I used to have a list of the email addresses for several of the higher ranking bethelites but have misplaced it, not that I would have any reason to email any of those frauds at this stage of my life.

Did Polonius kill his wife? A problem with apolegetics

by bohm in

jw
friends

a basic problem with christian apologetics when applied to the bible is that it relies on the tacit assumption you can draw reliable conclusions on the material.

the most common form of apologetics start out by certain claims (the tomb was found empty, the disciples had post-crusifiction experiences of jesus that transformed their lives, etc.

this is hearsay since the person who made the statement cannot be sworn in.

Honesty

Why would anyone care to dissect the events surrounding Jesus' resurrection in order to know the truth about it?

A person either believes it took place or they don't.

In my opinion (yeah, I have one of those too. I'm sitting on it) each person has the privilege of believing it or not and no one will be able to change their minds no matter what 'evidence' or suppositions they provide.

I can't understand why anyone would want to or even attempt to try to change a person's believe about Jesus' resurrection because I believe it is a very private matter between the person and the creator, if there really is one.

brooklyn update january 10, 2015.

we have spent the last few weeks in training at the montgomery facility (near walkill) there are 6 couples that were trained to go on the road as ldc field representatives of the branch.

First if all, what is LDC? You need to remember that many of us have been out for years and when a poster talks in initials so to speak, it confuses us if not pissing us off. So please.......spell this stuff out.
thank you,

Just a guess:

LDC = Low Down Crooks

AM3 about glasses

by Gorbatchov in

jw

antony morris iii told the audience of a meeting last week that's the society's stance about wearing glasses has changed.

from now on the gb does not approve wearing glasses because it gives others the wrong idea of being educated.

parents have to ignore their children's wish of learning to read.

Honesty

Gorbatchov,

AM3 is dumber than a box of rocks but there is no way the fruitcake said that, is there?

i was beginning to get lured in and brainwashed into accepting the religion as the true religion...but something inside of me told me there was something odd.

some time passes and i was invited to a meeting and i accepted.

Run as fast as you can. He is a loser and will always be a loser.

Find a normal person who hasn't been screwed up by a religious cult.

I married a Jehovah's Witness. It was the worst 10 years I have ever been through.

How Bibles And Bible Based Publications Are Created

by Bangalore in

found this article giving an inside look at how wt produces its materials.. http://angelladywriter.hubpages.com/video/how-bibles-and-bible-based-publications-are-printed.

.

bangalore.

Honesty

These tours should be considered by individuals who may genuinely want to see, how Bibles and Bible based publications are created. It truly gives each person that visits the facilities a unique source of appreciation for their Heavenly Father and how he continues to communicate, with his people in these critical times we are living in.

What a crock of shit.

Counsellor needed please!

by stuckinarut2 in

hi all.. i have noticed that many of our forum members have sought professional help from counsellors who deal with ones like us who have broken free from high control groups or "cults".. my self esteem has been rocked by recent events in the cong, and while i know ttatt it still has taken my joy in life away quite a bit.. as you all know, mentally i broke free from the org several years ago, but now that i am trying to start making the physical break, i feel really unsettled and nervous.. i wonder if a good counsellor could assist in helping me clarify and sort my feelings and emotions , and provide help to take practical steps to cut all ties with the org?.

if anyone can provide ideas of good counsellors, it would be appreciated.. thanks everyone!.

Honesty

About 2 years into my 4 year fade I hooked up with 2 mental health counselors who helped me a lot.

My super dub spouse didn't want anything to do with joint counseling so I went alone which hastened my recovery from the destructive cult.

I strongly suggest counseling, especially if you are feeling depressed.
