Strange how cult members will stand by imperfect men.Yet when a R&F member makes a comment to say the GB/elders are wrong(ex.generation-1914) they get the boot,o

When You First Saw This Place What Was Your Reaction?
by minimus inwere you shocked?.

I said to myself,there are many many J.W. that do not believe the GB/FDS/WBTS and this is their secret place to vent and not get shunned.Sort of their way of telling off the GB/FDS.If the truth be known ,many would leave the cult but it's all about the family.

and so it begins... what next?
by bez inmy husband had another 'phone call' last night from the congregation po... the conversation went something like this..... po " i do not want to put words into your mouth but are you saying you no longer want to be recognised as a jw?".
hubby " i am not making that statement no... cut to the chase what are you getting at".
po " i have been informed you celebrated (child) birthday".

What has happened to you,reminds me of the inquisition ot the 13th/14th century.How the hierarchy ot the R.C.church(FDS/GB) questioned the R&F as to the loyalty to the R.C.church(WBTS).Under torture(shunninig).

Lies and Damn Lies
by AllTimeJeff inthe greatest mistake and the greatest harm i ever did to myself as a jehovah's witness is lying to myself.
about everyone else secondly.. i believe in very few constants in life.
i think we all are on journey's and it takes a lot to get to where we are going.

Good points Jeff.I am honest with myself and try not to step on too many toes but I am a bad dancer.
All the bs of the GB/FDS I ignore.I live a good life and when I die that is good enough for me.

Top 10 reasons why JWs don't have the truth - please contribute
by oldlightnewshite ini thought it would be an interesting exercise to ask everybody on here what their 'top 10 reasons why jws don't have the truth' actually were.
maybe we can see some correlating views/patterns/ideas that may help us de-programme the newbies that come on this site.
if eventually most people have an outstanding gripe/concern it'll help everybody understand the ex-jw mindset a little better.

WT Society's Sly Guilt & Fear Tactics on Young People in Nov.15th WT
by flipper inas many on this board are aware- the wt society is losing younger members in big numbers.
statistics show that 2 out of 3 jw's raised in the cult leave between the age of 18 to 35. so like they always do- if the wt society sees a " need " or " problem " arising they address it in wt study articles.
thus notice how manipulative the wt society uses fear, guilt, and put down type comments to intimidate young jehovah's witnesses in this wt study article in nov. 15th issue.. under the titled article " young ones - what will you do with your life ?

9 and 10 year old get baptized, at 16 DF, kicked out of house.Those GB are worse than Nazis.These kids can live by high standards but get the boot when they say anything about the evil cult.

WTS and their view of higher education
by bobld inminds filled with harmful propaganda.wastes valuable youthful years that could best be used in jehovah's service.. notorious for bad behavior,drugs & alcohol abuse,immorality,cheating,hazing, and the list goes on.. there all many jehovah's witnesses that are university students.in view of all the bad things,are not these bad ass per 1 cor 15:33.. also how can these same students make comments at meeting saying how great the fds/gb.should not we shun these bad ass.. b.

I agree with you Flipper.What I do not understand is the hypocrisy of this WT religion.My ex of JW university students,they speak from both sides of their mouth.They say the GB/FDS are great,yet they don't take their advice (higher education is bad).And this goes for all other JW they pertend how good their are but are no better then anyone else.
