  700K+ views Ex-JW schoolgirl exposes organisation

  if only every ex-jw could reach this same audience with videos and other avenues!

  but this is truly remarkable.. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ex-jehovahs-witness-schoolgirl-exposes-organisation-as-a-religion-that-destroys-lives-10273064.html.

  a schoolgirl who left the jehovah’s witnesses after learning of its alleged failure to protect vulnerable women has blasted the organisation in a powerful speech to her classmates.. holding back tears, she recalled her personal experiences as a member of the church and how she was taught everyone outside the religion, including her father, would be sent to armageddon.

  Very brave girl.

  On a lighter note wouldn't it be nice if Cappytan's "Jesus/Rolex" video went viral?

  over the weekend a very nice, caring individual was killed in a car accident after meeting.

  she was 32 y/o and has a 3 year old daughter.

  her husband was driving home from meeting when his car slid off the road, came back on the road, and was broad sided by a truck.

  by Fisherman in

  i did not realize that they were symptoms that something was wrong with my cat -but i did notice that my cat was breathing a little differently for a period of about a few days.

  i also noticed prior and after to that, that on occasion, my cat would cry at the litter box, but that was a very seldom event.. anyway, about a week ago i noticed the symptom that my very loved cat was breathing heavy.

  so i called a taxi and i was going to rush him to emergency room for cats.

  okay, so at the "imitate their faith" ca there was a special speaker from the gb.

  and he started discussing psalms 1:1 and how we today could "sit in the seat of scoffers".

  he then mentioned that many bros. and sisters criticize the org and think they are so smart by researching online.

  I lied to the elders

  by atacrossroads in

  i stopped attending meetings all together in january 2015. before that my attendance was irregular at best.

  my husband followed suit a few months ago after months of research, agony, and indecision on his part.

  from the very beginning i laid low and did not share with anyone what i found out about the witnesses because i did not want to be df'd.

  Keep your heads down, the pair of you.

  Try to let the emotions subside a little. Be careful your own mother doesn't try and "set you up" with a second witness.

  TAKE YOUR TIME

  In a month's time you might realise your mother has Df'd you personally anyway. But the silly woman might have panicked and run to the elders like the trained puppy we all were.

  She just might think. You told her some good stuff!

  Did I say "TAKE YOUR TIME?"

  Reference for WT article.

  by Lostwun in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  awhile back someone posted a pic of the rank/ order of command within the org.

  it started with a picture of earth and god sitting on his throne, then the gb body members sitting at there table, then the elders underneath them and then the r&f and so forth.. no mention of jesus in that photo.

  could someone familiar with the article that it came out of provide me with the reference please?.

  Yup. Remember that. Underneath the "chariot" is the GB sat in a meeting. And the tables and chairs of the GB are the biggest, plushest and most corporate. Under them? The branch committees whose conference furniture is "medium quality" and then after the "traveling overseer" comes by to meet with the elders who sit on very basic furniture.

  And of course the "traveling overseer" minces along with his airport luggage to enforce the rules and regulations.

  And the congregation lap it up at their congregation meeting.

  Jeez! I mean Jesus. Nowhere to be seen! Probably fell off the chariot when it shot off in another direction.
