  Disturbing/Puzzling Skit at JW Function Last Night Plus Odd Choice of Music

  by Cadellin in

  2. experiences

  so i attended a fairly large jw gathering last night with my active, elder husband.

  it was a good-by party for a former special pioneer couple who have been demoted to reg pios and have now moved to a larger city to find work.

  anyway, there was music and skits.

  2. experiences

  my name is christian and my wife is katja, and we have been out of the organization for a year and a half.

  we were both regular pioneers and i was a ministerial servant.

  we were very much happy to be witnesses and doing our best to do more for the organization.

  Coming to terms with the Watchtower experience

  by Lee Elder in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it is a challenge coming to terms with your experience as a jehovah's witness.

  if you were born and raised as a jw, and your parents were true believers, the impact on your life is profound, lasting, and largely negative.

  in some cases quite abusive emotionally, spiritually, financially, educationally and yes, even sexually.. i recently watched "trumbo", and was quite moved by dalton trumbo's speech to the screen writers guild in 1970. here is an excerpt that i think is quite relevant to this topic:.

  How much of the Society's publications just get stored away in the garage?

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  almost a year ago i moved back to the dallas - fort worth area after spending 16 years in the northern california area.

  the area i live in has several nearby parks and walkways and these areas have several "share a book" pods mounted on a pole spaced about 1/2 mile from one another.

  people are encouraged to add books they no longer use to these pods and to take one if they are interested.. i have been diligent on removing watchtower publications from them and what has surprised me is how many old publications in pristine condition are added almost on a daily basis.

  when i cleared out my fathers house--there were magazines everywhere--packed in empty cereal boxes. dating back to the early 60's. 1000's of the things. in the garage. in the kitchen cupboards. under the beds. in wardrobes. took several car trips to the tip.

  i never want to see a jw rag mag or book ever again.

  Pshycos! - 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention Program

  wow this is interesting!

  i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.

  they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

  Those of us going to memorial

  how are you feeling?.

  we weren't going... but a confrontation with family blew things up.

  we decided we are going- because we are planning on moving and this is the last jw thing.

  What would you do if you won a $300 million lottery

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i would pay a highly rated, very expensive advertising company to run a 1 minute ad that ran nationwide primetime every night of the week until i spent $75 million of it telling how the wt was covering over pedophiles and for people to go to jwfacts.com for the truth about the truth.

  it would be done in very good taste, way better than political ads.

  i would spare no expense.

  They want to get rid of "anointed ones" - It's getting clear

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've never met a group that turns on it's members like the jw's.

  sister faithful that thinks she's anointed is now bat shit crazy with mental illness.

  we all have known it's true, but now you have the wt, who put it in everyone's head that you can be anointed.

  just to recap

  the 144,000 is a literal--definite number--right--?

  the 12,000 from each tribe of Israel--is symbolic--right ?

  only i get confused easily.
