Deborah Layton - Jonestown Survivor
by Tallon insaw this on the exjw reddit forum - very thought provoking.. "when your own thoughts are forbidden, when your questions are not allowed and our doubts are punished, when contacts with friendships outside of the organisation are censored, we are being abused, for the ends never justify the means.. when our heart aches knowing we have made friendships and secret attachments that will be forever forbidden if we leave, we are in danger.. when we consider staying in a group because we cannot bear the loss, disappointment and sorrow our leaving will cause for ourselves and those we have come to love, we are in a cult .... when family and friends are used as a weapon in order to force us to stay in an organisation, something has gone terribly wrong".. deborah layton.

What "Rules" Did The Elders In Your KH Make?
by minimus insome congregations were known as liberal and others were considered very conservative.
back in the 1970s a nearby congregation made all speakers who gave public talks a white shirt to wear.
if a speaker came in wearing anything but white they were brought into the library and were given a white shirt!

No splits in long ankle length skirts which was worn in the 90s. Splits that were below the knee was still seen as evil. We had Neville bromidge (D.O) ( Melbourne Australia) sit in back of the Melton assembly hall count the amount of sisters with these splits and he then shamed us all on stage. what a perve!

White clean shaven man runs over muslims
by silentbuddha inso in england they report a "white clean-shaven man" mowed down worshippers at a mosque.
why do they never make such detailed descriptions when muslims do the same?.
i hope this event isn't a bad turning point.

Brussels Central station was evacuated Tuesday amid reports of an explosion and at least one man shot who shouted "Allahu Akbar,"
by freemindfade init looks like these attacks in europe are going from weekly, to daily, it literally gives me chills to think about traveling to europe with my family.
that is very unfortunate.

Ruby456 I suppose you think fighting the Germans in world war 2 was a revenge attack?
Islam is the very cause of today's terrorism. Not all Germans were Nazis and not all Muslims are terrorists. Sometimes the greater good needs to happen which Is to fight back. Unfortunately it's needed. innocent people will have to suffer for the greater good
Just how it is. Islam extremism and it's extreme barbaric evilness has no place in our society. Time to get rid of this filth

2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure
by pale.emperor inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go3arnnsfkk&feature=youtu.be.
no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.
instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

Are you fucking kidding me? Watchtower must be losing members. I was born in 1975 and I remember the stories my parents told me. They had a calender countdown in their hall. My mother was chastised for being pregnant with me etc etc.
What infuriates me is the down right lies of watchtower '!! And they Want me to go back to them? Yeah right...... I hate them even more now...

I'm glad, now maybe the world will take a close look at this cult. I don't care about a organisations human rights when they clearly don't care about ours . Bitter sweet watchtower. Bitter sweet... Sorry guys but I hate this "religion" and I feel a little vindictive at the moment. I don't feel sorry for it too.. ( due to my recent circumstances). Nor do I care that some may feel I shouldnt feel this way, I don't let anyone dictate my feelings anymore.
I'm doing a happy dance.
Bad wolf is correct. Russia told watchtower to comply with the law. Watchtower defied the law. There are other religions not being targeted, if you notice it is those who really qualify as cults.
For the life of me I don't know watchtower keeps this shunning policy. Australia is now looking at them closely due to their shunning policies and pedophilia policies.

Serena Williams Pregnant
by wisdomfrombelow innow that she has announced that she is 20 weeks pregnant and not married, what is her status in the cult?

She is not baptised guys. She is not mandated to follow watchtower rules nor does watchtower by their own policy need to take action on her. Not baptised = never a jw.

Marc & Cora on YouTube causing unnecessary divisions
by jambon1 inwhat is it with this pair?
why do they have to constantly have a bitch about guys like john cedars?
a very recent video of them shows them calling him a 'village idiot' and making other disparaging claims.

Why should we have forced unity? Sounds like a cult mentality to me
I like John Cedars thoughts on things but I don't like anyone dictating me on how I feel and then telling me I should change my opinions because they feel I should. I want Russia to ban this horrid wretched evil cult.
Such a beautiful thing to be free and allow yourself to be you and if anyone thinks my opinions are mentally unsound then that's their prerogative. I don't dig dictators, nobody tells how to feel anymore
Ps I didn't see this video of Marc and cora being confrontational they were given others a voice too.

Even if it's not the truth, it's still the best way to live
by Simon inhow many times did you hear that gem?
it often went along with "the truth is a protection" which is their way of saying "living a moral life is good for you ... and you can't do that without us".. but think about what people are really saying.
i think the real message is "i know it's not the truth, but i chose to follow it anyway".. it seems like a pre-emptive argument because they know they can't defend it as "the truth" so instead they switch to defending it as a lifestyle.. of course any kind of lifestyle that has a decent moral ingredient to it, respect for law and order, discipline etc... probably increases people's chances of doing better in life, but they don't have a monopoly on it.. so just remember, next time you hear someone saying "even if it's not the truth" what they are really admitting is that they already know it isn't..

Simon is correct. Jw's don't really care about truth, they love the social structure, parties, friends etc etc. If they really worried about truth they would leave the organisation, the organisations history is proof enough, current generation teachings should of woken up every jw! what I have observed is that the social click is very strong,they only have jw friends, it's what they are comfortable with. The real truth seekers are those who leave or fade away and make a life outside the jw social click.
When I speak with jw family I feel sorry for them, they would rather be in a captive religion than allow themselves the freedom to question. I have pity for them. True pity.... Poor deluded and manipulated human beings. As for us I'm so happy to have left that manipulation and brain Borg group. Sure I'm inactive and occasionally attend a memorial or special talks, I do this for family, but gives me reassurance and I can see objectively how manipulated these poor souls are. I am so happy to have woken up and reclaimed my life. Watchtower is such a evil organisation, I can see it clearly. The people in it are mostly good and caring people but have allowed themselves to be controlled 😞 eg shunning is such a unnatural practice yet they will obey the leaders stance on this even cutting off family. They are no different to the people's Temple , they are a danger because they are being manipulated.

Apologists saying that the JWs shouldn't be banned, what the hell!??
by Crazyguy init's been brought to my attention that there are xjw that say they support the witnesses and don't think russia should ban them.
i would just like to remind all of you that jws are guilty of murder, causing higher rates of suicide, covering up child molestation, and keeping members in prisoned because if they leave they loose family, financial support, possible employment etc.. sure their not strapping bombs to their chests but they easily get members to kill themselves with their blood policies.
they are an extremist group!

Edenone I have family members who are jw's as much as I love them I believe this is for the greater good. we all have to make sacrifices in order to benefit the greater majority. The people's temple were full of good people, they all did stupid things under the influence of a evil leader. Jehovahs witnesses are no different
Willing to sacrifice even their own children.
