i believe there are some breakaway groups in different parts of the world ,however i think they are small sects and fall under the radar so to speak.
either jw`s or ibsa ?.
does anybody here know of any and have any information about them ?
@Blondie
I just refer to your link to Wikipedia. The çurrent version of Jehovah's witnesses dates back to 1931, and even by then they no longer believed in much of Russell's ideas. So to claim they started in 1870 is a bit far fetched..isn't it ?
Of course..now the current catalogue of beliefs is different to what they taught in 1931..so..yes..they are very much a splinter group from the Russell era.

The judean peoples popular front?
im sure that many on this forum will be aware of the thought-stopping techniques that are taught by jws/wts to suppress difficult thoughts and overcome cognitive dissonance in favour of reverting back to belief in wts.. often in conversation these will be clear verbal cues that can sound unnatural during the course of a conversation, as though an individual is temporarily reading a script to overcome a difficult point.. my question to you all is this:.
are there any methods or resources that people are aware of that can help to break through a thought stopping mechanism when it is noticeably in effect?
a question perhaps, or technique that will encourage the individual to think the thought through in its entirety?.
the truth = the CULT
they really dont like that word.
hello all, first post so a whistle stop of who i am first!.
’unbelieving husband’ here married to pimi wife living in uk.
anyway on with the post.... i attend the kh this weekend with pimi wife, i’ve been a handful of times before.
just to set the record straight...some sisters are allowed to handle the microphone: they must be somberly dressed--with their head covered. a cardboard box has to be placed over their head to they cannot see or be recognised.
they also have to walk backwards and wear rubber gloves.
finally--they are not permitted to fondle, stroke, lick or suck the microphone.
just wondering..my step-grandfather, (he eventually persuaded my widowed jw grand-mother to marry him and he was already well into his 80's but had lusted after her for some time, she being an incredibly bonny woman)..i digress..he eventually converted to the jw religion, but because of health issues was baptised at home in the bath..
i wonder--if a person lay down on the ground--and a number of others persons stood around him, and pissed on him--would that count as a baptism ?
having learned more actual christian beliefs since awaking from the org, looking back we had such strange and unhealthy obsession with demons compared to any other denomination that i know of.
i recently remembered this article from when i was a kid.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101986604?q=talk+to+the+demons&p=par#h=23.
from my experience--i think the jw generation born in the 1920's and 30's were obsessed with stories of demons. Even my late father was hooked into it--and would repeat any demonic bullshit story told to him by some crackpot. yet he was otherwise a very sane and intelligent man.
i was terrified by the thought of demons as a child--only getting over it as my teen years progressed. then--in my late 20's i overheard my crazy mother in law telling it all over again to my young kids. i hit the roof and really told her what i thought of it all.
but i think the current young generations know its all just nonsense. in the civilised world anyway.

Hello Peeringin..welcome to the site. Im also in the UK..but have been out of that crazy cult for 40 years.
i had a friend and we always speculated on "new light" before it came out.
i was an elder then and he was housebound, but a non-judgemental person.
we had long discussed the growing number of anointed (in the 90's) and speculated how they would "new light" it away.
I wonder what the percentage of PIMO really is.?
Any suggestions?
"be bold" circuit assembly in conyers, ga (usa) today.. average attendance was 1220...5 baptized....mid aged or olders ones, no kids.
must be near the end...the "speeding up" is slowing down?
Its called negative growth
