Idea on How Defectors Inside theOrganization Can Find Each Other (espionage

by frankiespeakin in

lets work up some good ideas that we can pass on to bethel workers, cos, dos, elders etc... can use to help them to start to find others in the org that know it's not the truth but are stuck inside for various reasons.

lets come up with some way of testing people to so as not to blow ones cover and remain hidden.

plans of espionage that could cause a major blow to the organization from those trapped inside, things like how co can give talks to really discourge the friends and cause them to doubt the organization, all the while it looks like he's are doing what the organization wants him to do.

Secret ring or bracelet? Hmmm, seems to me that the Masons wear their special signet rings. How ironic that would be! LOL!

JW Holidays

about ten years ago i went to centre parcs in the uk and was surprised to find that loads of jws were taking a christmas avoidance holiday.

does this mass holidaying still take place ?

- seems kinda fun.

Here quite a few (read: in the right "cliques, as the entire congregation is not invited) would meet at the Holiday Inn in Stevens Point for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. They really whoop it up.

If anyone mentions anything negative about it, they trot out the old "well, everyone has the day off, so we can all get together" routine.

There was one awkward time when an elderly sister, who had strenuously opposing husband and children, had happened to have their family Christmas in the same Holiday Inn! Still, it was quite embarassing for her to have to open presents with everyone from her congregation nearby.

Beating the Watchtower

in my opinion, the best way by far to beat the watchtower is to:.

live your life to the fullest.

follow your bliss.

I totally agree, frankiespeakin.

My husband is the type to just never speak about it again. Slink away, and let them get away with it, and subsequently the WTBS is allowed to ruin other unsuspecting people. I tell him if he does that, then he is an enabler, the same thing I accused our elders of in child molestation and their 2 witness rule. He is allowing this to happen to others when he is silent.

I, on the hand, want to live a good life, but will always be exposing the cult in every which way I can. He still has alot of deprogramming to do when it comes to not questioning "authority". I tell him that they have won if you don't let people know what they really are. There is room to live a good live AND expose the cult.

my sister found this article in a local newspaper and gave it to me.

seems that a whole group ot j.w.

's entered his house without permission.

In my area, there are a few old-timers (mostly men) that still put their foot in the door. I was apalled the first time I saw it. I was very pregnant at the time, and I think that is what saved us from the cops being called, since I didn't look threatening. My partner, after putting his foot in the door to stop it being shut, actually pushed his way inside and all but pulled me in, too. The woman looked absolutely terrified, as I would have been had total strangers just shoved their way into my house. I just wanted to sink into the cracks in the floor. I was absolutely ashamed to be there.

it takes time...

by googlemagoogle in

today i visited a (ex)jw christian forum, the first one i registered to when i needed to talk about my doubts and thoughts.

i read my posts from 1 year ago, when i was really deep into research about the bible and the canon in particular.

now it will soon be one year ago that i finally accepted that there is no jehovah.

Once again a JW shows how uncompassionate they are. Sadly, I have met many "Dennises" in that religion.

how to live with JW

by freefly in

hey,.

my partner in life (26yrs) has been converted to jw by his mother.. i am not one to whine -as very aware many have more troubles in their life.. i suppose one of my fears has been this exactly- as i know he was raised jw and should have saw the "signs.

" he always regularly visited with his mom, which i respected as felt a good sign he had a mother/son relationship.
