Having had for personal and professional reasons the opportunity during four decades to attend several congregations in different languages and in different countries (Europe and Asia) has allowed me to better realize the very high level of hypocrisy, brainwashing and rampant machismo of almost all the elders (and those more up in the JW.ORG pyramid), what I guess would have been much more difficult to realize if I had attended only one congregation in only one country for example. After such an experience dissociation was a must for me and the only solution to regain my self-esteem, my joy in life and my respect for the Allmighty God and my neighbours !!!.

Mister Putin accepts, or even encourages one of the most vile human acts, just as a criminal would do..

Is The Person Who Helped You “Get Into The Truth” Still Around?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i helped, unfortunately, many people to become baptized jws.

recently, over the last few years, i saw many of my students who were still “ in the truth “ lament that i was no longer associating or active in the faith.. i do feel bad that i did such a good job that most of them still are in the cult.. are your teachers still around or did they wise up and leave the lord’s organization?

?.

This Person gave me a nice Bible teaching in 1971 and brought me to baptism in 1972, baptism done only in the name of God and Jesus (baptism was not done at that time moreover in the name of an American organization). This person died more than twenty years ago. I must say that he was very friendly and very humble and always ready to help. Nothing to do with the nowadays "phallocentric elder class" members licking the ass of the so called "holy" eight GB members today.

The Reasons for Cart Witnessing

by Simon in

whatever we think of it, you have to admit that it's quite "genius".. the door to door ministry as done in western developed countries where the jw quirky religion has probably reached their saturation level was a complete and utter waste of time in terms of the effort expended to recruit people.. at the same time, it was rarely something that anyone enjoyed which led to people being labelled as inactive, being pressured to doing more and maybe ultimately deciding jwism wasn't for them and leaving.. there was also the issue that many jws are actually pretty bad at knowing and articulating their beliefs so were pretty incapable of getting any meaningful message across.. they solved all this with the cart witnessing.

the real point isn't to recruit, it's to make life easier for jws.

now they can stand and chat with their friend, have a coffee, not talk to anyone or make eye contact and still act as a walking billboard for jw.org.
