I am just in awe of technology. So many of us did speeches like this in classes before the Internet existed, and only a few dozen sitting in the room heard it. Now look at how much easier it is to distribute a message! Hundreds of thousands of people now are not vulnerable to join a cult, just from that single act.

she already said our children will watch
this girl is still very in
Run.
I was 500% out of the borg, and had been for a very long time, when I met mr. rebel8. And once he found out I had been (forced to be) a jw as a child, he asked me to vow I would never go back.
mr. rebel8 has no cult history himself. He just understands that brainwashing can cause relapses. So think about all that--a non-jw objectively understands the cult relapse potential, and here you are thinking about deliberately entering a relationship with an intent to expose your future children to the cult.
Dude. Don't do it.

If a person is "in", it is entwined inside her core self. It's who she is (as evidenced by how painful extraction is).
Sure, she may feel right now that this difference between you is fine. She's young and still at the age when rebellion and open-mindedness are part of the developmental stage she's at.
But it is a probable eventuality that she will find herself someday need to bring things to a head, making a painful choice between you and the borganization.
If you are starting out a marriage with this giant divide between you, I worry you are starting a doomed relationship.
Would it make sense to try to have her bring her decision to a head now, before you get engaged? Let her know what's at stake and give her time to decide. Maybe she will continue to explore the facts with you.

Carry a tote bag that says, "Resistance is futile."
Bring a copy of the 1934 Yearbook, carefully highlighting the anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi statements as you slowly read it during the talks.

I like the tally idea.
Doodle a very complex, intricate design that has "cult" hidden in it.
Take notes by writing down only the most crazy things they say. Embellish for fun. Or bring a tiny device that makes the smallest noise on command. Ring it every time they say some rule that's not in the Bible.
In case someone peeks on your notes, add juicy personal reminders to yourself about masturbation being evil.
Or make a big title of your notes page in black marker quoting the scripture about the Pharisees making rules that aren't in the bible, then just write your notes like normal underneath.
Be the loudest clapper and singer in the joint.
Smile from ear to ear nonstop like the Joker.
During the breaks, discuss the program with Stepford Wives' positivity and intelligence. Be sure to use the same sing songy voice, vacant stare and forced smile.
Dress just 1 click past the avg dub. Go all out with the jw dot org stuff or super spiritual clothing.
Bring a small carry-on bag filled with publications. Hey, bookbags are a mark of spirituality--yours will be biggest--you win!
Bring a full array of different colors of highlighters and pens. Color code while you take incessant notes.
Blow your nose constantly.
Every time they mention demons/Satan, mumble gibberish and gently roll your head and eyes back every time they say it. Then snap out of it and pretend like nothing happened.
Go to the practical joke store:
- wear a fake rotten tooth and smile a lot
- they have these tablets called Pee Pucks--you just put them in the toilet tank and it turns the water yellow--then amuse yourself by listening for how many times the next person flushes
- fart noise makers and smell makers

How do I get the COBE to pay back the money he and his ripped off from my ex-wife, he's the guy who claims he make's Pedophiles Holy by YHWH's power!
by PhilsWager2 inthe cobe of the local kingdom hall never paid my ex-wife for the work done because they promised they would use "trade" to reimburse close to $5000 worth of work.
as you can imagine nobody here would like him because he believes all the pedophiles can change their ways after the child sex offenders have proved their humility by bowing before the judicial committees.
this is how honest jehovah's witnesses are, they changed her work from a 1200 sq.

You can try to file a claim in small claims court for the $5k and see what happens.
As to the taxes, sure, go ahead and report them. (Won't matter if they're exempt.)
And as to the dishonesty about the building permit, report that too.
Promoting enforcement of laws is perfectly ethical and effective.

Interesting. I hope we get a chance to hear the rest of the story. Making statements about the cross doesn't typically get a kid removed from his parents' custody. -

blackwolf, you have to hang in there until you're able to leave home safely when you're an adult. "Distress tolerance" techniques would help with coping with both your home situation and your ED.
People suck. Dubs suck harder. Journal about what it's like to be an actual good, healthy person--the opposite of dubs. What it's like to have a life worth living. How you're going to go about doing that.
