When I was watching it and they said that the JW daughter basically shunned her mother for the three years before her death for marrying that creep ... I wondered if she regretted shunning her. That's the thing about shunning. You never know when will the be the last time you see somebody.

My JW family has entire Pinterest boards devoted to JW memes. Most of them make me feel ill when I read them, but some of them are pretty accurate and funny. Here is one my niece posted.

Things I Never Knew When I Was A Witness!
by disillusioned 2 inthere are some things that as a witness i never knew.
maybe i was just going through the motions, attending meetings and not listening much.
never was very good at personal study or underlining answers in watchtower or book study (i never ever answered up) was too shy.. i never knew when i was a witness that they taught that jesus had looked down on the earth in 1919 to see who was serving god most accurately, and of course he chose a small group of bible students living in america!

Then you were lazy. I was/am fond of studying and found out all those things quickly.
Judgmental much? I know a religious group that you would fit in very well with.

I never knew Judge Rutherford was never actually a judge!
I never knew how many times they had set dates for Armageddon to come.
I never knew about many of their past beliefs like no vaccinations, no organ transplants, and aluminum was bad for you.
I never knew Russell studies pyramidology and based some of his beliefs on it.

I've noticed that most of the biggest objections of all of us are how poorly they treat their own members, how dishonest they are, and how they flagrantly violate human rights.
Their doctrines and strange beliefs are hardly mentioned, other than their repeated attempts to prophesy the end of the world. Perhaps they should consider treating their members better if they want to retain members.

Kingdom Hall Attenders: Consider Stopping the Use of Loaded Language
by OnTheWayOut init's been a long time since i attended, but i understand that many of you still go to the kingdom hall for your various reasons.. a huge thing that helped me in my mentally breaking from their beliefs was to stop using their terms that put you, virtually automatically, into their thought mode.. using terms like "the truth," jw's feel special about themselves and this helps them separate themselves from "the world.
" by incorporating loaded language, jw's learn not to think, but merely to memorize words and phrases instead of analyzing a situation.. the reasons someone misses meetings is because they are "spiritually weak.
" they might be involved in "worldly thinking.".

The loaded language was one of the last things to go for me. It was hard to let go of, and I didn't really even realize I was still using it for a while. Especially the term "the truth". It's such an oxymoron. -

Religions are like toilet paper. There are many different brands to choose from, but once you get involved enough, you realize they are all just full of crap.
