no other organization has so many written and unwritten rules like the jws.
so it comes to no suprise that there are a lot of double standards.. even though the end is "near", wt is building new and bigger offices.
while the small jw should live in a closet and should make plans to have a bigger house in the new world.
Standard double speak.
Protect pedophiles "we don't protect pedophiles"
Believes the rapture now "we don't call it the rapture"
Begs for money "we never ask for money"
We don't pass the plate "contribution boxes at every row of assembly"
Is wrong and lies "light get brighter"
This could go on for days.
first off, if you are in an abusive household and don't have the means to leave, you need to get help immediately.
contact the police.
they have resources to help you, especially if you have proof.
i always had a problem with the belief that god is allowing all the suffering in this world to go on just to vindicate his name and prove the devil wrong.
i watched this movie on netflix and i can really see why the atheist movement is growing.
it really does a good job of portraying the suffering in some parts of the world.

hello everyone.. first post here.
long time follower of this website, probably 4 years now.
i've known about ttatt since ive been 18, im now 22 going on 23 but still go to meetings because of parents.
Hello and welcome. So fortunate you never got baptized. You are in a good position. Maybe check out the July 2009 awake I think it was. That is the one that talks about not having to choose between your family and religion. It's written for non witnesses who are being challenged by their family for studying with the cult. But flip it around. Apply the principles to you.
Edit. Looks like bonsai beat me to it :)
Guess I should read everyone's comments before not after. :p
okay, okay, okay - i know we're not supposed to jump to conclusions.
but the odds this is a "naturally occurring event" are pretty low.
and it's just the sort of megastructure we would expect an advanced alien civilization (type 2) to build.
hey!
i've been hanging around her for a while.
this is the third attempt at my 'hello'.
how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.
how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.
how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.
