Is it more accurate to call it a cult or to call it a high control group?

I think it would most accurately be described as something which will bugger up your head and your life.

I want to release the motherload

by Anony Mous in

i have collected and assembled hundreds of letters, documents, publications, personal communications, e-mails from the branch etc.

etc.. my original intent was to make some type of searchable database but my time has been taken over by more important things in life for me.

i don't care about the jw's all that much anymore and who or what gets what information i don't really care.

I would be really interestedin seeing this stuff if you find a way of putting it back up.

Hardest most awkward parts of being mentally out but physically in

by BU2B in

i am still physically in but am completely out mentally.. i was curious for those who spent some time in the borg while being mentally out or are still in that position, what is the worst, hardest or most awkward parts... for me i intensly dislike attending the meetings however its bearable as i can just let my mind wander, but field service is awful.

i cannot try to bring someone in to a group that i am trying to plot a way out of.

so now i try my best to either spend the day driving around to others fruitless rv's (we have somewhat rural territory) or eating out at an extended breakfast or if door to door cannot be avoided, i try to work alone and not ring bells.

Once I realised that the truth was the false, I couldn't go door to door. I carried on going to meetings and reporting time for a few years though. Man that was grim.

Maybe someone will organize an event like this for XJWs.

The old cat herding analogy comes to mind.

I think the Society might drop its appeal over the Conti case

by cedars in

i've been giving some thought to the recent development in which the judge has ruled that the society is barred from completing any property transactions until the appeal is over, which could take up to two years or even more.. i've submitted an article to randy at freeminds in which i basically argue that it is no longer in the society's interests to appeal this case.

if i correctly understand the restrictions placed on the society by the judge, then the governing body has far more to lose by appealing than they could conceivably gain.. think about it.... by appealing, they buy themselves time in which to formulate a long-term strategy for dealing with the fallout of this case, but will be barred from liquidating $1 billion in property assets at a time of global economic uncertainty when their donations are dwindling.

there is also no guarantee that their appeal will be upheld.by dropping their appeal, they take a hit and pay $23.8 million but retain the freedom to see through their real estate projects; retain their financial flexibility to respond to dwindling donations, and get to pretend to their followers (as with the un scandal) that it never happened.of course, i am only saying that dropping the appeal would be the only intelligent option for the society, assuming they are aware of how legally precarious their child abuse policies are.

Remember that they fully believe the shit they are shovelling so in their heads Jehovah WILL fix this. Afterall, he overturned Rutherford et al's conviction in 1919, right?
