let's share some notable wts quotations that demonstrate the arrogance, ignorance, hypocrisy etc.
of the watchtower leadership.
“‘zion’s watch tower’ has, we believe jehovah for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support.
The "Power" game the WTS played out to the public is one of coercion, provocation of fear, exploitation and mind and mental manipulation, orchestrated by use of literature publishing .
This one individual religoius organization/publishing house has killed thousands, broken apart millions of families and destroyed and wasted millions of lives, all for the sake of select few men playing we are god's chosen, be loyal and subservient to us if you want to survive Armageddon.

The JWS religion is truly a religion made up of lies, ignorance, deception, coercion and corruption.
How can you tell and verify that ?
Just read the articles it has written in many of its pieces of literature over the years.
You dont have to go anywhere else.
the 2 or 3 witness rule to substantiate a truth about a matter .joh.8:17 , 2 cor.13 : 1. jehovah`s witnesses claim they were appointed by god in 1919 ?
as the only religion that god was going to use to dispense food at the proper time ?
and to lead his people by.. fact 1.
Yes god did choose apostate false prophets charlatans in 1919 as his earthly FDSL.
Or was that just a proclamation made by those men to support themselves and their endeavors in their publishing business, with their intent of proliferating the literature they published ?

What a pessimistic nutter who bases his summation upon theoretical speculation.
i would think that exjws would exercise more critical thinking than not.
now we are thrust in this “ world” and take sides on social issues and politics.. just because our government leaders say something it doesn’t mean it’s right.
just because the majority of the news media tells us how we should think, it doesn’t mean we have to follow.
Ex-JWS should have inherently sharpen skills in identifying bullshit, disingenuous propaganda and corruption, they were involved in a religion that was all about those things.
i wanted to introduce myself.
i am a jew, not ex jw.
as a practicing jew its sad to see hebrew scriptures, distorted and used by non-hebrew people hijacking my bible (jw), then used to justify their pedophile actions.
Oh by the way I do think your right about the JWS stealing your religion away from whom it originated with but men who are seeking out their own power are known to deliberately attached themselves to almighty one.
The reality is these men who started this religion were nothing but false prophet charlatans who ran their own publishing house.

Pulled out of school when she came out. Suffering the the shame of being rejected by her whole Jw community. Her father was demoted in whatever upper roll as a Jw that he had, and she was eventually booted from her house.
Man that's just plain sick.
I hope you give her the love and support she deserves and needs which wasn't given to her by her JWS parents.
Religions that were established 3000 years ago aren't going to be up to date to modem known acceptance of human sexuality in view of human rights.
I had a gay brother who was extremely ostracized being a JWS in a JWS family.
I can see what your daughter could possibly go through.
If you were born a homosexual being in the JWS religion in a JWS family that's really a bad place to be.
im new to this forum, i dont know where else to post my story, sorry if im wrong for posting this on this subject.
as i begin to wake up from being in the org i thought id introduce myself to this forum with how i was raised in the org..., ive been beginning to look at everyones stories from being raised as one and how they left, and i find comfort in knowing im not alone, so maybe another young person like me will find the same comfort reading my story.
as you can tell by my username, i am posting this on an anonymous account because of fear of what the elders would do to me and my parents if they found out who i was.
Anon if you do get in a really bad state such as thoughts of suicide, there are help centers that you call for help explaining your story to these people, they usually have degrees in human psychology and they are helpful .
Things that may help when you are in a rut, is go for long walk perhaps get a dog to accompany you or make for a reason for you to go for walk.
Exercise and fresh air are good for the body, mind and soul.

Welcome to the forum Anon
Your story is not unusual with people /children brought up in this particular religious cult.
Child abuse came in many different forms not just physical abuse and as its now known sexaul abuse too.
Sorry to hear about your personal dilemma, many such as myself who were brought up in the JWS cult can sympathize with what your going through.
So coming here and telling your story will help you progress to eventually live a happy wholesome and enjoyable life.
My advise is just do what your doing and when you are prepared to leave you will be on solid foundational footing.
Leaving quietly away from your still in family is the best route to take.
I left saying nothing apposing to the faith to my still active family and it pretty much has worked out well, not the most close engaging relationship to be sure but better than nothing.
i would think that exjws would exercise more critical thinking than not.
now we are thrust in this “ world” and take sides on social issues and politics.. just because our government leaders say something it doesn’t mean it’s right.

What religious cults do is indoctrinate people with formulated ideas that seem so appealing to the listener that posing questionable scrutiny to these ideas are willing cast aside or repelled. Support those ideas with fear and ignorance and you have a highly controlling religious cult with devoted and subservient followers.
For example the JWS religion promises immorality and redemption from sin, with the addition of living in a soon to come earthly paradise.
Sounds pretty good doesn't it from a emotional and ideological perspective ?
Then it is said that people who reject this propagation are deemed evil and rebellious against god's will and purpose.
