my jw niece quit college a short time ago and didn't finish her degree, which she seems very excited about and took on a menial job, which she doesn't too happy about, according to my father.

my father (not a jw) is wondering what happened and if it is possibly something "the church" is now promoting.

when my daughter went to a 2 year college i had some negative comments from those in the congo.

Hospital Liason committe--another deception?
by cyber-sista in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
i posted this on the wt no blood expose topic, but thought i would start it under a separate topic, because i am curious to know what experiences others had with the so called "wt hospital liason committee.

while i was still a jw one of my close family members was bleeding and in need of a blood transfusion .

like good little jws we immediately called the elders in the hall that were in charge of the hospital blood liason committe thing hoping they could help us with the situation.

the delusion of believing they are "good witnesses"
by cyber-sista in
1. jw
2. experiences
i remember how the org always encouraged us to be a "good witness" by telling others about our jw activities and putting our theocratic interests above everything else.

this is a major jw delusion that anyone who is not a jw will be impressed by our unwavering loyalty to the wt org.

just recently my husband had a family reunion we attended in another state.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU!

aloha friends,

still working on my process of separating from the org.

so far i have found it best to have little to no contact with anyone who is still living in jw land, as their state of denial is so disturbing to me.

Honesty/Vs/tolerance--X-JW dilemna
by cyber-sista in
1. jw
2. friends
this has been a struggle i have had since leaving the wt some 2 years ago.

i have been pretty low key thus far about the reasons i have left and haven't really gone out of my way to speak to any jws about it.

i have a nephew that is dfd and my daughter has a friend who is dfd and i have had a few brief discussions with them about the subject of my leaving.

by cyber-sista in
1. jw
2. experiences
anyway, this is an email i received this morning.

don't want to give any disrepectuful comments about it as this tragedy is overwhelming and i am grateful for any who have come out of this alive.

but yet i am still suspicious of any of these jw reports.

WT WARNING EXAMPLES: Anybody see this video?
by cyber-sista in
1. jw
2. experiences
warning examples for our times was a wt release video that came out a couple of years ago.

at the times i was given it to watch so i could know the seriousness of my daughter marrying an unbeliever (any of you who have heard my story know she had never become a believer herself, so technically was an unbeliever too, thus not qualified to marry a believer either, but made guilty by association with the jws--catch 22 situation).

anyway, the video horrified me at the time.
