  trying not to type swearwords as i write this so bare with me.. my little 3yo attends meetings with her jw mum (who doesn't believe watchtower anymore but is stuck in because she relies on her family for help).

  my mum (the one who tells people im dead) had a party for her grandchildren.

  that's my 4 nieces and 1 nephew aged from 3yo-11yo.

  Would probably be interesting to know how your wife's elder father explained that away?

  "It's just kids being kids. They shouldnt do that although... if her dad was a Jehovah's Witness it wouldnt have happened. Just saying..." I asked this question to her mum on the phone after you posted it.

  That is typical JW behavior, instead of taking responsibility for their own bad behavior, it's your fault because you don't go to the hall.

  I was so fake and artificial. Only caring about appearances, never really caring about anyone but myself.

  Service = How we do our part to get saved, not really to help anyone else. Telling everyone how great being a witness is, while hating every second of it.

  Meetings = have to attend or get destroyed at Armageddon, not because we are learning to be better people.

  Shallow- I only dated "brothers" with money (except for one bethel overseer).

  2. bible

  watchtower november 2017, page 10, paragraph 8 - "today, a christian guilty of serious sin needs to seek the help of congregation elders to recover.

  ) why is this so important?

  first, the arrangement for elders to handle cases of serious sin comes from jehovah, (2nd lie!

  Using Illegal Means for Righteous Activism

  by John Davis in

  2. beliefs

  i wanted to get people's opinion on something.

  how do you feel when people use illegal means while performing their activism to shed light on the watchtower.

  there have been people who have illegally recorded conversations with elders and with branch offices or at meetings.

  Not every state in the US requires two party consent to record a conversation. In many places it's not illegal. I think bringing to light the actions of judicial committees is far more important.

  This makes me so mad, but unfortunately it's not an isolated incident. I have recently heard a similar experience regarding a relatives 3 1/2 year old child. But it does make me believe that these little ones will never join the cult after being treated so badly.

  Another example of the smothering and high control nature of JW husbands

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have noticed another popular pattern of behaviour amongst witnesses in recent years.. many, and i mean lots of ones with instagram accounts have closed the wife's account, and have started a "couple's" account instead.

  also, for families.

  the children's accounts have been closed, and the husband starts a "family account".. it is mainly on the husband's device, and seemingly under his control.

  It's a way to make sure conformity is maintained. No one can develop their own personality, interests, fashion, etc.

  by Anders Andersen in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so today the well-respected and serious newspaper trouw.nl came with child abuse within the jw as their topmost frontpage article.. the articles are well researched and aim primarily at the dutch jw situation.. afaik at least on member of this forum assisted the newspaper with the articles.

  .

  other media are picking up as well.....

  One of my never JW friends said" so if you have consensual sex with another adult, they will disfellowship you, but if you rape a child they do not?" I said" yep, that's how it works."

  Believers: How do you know your view of your chosen holy book is the correct one?

  by punkofnice in

  don't start fighting, darlings.

  i am genuinely curious.

  after all i was a jobo 50 years and thought the wbt$ was 100% correct.. i ask this because i see that, for example, christian denominations (or whatever), likely have differing interpretations of the same writing.

  I don't think anyone has the right interpretation or view. I think we all draw our own conclusions and beliefs based on our experiences. Religion stunts that discovery by drawing conclusions for us and proclaiming their conclusions are 100% correct, then many people stop exploring.

  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but perhaps you are missing some of the pictures you are supposed to be choosing? It only does that to me when I do something wrong.......

  well last sunday night i got phone call from t- dum, he informed me that t-dee was listening in, no doubt practicing his short hand.

  I usually don't engage, but when witnesses have trouble minding their own business, sometimes you have to remind them how invasive it is when someone sticks their nose in your business.
