  Ten Mind Games Jehovah's Witnesses Play

  by Sea Breeze in

  jehovah's witnesses are masters at changing definitions of words to redirect thoughts.

  they have done this effectively with common theological terms.

  the result is that even when people leave, many still think the jw's have "some truth" and that maybe its just the leadership that is the problem.

  Judgement Led To Suicide

  ruth tersek olmo is an ex jehovah's witness and former member of the beroean pickets bible study group.

  her personal statement is one of pain and disappointment.

  spiritual abuse is becoming more widespread and the purpose of this interview is to raise awareness, provide education around spiritual and religious abuse, and to keep the public safe.

  I thought the same thing..

  He strikes me as the kind of dude who would be yelling commands as a Sargent in the Marines Corps..

  So straight laced,, extremely clean cut.....

  What comes to mind is movies like A few Good Menn & Full Metal Jacket.

  Good observation,, Careful .

  gossip

  by Nancy1919 in

  1. watchtower

  i was once was told by an jw elder it was a rule not to gossip or swear as it could harm someone, but i guess the new light allows this.

  it was bad enough when they were calling people worldly now i heard a jw gossiping about someone and it was mean.just another reason i would never go back.

  Reddit thread: ‘This Cult is Dying and it Brings Me Joy’

  this is an excellent thread to read that i saw yesterday and the poster hits the nail on the head and tells it so well.

  he is really knocking pimi witnesses and has a lot of well deserved criticisms about them.. he says he hopes at this point that they never wake up….

  i am inclined to feel the same.

  Yes. Yeah. Many feel tied to the Borg because of fear of the "" unknown" as you say.

  Thats it. They dont know what life is like there,,, out there.

  You just learn as you go. Being neighborly & personable to people.

  Not everyone out there is going to like you either,,, just as in the Borg. Not everyone is going to like you in there either

  Just go along with people. Just go along your daily business as everyone goes along theirs. It isnt that bad.
