This Years Memeorial and MY heartbreak
by PSacramento inso...this years memorial came and went.. on saturday my mom called to invite my wife, myself and my two little girls to the memorial on sunday, i said thank you but said that we won't be going.. on sunday my older sister called inviting us also.. we didn't go, since my eldest daughter asked about it, i explaine dit to her and asked my wife and her if they wanted to do it at home and they said yes.. so after dinner, we all partook of our lord's sacrifice and i explained to my daughters how the taking in of christ's body and blood is symbolic for become one with christ and god.. we always remember christ and his sacrifice and last meal whenever we eat and "say grace" but, becuase of the whoel memorial meal thing, we decided to do a little more.. i read from luke and john.. it was very nice, very special.. then this morning at 8:30 am my mom calls and reams me for 40 min over the phone.. why anyone would think that i or anyone else would want to be a part of an organization that fills people with som much venom and spit, is beyond me.. she basically said that she gives up on me, that i am taken by satan, that satan is working through me and leading me and tha her heart is borken for my little girls.. my mother.... my heart is broken, there is a pain in my gut....

July 15th WT out - Coming out Swinging at Apostates Hard
by LostGeneration inthis is one of the most aggressive watchtowers i think i have ever read.. four study articles on not "following the crowd" not following unrealities(page 13) not following false teachers, meaning apostates of course(p 15).
avoiding false teachers means "refusing to read their literature, watch tv programs that feature them, examine their web sites, or add comments to their blogs.
(para 7, pg 16).

I agree with flipper, they are losing their hold on the R&F. The religion is now an old peoples religion. The young are too tech savvy to let some old men who have their heads up their asses tell them what's right and what's wrong.
The GB is on the mat and the countdown is on. The religion may last a while longer but they are going to have to continue downsizing.
Great thread
Many of the R&F are still in the tower but mother isn't fooling as many anymore.

Could the Watchtower organization be underestimating the over all intelligence of their rank and file members?

Cult Mind Control in the News. . .
by leavingwt in18 years after waco, davidians believe koresh was god.
.. david koresh told his followers years before the men in uniforms arrived that a great apocalyptic battle with babylon was coming and there would be destruction and fire and deaths.. .
so, martin says, david was right.

So where in the Bible did Koresh get the scriptures that said it was all right to have sex with young girls?

The tattooing job would definitely be an issue. But I think the only thing the elders could do is try to discourage you from keeping the job. They may point to the scriptures about bad association and try to tell you that if you actively server Jehovah (the Watchtower) a better more honest job will come along. Whatever they do won't be pleasant for you so as all others have said, stay away from them.

The big bad "worldly" person
by roxanesophia inconsidering this looks to be mostly a ex-jw site, you're probably thinking "coming into it?
run.
" but i have friends in it who have persuaded me to have a bible study and attend meetings, and well, hey... it isn't doing me much harm.

I think this illustration best shows why this phenomena of dealing with people coming "out of the world" exists.
"If you were a family man and you had a house full of kids would you take in another child without first making sure they had their lives cleaned up so they wouldn't influence you other children?"
When I was in, I heard this illustration numerous times and probably used it a few times myself.

Great, at first I thought it was going to be pro christian. But it just makes it all seem so ridiculous.

Yay Jehovah KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL. Kill them till there all dead kill them all but save their houses and boats and planes and all the other good shit they have so we can have it. They could make this a chant at a DA.
