Any "Miraculous" experience happen to you like the ones said at Conventions
by soundbox_guy in
1. jw
2. friends
i had to sit through those experiences at the convention, i was wondering, did any of you used to be one of those people on stage giving an experience about how something miraculously happened like getting the exact amount of money you needed to pay your rent on the day it was due?

i always hear the stories, but can anybody actually tell me something like this has happened to them when they were a good little witness?

and if it has, did these sort of "events" stop taking place after you left?

lets work up some good ideas that we can pass on to bethel workers, cos, dos, elders etc... can use to help them to start to find others in the org that know it's not the truth but are stuck inside for various reasons.

lets come up with some way of testing people to so as not to blow ones cover and remain hidden.

plans of espionage that could cause a major blow to the organization from those trapped inside, things like how co can give talks to really discourge the friends and cause them to doubt the organization, all the while it looks like he's are doing what the organization wants him to do.

Disempowerment of women WTBS use of that woman Jezebel analogy
by cyborg in
1. jw
2. friends
just wondering if anyone has had similar experience.

i could swallow the fact that only men were given main parts at the meeting (i wouldnt want them anyway) but that im humiliated every time i tried to give opinion or make a suggestion, is just beyond me.

in fact if i was even mildly persistent to make them see my point of view id be presented with that woman jezebel analogy.

How many of you are childfree by choice?
by rebel8 in
1. social
2. relationships
by that, i mean you do not want to have children.. i have been told since birth it would not be safe for me to have children, so i never even considered it.

i never went through a grieving period because the concept of having babies was not something i once had and lost.

i always envisioned myself as a happy career woman.. i recently married and am still sure i don't want children.

Is the Disney company a Cult?
by Nosferatu in
1. jw
2. friends
me and the wife are heading down to disneyland in the winter.

i've never been a huge disney fan, but she's a huge fan.

i've just recently accidently stumbled onto some information that i've never previously been exposed to, and i'm finding it strikingly similar to the jw religion.
