the path

by Princess Ashe in

anyone watching the path on hulu?

it's a bit extreme but a few similarities in dealing with the struggle of having doubt in possibly splitting up the family.

ones in blindly following..

Dagney

Yes I've been watching. Those cult buzz words ring loud and clear.

This week was especially moving when Hawk at 16 is told my his mom he will never see his family again. It's a scenario played loud and proud by the WT. Makes me ill.

Holy Macanoli!

And until this is sorted, and the corporation commits to changing their policy regarding victims, they should lose their status with the Charity Commission. IMHO. One can dream...

Sorry, I bet the grandma is saying "Phew!" he's asleep in death NOW. She will see him fo sho in the resurrection and he won't have to be destroyed.

That's real the truth.

If anyone really knew that was the sentiment of ALL JW's, they would be appalled...just like we are now.

Hey, Y'all

by snowbird in

jw
friends

how is everybody doing?.

it's been 8 months since i've been here.. so many newbies!.

lol.. sylvia.

i had a couple of jw sisters call at my door today.. they started with the bizarre "can we read you a scripture" and read about "death being no more" and asked what i thought of that.. i said it sounded like a mix of disney and dumb.. they then launched into how god was going to put an end to death and wasn't that wonderful?.

i said it would have been more wonderful if he'd not created death in the first place.. they thought man created death by disobeying so i questioned why god couldn't have just forgiven them.

apparently "because he loves us" is supposed to be a satisfactory answer to why he kills us.. i asked how loving it was to kill hundreds of thousands of children in tsunami's, disease and so on.. at this point, they gave up on the 'god is love' and switched to the bible being true no matter what because it was an old book and moses had written the first chapter (says the book).. when i suggested it really wasn't that old and that most of the bible myths were copies of older stories from before it was written they questioned if i studied the bible and theology.. then i told them i was brought up as a jw so knew it was all crap.. now it was game on, they immediately switched to play defence questioning why i'd left (and i think they'd already taken a step back away from "the evil" obviously emanating from me).. not much time to say much before they cut and run so i told them i'd left because i found out it was all based on lies and that the watchtower was corrupt and covered up things like child abuse.. oh no, you're thinking of the catholics one of them said (some disdain in how she said "catholics" as though "we're so much better than them").. "well, i challenge you to do a search for the australian royal commission and you'll see the testimony the watchtower leaders gave and the damning evidence that they covered up abuse and reported none of it to the police.".

Amazing isn't it? NO human connection to billions dying. Nada. Zilch.

Convention coming to a city near YOU...

by Sugar Shane in

...and it's our duty to warn non-jws, or half awake jws about these events, as they start appearing in newspapers throughout the us, and abroad.

it almost comes out as a promotional ad for the jw convention.

the 'current events' editing staff of this paper likely has no idea what their promoting.

Dagney

So it begins. The convergence of the JW's for the summer. I noticed she said 14 weekends, but I thought it was 13 weekends for the longest time. I could be wrong. I wonder if they shifted around some districts.

Our thoughts on the latest JW Broadcast for the month of May

by Christian Gutierrez in

howdy guys!

this is our latest video on the jw broadcast in short form.

we talk about jw marriage challenges.

Dagney

Great video Christian and Katja! So many people benefit from your sharing on youtube as well as FB.

I have no idea why anybody would criticize your contributions in the exJW world. But for a certainty, it has nothing to do with you. When people lash out it's all about their own issues that they can't be bothered to work on. It makes them feel superior to put others down, when in reality, it is their own insecurity that is showing.

Keep it up guys! You are doing great!

I wanted to let everyone know that today on FB, Debbie Shard's daughter posted that her mother may have had a stroke and is in the hospital. I don't see any more information at this time. She also asked for all to keep her in our thoughts and prayers.

For the life of me, I can't remember Debbie's JWN name at the moment. She was a frequent participant to the board a few years back. If anyone does know it, please post.

Sending positive thoughts and healing wishes to Debbie Shard.
