When you are raised in a cult, you don't know any different. You put your trust in your parents. Until YOU start researching and learning, things start crumbling. NO ONE ELSE CAN DO IT FOR YOU, YOU HAVE TO COME TO YOUR OWN CONCLUSION. It's tough to realize you have been duped.

The Change

by Counter-Watchtower in

the change has begun.

my jw friends that came to my house months ago finally have figured out i am in no way going to become a jw (how it took them that long i have no idea).

now the change to them wanting to have nothing to do with me has begun.

Yep....they dump you like a rock. I lost 100 percent of my "friends." Life goes on! Nothing I did not foresee.

Update on the $4000 day fine - Padron v Watchtower

by berrygerry in

from reddit:.

this was an oral argument to dismiss the $4000/day fine.

both sides presented their arguments and now the judges will write an opinion (30 to 90 days).

I just love Karma!!!

Thanks so much for the update!!!

So there are only 12 magazines left!

by stuckinarut2 in

ok, so hot on the heels of the announcement at the agm, we have been told that there are probably only 12 magazines left!.

yes, there will be only 3 wt each year, and 3 awakes.... and that they will do this for two years, then reprint those issues.... so yes, the "abundance of spiritual food" is limited to 12 more magazines..... surely, this is proof of the end coming so soon!?!

Spiritual paradise is a heart condition and not connected to and ORG, that's what they said?

by Crazyguy in

according to a post over at reddit this was said at the annual meeting.

did anyone else hear this?

this is huge and very telling if they did actually say this.

"Maybe even claiming their being called home. So they sneak out the back door.

....disappearing in the twinkling of an eye. To the Cayman Islands. lol

I have thought the same thing as purrpurr. Paradise is figurative not literal.

Were You Ever SHOCKED That Someone Got Appointed As An Elder?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i remember some men getting appointed and wondering what the hell were they thinking???.

likewise when i came to someone being appointed a presiding overeer or whatever they are called now!

.

ToesUp

Oh....we have seen this soooo many times. I love it when they appoint a young Elder who has no kids, no steady job, no education, no home (still living in parents basement) and NO CLUE! So I'm going to take my problems to this guy and have him tell me what to do? Really? It's laughable!
