  Ty for posting these. I'm in shock.

  How is it that they have the ability to build a house, but have no knowledge of how to hem a neckline? If it's coarsely woven flax or cotton, wouldn't it fray if it were cut like that along the bias?

  Plus, wood framed homes? Those only last at about 60-100 years, where will they get insulation? There are so many better choices for longevity and environmental impact. Log houses can last a long time if the bark isn't stripped, some are still standing from the middle ages, and then there are good old fashioned mud huts.

  Sorry, I'm rambling about random facts that I know because the bunker video seriously frightened me - What is the GB planning on doing that will bring a SWAT team down on JWs?!!

  Loyalty talks, swat teams, people leaving because of a message of judgment?? Are they desperate enough to try some kind of terrorism? This is the first time I've been afraid for my family.

  I'm going to go calm down. The GB are the all talk no action kind of despots, right??

  "Hope for what we do not see" - Review

  i give it 3 thumbs down.. the video starts with an ambulance in peru.

  the ambulance people look at an id and a no blood card in spanish.. quick flash away to now and a happy family of a couple with 2 young boys.

  all good kids it collages their everyday life, all centered around theocratic activities.

  No excuses. The message seems to be that if this brother could obey, the rest of the rank and file have no excuse for missing meetings and not falling into line. Cancer, grief, depression; suck it up and go out in field service.

  It's amazing how they're able to beat the flock, and pretend to understand what they're going through simultaneously.

  (I was only able to stomach the first ten minutes, but this was the impression that I got.)

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5744214272901120/suicide-idea?page=3&size=10.

  i can't comment on this topic on either of my devices or multiple browsers.. so we're shutting down topics now are we?

  i'm assuming you've disabled commenting due to your feeling that it's a troll.

  I was really helped by reading all of the replies that were on that thread... maybe I was too blunt about talking about my suicidal feelings too, but I had really been thinking about it, and then I jumped onto here and saw that thread at the top of the page and I clung to every word like it was a life-preserver.

  It helped me decide to try to talk to a councilor on Monday, even though I'm here at work crying in the bathroom. So please, even if you think... sorry i can't finish my thought

  Just thank you. I'm glad I could see it

  Why the world can be a beautiful place

  by Miss Behaving in

  2. friends

  when we're witnesses we learned to emphasize everything that's hopeless and bad about the world.

  i'd like a place to read and write about what there is to appreciate about being here.. maybe this has been done before, i'm not sure because the search function doesn't work on my phone.

  i'm not trying to mess anything up.. anyways, here goes:.

  Anyways, here goes:

  -I have no money, and yet I can go to college. Education isn't just for the upper classes anymore, knowledge is available for anybody who wants it.

  -Internet: we can connect with people across the world. Listen to any kind of music, read books, watch a cartoon, all with a touch of our fingers.

  -Most people are kind. Last week a duckling flew into the swimming pool at my school and I watched 6 of my classmates try to rescue it.

  -libraries

  -huge variety of clothing and food choices.

  -the freedom to be who we really are (unless who you really are is a murderer or something)

  I would rather be in the JW cult than the ex-jw cult

  by questioningmyfaith in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have posted one other time on this website.

  just for the mere fact that i wasn't anger and bitter and ready to declare the gb the sociopathic criminals that so many here ascribe to, my initial question digressed to bickering over ad hominem attacks against the gb and not my beliefs that i'm questioning.

  some did give me some help on my questions.

  It's shocking when you find out that your entire mental/spiritual world is fabricated. When you discover that the friends and family whose opinions you've respected for years, are actually the victims of a mind control cult. After something like that it's understandable to become a little paranoid, and see 'cult' in everything. Not much of a stretch, especially when we've been taught that everyone outside the org is Satan controlled.

  When I was leaving, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, one of those glimpses where you see what you actually are. I saw someone so arrogant, so self-righteous, so ready to judge and condemn everyone else. I didn't like it, but I looked around and saw that this belief system makes people become that.

  Reading your post, it reminds me of what I saw in myself. There is no one right and proper way to be. There's more than one right answer. There aren't 'evil-doers' here, just some angry hurting people, people angry because they are hurting.

  Anyways, that's my 2 cents.

  Pshycos! - 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention Program

  wow this is interesting!

  i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.

  they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

  That last public discourse is such mind twisting double-speak. 'When will loyal love triumph over hatred?' Hmm, I don't know Watchtower, maybe when you stop spending three days of everyone's time teaching folks to hate themselves, to be paranoid about everyone who isn't a perfect witness, to preach that God will viciously murder their neighbors. Ministry of love, indeed.

  I'm embarrassed to say that I memorized the first 50 new kingdom maladies before I woke up. I didn't just drink the cool-aide, I bathed and swam in it and spit it out like a fountain.

  But hey! On the upside, my capacity to memorize lots of useless information is the tops :)

  Talking to a wall

  by ivanatahan in

  2. friends

  why must these people be figurative walls when talking about the lies of the jw cult?.

  the other day, i had a conversation with my mother.

  we started talking about the election and how the candidates differ (me being a supporter of bernie).

  At least you know that you really tried. You approached her like a reasonable human being, gave her a chance to give a logical argument. All she could do was toss back the party lines.

  It bites to lose the people we love. Even if we don't get DF'd, there's a mental/emotional connection we never get back. I don't blame my folks anymore. I see them as victims of a virulent and manipulative ideology. If I were ever in proximity to the GB though... well... it would be hard to stay civil
