That’s What Happens When You Leave the Truth.

by John Aquila in

it never failed, when someone got disfellowshipped or left the organization, their life became shambles.

if married, a divorce ensued.

if the person had a great job, the company would lay-off or close.

It's funny you brought this up earlier in a similar post about what decisions you'd have made if not a jw. That girl had a similar experience as me except I made no attempt to be reinstated. I assumed it was some kind of cult but didn't know of any research, I was still afraid for years to look at apostate material but that was still enough for me never to look back. I got busy with living life but I think a little part of me insisted on having a career in the public eye so I could be a constant beacon to expose the lie that a persons life would crumble if leaving the org. I saw nothing but the opposite. I have started looking back recently though as its lingering effects became clear to me. nothing too serious, nothing like when I was a jw, but coming to terms with the way I was raised has also done a world of good for me.

Lorenz Reibling gives interview about real estate

by OrphanCrow in

this interview was posted april 16, 2015 on youtube.

lorenz reibling's replies to the reporter in argentina are in english.. lorenz reibling is intimately connected to the watchtower society and, according to some sources, is a jw himself.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3ssa-9yvii.

so who is lorenz reibling?

I thought, "ho-hum"' until I went on the haemonetics website and saw an annual return of over 900 million and thought maybe we should stop talking about this. That's a joke but I had no idea of the blood management industry.

I Don't Get It!

by John Aquila in

there are literally about thirty young single very good looking sisters in this one kingdom hall under the age of 30. that is just one kingdom hall.

in the circuit there are literally hundreds of young beautiful jw girls under 30 who are single and anxious to get married.

about two years ago, this one single good looking brother who is about 30 years old and who is an elder married this plain looking sister who is 59 years old.

What Road Would You Choose---IF?

by John Aquila in

say you could go back in time to when you were 15 years old.

no watchtower in your life.

but the experience you have now you could keep.

jerryminor

John I took every shot I could after getting disfellowshipped. What's the worst that happen to you for trying? I was lucky to make it through that mess but boy the rewards were so sweet after taking the risk. Which really isn't one when you think about life as a whole. Do what makes you happy! You'll be happy.

Mind control.

by New day in

in a recent thread someone mentioned that the wtbts uses mind control techniques.

do you think this is a conscious ploy?

if it is it would mean that the leaders of my religion (i am still an active jw) set out consciously to control people.

jerryminor

I think most of the experts would agree that mind control, or undue influence as Hassan is calling it now is actually more a way that all humans learn. The Watchtowers intent is to control but the breakdown of what happens to people under undue influence may not be conscience to them. It would seem throughout the heiracy somewhere someone must know the bullshit. But remember Captives Of A Concept was a phrase Franz used to describe the governing body and the org. I don't think you have to know exactly what you're doing to use mind control. But the desire to control is quite obvious and anybody trying to control another adults behavior is evil.
