@goingthroughthemotions

I'm in your same situation. To me the fact that my wife puts the views, words, and opinions of a any JW elder above mine on anything not just those things related to religion and belief is almost a form of adultery.

Remember the Scripture about the three thong cord that wouldn't easily be torn in two? Well, the WT's added itself in as a forth thong, and it's chaffing my bum, because this thong is continually getting frizzly frazzled, irritated and progressively becoming irrelevantly redundant in this marriage relationship.

The marriage vows I spoke were to my wife before God, and they didn't include the WT. How the heck do they dare butt into my marriage relationship and steal away my wife's soul, this brazen, butt-faced, marriage-wrecking Cult!

Horley Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses UK (disbanded)

by konceptual99 in

does anyone in the uk know any details about the above congregation?

it seems it was disbanded by the co specifically because of "lack of love" and members reassigned to other congregations in the reigate and crawley areas.. i've checked the charities commission web site and the charity was removed in may 2012.. http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/showcharity/registerofcharities/removedcharitymain.aspx?registeredcharitynumber=1066699&subsidiarynumber=0.

the cobe was a guy called rossiter (sp?

I've never heard of a congregation being disbanded for "lack of love". But... Maybe it was lack of love for the Gobbering Body and its traveling representatives.

It seems that in Japan, Anthony Morris III's talk against tight pants was not translated accurately or forcefully enough.

I'm glad to be free, but the realization that since I'll be 58 this month. i don't have a lot of time left to do it my way.

So true, F2b, so very true.

For us who've given the best decades of our lives to this cult, feeling like we've been robbed is naturally going to raise up feelings of great disappointment and anger.

We may be out, but we cannot claim back the precious time of our younger days. How can we reclaim that? How could we ever get that back?

And if we're still in due to family it can make us feel trapped, having to be in constant opposition to the control of the WT hierarchy with every article they print, yet careful with whatever we say in every conversation with a JW under their spell. Constantly reminded how they continue to steal others' lives and best years for their corporate benefit.

Dr Applewhite and Conti's case

by Viva la Vida in

this is from conti's appeal veredict:.

monica applewhite, a clinical social worker and an expert on child sexual abuse, testified for defendants that watchtowers policy against disclosing private information .

very closely mirror[ed] the codes of ethics of the national association of social workers and the american counseling association.

oppostate

I think that in the case of Dr. Applewhite, money talks, in fact money talks bull$hit. They pay her to present a cozy moral, caring image for the WT.

Her testimony before the Royal Commission was exposed as lacking factual basis.She was shown up to be inaccurate in her report and that makes one doubt her integrity, she was either colluding or she was totally ignorant, in either case she's not a truthful expert nor accurate witness.

How could she ever be used in any child abuse courtcases, like the Conti case, when she has obviously sold her reputation on behalf of the WT and for their 0rganizational Corporate benefit against child abuse victims.

@Makemeanunbeliever

I understand your point but why the immature word substitution for "governing"?

That is an excellent question and I'm glad you asked it. The answer is simple. Anger.

I feel an emotional release by retaliating verbally against a group of men that controlled and governed over my mind and soul for the better part of my youth and my productive years as a human being.

They set themselves above anyone else, in fact just between God and men, promising a better life, everlasting life if we followed their rules and regulations, if we gave our minds and our energy to their purposes.

Becoming awake to their manipulation and no longer wrapped around their pinky ringed finger, I find myself ostracized and relegated to their rubbish pile, discarded and put away, mentally diseased, worthless in their eyes.

I oppose their judgement of me as somehow lacking, as not being good enough, as worthy of disdain.

When I verbally strike out at them with sophomoric expressions it reminds me that they are just a bunch of incompetent spiritual shepherds, whose leadership is based on mind control and cultish practices.

Making fun of their right to "govern" helps me cut them down to size in my mind, and I find this therapeutic.

Immature? Perhaps, maybe even probably so, but I find that although intellectually I have grown and advanced mentally through the years, emotionally I was prevented from growing in many ways by belonging to their 0rganization.

This group of men practice a bait and switch scam where they appeal to your reason in separating you from whatever other beliefs you may have held then they change over from reason to emotion. Enticing you with promises of a never ending life of bliss.

We are kept emotionally in suspense over this ever approaching fulfillment of a wonderful new earth where the lion will eat straw and live with the lamb side by side, where there will no one to do harm. We are held back by a false hope that fills our minds and hearts with devotion and obedience to their every word, to their ever changing doctrines and regulations.

We are taught to suspend our belief in the truth we experience and place our hope in their Truth, in their assurances of a better experience full of love and care.

When you see they are not really motivated by love nor care and that their goal is to further their corporate empire, then you become worthless to them, even a threat to their establishment.

It feels good to use sophomoric name calling as an outlet for my disappointment and ongoing disgust with the WT hierarchy. It would probably feel better to personally beat the crap out of them.

But then, away from their mind control, accepting the moral guidelines of the Christian Gospel, I find myself reaching out for a better emotional state. Improving my outlook on humanity, and seeing the beauty of diversity, whereas through their teaching I thought myself better than those in the world, set apart, special and remaining emotionally bound.

Breaking those bonds hasn't been easy. But I'm realizing I am part of this living and thriving world, where we all have a right, perhaps even a basic human need, to search for the truth and find meaning in our lives.

As I grow emotionally I see the mental scars of their bindings fading, but while they remain they're a constant reminder of their abuse and coercion into submission.

If lashing out at them with sophomoric name calling allows me to let go of the anger inside and continue allowing myself to emotionally break with them and see them as the pitiful little tyrants they are then so be it. Gobbering Body be damned!

Watchtower marketing incentive rewards for young single baptized males in the 0rganization.

The face of the photobombing brother in the background says it all. Like a child in a candy shop. The Gobbering Body knows quite well the pull of sexual attraction and its emotional pull. They have set a trap to draw members and keep them under subjection. And it starts with the pretty smile of a sister, the big grin of an interested brother.

The steps to this trap are:

For males.

1. As a young man if you're attracted to the opposite sex there's high percentage of females available for each male.

2. In order to even think of getting married to a Witness female you must be baptized.

3. If you want one of these prize females you need to be reaching out and be at least an MS or higher.

4. Once married you better not lose faith in the WT and its Gobbering body or your relationship will suffer, you will not get laid for months, if at all, unless you are towing the cult party line, your wife will distance herself from you emotionally and draw closer to others in the congregation especially elders who become substitute spiritual heads for her.

For females.

1. As an available female of marriageable age you find yourself competing with other Witness females for the limited number of marriageable males in the 0rganization.

2. In order to get married you must be baptized and in good standing.

3. You should pioneer if you want a prize male, that is someone with some status in the congregation, who can raise your own standing in the congregation and you need to make sure this brother has the ability and desire to reach out.

4. Once married you better not lose faith in the WT and its Gobbering body, otherwise there wll be trouble, your homelife will be toast and your emotional intimacy goes down the drain, in the relationship with this WT head of the house.

Conclusion:

The Gobbering Body likes to use the natural need for sex and emotional intimacy to draw and keep their members in subjection. And it all starts with that pretty smile.

Dino Ali is an idiot. The judge should have asked him what he would do if a fellow member of the cong was trying to murder him. I bet he wouldn't phone the branch office then.

Sadly one of the best ways to wake up from this cult is when something drastic and unnerving hits you personally, when the realization of injustice stares you right in the face.

Then there's no rationalizing and looking for excuses for wrongs committed. We can excuse when unjust things happen to others, but when they happen to us then the truth of the high control and lack of caring hits you hard.

Wow nov 15 wt they refuse to show love to all

by poopie in

jw
friends

wow the artcle love your neghboor the writer is trying to squeeze thorough what he feels is a loophole.

the problem is there is no loophole in gods law of love its amazing but eventually they will come to the realization that all people need love.

keep trying to skirt around it your digging yourself into a hole.

oppostate

The WT likes to tickle their sheeple's ears and assure them that yes is no and no is yes. They don't have to act Christian, just keep doing what we tell you to do, obey, obey, obey us.

The sheeple like to be told that they have no responsibility to have love of neighbor as long as they are involved in gaining new victims for the WT to feed on--feeding on peoples energy and work, their money, their futures.

These GB following drones like to be told what to do because then they don't have to listen to their consciences nagging them to act like Christians are supposed to if they truly follow the Christ, and "imitate Jesus".

The GB and WT hierarchy provides the false peace of mind and ease of conscience, but at the price of a persons very soul and life. They are spiritualistic vampires sucking the life out of those who fall into their mind trap.

JW EXPERT WITNESS FLOORED BY COMMISSION OF INQUIRY LAWYER

by steve2 in

much has already been written about dr monica applewhite, the expert witness hired by the jw organization.

her job was to provide "expert" testimony to the australian commission of inquiry into jehovsh's witnesses' policies and practices on child sexual abuse.

astonishingly, dr applewhite was unprepared for the inquiry lawyers' questions.

oppostate

The WT lawyer wanted her to do another report saying how JW's are way ahead of other religious organizations in having in place written guidelines on how to proceed with cases of sexual abuse.

The WT lawyer, also, kept offering the commission, that they would in essence hire her for as much time as needed if she could fit them into her schedule.

McLelland said this is not a contest of who is better. But to find what procedures are not good and what is done right. If that's what her report is then it would be useful, but a report to measure one against another religious organization would be a waste of time.

So the WT lawyer says he understand, and yes your honor, and then says the same thing and offer the same thing. So McLelland has to repeat himself, must have had to say it to the lawyer three times.

The WT wants to be compared because they think that having written guidelines gives them the high moral ground. But what they fail to realize is that the Commission does not find fault with religious institutions not having resources to investigate such cases and who turn to the secular authorities and let them investigate the truth of the matter, that's what those institutions are there for.

It all boils down to the fact that the WT doesn't want to have secular authorities overseeing them and exposing their cultish controlling ways, they think they are above the law. And this fact will exposed them for the harmful religious cult that they are.
