  Update: My current situation

  by Issa in

  2. experiences

  it's been about two months since i stopped attending meetings, came to the conclusion that the org is not the truth, and i'm currently dealing with some problems since leaving the org.

  i want to discuss these problems and hopefully get helpful advice.. discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime's work, but it's worth the effort - fred rogers.

  my current situation in this: i faded and hold off on writing a disassociation letter.

  Talking to the elders about your concerns will accomplish as much as sitting in front of a mirror talking and expecting a concerned response to your questions/misgivings and out right lies of the Borg.

  What could Jw church do to enhance their shunning regime?

  by Chook in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if they controlled a nation they would stone their kids to death , which seems harsh but its nothing compared to the solitary confinement they emotionally and physically bestow on their own children.

  i think they have ticked every box as to the rejection of their children except killing them, they leave that for god ..

  IMO, the actions visited upon those DF or marked is very much like ISIS' treatment of non-muslims. The witnesses only can kill you mentally vs how ISIS does it.

  Do you know anything about Live Kingdom Hall?

  by Hecce in

  2. experiences

  i learned recently about this link that allows for a person to listen or watch the meetings at the kh that have contracted the service.

  you have the option to watch the meeting live or just listen.

  there will be a recording of the audio available until the next meeting.. i don't think that this is an official wt arrangement, it might be a private enterprise like the preaching materials .

  Isn't listening to or watching a meeting akin to beating yourself?

  The Real Ark of the Covenant May Have Housed Pagan Gods - Haaretz

  by fulltimestudent in

  according to the bible, the biblical ark of the covenant contained the ten commandments tablets, but some israeli archaeologists have a different view.. haaretz media site publishes the story:.

  the real ark of the covenant may have housed pagan gods.

  the holy ark was likely kept in jerusalem for much less time than the bible tells us.

  The Ark if it actually existed housed mythological god(s). If all supposed God's are mythological, which I believe they are, the use of the word pagan means nothing IMO.

  Seeing as how the rank and file consider the "slave" as "G's" mouth piece, then of course they view those disfellowshipped as enemies of their god the faithless and indiscreet slave masters.

  Yep, lying experiences is the status quo at assemblies, heard several experiences where I had personally known the people involved and the truth in those experiences was non-existent. One particular sister given as an example for all due to supposed exemplary conduct. Was screwing and eventually married to her boy friend, the marriage lasted less than a year due to her extra-curricular sexual experiences with a number of partners. Experiences at assemblies are IMO made up lies by the COs and the list giving the experience.

  shortly before i left the "troof" a co had given a talk during his visit.

  at the time there was a scandal going on in the congregation where 2 couples basically swapped spouses with each other.

  it was quite the scandal.

  In a congregation I was in in the early nineties, we had couples that swapped partners, and yet they were all four reinstated in 6 months, not even a year
