  Hello all, it has been years since I’ve posted, but I am loving this thread.

  They must have one hell of a PR staff at the society! When the door-to-door work came back, I was absolutely horrified, and checked out every single news source I could on the subject. The society got ahead of the story and posted a ‘Positive’ paragraph in every bleeping newspaper possible in this country. It was incomprehensible that I could not find a single news story on how this religious organization should not be knocking on peoples doors.

  That this ‘Drunk’ was pretending to be one of the holiest men that has ever been born on the face of this earth, and influenced our loved ones in a horrific way. It is nothing short of pathetic and sad.

  Do You Know Any “Gay” Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  of course the religion condemns homosexuality but did you know any gay witnesses?

  i knew some bethelites that were very effeminate and i remember 4 women who were suspected of being lesbians by many in the congregation.

  they eventually moved away and were very vocal against males, especially elders..

  I had two room mates in Bethel that were gay. Anyone remember Joel Reed? or Jerry North (at the farm). I must say they were very nice and considerate. As with all my room mates I never spent any time with them. I wonder where they are now.

  Joel Reed was my brother's roommate in Bethel for awhile and he was also Fred Franz's personal secretary. He was as gay as they came. Mann377, you can find him on Facebook (And believe me, Joel has come a long, long way since his Bethel days)

  In what decade was it clearly apparent that Watchtower was a high control religion?

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  i'm just curious to get people's views on this.. the bible students seem to start of as quite a liberal group under charles taze russell, albeit he had some whacky teachings going on.

  obviously things began to change under rutherford.

  but what decade did it become abundantly clear that the society was indeed high control religion or even labeled a cult?.

  When this organization stopped letting people freely walk out the door, they then became a full blown cult.

  I remember when my father went for two weeks in the early-mid 70's. He was the sole bread winner with five children at home. It really put a financial strain on our family.

  i thought i'd share this one with the group.

  many years ago, my mom was disfellowshipped.

  then, my sister passed away in a car accident, she was fairly young, as she was in her early 20s.

  I no longer need the therapy and camaraderie like I did when I first left. However, I still check in here everyday to see what is happening in JW land and to see if my favorite posters have posted. This is a hard site to quit.
