  Any thought behind your " Avatar"

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that's the correct phrase?

  anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.

  now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

  Another generation....

  by joey jojo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

  the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

  the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

  I lived through the 1975 lie. I was never supposed to attend high school. I was turning 12 in 1975, I was sure the end was coming. Too young and had no say on getting out of the LIE at that time.

  So, I stayed in, regular pioneered in the 80's, served as an elder for many years, taught all my studies that the generation of 1914 would see the end and that the faithful would live forever in paradise, without ever having to die.

  Left in the mid 90's, I couldn't take the BS no more. The false generation teaching was just TOO BIG of a LIE, besides a whole bunch of other stuff I won't list now.
  

  Still have family that are active. A few weeks ago I met with a sibling that's still inside, I had to share some amazing news in my life and said, "while the WT figures out which generation will see the end, I'm going to be a grandfather in August."

  After congratulating me, all he could say is, "don't worry, we're really close now."

  JW EXPERT WITNESS FLOORED BY COMMISSION OF INQUIRY LAWYER

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  much has already been written about dr monica applewhite, the expert witness hired by the jw organization.

  her job was to provide "expert" testimony to the australian commission of inquiry into jehovsh's witnesses' policies and practices on child sexual abuse.

  astonishingly, dr applewhite was unprepared for the inquiry lawyers' questions.

  What will the commission accomplish, besides the exposing of the WT flawed procedures.

  Can they legally force the WT to make changes in their policies? Can they make the WT pay for therapy programs for the victims of child abuse and their families? Will the abusers go to jail? Can they make the WT pay compensation to the victims?

  Thoughts on "Going Clear," the Scientology Documentary

  by OnTheWayOut in

  i managed to find a copy of "going clear" on the internet.

  i won't post a link because most are loaded with pop-ups and you have to be careful about accidental downloads.

  mine was no exception, but i managed to keep the computer clean.

  For the x-jws that watch this documentary, we feel and say the exact same things that the x-scientologists are saying in the documentary.

  Some may say that we don't believe in the crazy teachings of Scientology or Mormons, that they are more outrageous than the JWS, but the essence is there, the mind control that an org can place on you and things that they make you do, that under any other circumstance we would not do, but say, "That's #$#%^ NUTS!"

  The policing, the control, the judging, the disfellowshipping, the money, the properties that the religion accumulates, the lying, etc...

  In most parts of the documentary just replace Scientology with WatchTower, and it's all the same, the power hungry paranoid characters are always the leaders in the cults that ruin peoples lives.

  I couldn't stop watching it, very interesting.

  New financial arrangement is about ownership of the Kingdom Halls and Assembly Halls

  by fedup in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  we may believe that the wt is having financial problems because of the sell-off that has been happening lately.

  however, i think the opposite.

  i believe the gb has realized that in today's world the money is in the properties that the sheepies have already paid or are paying for.

  It's a control issue.

  They would much rather be the landlord and have total control of all the properties than be the lender.

  With the new arrangement everyone pays rent and not a mortgage. Which changes the ownership to the WT
