  LHG - yes, that was presented well. And it's encouraging to know there are peeps still in willing to expose the organization for what it is.

  I think this was really well done and looking forward to the next episode. Well directed and edited.

  I am still amazed at the support of the perps by this organization, and the total vilifying of the victims, children...unbelievable.

  That one victim's elder father is a special kind of evil monster.

  First Proper Chat With the JWs in Almost 11 Years

  2. experiences

  since disassociating in october 2008, i've had little to no direct contact with the jws, apart from immediate family members (ie my parents).

  i've lived in my rented flat since may 2014 and haven't had a knock on the door in that whole time.

  until saturday morning.

  Hi password! Well done.

  I too agree, if at all possible, to engage as you have done just to leave a thought they might not be able to get out of their minds.

  Would You Ever Go Back To The Witnesses??

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  every once in a while you hear people say they actually “miss” their old witness friends and or family.

  some would have even stayed in the organization if they became a bit more liberal and open minded.

  Circus Assembly Jaw Dropper

  by Slidin Fast in

  2. beliefs

  the co got on his hind legs for the public talk and repeated twice "tolerance promotes division".

  then backed it up by saying that if one group march for some right, another group will march for the opposite.. so jws are intolerant and proud of it.

  f@@@k me sideways.. may explain that the baptism tally was 0..

  Boy the JW cult language just pushes all my buttons now that I'm out.

  The arrogance of the JW's, they think they are so special...that they have special knowledge of, well everything. All part of the control...but geez...they are so intolerant!

  Cart Witnessing....They deserve the same ''cold shoulder''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  here is a man named jerry.

  on a public sidewalk, he asks attendees leaving a jehovah's witness convention in san diego a simple question, ''do jehovah's witnesses have the truth.

  not one person acknowledges him.

  That picture is great...but...has anybody here actually seen any cart sitters deep in conversation or even engaging at all with any passerbys?

  I haven't.

  Besides Everlasting Life What Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Offer To Anyone?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been thinking... why would anyone want to join the religion or actually stay in the organization.

  i understand that people don’t want to lose their loving family and dear friends so some stay in.

  but what does anyone really ever get because they are jehovah’s witnesses??.

  It would be interesting to know from a recent convert what it was that drew them to the JW.

  I used to pray that I was thankful I was born in because I never would have believed it if I wasn't. sigh

  My mom said they answered everything from the Bible and that was the attraction to her. Of course we here all know differently, it's a patchwork hop and skip to come up with their dogma. But, there was a time it sort of made sense, all the hopping and skipping.

  Generally Speaking Do You Support The Police?

  2. friends

  i know bad cops exist in many cities.

  i know some cops who aren’t “bad” but do have an attitude.

  however, i prefer to have law and order as opposed to chaos.

  I used the NJB exclusively the last few years at the meetings. It’s a great bible with timelines, and copious footnotes, and introductions and commentary so you could figure out what the heck was going on.
