i have seen this more and more the longer i've been out of the witnesses ( over 6 years ) .
one of the main objectives of the wt society was to make us have a fear of leaving the witnesses and doubt ourselves so much due to being told we were imperfect and sinful.
so then that produced guilt.
I'm gonna have to get that book.
Gosh me too. It's come up several times not only in this board but in other places in my life. Time to read it! It's not at the bookstore, you have to order it.
When I read this stuff Flipper, it's so hard to believe that I couldn't see this before! And I still had a hard time thinking I was in a "cult". But it's very, very clear now. Any time there is fear and isolation.......red flags people! Thanks for the info!
christians: is military service wrong?.
imho, there are times when individuals/famlies/communities/states/nations must take up arms to defend themselves.
otherwise, they will cease to exist.. .
So Designs, if my son wanted to go to the Airfoce Academy over there (CO Springs right) what's your opinion on that? He is thinking about it, he wants to become a pilot. Are you from there? Not to change the subject of this thread though.
"The Watchtower, it does a body good."
so this is inspired by my favorite poet edgar allen john doe!
sometimes we just need to say something completely goofy to relieve tension and have fun.
the pineapple king, with a feather in his hat and a spring in his step, finally helped the chicken cross the road!.

Mr Hawthorn claims he now is able to walk only small distances and "his capacity to enjoy life has permanently diminished".
Sorry but that happened when he became a jw.

I didn't see that the articles said they were jw's? Did I miss it?
my mother received a phonecall from my jw motherinlaw (my mum is not a jw ) she said she would like our address , so she can send her son a get well card , she also said she misses our child who is now 6 and so does her non attendind meetings husband , she said she deserves to suffer but he does not as he dosnt go to meetings (not sure why she deserves to suffer , perhaps thats because she is jw and deserves to suffer because she has "the truth"!
) she told my mum that i would not let them see my child which really annoyed me as what i actually said was "that if her daddy wasnt welcome at their home (he is disfellowshipped) then im sure he would not want his daughter to go either , but i did not ban them from my home .
that was around about a year ago , we were just getting used to no contact even though my husband was very hurt , im not sure what to do now as they are apparently heart broken about not seeing her (even though it was because of them banning their son from the house last year that caused that ,and he was disfellowshipped 14 years ago !
My heart truly goes out to you looloo and anyone else who is dealing with this type of situation. It is so emotionally draining and unnecessary, I just wish the GB of this org would see that and leave these people in peace. There is nothing peaceful about how this org is run. It's all egoic.
