check out this awesome video - part 7 in a series where a mormon uses the witnesses as a proxy to figure out why his own faith is wrong.. sparlock, hassan's bite model, and even the 2013 "human apostates" convention talk all make cameos.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmesmlhydru.

Every Ex-JW can learn very important parallels from this video
by Terry in

the speaker in the video was genitally mutilated as a young girl.

as a muslim she had been devout and even on the fringe.. however, events in her life drove her into an escape into free society.. she is an outspoken person much despised as an apostate.. in this video her explanation of the psychology of absolute belief is the sort of carefully wrought clarification which can.

be an epiphany for former jehovah's witnesses as well.. it is a helluva clear deconstruction of what makes islam tick, too.. .

Mormons getting hollowed out: The tipping point has occurred.
by Qcmbr in

ever since mitt romney turned the spotlight on the lds church a growing tsunami of disaffection has been accelerated and brought to a head.. the lds core faithful members are leaving in increasing numbers such that growth has not simply stagnated in the west but it has actively reversed.

to their credit the church is responding aggressively but not only is it too late, it is an impossible task.

you can only paint sh*t so many ways.

about filmtruth be told is a feature length documentary that explores the lives of several individuals raised in the jehovahs witnesses religion.

the title of the film refers to the tendency by jehovahs witnesses to regard their beliefs exclusively as the truth.. the documentary is not an indictment of religion but rather a retrospective.

in a series of informal interviews, former jehovahs witnesses discuss life experiences within the organization including the impact the religion had on their childhood and family, schooling, adolescence, and approaches to dating and marriage.
