  This is definately bookmarked.

  They spend so long going over & over the same old ground & are prevented from really learning anything. Sad.

  for all those who are still on the fence regarding this evil cult i present one image that tells a thousand stories.

  i just took a screenshot of this months cult indoctrination broadcast.

  although i have watched the "faith in action" video before and it still has the same effect on me as it always does, this image is the most evocative of them all.

  It's like Secretslaveclass often says, these people would more likely been saved if they had not trusted in Jehovah but used their own thinking abilities to get to a (high ?) place of safety.

  Not to mention the agony they would have felt not understanding why they weren't saved - no doubt thinking they had somehow done wrong, always being told Jah blesses those who please him.

  I have a crazy witness story about Astral projection.

  Where I'm from their where a lot of Indian sisters coming into 'the false'& hindu family members (we were told)would try to stop it "because Indian religon is satanic". Fot that read "we know nothing about it so we'll say its bad".

  Anyway one determined granny supposedly astral projected from India to Bedford, attacked the family left blood everywhere " so someone got it but not the witness". I suppose they were protected by mr edgar Jah-hoover.

  Borrowing a beautiful wedding sari I was told not to wear it lest the hindu's atrally project into my bedroom & attack me.

  The person who told me this was a university educated teacher.

  On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post

  by StarTrekAngel in

  i am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.

  i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.

  it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

  i am wondering if my deceased elder father was awake?

  once we found out he was dying, i spent every moment i could with him, we were very close.

  anyway, i offered to read to him a lot when he was resting.

  Thank you for your incredibly touching post.

  I will definately re read James & John in your Dad's memory.

  I think your Dad sounds like he was awake and gave you the best advice he could in the situation. He also sounds like a man of principal, a much rarer thing than we would like to believe.

  Sounds like you were priviledged to have him as a Dad😊

  Welcom btw. Don't worry about some of the heated debates we get into here. What you will notice is that most of the real ding dongs are between long time "grown up"members who "know"each other well enough to take the gloves off.

  Most members are very sensitive to "newbies" and those at different stages of their journey.

  Even the most militant just want you to think for yourself really.I guess that's what your Dad was kind of teaching you to do.

  That's the great thing, you can think what you like and even your ideological nemises will be here to support you if you need it.

  Why JW marriage is a huge problem for the organization.

  by kneehighmiah in

  the difficulty of finding a marriage mate is well known for sisters.

  but i would say it's hard for brothers also.

  i was talking to a jw last night.

  JW marriages often don't work for one simple reason - they marry way too young, before their character has developed, we all know why.

  As others have pointed out what compounds their youth is their emotional immaturity due to their somewhat sheltered life.

  Finally, lack of trust. Again, we know why, the marriage is conditional on the approval of others and compliance with strictly enforced rules.

  It's the godamm clothes they make you wear. Especially in the 80's, man.

  Men in cheap shiny brown or BLUE suits - yuk - padded shoulders and peplum skirts, don't get me started.

  And the record collections. Good grief.I don't care much about looks, but music, now that's serious.
