Do any of you know of jws who have been screwed up by these teachings?
Yes, me. Then again, I owe my existence to these teachings - my parents brought together by these frustrations...
i was thinking about how the borg screws up and sexually neuters their flock by telling them when single to "deaden their body" and then boom as soon as there's a ring on the finger to not be denying eachother.. do any of you know of jws who have been screwed up by these teachings?
i know 2, 1 elder came back from honeymoon having a nervous breakdown unable to cope with the cd that sex produced in his head.
and the other called up her parents while on honeymoon, crying and begging for themto come and get her, since she was so shocked that sex hurt.

The only reason that we know the name 'Timothy McVeigh'...
...is that he is/was...the outlier, not the rule.
my wife was diagnosed with ms about two years ago.
we have been living in ohio for the last 5 years but were recently assigned to a new congregation because of the dissolving and sale of our congregation/kh.
my wife's symptoms spiked after being relocated to our new hall back in january.
I like the advice all or nothing and OTWO gave...
Leave behind the JW life and just see how much better life feels for both of you - without all the unnecessary stress.
Moving is a great opportunity to get out of the cult, either cold turkey or a rapid fade. Wish you the best and better, brighter days ahead.
i guess it would depend for me.
some of my family i would take out bill boards pointing to them.
many of the elders it would be he is over there and set off a neon sign.
No, I could never directly cause a negative law enforcement encounter in such a paradigm.
In fact, I'd hope such a situation would cause my insane cult family to take a step back, and ease up on the strident cultiness.
If they stupidly persisted in their religious behaviour and caused their own law enforcement encounter - well, that's on them. I'd loathe living in such a society, anyways - and I would never rat and cause someone to lose their liberty for shitty reasons.
this is bigger than christmas and birthdays wrap into one.
thanks to the australian royal commission our youngest son has woke up.
we received a e-mail from him tonight where he apologized to us for shunning us all these years, how bad he felt for doing this.
So happy for you and yours! May this be just one among many. Congrats, and keep us posted on the progression of things.
Nothing better than a lost child found.
i see stories like this one, and think we are losing our way as a nation.
reverting to tribalism and racism.
i wonder if its always been there lurking beneath the surface, and it just took someone to encourage it a bit.. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/26/us/woman-berates-man-viral-rant-don-lemon-cnntv/index.html?utm_medium=social&utm_content=2018-06-26t08%3a30%3a04&utm_term=link&utm_source=fbcnn.
Obama spent two decades of his life attending Jeremiah Wright's church where he railed on and on about how evil white people are.
And when questioned about it, said he never heard Wright's racially divisive message.
Went to the church for 20 years. Never heard it.
Very credible. Yes a paragon of virtue. The drone-striked Arab children agree.
just seen on twitter: .

These guys will rue the day they decided to step out of the shadows and into the light.
Now there's no going back.

firstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.
it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.
i am not bashing jwn - i love this place and appreciate the hard work and expense simon puts in to keep it going.
I think this board has been, and will continue to be a treasure.
I recall the politics getting heated after Obama was elected. Didn't mean too much then - good discussions were had, and I doubt that the heat over Trump will be different.
I think the connections we 'enjoy' via the JW experience, can serve to overwhelm any other frictions. Hope so, anyways. Love you all. And good job, Simon, et. al.
immigration: the truth about the lie: crimecrime: do immigrants increase rates of violence?
there has been a lot of talk about how immigrants pose a threat to the safety of this country by increasing crime rates.
is there any truth to this, or is it "fake news.
Great analysis, thanks for playing. We are in debt to your herculean efforts.
Robust, indeed.
