That is an iPhone. Nowhere near a jw place, but now that you mention it, they did have two memorials at the same building two weeks ago.

Becuase it is the Watchtower, but it is still the public edition.

Does creating low self esteem in the R&F play into the hands of the GB?
by highdose inofficaly they say that they don't want the r&f to have low self esteem, they say that low self esteem is from the devil.. .
but they create a culture that cannot help but give their r&f crippling self esteem, the constant empasis is on looking at the flaws in oneself.
"pummeling" yourself because of your sins, all the publications tell us over and over again that we are "dust" and deserve nothing.. .

They want everyone, ESPECIALLY the males, to be stripped of the capacity to question authority.
That sounds like a cult.

2011 DC Invitation
by LostGeneration incouple of things i found kind of interesting.
on the front it has the wording "qualify to live in the paradise" or something to that effect.
just another weird thing that jws teach, having to "qualify" for the paradise, based on your works of course.. the back has the image of daniel with the world powers on it, the bottom has a circle with a "?

I always had a bad taste in my mouth for the question on the pioneer and bethel applications that asked, "do you belive that spirtual food from Jehovah is being provided through the "failthful and descreet slave"?"
After hearing him comment on his question if you accept the doctrines of the church as the word of god.....well I have a whole new perspective on the question now.
Excuse my while I go find some mouth wash.
Thank you for the video. Let mention that I have seen some other videos form the exmorman website, I found several others are also very meaningful to me.
If you are a witness on the fence, I reccomend you watch some of the others.

Everything i knew was wrong
by StopTheTears inlooking through the internet i learned that everything i have ever know to be true is a lie at the beginning of time god and his celestial family created the earth and the heavens.
they are the greater force and also the fallen angels that are prophesized in the bible.
they sped up the evolution in people separating them from monkeys.

I was with you until you mentioned Rock 'N' Roll. What do you have against Rock 'N' Roll? Are you saying that Country song about adultry is better than a Rock 'N' Roll song about God?

there are 2 classes of ex Jehovahs witnesses
by the max inhi im part of a group of ex jh,s, we meet for drinks and dinner, go to football games.many of the guys do drugs,(i dont, i like sport) , most live very hedonistic lifestyles, lets leave it at that,(im happily married).
my point is, when i left, i was honest, and got df,d.
now im experiencing the same kind of shit that i experieced in the hall, the ex jw,s are just as judgemental, and stupid as when they were at the kingdom hall, for eg you were df,d we were not,it doesnt matter to them, that their doing coke and getting into group sex.

WontLeave: My experience and your experience couldn't be more different. MOST of the JWs that I knew and met were wonderful people.
I agree I have seen both, I think it is r epresentative of the community they are from.
I would answer this as, I don't want to be around people who would treat me in this fassion, so I wont be frinds with ex-jws that would treat me that way.
I would suggest you find some new friends that compliment the way you live your own life.
As mentioned above there is much truth in the "bad assocation" verse.
