  Nicolaou....My very good friend committed adultery and her elder husband sat in on all the judicial proceedings. She was DF'ed. This absolutely makes my skin crawl to think of these sick sexually perverted men doing this to a woman.

  As a child, those beatings in the back room were a pretty good motivator to sit up, sit still and tune out. Of course, it was not just the back room that motivated me ..... there was also the book study at our house where wooden spoons were swinging regularly, the back of my mother's hand was always ready to go or my personal favorite was the humiliating loud deafening slap on a bare thigh (in plain view of everyone). I also remember being reprimanded from the platform by my father a couple of times during a Watchtower study.  Lots and lots of motivation!!

  OMG!  It is hard to imagine that this is the same religion that Russell and Rutherford were a part of.

  it is said to be based upon the book, "going clear: scientology, hollywood, and the prison of belief.

  Loved this from rawstory........

  http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/01/5-big-revelations-in-hbos-new-scientology-documentary-going-clear/....

  the film also details Hubbard’s cosmology: where an evil alien overlord named Xenu brought billions of people to Earth 75 million years ago. The bodies were dropped into volcanoes and their spirits, known as thetans, are believed to attach to humans even today.

  This video is priceless! GB Samuel Herd tells women their place as a JW. If this video doesn't send you running, I do not know what will.

  I tend to believe that there are 3 types of people that become Jehovah's Witnesses

  • The ones that are raised in the religion
  • The ones that have had some sort of life changing experience and are searching for answers
  • The ones that are just bat sh** CRAZY

  The top two categories tend to eventually see that it is all a lie. Unless you fall into one of these categories, please run!

  you don't have to know much to talk to jw's and show them they don't want to really discuss the matters.they consider a discussion on the matter they are pushing to be "confrontational.".

  I find the videos absolutely heart wrenching. These beautiful young people pissing away their lives on a terrible lie. I wish I could rescue them.

  No knowledge of settlements, and no curiosity, either

  2. child-abuse

  i spent this last weekend with my mother, who is still in.

  the local newspaper ran a headline about child abuse by a priest, and she made a comment about the priests abusing kids again.

  without missing a beat, i said 'haven't you all been settling a lot of child sex abuse claims yourselves?

  Excellent response SoJo16. It is amazing how blind they are. My parents just watched the new documentary on the Vatican (on Netflix). They cannot gush enough over the sins of the Catholic Church. It leaves me absolutely speechless.

  i have read the site with great interest over the last few weeks.

  some interesting stuff thats for sure.. i have left the jehovah's witnesses (was almost going to say the 'truth') for some time now.

  i was one of the lucky ones that was baptised then faded, no humiliating disfellowshipping but nonetheless was very hard to get myself out.
