Why don't JW's have their own school for young people?

by QuestioningEverything in

jw
friends

this is something that i have been asked several times and have wondered myself.

it would alleviate all of the uncomfortable situations involved with flag saluting, birthday parties, etc...

Cheapskates

It's not real estate
It doesn't sell books/magazines
It isn't measurable
It isn't good business

They would have to follow government rules

Or
It just never crossed their narrow, selfish,
cultish, controlling minds

What does The Watchtower really give to its followers?

by VM44 in

i think this question deserves a thread of its own;.

what really does the watchtower provide to its followers?.

they take (and really demand) people's time, energy, and resources.

I feel exonerated

by John Doe in

jw
friends

for a while i feel i was implicated by a scatological quagmire of ruffians who wanted nothing more than to cast doubt on the magnanimous glory that is me.

now i feel justified in gaining ascendancy over their impotent crescendo of inane and asinine banter, and thank god that my glory survives unscathed.

as such, i will continue to bless this board with my insights at no charge, other than to exact your praise and worship.

what angers you about the truth

by stillajwexelder in

this angers me .

elders who will not make shepherding calls to comfort their brothers and sisters but as soon as that brother or sister puts one little foot out of line those same f-----g (sorry about the language but it really angers me ) elders can not move fast enough to form a judicial committee and then are so unmerciful - it makes me want to vomit literally

"The Truth"??
BAH!!!

The thing that I really hate
about it all is the fact that
I have never really known any
of my relatives.
Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins............
Knew who they were
Knew they existed
Seen them once or twice
NEVER KNEW THEM!!
We didn't associate with them
Bad influences you know

I've never established any type
of contact with them. The mental blocks
were so strong it has taken over 28 years
to finally begin to break them down

It was a life completely lost!!
Sad

Most are now dead.

My parents and siblings are still in.....deeply.
Strained relation with them.
They KNOW I'm going to die, soon. It's right around
the corner you know.

Terrible, terrible CULT.
Dangerous and life ruining

Remember these things Stilla

Just a PRUDENT Reminder in These Days of Rampant Forums

by BabaYaga in

jw
friends

there have been countless "new forums" set up in the panic of the past few days.

i, personally, am concerned for those i care about here.

as a precaution first of all, do not join a forum hosted by anyone you do not know or have good reason to trust.

Prudence is ALWAYS warranted

I think that amama2six is legit

She and her husband have worked
very hard in the set up and have
placed definitive boundaries for
conduct and what is acceptable
and what is not
I know. I tested a couple of them. LOL

As was said the set up is easy
administration is hard

I have owned numerous sites over the years
(None now) and have done business
consulting for others.

I too have been giving much consideration
to this opportunity.

One possibility would be to set up a
web ring of approved sites that could
jointly provide the services required
for exiting and x-JW'S

It would then be a group effort with
inherent checks and balances

Much to consider

This is my name, I was a witness, and this is why I will never be again.

by wanderlustguy in

thanks to this site, not only am i free of the mental imprisonment, but i am also free of the fear that the society used to keep me and others like me silent.. i am not a witness anymore because the truth is not what we are directred to think it is.

once we allow ourselves to think, it is clear as day that there is no real basis for anyone to take the title of faithful and discreet slave.

there are folders and lists which contain the names of pedophiles who were never turned over to the proper authorities for their crimes.
