  Janet Jackson music award, she gave credit to which God for her success?

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in her acceptance speech she made her stance on the me too movement, and thanked god for her artistic career.

  she stand with women and with those men equally outraged by discrimination who support us in heart and mind.

  rebbie and mom (both jw) front row seats when she gave credit to her father for their success, no mention of mom and jehovah.

  She is an entertainer and as such it is THE thing to do to "thank God". She's just self promoting.

  Random Musing of an ex-JW between a rock and a hard place.

  many of you may recall pass postings of mine where i mentioned my plans of moving away from my current neighborhood.

  mainly because my office got moved and now my commute is about one hour each way.

  my employer is pretty flexible so showing up on time, for now, is not an issue.

  Oh boy. I don't know. Everything sounds perfect EXCEPT..... I think I would move. She really would be the big loser here. Not seeing her grand kids etc. It may be worth the discomfort for you and I would bet she would come around. Not having you guys around, your kindness, your vacations vs a once a month food binge. Sometimes you have to let go to grow. I hope it all works out.

  i am shaking all over right now.

  i think it's worse that the bunker video.. i used to think there was no way that these people would actually "drink the cool aid" if you get my drift, but seeing this video i am now not sure it could never happen.. having a wife who i love dearly trapped in this cult is really freaking me out right now...

  How many JWs were killed in Malawai by following the GB instructions on not having a government ID card. How many infants, children and adults have died from GB instructions to not have blood transfusions. How many have been driven to suicide by the GB ever changing shunning rules. How many have died to maintain "Christian neutrality" rules as defined by the GB. "How many children have been permanently wounded for live by the GB, WT defining "molestation"/rape and the protection for the abusers. Just by these few examples the GB and the WT are committing crimes against humanity as defined by the World Court. These represent millions of lives.Yes, they are guilty. Mentally, physically, financially, spiritually, emotionally GUILTY!

  Trump mentality = Watchtower mentality

  by doubtfull1799 in

  2. beliefs

  the fake news is working overtime.

  just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the network news about me is negative (fake).

  why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt?

  I think this is a perfect analogy......except for those who believe everything DT says, and, except for those who believe everything the WT says.

  Today's Watchtowe Study, Child Baptism

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  suffice to say that i fundamentally disagree with the point of this article, a cynical attempt to boost numbers.

  it goes against bible precedent and their own long standing practice.

  they timothy as an example of a youthfull christian, a young man.. sure but he was not baptized young .

  IThis goes against everything they taught from their beginning. So many of those absolute truths I was indoctrinated since my birth in 1951 have not only changed but been the opposite of the "inspired" truth they enchained people with. How many miles of sands of lies have they built their organization on. How many lies does a person believe until they finally say, "I will not trust anything you say anymore, because you are a liar"!

  where to find help

  by dogisgod in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was having a conversation with another ex jw about difficulties when you have been a born-in and indoctrinated from birth.

  it just is so disheartening that if and when you do wake up and leave that all that crap is still in your brain.

  you just can't unplug.

  I was having a conversation with another ex JW about difficulties when you have been a born-in and indoctrinated from birth. It just is so disheartening that if and when you do wake up and leave that all that crap is still in your brain. You just can't unplug. There are so many areas of life that you do not get to have and I think about studies I have read about how children can be forever broken due to not learning certain things by certain ages. Growing up in the cong. limits everything. Your socialization is totally screwed which makes friendships almost impossible. There were studies done about children who were adopted from formerly communistic countries (I personally knew several families). these children were from orphanages where they were basically warehoused. Food and water were minimal but everything else, learning how to walk, being kept in cages and occasionally hosed off, no physical contact, no nurturing, some never having experienced sunlight or even lights. One child adopted by a family had such difficulties on every level....hated lightbulbs. If given the opportunity she would break every light in the house and would break into neighbors homes to do the same. She had to be committed because it was just too late to "reeducate" , professionals gave zero hope to overcome her past. I am older now and I am very aware of my limitations because of having this wickedly lacking experience of growing up in this organization that only teaches that....there is no future in this world. Don't be educated. Don't do "normal" socializing in parties as a child, not being able to be friends (or date) with the opposite sex so that you can make a better decision on marriage. Not knowing how to raise a normal child. Experiencing life thru lenses of black and white and/or circular thinking. Believing that these hateful 8 in NY are something extra special with direct messages from God. It's like being thrown into heavy seas with no swimming experience. I don't know of any Therapists who can grasp the depth and seriousness of being ill equipped for life. Where have y'all found help? I do the best I can but everyday brings situations that are difficult. Maybe this is the way it is. I was invited to a Landmark (EST) seminar and was never comfortable there. I made the mistake of asking how much of Landmark is like EST and is one of the most indoctrinated,, mind control groups that are really not subtle at all....and very expensive to boot. I felt "marked". Not an unfamiliar feeling but screw that, I don't know why people accept human leadership from a group that is illegal in many countries. Then there is Byron Katie. When you look at their "retreats" you are physically set up for mind control. You are deprived of sleep, indoctrinated up to 10 hours/day. Fed a diet that changes your physical and emotional being. AND again, very expensive. You are just switching one unhealthy organization for another. So were to find real help and not just another scam to use up your life. When you are brain washed your default beliefs are not to be trusted....and yet there they are. It is exhausting.

  My JW Elder Brother Passed Away

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he was basically a good man, just a believer in the religion.

  when we were both elders we were best of friends and then things deteriorated when i was not an elder for a while.

  then after becoming an elder again, i slowly drifted away from the religion and he drifted further away from me.

  My heart goes out for you. The borg made him dead before his demise. His death is so final in that the hope of reconciliation can never be achieved. What a horrible thing this group does.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  us prosecutors are reportedly considering charging 'el chapo' guzman with the killings of 6 us citizens and a dea agent.

  "the first killings came on december 2, 1984, when four jehovah's witness missionaries, two men and two women, knocked on the door of a drug lord.

  godoy, who was then also working as a body guard for ernesto fonseca, another guadalajara kingpin, said the missionaries were tortured and the women raped.

  Going door-to-door these days is just plain stupid.....like grieving the holy spirit.
