  i found out this morning via facebook that someone i know returned to “the truth”.. her elder husband had abused her for years until she had a breakdown and had sex with a non believer.

  this happened several years ago.

  she now returned to the fold with her newly converted man.

  The positive is that she has been exposed to this discussion group so I’m hoping for her sake she’s mentally out.

  I think some people are prone to being abused. Sad.

  Disfellowshipping works! She couldn’t see her kids or grandkids so she returned.

  Hopefully she is pimo.

  in the new article about the international convention in manila, the picture of the crowd is pretty telling.

  they look so drained and miserable!.

  International conventions are a sham. They are a consistent revenue stream for the watchtower corporation and their travel agent buddies.

  What it amounts to is buying your status within the congregation by purchasing an overpriced vacation, if you can call it that.

  If I was still PIMI, I'd be terrified

  by neat blue dog in

  2. beliefs

  just looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.

  and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.

  looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .

  I looked over the wt study article. It is more of the same guilt, shame and subtle death threats. It is obvious that this approach works well for the organization or they would change direction.

  Narcissistic Elders/Pioneers

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  today, while listening to a book that covered narcissism, i was a bit surprised to find a connexion with those “seeking privileges” in the organization.

  while not being paid, pioneers, ministerial servants and elders invest a great level of time and effort in upholding their responsibilities.

  fear of being destroyed by god for not doing enough.

  I’ve known more than a few narcissistic elders. They will sacrifice their own economic security for the opportunity to be a big fish in a small pond. I genuinely think some of them would have a total breakdown if they were removed from their position as they voluntarily lead such pathetic lives.

  We lived in a small town with a small congregation. One evening we mowed the unkempt grass at the Kingdom Hall without proper authority. No one ever found out it was us but a local needs part was held the following Wednesday evening about theocratic order.

  i haven’t been on here in awhile and this is my second user name because i was busted by my pimi wife on the first one.

  i have been basically awake since 2013. i have a super dub wife that i love and don’t want to lose and my sick mom in the hall that is a true believer.

  stupid religion has gotten between my wife and i (of course).

  Have a letter of resignation ready to hand them. Don’t deal with the bullshit and psychological/verbal abuse of them having a meeting with you to review your qualifications.

  What happens to Bethelites?

  by rickroll in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so if someone puts their life into serving the cult for free at bethel, then say after 25 or 30 years they are not able to for one reason or another such as illness, or family issue or old age, does the cult have any safety net for these people or is it you serve until you can't and when you can't you just go away?

  They are expected to live off the taxpayer after not contributing to the economy for 40 years.
