  so, not long ago i've told you guys how one of my only two jw friends saw my comment against the borg and called me about it.

  well, the little fraker also called the elders to tell on me.

  i know i've been a huge idiot for posting a comment about jw's on facebook, but nonetheless i did it and what's happened, happened.. two idiot elders came all the way from the nearest congo, 30 miles away to talk to me about it.

  Leaders should have natural abilities and a certain personality that causes them to be a certain way... elders are not this type, generally speaking, especially the further you get from metropolitan areas. They are people who have made nothing of themselves in the real world, and this little witness world puts them on a pedestal for obeying the status quo. So they become nazi, policing, gestapo assholes because they have no business in a position of any kind of leadership. I have the fortune of being in my last two halls where this did not exist, the main members of he elders bodies were not insecure, window cleaners, they were serious, and successful people. They actually admire my desire to not need to be an elder or MS to feel good about myself, they are a different breed and rare in the org. All the rest feel like more spiritual men for being Orwellian assholes

  When you see it from this side you get a real nice look at the cult underbelly... it's very ugly

  "Normal family affections and dealings" continue - If only?!?

  i am new to this forum - it is only a couple of weeks since i have allowed myself to acknowledge and research my doubts.

  i am trying to be fair by reading both sides of the story and considering jw official explanation of confusing matters.

  one of the issues i have been looking at is shunning - and i was shocked to see the misleading information about shunning on the jw.org website: .

  I am not df'd, I am inactive but still go through the meeting motions for the spouse. My family found out (from me like an idiot) I was critical of the org and god in general. i have been df'd by my entire family. During this time I heard it said to me or my spouse "using the word shunned is an apostate word"... while there it is in print. I was also told by someone I have been so close to for 35 years "I am not shunning you, I just won't do anything with you socially, I wont follow you on social media, etc, but I AM NOT SHUNNING YOU, we just wont do anything together again"...

  See how effective the org is?

  This is why we say they speak out of two sides of their mouth. This statement looks normal to two people

  1. People who are not witnesses and see this as them not shunning without knowing the semantics
  2. Witnesses fully brainwashed who don't see how this statement is misleading

  It's only once you wake up you realize they are brilliantly masking their true actions. They are hiding it to the public and it's camouflaged to the rank and file.

  Divine Name in the First Century

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  during the watchtower today while there was so much pontificating on the first century christian movement, i was wondering what would happen i asked your run of the mill r&f how paul and others would have been pronouncing the divine name?....

  yes god's name, something witnesses claim was so critical.

  but the absolute fact of the matter is that no christian was saying the name jehovah at all, period.

  Kids, I am not debating where the name actually came from, we all know this. It's just a thought of mine that your average JW has never considered how gods name was used in the first century.

  In the witness mind they know that the Hebrews at some point mentioned the name, in the witness mind its Jehovah (yes we all know it wasn't). But asking them this question about the first century might be a interesting way to opening up a conversation about the actual origin of the name without coming across as apostate and having them run to the hills
