  JW ended a relationship with me

  by V1922 in

  2. relationships

  my jw boyfriend just ended a year and a half relationship with me.

  it came out the blue and i'm deeply hurt by this because we were so compatible.

  he did it right before the big annual gathering he is presently attending.

  The best and worst thing you could do to this sleezo is call up the local KH during a Sunday morning and ask to speak to an elder about a very serious matter.

  When you get an elder on the phone tell him it's regarding so-and-so, give the elder the name and ask if he's a member in that congregation and if not ask how you can contact an elder in his congregation.

  When you get an elder of the right congregation you tell him that you'd been having a sexual relationship with this man and that you've found out you weren't the only one and you're upset about his selfish and opportunistic way of using women for sex and dumping them later.

  Tell them you are well aware, as are others, that he is a JW and he's comporting himself in this way. Ask him to look into this and that you would like to follow up with this elder in two to four weeks time.

  The Bible Students General Convention in PA is very much like JW conventions, suited guys standing behind a podium talking iffy religious doctrine like it's God's pronouncement. The Dawn Bible Students are about as cultish as the WT, and yest, I'd even dare call them Russellites due to their insistence that somehow Russell was God's messenger.

  Then you have the non-cultish Free Bible Students who don't believe the 607bce date teaching and rejected all the Russell pyramidology crap.

  The Free Bible Students Conventions, held in Wenham MA, at Gordon College, are a much more informal affair, with lots of singing, and family focus, sessions for kids and break out / small group sessions where every one takes part. The Free Bible Students and Berean Bible Students broke away from Russell over a hundred years ago and have been holding these conventions all along once every year.

  Band Green Day and JWs

  by hardtobeme in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a few years ago i heard of a story about two jw's being at a green day concert.

  i think that the witnesses were bethelites.

  the person that told me that story said that the band was about to play but they couldn't.

  The Snopes web site has a good run down on this urban legend.

  http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/ordered.asp

  It's amazing how rumors spread and how many stars' names and ethnicities or groups are substituted, proving that there's little credence to it.

  One pioneer in the congregation, now elderly and still pioneering, has been spreading this rumor for over thirty years, sometimes she adds a few embellishments that contradict her story and when you remind her of what she said before she gets really serious and says "Well, that's the way I've heard it happened!"

  Pioneer school in 1000 words

  by oppostate in

  2. beliefs

  this strange photo is from a pioneer school graduating class in russia.. they're hiding their faces because, supposedly they don't want to be identified as jw's and run the risk of persecution.. the picture is very telling.

  this very well illustrates how the pioneer school aims to make everyone into faceless drones whose minds are copies of wt indoctrinated automatons and not really individuals.. another thing i noticed when looking at the photo is that some aren't following the instructions to obscure their faces--some peek their eyes above the illuminators textbook and one is quite clearly exposing his profile as if he was talking to his neighbor in mid-shutter instant.. third, it's in russia, and the jw's aren't too welcome there.

  communist oligarchs were quite acquainted with indoctrination and brain-washing techniques, they didn't like competition.

  dyakoub was left speechless!

  @gerrygerry
  "auditing level" LOL!

  It's interesting how societies that are mentally controlling like countries with Communist, Fascist dictatiorships, there is little tolerance for high-control religions/cults, They don't want competition for people's minds!

  TED talks are quite interesting and always make one stop and think, maybe see things in a new way, or just make one say "Wow!" Some of them are really funny, some are profound, and some of them scare the living lights our of me. Yup, TED talks are cool!

  I agree it is a strange photo. I wonder what those green books that they are holding are, they look like they are hardcovered.

  The book is the Pioneer School textbook "Shining as Illuminators." (But more like eliminators, lol!)

  You should see it load up, Jake. It's a big png.

  I've noticed that some of the Google ads are mini-movies and are taking their sweet time loading if you don't have ad block or ad guard and it slows everything way down.

  What do you take from this photo?
