I live with a jw, I know full well they are NOT Christians. I am well acquainted with their current doctrines, flip flops, flashing light (new & old light and back again) and ungodly history of this insidious cult. Not to mention their pedophile cover up and everything else they sweep under the carpet so they can appear to be 'clean' when in reality they are nothing but white washed tombs.

I don't know any mainstream Christians who believe jw's are 'Christian' in any sense of the word. The only ones that lump jw's in with Christianity are jw's themselves, proclaiming they are Christian and those who know nothing about jw current beliefs. (which can change on dime at the whim of a few men in NY)

Apostates apparently have their own terminology
by Vanderhoven7 ina dyed in the wool witness actually posted this as if non-witnesses invented unheard of terminology,.
"those who devote their life to criticize jehovah’s witnesses use a lot of very specific expressions and ideas common only to them:.
“8 old men in new york”,.

Cult survivors of many flavors can use many of those "unheard of" terminology. Kangaroo court is hardly unheard of and can apply in many situations besides the dubs.

Never thought I would see this in my family circle
by Captain Schmideo2 inso, my 17 year old niece reveals to me that for the past few years, her father (my sister's husband) has been physically and verbally abusive to her.enough so that it finally came to a breaking point, and she reported it to the police.
she told me that she had wished she had told me sooner, but she was trying to wait til she was 18 so that she could leave.i knew that she and her parents had been locking horns for the past couple of years, but i chalked it up to teen puberty and general growing pains.
but on their last, most recent visit, i could tell that something was really eating at her.apparently, what set off this latest incident was that he discovered that she had been seeing/involved with a non-witness boy about her age, and got so violent with her that it left marks.ironically, she went and got help from her boyfriend's father, a paramedic, who documented the injuries and encouraged her to report it.so, yeah, he spent a night in jail.she is now staying at the parents of her boyfriend, while still trying to have some aspects of her old life (work, school, etc.

Sorry to hear this, sounds like she is in a great home right now. You may not have to say a word about the jw stuff seeing as she is in a home with a youth minister!

This is the description in the 'about' section of the Blue Envelope youtube guy for those of you who don't want to actually go there-
Welcome! I was one of Jehovah's Witnesses for 30 years, before eventually leaving. I was a second generation Witness, ministerial servant, regular pioneer, and spent the final part of my JW career in a foreign language congregation (Spanish). On this channel, I talk about a variety of topics having to do with the religion. I named the channel The Blue Envelope because we talk about things which aren't always common knowledge. Special blue envelopes were used by congregations to send reports of judicial committees to Watchtower headquarters. The distinct color ensured that women working in Bethel mailrooms wouldn't open the correspondence. Service Department eyes only! ~Phil

Arthritis pain. What works for you?
by Fisherman inthere are several prescription meds people use to relieve the pain of arthritis.
they work by suppressing the immune system or by reducing inflammation.
people also use otc anti-inflammatory pills, and even anti-allergy pills are reported to work because of being able to also reduce inflammation but people tell me that they are concerned to use some meds regularly because of potential side effects in long term use.

Here are just a few, as always do your own research. Many have been studied and you can find the actual study abstracts online or find summaries of the studies. Do lots and lots of research then do some more.
turmeric with pepper & ginger
chondroitin
cherry juice/pills for gout flare ups (get a quality one they work)
MSM
cats claw
castor oil and or frankincense with a carrier oil- topically
comfrey- topically
apple cider vinegar ingested and topically (do not drink straight, add a shot or 2 in a glass of water add honey/sugar if you are not used to flavor. Drinking straight is not good for your teeth or throat) After awhile you will actually like this as a drink, try adding your capsaicin to it if you like)
coconut oil ingested & topically and mixed with other ingredients
capsaicin both ingested and they make topical or make your own
acupuncture
yoga
walking/moving
changes in diet- removing things that cause you inflammation
old folk remedy of gin soaked raisins here is a quick article if you never heard of that-https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/gin-soaked-raisins-for-arthritis
I think if you want to stay off of pharma drugs as long as possible you may have to find what works for you. Then it seems that one thing may quit working (just like pharma drugs) and you have to find something else. That isn't always the case, I knew someone that once they tried the cherry juice for their gout (after their doctor/drugs was of no help) they swore by it and said they would never be without it again. It was quite effective for them. Usually people resort to alternatives after big pharma/medical fail to help them or they just don't want to be on expensive meds for the rest of their life.
The placebo effect can be quite helpful. If you truly believe this drug or that will help you, your brain & body are quite capable of making chemicals that can ease pain. There are some good books on the placebo effect and don't forget the noceba effect as well.
All the best to you on your journey, hope it is pain free.

Booster shots required for Bethelites and special full time servants?
by PimoElder init’s a shame the gov body did a big u turn on vaccines .
if they continue with the rule that only fully vaxed can go back to the hall then i could have stayed on zoom.
but the term fully vaxed is a moving target, if it’s been like six months since your last shot you are just the same as those of us who are unvaxed .

While this is long it could be eye opening to some. If you only get your news from mainstream media I hope you keep an open mind just like you had to when you left the jw's.

Fully vaxed may find this of interest especially if you have issues you did not have prior to being vaxed

Your a good son showing unconditional love, something they would not show you if they knew.
They may know or suspect but prefer not to ask because they can see you are taking care of dad.
