  after more than a month of not attending the meetings, my girls will be returning to the meeting tomorrow.

  their father is taking them.

  i was so happy because my girls were free from the boredom, drudgery and mind control inflicted upon those that attend.

  What Congregation should you attend?

  by Quarterback in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can someone, please, help me in finding this?.

  i remember in a kingdom ministry, written quite some time, ago.. it mentioned that it was upto the individual family to determine what congregation they would attend, based on their own circumstances.

  they wouldn't be subjected to determined boundaries.. does anyone remember that one, and where it exists?.

  Parrish hopping happens out in the "world" too, I know a family that crosses town to another church... passing several of their denomination's churches on the way. Not a big deal.

  Active Witness Reading Combatting Cult Mind Control

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have gotten a thought about how to wake active witnesses up.

  since the book does not mention jws specifically, if you could get a active jw to read ccmc, what do you think their reaction would be?

  could they clearly see how jws fit in as a cult?, or would the average jw be blinded to the obvious and just see how other groups like mormons, moonies, scientology, etc fit the mold?

  I'd go for it. He already doesnt follow directions regarding only reading JW publications. You can ask a question or two about what he read or mention some issue you found interesting.

  Did you ridicule apostates for attacking the Org. and not Bible doctrine?.

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a busy little pie-in-ear we had a local apostate who would come and pretend to be interested.

  he always attacked russell and rutherford and the early organization.

  (this was in the late 80's early 90's) after he left, the young brother with me said, "these apostates always attack the imperfect organization but never can show anything from the bible.

  Never talked to anyone while in.... never baptised. I left as soon I could, but just knew I would never be a "good little JW" and felt that the end was so soon I would see what the world was like. 1975 came and went, I started to read bible history from a non JW standpoint.

  I married, had a family, etc. My JW family would talk about changes and I wondered what else was changing.

  Computers came in the 1990s and then search engines.... *I could find out what else was happening! Read Crisis of Conscience and no more guilt.
