Sometimes I am very puzzled ...!!!
by fulltimestudent inrecently the extremely smart (so he tells us) but comparatively inexperienced person, elected by the very smart people who live in the usa, to be their president, announced that he was limiting ties with qatar (a small arab state in the middle east) on the grounds that they were supporting terrorism.. and yet, the very next day, he authorises the sale of twelve billion us dollars worth of modern american fighters (f15s) to that small state, in which is located ... .
" ... the biggest us military base in the middle east, al udeid.
ten thousand american personnel are there, many of them prosecuting the air war against isis in syria and iraq.

After leaving the cult I learned it is ok to change and grow and make adjustments as situations change. You don't have to save the world, you only have to save yourself. Let this new experience unfold, and try to enjoy the path you are on.

Jehovah's Witnesses denial of what they are supposed to believe from Watchtower
by jambon1 inone of the most frustrating things.
when you confront jw's about what they believe they will often deny it.
such as "if your child is disfellowshipped then you can't have contact with them ever again".

Should a JW accept Veteran payments?
by Tantalon inhello people,.
i was born in but long time faded.
i think i hold current jws to a higher standard than they now maintain.. here's the thing; my father is very old, in his nineties and been a jdub for over 60 years and even made it to elder till he got too old.on a recent visit my siblings and dad were saying how wonderful that veterans affairs were.

Well since it was my dad's service in the Army during war that made him join the cult in the first place, I guess I don't have a problem with it.

Jehovah's Witnesses proselytizing in schools
by Funchback inthis happened in brazil.
it's taken from a blog and it has been translated by me from portuguese to english.12 jun 2017 - jehovah's witnesses obtained authorization from the municipality of redenção do gurgueia (pi) to proselytize in the elementary schools of the city between may and early june 2017. .
officially, the witnesses did an "educational work", with lectures, videos and they supplied study material.

I am so sick of them spreading their cult to children. No religion should be allowed in a public school to try to warp kids views.

You can roll your eyes all you want. The shooter asked whether it was Democrats or Republicans practicing - and then a few minutes later the shooting started. Now why would someone target a group of republicans from various states? Hmmmm, maybe because of all the lies and hatred being spewed, about how Republicans are racist and every other vile thing. Some people believe what they see on the news.

This is what happens when facts are distorted and Republucans are made out to be evil. I expect more of this as the left doubles down on dividing the country.

Why is the approval of family so important?
by jwfacts inone of the reasons people remain pimo is fear of losing family.
those that are disfellowshipped and shunned regularly comment about how devastated that they have lost the approval of their parents.. when i respond to emails from people saying how difficult it is being estranged or looked down on by their parents, i would like to say that over time they will come to terms with it, except i not sure that people ever do.
i cannot shake that feeling either.

When I made the decision to leave I had to give up the notion of having my parents approval. It was very difficult. Once I realized the manipulation I was able to better deal with it. Being able to see emotional blackmail for what it is has helped me to be less emotionally engaged. It's a sad reality for most who try to leave this cult.

I get irritated with those who trivialize the strength it takes to leave, to really untangle yourself from the mess of a cult JWs are.
Also the ones who victim blame the abused children for their abuse. Or who deny that it goes on.
Other than that, I can take my lumps for my beliefs and it's fun to debate, but it has no efffect in real life.
