  Dubbers now sitting in flea markets to count time. Dont even try to pawn mags.

  every flea market i go to a group of idiots sits under a tent top with a few mags on display with a cup of coffee playing on a phone with as much interest in pushing the cult as a teenage girl at the check out line has in bagging your groceries.

  when i was in the cult we had to work for our time.

  now its like sitting at the coffee shop bsing with the other cult idiots counting time for your pioneer status.

  Seems to be the pioneer pace. Walk the walk ever so slow, now just moving ever slower by just sitting there.

  Money woes show it ain't the truth

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovahs people do not beg for money.

  [...] we have never considered it proper to solicit money for the lords cause, after the common custom .

  it is our judgment that money raised by the various begging devices in the name of our lord is offensive, unacceptable to him, and does not bring his blessing either upon the givers or the work accomplished.

  Music and videos very mind controlling.

  That video of that little girl giving her money is very impressionable on young minds. To control young minds let's say of age group 4-13. I think that in itself will start to make most Dubs wonder.

  We missed you at the meetings

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a vomit inducing comment.. i asked why do they have to specify 'meetings'?

  they never miss us in tesco or the showcase cinema bar.. in their defence, a friend of mine said: 'that's because the meeting is where they normally would see you.'.

  well, if they want to see you they can arrange a meal out or something.

  Jonestown Survivor Quote

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "...when our own thoughts are forbidden, when our questions are not allowed and our doubts are punished; when contacts & friendships outside of the organisation are censored, we are being abused for an end that never justifies its means.

  when our heart aches knowing we have made friendships and secret attachments that will be forever forbidden if we leave, we are in danger.

  when we consider staying in a group because we cannot bear the loss, disappointment and sorrow our leaving will cause for ourselves and those we have come to love, we are in a cult.

  '' We all must be ready to obey any instructions we receive whether or not they seem strategic from a human standpoint or not''.

  I really think the Borg and it's ways are not far off from that of Jonestown, just a hop skip and jump from Jonestown.

  Are cults a hidden epidemic? Great interview...

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  here is a great interview from 2013 between various cult ex members and experts, including mr hassan.

  one thing i was surprised to hear is that the word cult is now considered "politically incorrect".

  someone mentioned this on another thread and i made the comment that i suspected cults themselves had something to do with it.

  Signs of cults definately isolate members from outsiders. They tell you who you can associate with, what you can listen to, what you can wear, how to groom yourself. It's those who are inside which fail to see they are in a cult, denial.

  Don't let that Borg mind set fear you. There probably is no Armageddon. At least not by how the JW's proclaim it.

  Double Standards in the JW world

  by nevaagain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no other organization has so many written and unwritten rules like the jws.

  so it comes to no suprise that there are a lot of double standards.. even though the end is "near", wt is building new and bigger offices.

  while the small jw should live in a closet and should make plans to have a bigger house in the new world.

  There is no shortage of hypocrisy in the Borg. People who are perceived to be well-off or have money are treated well and not harassed.

  whats worse than being an adult jw?

  when i was a kid i always had a bad concience all the time.

  i believed i would not survive armageddon for the fact that i didn't like going to service and i didnt like going to the meetings.

  Just terrible memories growing up in the Borg. Especially when it came to the holiday season. Being left out of everything the class did or being told who you could or could not befriend.

  On top of that were those horrible, hateful, dreadful magazines and books. Those images of people being burned alive at the big 'A'. Images of the ground swallowing people up by the dozens, fear-mongering conventions. Just terrible, terrible things for a child to endure at such a young age. Terrible childhoods of the people in the Borg.
