just as i think my loathing for the jw cult has peaked, it goes higher and higher.
i wish this cult would just go away.
i wish my wife would just wake up.
And IMHO you should definitely stop enabling.
I wouldn't call helping someone get ready for the meetings "caretaking".
It's enabling, comparable to buying an alcoholic beer.
You don't have to block the driveway when she tries to leave for the meetings, but you sure as hell don't need to help her get ready.

I don't believe people "have to figure it out on their own". I say get out the cheese grater.
"Hey hon, I would like to do a daily reading of the bible together, without literature or anything else, just god's word. Except I would like to choose the scriptures. Would you be willing to do that?"
Then pick all scriptures from evilbible.com.
i am working, more in the planning stages, where i am going to offer a commentary on the caleb and sophia cartoons that the org puts out.
i noticed a heavily patriarchal bent to the narrative that these cartoons offer.
i would really enjoy working with someone who has an academic background in feminist philosophy, or at least someone knowledgeable.
We can all agree the jw cult is misogynistic in the past, present and future.
For those who are trying to reduce the future growth of the cult and shrink it now, publicizing the misogyny is an effective tool. It is also important for the personal growth of ex-cultists.
It would be a shame to allow external debates to drown out this important cult issue.
Comments about how annoying other extremists are seem to have no place in this thread.
It saddens me that nearly every discussion on the Internet that aims to discuss egalitarianism degrades into this same old crap.
..."we are"--at this point i began shaking my head no--"stopping by to share a scripture.".
she had the wt and bible in her hand.. "please do not come to this house ever again.".
"ok we will put you on the do not call list.
I am decidedly not non-confrontational. I just fail to care about helping a current cultist who believes it strongly enough to engage in recruitment.
Mainly, it's because I know the help-one-person-at-a-time approach is SO much less effective than prevention efforts.
I suppose I am helping the individual a little bit by having a firm answer instead of just not answering the door or saying, "No thank you." She certainly knows I object to her message, at least.
Also, it was in the middle of my workday.
i guess we have to assume that jesus was circumcised on the 8th day but what about adam?
he was "perfect", so did he have the weenie cut or not?.
i would like to bring this question up at a "get-together".. rub a dub .
Yes, Adam was circumcised when he was 8 days old.
Jehovah made Adam fall into a deep sleep.
Because there were no other people in existence yet, Jehovah used animals to perform the procedure. They bandaged the wound with fig leaves.
hadn't seen this site before, i thought i'd share it:.

Do you feel a need or desire to help or talk to cultists for any reason? In most cases, I don't.
i know this sounds like a ridiculous question but i was talking with my mom in the car today and of course we got on the topic of getting babtized again.
she told me that jehovah holds me accountable for my sins regardless of wether i am babtized or not so i have no reason to be holding back because it won't change anything.
my parents are the type of super strict jw who will shun you just for not being a witness.

1. Disappear overnight.
2. Come back with a glowing smile.
3. Tell them you got baptized by elopement--it's a new trend among youth--you disappear like someone running away to get married, but you get baptized instead.
have a look: jwstuff.org [email protected].
and this isn't idolatry?
knorr and franz must be spinning in their graves..... .
I'm enough of a cynic to believe that this site is probably run by an apostate who is using "Yes, we are Jehovah's Witnesses" as a form of "Anti-Theocratic Warfare".
I am seriously thinking of doing this, but this is me we're talking about, so the messages will need to be a lot more on the edge.
