i mean no disrespect to sd-7 or his fine thread on which this picture has already featured, but i think it is just so ridiculous that it deserves a thread all of its own.. lurkers and apologists, this is how your precious organization views itself.... behold the madness.... .

Appreciate your observations, Cedars. I agree that the pictures have a great deal of meaning to the R & F. The GB are conveying a powerful message with this one.

New Release for 2013 District Assemblies

by RubaDub in

an insider at bethel has confirmed that there will be a new book released this summer at the district assemblies.

the society is using some new technology called "current light.

" it allows them to print the book with certain parts in permanant ink (as has been historically used) while other parts of the book have erasable ink.. as i understand it, sentences that begin with words such as "evidently, apparently, obviously, it appears that, likely, clearly, doubtless" and numerous other phrases will be in a slightly different font so that the "current light" sentences can be easily changed when needed.. for example:.

How many went from christian to something else?

i noticed some posters who used to argue along christian lines, but don't do so, anymore.

granted, it's a tough line to keep to on this forum.

i would be interested to hear (read) of people who came here as believers, and then transitioned to unbeliever, and the reasons for that.

after this whole thing with him talking to this other girl on fb, now he deleted me as a friend.

i have his username and password.

it's like, he doesn't want this marriage to work at all.. i don't even have it in me to argue with him.

Cognac, I wish you well. Please do all you can to take care of your own interests, no matter what happens. Fight for your marriage if that is waht you want to do, but never leave yourself vulnerable.

If you were an "Outie" were you even invited to a Family JW Funeral?

cyberjesus's grandpa died.

he is going to the funeral.

that is what prompted this thread.. three years ago, my parents died, a few weeks apart.. my brother, only son, oldest of us 3 kids, is da or dfed, long time ago.. no one even let him know, his mom and dad had died.. his son, or our 1st cousin, i don't remember which, called several months later, to let him know.. do you know of any other xdubs, this cruelty, has been afflicted upon?.

Not as drastic as what happened with your brother Lois, but when my brother got sick with cancer last year no one told me for a long while. Then no one told me it was terminal until the last few weeks. I found out he had died from his daughter's facebook page. I couldn't travel to the funeral, so I tried to arrange a video link. The family finally agreed to do one, but only after they arranged to have it at an elders house. My mom freaked out, afraid that I was going to do something to "bring reproach" at the funeral otherwise.

The Hare psychopathy checklist is pretty eye-opening. There are a lot of people who fit the criteria.

The important thing is knowing how to identify them and not being taken in by their "charm"

i hope this is not a repeat of past threads and i hope to get a lot of response.

i am compiling info of how people are treated within the wts.

i just read the post about a person being counseled for having baby shower games.

I was told I should not sit in the front row with my 2-year-old daughter because she would look backwards and make the people in the rows behind us laugh.

How did you feel making your first post here?

i was scared sh*tless.

i stayed home from work for four days scared to go out of my house thinking god would strike me down by lightening if was wrong with my thoughts... i couldn't sleep at all.... but i had to take that first step... as scary as it was....

INteresting - Jgnat, that you would be afraid someone would find out, given that you are not a JW, so there couldn't be any JW-type consequences (i.e. DFing) for it. I'm guessing you were worried about what might happen to your husband, given that he should be exercising headship and keeping you in control?

The tentacles of this cult are truly far-reaching.
