  Elders and Attendants sing, clap and turn backs on Street Preacher after Duluth RC.

  by ToesUp in

  very strange behavior by the attendants and elders after the duluth, ga, rc.

  on the first link the attendants start to exit the arena, then line up and turn their backs on the street preachers.

  (around the 6:00 mark).. elders and attendants after duluth rc.

  Ignore the protesters - the JWs look just as crazy. I went to a concert where the westboro baptist crazies were protesting. People mainly ignored them some took selfies in front of them, lol.

  "Inactive" non Attenders, how much power do the JW's have over YOU ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking about this because of the constant reminders we get in posts that we inactive non attenders have to be careful what we say to jw's, and what we do that they may learn about etc, if we don't wish to be before a j.c. the power they have is limited by what we give them.

  now, i do not wish to be declared df'd of da'd, it would kill my old mum i think.. but i refuse to live my life looking over my shoulder, that, in my opinion, is giving them too much power.. i openly vote, i openly donate blood, i enjoy the odd cigar etc etc.. how much power do you allow them to have over you ?.

  I do what I want, Christmas, Birthdays, vote, help in community programs. My parents have questioned it when I made the paper for my work in a Christmas charity, I just said it wasn't open for discussion. The only thing I don't do right now is openly criticize the cult. Once my parents are gone all bets are off.

  2. relationships

  need advise.

  i was in a relation with a jw girl for almost three years(im am not jw) and we are so inlove with each other until someone saw us from her congregation and she was disfellowed and that where the oddness happened.

  her family and friends are not talking to her anymore, she wants me to stop seeing and talking to her anymore not until i became a baptized jw.

  Walk away, nothing good can come of this. It will be Jehovah's Witness endorsed emotional blackmail for the rest of your life. It's not worth it, there are billions of people on earth, you will find someone else.

  Got my JC cancelled... (at least for now)

  by Sanchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so my wife and i have been in the process of fading for a few months now as per my original post here.

  about a week ago, i was browsing some ex-jw facebook groups when i saw a post that linked to the crisis of conscience book.

  i said "f@(k it" and hit share on it.. a few hours later, i get a long text letter from my mom (who was a fb friend of mine) telling me the typical "good luck finding friends in the world" and how we have "nothing in common anymore"; basically, it was a 'farewell' text.

  I don't like to lie, but you need to deal with the JWs according to their own rules. They lie and lie and lie some more. So I don't see any reason why you wouldn't treat them the same way.

  Elders Advice Backfired And Now Im The Happiest I've Ever Been

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  just wanted to update you guys of the amazing couple of weeks i've had in recovering from the cult.. i was attending the meetings still just so i could see my daughter in the kingdom hall and have her sit we me half the time.

  i had no intention of ever becoming a jw again but was hoping to be re-instated and just not turn up ever again so i could at least see my family.

  but then an elder said something to me that changed all that.

  I was hoping you went to see a lawyer. I don't think the JWs realize what normal human behavior is. Who says things like that?

  they will only treat you as badly as you allow them to....... Glad you stood up to them.

  I've had enough..

  so last night, after thinking "wow those pesky elders have finally left me alone, maybe since i skipped out on their jc invitation back on august 1st they've given up" wrong.. i go to check the mail and there's an envelope at my front door- lo and behold, another letter from from these elders.. why won't they leave me alone already?

  i'll attach a picture of the letter.. again, same letter as the first one inviting me to a judicial committee on august 15th - and signed by all three elders.. should i just continue to ignore?

  quite frankly i don't give a rats arse i've been enjoying life free from the mind control of the organization, and i just wish they would drop it and let me live life.. like i mentioned before, i am moving to a new home next week, the only reason these elders have my current address ( which happens to be over 100 miles away from the cong ) is because my mother gave it to them, after i gave it to her in confidence to forward me my mail.. so lets just say she won't be getting my new address... i don't have any contact with ones from this congregation (i'm an ex pioneer, so i'm sure if they've gotten word on what i'm doing, i must be satan himself!

  I did go to the police for one of my relatives whom the elders were stalking. The sheriff went and talked to the offenders and they did not resume their surveillance, but my relative did get disfellowshipped anyway.

  It's been 18 years now (time flies). Moving helped a ton, if any witnesses called I just said I wasn't interested and closed the door. A few years after I moved someone from my old hall in another state showed up at my door, they had moved to my town and were working my street (what are the chances?) I was polite but firm and they came back a couple times, but my husband told them they were to leave me alone and they did. I have moved several times since then and haven't had any problems. For my parents - it took a while but we are on good terms now. My siblings not so much. I associate openly with my disfellowshipped relatives and dare anyone to say anything.

  Don't even respond. If you ever need anyone to send you anything do it through one of the post offices etc place. I moved also early in my fade and didn't give any of my family my address or phone. Gotta do whatever it takes to get untangled from this cult.

  Convicted Child Rapist Proselytizing. Is the Community Aware? Is the Community Safe?

  wow, this is awesome.

  this really shows the jw passiveness towards child sex abusers.

  there needs to be more of this exposing this!.

  I think if this happened more often there would be less tolerance from the community about the JWs lax stance on pedophiles.
