  this wonderful walt whitman quote is featured on a page of a fabulous website - www.journeyfree.org.

  phd.

  marlene winell posts great essays on the destruction and harm caused to those exposed to fundamentalist teaching and tactics, and more importantly, how to support those courageous enough to walk away from an entire worldview fabricated from false truths.. excellent informative reading from an intelligent articulate author .. your observations would be most welcome.

  1 Corinthians 11:3

  rnwt "but i want you to know that the head of every man is the christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn, the head of the christ is god.".

  sexism aside, how does the wt/gb explain their absolute power over the sheeples based on this scripture?

  where are they located in the model listed in that scrtipture?

  Witnesses are like an abused partner in an abusive relationship.

  They get the shit beat out of them by the abuser, but they always go back to well they are trying to do the right thing, thats what is important. I think more witnesses than we think now feel these guys are clowns but affectionately look at them like "but they are trying so hard for us".

  "Moses, by far the meekest and most humble person" ??

  seriously, how can it be ok for someone to say of themselves that they are "by far the meekest and most humble person" on the earth?.

  numbers 12:3 'now the man moses was by far the meekest of all the men on the face of the earth'.

  yes, moses was so humble that he told everyone about it!!?!.

  To the young JW visitors....

  truth does not need protecting, it can protect itself.

  no knowledge is dangerous to what is true as what is true can never be proven otherwise.. .

  ask questions, trust yourself, trust your motives as you will never know anothers, trust your reading and research.

  "Truth does not need protecting, it can protect itself. No knowledge is dangerous to what is true as what is true can NEVER be proven otherwise."

  I saw and heard something in a Kingdom hall I thought I would never witness!

  when i was a kid i would hear religious songs on tv and start sining them... not knowing they were church songs... one day i started singing the hallelujah song (not sure the exact name of the song) my father quickly gave me a hard slap on the mouth and said if i ever sang that song again he would take his belt off and beat my butt until it was red!.

  well fast forward 30 years..... the public speaker was missing today and so tv.jw>org to the rescue.... instead they decided to play the new video about the last hundred years since 1914.. instantly the hall was filled with the exact same song i was punished for!

  yes a church song filled the hall for almost 5 minutes as we watch br.

  Nevermind. Found it. They forgot to mention "too bad Rutherford and the rest ruined it and made it a mainstream cult." Naive.

  Shunning Styles 101. Any I missed? Care to elaborate?

  my oldest brother got baptized at 12 and realized he was 100% gay at 12 1/2.

  sucky timing huh?

  he fought the fine fight of the abstinent until his mid-twenties and then decided he couldn't live like that anymore.

  Funny. Jw.org says this about shunning:

  "What of a man who is disfellowshipped but whose wife and children are still Jehovah’s Witnesses? The religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain. The marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue"

  Very misleading to outside persons. This is twisted. WE know this is talking about husband and wife and young kids. non-witnesses would no catch this. They read "The religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain." very misleading. Shame on you gb. Shame shame shame.

  One day assembly

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at a recent one day assembly i walked away with the thought that the wtbts sure does not like witnesses who have the opportunity to make a good living.

  there were, in one day, three experiences of witnesses who turned down "6 figure salaries" because there would be some traveling involved and some meetings would be missed as well as missing family worship night.

  i thought it strange that the exact phrase was used of "6 figure salary".

  I have been totally bad mouthed by my family for having a successful life Of sorts. Even though that has nothing to do with my fading. They use any success I've had to say how horrible I am. Even though it doesn't make me miss meetings etc. Redundant bullshit makes me miss meetings.

  March Broadcast- Jehovah is speeding up the work

  by adjusted knowledge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i watched some of the segments on the jw broadcast.

  in the video they showed how they managed their inventory orders for the congregations.

  at the conclusion it was stated by the narrator how god is speeding up the work.. the problem is the system they implemented has been used for over two decades in logistics.
