"They are the group of Christians..."- only in their own minds. Nobody I know considers them 'Christian'.
"...His will.."- you mean like hiding pedophiles? breaking up families and not allowing natural affection? making requirements on dress, make up, hair cuts, etc...? Those things do make them 'unique' as far as religious folks go. Most religions claim love, family, helping widows and orphans, feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, etc...
Happy New Year to all! safe driving if you are going out tonight!
translation needed for this german 2019-december letter.
does it say there won't be any more preaching in bolivia?

"...the corporation"- is this term used in regularly? I don't think in the US it would go over as well.
had to create a new account cause i couldn’t login to my old one.. anyways, my ex- a male jw was trying to go for full physical custody of our kids.
he had his wife call dcf but of course i won.
he had no leg to stand on.. so, we need to go back to court in february.
i find it kind of amusing that as worldly people who pass by a kh and know nothing of jw's tonight will think that the jw's are having a christmas eve service.
many churches have a number of services tonight; children's program, family/christmas eve service and maybe a midnight candlelight service.. you know how some jw's won't even wear red between nov & dec lest anybody think they are celebrating the holidays?
well then, shouldn't they cancel tonight's meeting so nobody thinks they are doing their own christmas eve service?

Ha, no, I don't usually post here while having a glass, usually coffee. Though there may have been a few meeting nights I might have.....
hi i haven't posted for a while but i have a question and would appreciate any advice offered.
i left the cult 2 years ago and i'm so happy now.
i struggled at first and with the help of the lovely men and women on here i got stronger and started to find myself and ive grown as a person (i'm not being told who i am or who i should be anymore).
Learn how to teach a child critical thinking skills.
Do holidays! be the fun parent with birthday parties, Christmas, Easter, after school sports, band, arts, etc....
Visit various faiths to learn about world religions and to let your ex know in no uncertain terms that you will be teaching the child all about other faiths.
Teach the child it is more than ok to be an individual with their own thoughts, beliefs, likes and dislikes.
Teach the child to question everything even if it comes from you, dad, grandparents, teachers and especially religious authorities. When it is age appropriate teach them about cults.
Bring the child to a fun Sunday school! they do arts, crafts, dance, plays and so forth and still learn basic Bible stories. Quite a difference from a kh from what I hear.
Do all you can to protect your child's well being. Protect them from spiritual abuse, physical & sexual abuse, mental and emotional abuse. Be the mother bear and protect your child.

Me too!
a deeply interesting read.. i have been reading: 'soul snatchers,the mechanics of cults' and i am finding it so precise in explaining /analysing cults.
here is a few lines:.
drug addiction and cult-membership have striking similarities.
Sounds like an interesting book!
kevin macfree has outdone himself with this one!
i think it's as good as his yellow brick road one.. i absolutely love the ghost with the blue skin!!
(won't spoil it for you make sure you give him a like!.
