  Just Want To Be Heard

  i've been lurking here for a while now, and i guess you could call me a fader.

  i don't have hate in my heart for the organization that i spent most of my life in, but i have had an awakening.

  luckily, so has my wife, and that way i don't feel so alone.

  Your experiences are very similar to mine. The only difference is that my wife is not fully awake yet.

  Vidiot:

  The internal conflict will be readily apparent on their face (and hugely satisfying to watch), and if it all goes down in front of a group of people, so much the better.

  I might just do that.

  a disgruntled jehovahs witness was caught on camera poisoning his elders milk with weed killer after being excommunicated over an extramarital affair, a court has heard.. .

  for the first time, the advertiser can name and show brett darren mardon, who is standing trial accused of attempting to put three lives at risk the elder, his wife and their young child.. he has denied injecting milk, apple juice and other liquids in the refrigerator of ben anthanysz with glyphosate a weed killer that causes health problems if consumed in large quantities.. mardon has maintained his innocence of the charges despite being recorded by a cctv camera mounted in the anthanyszs kitchen.. opening the trial, prosecutor nick healy said mardons actions were a vengeful response to his church peers ignoring his existence, as required by their faith.. he said mr anthanysz had been part of a three-person jehovahs witness committee that censured mardon for having sex with someone while married.. .

  glyphosate the active ingredient of round up. I thought it was safe. It is sprayed on 50% of the food we eat.

  I can go on vacation to the same place swim, snorkel enjoy some shows, drink until I puke my face off and it would be overlooked but if I swing a hammer so a poor person can have a house I could be in trouble with the congregation

  My cult training kicked in and I reactively said no. It is not until next year. I might talk it over with mrs hoser tonight.

  by nevaagain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am starting this topic because i was wondering, i see many who leave "the truth" are glad because they can finally have a beard.

  is having a beard really a no go in congregations?

  how is / was it in your congregation?.

  I was hauled into the back room and pretty well ordered to trim, thin, and shorten my mustache, or else.

  Lett briefly addresses the child abuse issues in new JW.org video

  by Richard_I in

  2. friends

  i just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.

  link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.

  as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.

  He gets angry when he talks about apostates. You can see it in his face.

  What exactly is encouragement?

  by naazira in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when elders want to meet with an inactive person to encourage them, what does this really mean?

  encouragement is a term thrown around by the organisation.

  does this encouragement usually consist of prying into the inactive one's lifestyle?.

  More fear mongering. I guess if it's worked for 130 years , why not continue?
