HAHA I love that it keeps getting put back up by people. I used to work at Bethel 20 years ago, this type of thing would have gotten people kicked out. Now I'm 40 and it's so sad to see all these young people brainwashed just like I was. But no doubt many of them will also find freedom like I have. Oh well, I'm sure if this was allowed 20 years ago you would have seen me in that video acting like a self righteous idiot too. LOL! -

I've been thankfully free of this religion for 15 years now, and I know this is said over and over again, but it's true, I totally don't recognize this religion anymore. It now looks like any other church would have looked to me 15 years ago. -

My Grandmother who was born in 1920 was a JW, my parents were JW's and I of course was also born into it. That religion totally has destroyed my family and that of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Please research them fully and read the stories of others; the smiling faces you see at the study and the fluff they teach you is NOT the full reality of what your life will become should you join them. -

If Your JW Parent Died Would YOU Go To The Kingdom Hall For The Talk?
by minimus ini would like your thoughts, please..

No. HELL NO! My parents were emotionally and physically abusive to me growing up, who later shunned me when I made my escape from that doomsday death cult. They wrote me letters disowning me. That was about 12 years ago. They could already be dead for all I know.

JW Flash Mob
by Listener ina flash mob is defined as a large public gathering at which people perform an unusual or seemingly random act and then disperse.. jws are now in on the act and were doing this in bath on unsuspecting convention delegates during their tours after the convention.
they did this on at least three seperate occassions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hmrqr-k4hq.
here's another one, not so public though.

It's just so absurd. So glad I've been free of them for 15 years now. I don't even recognize what they have turned into.

I grew up as a gay JW and let me tell you it is a hellish nightmare! I stayed closeted until I was an adult as I knew I would lose my family should they find out prior, and I knew I couldn't handle it as a teen. The grand majority of all gay people realize they are gay at 12-14 years of age, just when a heterosexual figures it out. It is absolutely NOT a choice and NOTHING is going to change your sexuality. I tried for YEARS and it only caused horrible emotional damage. I can't even begin to explain the guilt that I had thinking that God hated me for something I couldn't help. As an adult I came out and sure enough my family rejected me, but at least I was able to care for myself and had friends outside of the religion first. I recently watched the Tony Tight Pants video of him mocking gays and how they want men to wear tight pants, so gross of him. As almost impossible as it sounds it seems as if they are much worse in hating gay people now then when I was younger. I am fully disgusted with this cult! My heart aches for all the poor young gay kids who will go through this same hell if not worse...

2 Faced JWs and Thanksgiving
by minimus inmany jws enjoy turkey on thanksgiving day and are often discreet about their indulgences.
why be two faced?
why try to excuse it?.
-
cleanideas
Wow and I thought MY family was the only one! LOL! Yeah all the time growing up on Thanksgiving day we had turkey with all the trimmings - It was OK because my crazed JW mother said it was cheaper and we weren't really celebrating it. HAHA!

Australian cult leader - A former Jehovah's Witness
by Hidden-Window ina documentary states that this cult leader, who claims to be jesus, used to be "a jehovah's witness pastor".
i guess they mean elder.
does anybody from australia recognize him?.

I'm wondering how long until the JWs build a compound (oh wait they have) but then require everyone to move there to truly give up their lives to it.

Welcome to all "lurkers" and new forum members!
by stuckinarut2 init seems like we have had quite a few new members join up over the last few months!.
has anyone else noticed this?.
i guess that most of us "lurked" here for some time before we got the courage to actually join up and start as a proper forum member?
