  what is the focus for this one.

  is it "well lads ring the legal department but if anything goes wrong, you are on your own.

  the cs deals with all that".

  Be effective or people will die

  my husband and i have been out of the org for quite some time, but still find that old ideas and values come up and bite us on the ass.. lately, i've been plagued by an increase in the frequency and severity of my nightmares (which have always been an issue,) so i've begun to dream journal.

  in just a few days, this realization cropped up.

  i can't save people.. i've been blogging again recently.

  Thanks for your post. Amazing how things have changed since when we were growing up, now simply showing up, sitting at a cart and not talking to people and counting "hours" makes you not bloodguilty. Now they have to shame and make "inactive" ones feel "bloodguilty". Funny how the bar is much lowered now...

  My Wife Takes the "Spiritual Belief System" Quiz

  by breakfast of champions in

  so i asked my wife to take the "spiritual belief system" quiz online.

  now, this is not claiming to be a scientifically accurate system to determine your religious affiliation, but i thought it would be an interesting exercise.. for those who haven't seen it, the questionnaire is here:.

  this is the scuttlebutt in one of the "bethel congregations" by us.. no details as to exactly what this "faith-testing" announcement might be.. anyone else hear any of this pre-zone visit hype?.

  this is my third year since i signed up on jwn and i wanted to do something a bit different--a slight unmasking of sorts and greet everyone face to face.

  even with the help of a few notes, this is rambling, raw, and by no means the best personal experience video out there.

  LOL! I'm laughing that they seem to be scared of you. That means you have way more power over the situation than you may realize. Good luck!!

  Is the Society trying to self sabotage?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not going to list all the changes here that have happened in 2014, most of you who frequent the boards know about them.. in reference to anthony morris' talk, i can't help feel that the organization is behaving so abnormally out of character for itself that it is bewildering even to ex jws.. cultish behavior is perfectly normal for cults, but whats happened this year is so far out of whack it beggars belief.. what do they think they are doing?

  are they psyching jws up for some major announcement?.

  i can't help but feel that something really strange is going on, this does not feel like the regular "special announcements" followed by articles in the watchtower.. .

  How can they become a more mainstream lifestyle religion when they are desperate for so much control over the R&F's lives?
