Excellent video, OTWO. Thanks for sharing it. I cringe when I realize how many years I felt totally comfortable in the middle of all of this. So thankful to be outside it now.

Youtube video asking them "Are All JW's Ordained Ministers?"
by OnTheWayOut inthe youtuber, publishingcult says to download and share the videos, so i am sharing.. this is a part 2, but a stand-alone video.
he asks jw's if they are ordained ministers.. the answers blow away the "unity" of the members.
i may try this when stranger jw's approach me and say "why do i get different answers?".

Mind Control Cults
by TJ - iAmCleared2Land ina non-jw pilot friend of mine who doesn't know i was a jw sent me this, with the title "mind control made easy!".
it was eerie to watch this and recognize the similarities.
it could be useful in helping a current jw who has doubts "get out", as it is not produced by an ex-jw.

Wow! This video is power. It strengthened my resolve to continue increasing the distance between myself and the Dubs.

"There is no one telling Jehovah's Witnesses that they have to believe and accept everything that is being taught to them."
Tell that to all those disfellowshipped for apostacy. Get real. Whoever wrote this has no clue.
L4P, over and out.

"There is no controlling behavior when it comes to Jehovah's Witnesses and you are taught to train yourself to decide what is right and what is wrong."
This is only after you have become a Watchtower zombie, right? After the miles long list of black and white rules have become a part of your every breath. What a joke.

Are you kidding me? This article had to have been written by someone who has never been inside a Kingdom Hall. It is FULL of lies. Please! I'm with zolks. It MUST be a joke.

So painfully true, down to the last detail. I am so sorry that you have had this experience, losing all family along the way. Your letter is extremely thought provoking and as chickpea said, "chilling in its accuracy." Thank you so much for sharing it. No doubt it will touch many.

Solving The World's Problems in 30 Minutes

T.I.T.S.,
:o) I'd love to hear the gist of your solution to the world's problems, but it would probably be over my head, being that it came from a meeting of the minds between you and your biology and art teachers. No doubt the conversation was deep and intriguing. When I seek to solve the world's problems, it's usually more about the relationship of trust with the person I am with, than it is about the solutions we come up with, in and of themselves. Being able to open up and have a mutual exchange regarding things you are equally impassioned about is invaluable. I am so happy that you found that experience recently...especially among teaching professionals.
All the best to you,

Why I wrote a novel
by JeffT inthis or something like it, will be the preface:.
in 1973, the year i graduated from college, i joined what sociologists now call a high control religion, what others would call a cult.
sixteen years later, my wife and i mailed a letter to the groups headquarters formally ending our relationship with them.

It sounds like an excellent format to raise awareness. I wish you the utmost success. I will be watching for it. Do you have a title for it yet?

Warning! I had certain privacy settings all set up on facebook and then "poof!" one day certain options disappeared with a new and improved facebook and until I realized the changes impacted my settings, things were open to people that I did not want open to them at all, so I would never count on privacy settings to be secure. Facebook updates and changes constantly, all of a sudden making certain settings you are accustomed to obsolete and leaving you wide open. So if you are not willing to face the risks involved with friends of friends possibly seeing something that could be damaging to you, do not friend anyone that might expose you to risk.
Additionally, there are people I have "unfriended" whose comments are still visible to me when they comment on a mutual friend's page, so I feel pretty sure that they occasionally see my comments on posts of friends we have in common's pages, so there is no sure fire guarantee that your use of facebook will remain hidden completely to those you've blocked. Your page may be hidden, but they may still occasionally see signs that you still use facebook through mutual friends' pages and posts. I have learned it is not fool proof, even when I have gone to great lengths to put friends all into groups and place different privacy settings on each group. Anything out there in cyberspace is open to exposure, for sure, so make your decision with full awareness of that fact.
