuing misogynist attitude toward women.
not only did that study article say if women have a family to care for it will stop them gossiping or meddling into other people's affairs, lloyd shares on his video a talk by sam herd from when he was a c.o in 1971.
(i hope he has since changed his opinion!
I wish I knew someone who could get this nonsense to the media. I would love to let the public know how sexist this cult is.
those are the words of my 2nd generation born in jw mother.
my grandfather died refusing blood.
i've since come to the realization that many jws have no other opportunities or options when it comes to leaving the cult.
Yes, we see the faces of our family. Aging with no savings, retirement or education to fall back on. It is sad but they really have no where else to go. They have NO worldly friends and there family is all in. Most of our family do not even know their neighbors. We know our neighbors and have found out that most would give you the shirt off their backs if they had to. They know if they left they would have no one. What a terrible, sad way to exist. WT is a social club, nothing more.
