Very well balanced article. But I bet the only reason it got published is because of the number of views she received in YT. Ich wünsche ihr das Beste!

At last something about JWs on a German news site.
by Driving Force infor anybody who understands german.. http://www.n-tv.de/panorama/masha-16-jahre-zeugin-jehovas-article18689741.html.
it is quite rare that a german news site actually puts something up about jws, after all they are insignificant from a newsworthy point of view.
but i like the fact that they have put this up..

In the kingdom hall and during a meeting!!! Wow sometimes it's hard to grasp what these predators are willing to do to engage in their attacks. What annoys me is that he will get only 1 year and 2 months prison time. It's unbelievable that if it's tax evasion or some hacking of some company's data then the prison times are much longer. This world is upside down, really!

by biblexaminer inif you have the jw app running on your tablet, watch the latest (may) governing broadcast and hear tony the jackass, and when you get to 7 minutes and 44 seconds ...hit the pause button.. read the words at the bottom of the screen as per the jw app close captioning.. "well beyond the intent of the scriptures" .
he is describing the governing body past, like the ghost of christmas past.

The article has expressions that remind me of an expression I read somewhere here on the forum:
"Your JW is showing" - And I believe it's true. Like a friend of mine who also got out constantly says when he catches himself showing typical JW attitudes... I guess you can live the organization, but the organization doesn't leave you that easily.
Changing behavior and how you think are some of the hardest things we can do. Not impossible though, we just need to keep learning and growing and, IMHO exposing yourself to different point of views and attitudes with an open and curious mind.

The danger of thinking we know everything.
by stuckinarut2 ina thought occurred that there is a danger in thinking we know everything, or have it all figured out in life.
especially when it comes to matters of doctrine or faith.. witnesses (or at least the society as a whole) are so self-confident, so proud to be the only ones who know "the truth" about everything to do with the universe, the earth, our past and our future, that pride kicks in.
and pride is dangerous...(.and before a fall).

Maybe they are all subject to the Dunning-Kruger effect... which can be explained like this:
- The less you know, the more you believe you know.- The more you know, the hardest is it to understand that other people do not know
- The more you know, the best you can assess your level of knowledge or ability.

Only a few days ago I was entirely lost and without hope the rug was pulled out from under me
by elderess inonly a few days ago i was walking around the house in a mindless wander thinking if i needed to seek professional help.
then i got the courage to seek the comfort of complete strangers on the internet and found a world of support here on this website.
thank you simon and whoever else has made this website possible.

Hi elderess, I'm really happy for you and hope that soon you start looking more to the future than to the past.
Enjoy your new life!

Somehow I really thought they would be talking about much more money. Commented that to my son, who is a JW and his comment was "the economy is bad".
