  The rules are not there to protect the flock they are there to protect the organisation. The rules do not prevent premarital sex, molestation, drunkeness, strife, adultery, stealing, cruelty, violence, incest, misery and broken homes. The rules cause people to hide behaviour and conform to a code of silence.

  The rules cause people to put trust in men who are ill equipped to deal with complex issues leading to long term damage and mental anguish.

  You are not protected anymore than sheep in a pen outside a slaughter house are protected, you are just controlled and will be sacrificed to the hubris of a cult if the need arises.

  By the time they get to reading the publication it may well be out of date or modified. The on line publications are often altered just after the published paper copies are distributed.

  They will never catch up or even hope to understand the convoluted logic of the organisation who have the problem of remembering the old lies so they can keep their story straight whilst feeding new lies to their flock.

  Vacation pioneerig has been going for years. My husband used to do it and was miserable the whole month. He used to do a lot of walking round the territory as we are in a rural area and it takes hours getting from a to b.

  So glad that this is not on my plan for the year.

  The elders wife is a deluded woman who truly believes she is something special, in reality she is an arrogant, shallow woman who works in a supermarket.

  The religion has a diminishing effect on it's worshippers and this can lead to them behaving in a way that is cold and unfeeling to another. The fact that her behaviour unsettled you is quite normal and it gives you an opportunity to plan how you will behave in future should a similar event happen again. By preparing in advance you will feel less caught off guard and more in control and the encounter will have less power to upset you.

  I'm not trying to brag, but being an EXJW is awesome!!! Status Update-

  hello jwn!

  i don't get to check in here or comment as often as i would like because i have been working so hard at school...but i just have to share my news in hopes that newbees can see that taking the leap to enroll in higher education is worth it-.

  i am graduating this spring with a bachelor degree in art history, minor anthropology...many people (including nonjw's have given me flack for choosing a "dead end" career path) but since leaving the watchtower organization's group-think mentality and "leaning on my own understanding" instead... i decided to say fuck everyone else's opinion...i am going to pursue my passion to work in a museum as a curator or archivist-.

  Well done that is an awesome achievement. Just shows how important it is to allow our talents to blossom. As a group we have so much potential it is truly good news to see someone achieving such good things.

  7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.

  i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.

  i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.

  if you are sure there is no god, do you then believe that we,our minds, are the highest intelligence?

  not just of the universe, but the cosmos?.

  This is all about control, don't talk to those who have doubts or those in the organisation that aren't totally conditioned. It is fear of discovery that prompts this not fear of contamination.
