  Geez..ummm...<blushes>

  I remembered that it was 'anewperson'who posted this one (Randy posted it before that) so I looked up anew under 'members', clicked on 'thread started by', and <sound of bell clanging>.

  This is the one Randy put up:

  I didn't originally start that thread, but is this the one?

  Directions:

  Concentrate on the four dots in the middle of the picture for about thirty seconds then close your eyes and tilt your head back keep them closed you'll see a circle of light, continue looking at the circle, you should see Jesus. If not print out this picture with the directions and attempt it again

  Are they looking specifically for people living now in the UK? Or anybody anywhere?

  Correlation

  by out4good3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone here think there is any correlation between the abrupt departure from wt and awake subscription services and the march and april shepherding calls to the possibly millions that have gone inactive in the past few years?

  the few years i spend as a dub, i don't remember any such activity directed solely inactives.

  does anyone else see this as a vain attempt at the wtbts to get people back into khs for their usual dosages of guilt tripping and admonitions of loyalty to the organization?

  I've been thinking that a lot of people may very well tolerate or even like JW's/Watchtower...as long as the books/mags come in the mail, as long as the JW's themselves stay at arm's length.

  Now with JW's showing up on their doorstep twice or three or four times a month, waddyathink some of these people will do?

  As far as stopping the mailing out of subscriptions, the whole thing may have been a bluff anyway. For all we know, even for FREEEEE subscribers might be dropping subsriptions like hot potatoes because of all the scandals. I haven't heard any complaints from my congregation about keeping up with the deliveries.

  Their story originally was that they wanted to save money. Now what is circulating around my Hall and filtering from the platform is that personal home delivery of the mags is to supposed to generate bible studies. I'll let all of you know how THAT goes....

  My dearest Xander---and may you have peace.

  This was a question that was put out simply to make a point to the readers of this forum.

  Thank you for the fabulous expanison of. Couldn't have said it better myself.

  I still say 'get out of the house', especially if there's children involved.

  If a woman is being abused, it is best for her to grab her chcildren and go stay someplace else for a while. If aomeone abuses their spouse, then the children are being emotionally abused as well. To put some physical distance between the two warring parties is the best thing that can be done because then it prevents escalation.

  Counseling should be sought in the case of abuse of any kind, immediately.

  My question is this: if this man is studying with the JW's, and he's behaving this way, what 'remedy' does the study conductor have? Where are the elders concerning HIS behavior?

  Men can be attracted to the JW lifestyle because of the submission that women/wives are supposed to exhibit. That means that if the woman in his life chooses NOT to accept this role, there WILL be problems that will NOT go away.

  While I think it might be good for your friend to have you, and a discussion board, they are NOT a substitute for professionsl help. AND, it's important that the professional that is choosen have more-than-average knowledge/experience with cult exiting.

  I repeat for emphasis---cyber support systems are NO substitue for professional intervention in a situation that could could escalate. And it isn't fair for us, either, to be put in that position, which you haven't as of yet.

  Best wishes to you and your friend.

  Part time I work as a nurse.

  After discovering there was such a thing as an ex-Jehovah's Witness community, the next thing I was amazed to discover was how many of us went into the helping professions. (There are plenty of those on this board who haven't posted here yet).

  Any guesses on if this is unique to JW's, or if this is true of ex-cult members in general?
