  I had breakfast with 50+ JWs on Sunday

  we pulled into a hotel parking lot saturday around 6pm on the return leg of a wonderful family vacation to new england - an then fate stepped in---a man in a suit got out of a car with the rest of a picture perfect family.

  i immediately noticed all the name tags--- and my blood pressure spiked 50pts- damn!!

  i was booked in a 4 story hotel full of jws-- the only time they took off the name tags was in the swimming pool- they were so proud of themselves.. at 6:30 am the hot water went cold in the wife's shower- what do you expect on the 4th floor when a herd of jws is trying to get ready at the same time?

  Nice......hope you cracked some shells on those nuts.

  herd mentality at its best (at assemblies) nice to single people out and talk with them.

  Swahili Congregation in the Midwest -- Why?

  i almost posted this in the humor section, because honestly, i almost thought it was a joke.

  my family and i were driving through a suburb of st. louis, missouri this afternoon on the way back to illinois and home.

  i took a back road through a bedroom community and ended up on a 2 lane road that led me right past the last kingdom hall i attended in 2007 before i left for good.

  Snakes, that maybe the last KH the ex and I worked on in St Louis. Lots of prep work for quick builts back then. About 30 some years ago, a double KH in that area.

  I grew up in St Louis, but can't remember Black Jack (will google it) but isn't it near Ferguson???

  late 50's my parents studied and went to the Kinloch KH (morphed into the Florissant cong). Kinlock was a small city in the St Louis suburbs with an all black government. Not heard of anywhere in the USA in the late 50's. Kinlock borders Ferguson,

  sorry to high jack, but nothing surprises me about that cult. (Crazy)

  Great read, huh!

  I, like you, could not put it down. Put a bible cover over it and read it during a Sunday meeting. (much better than the talk and watchtower and no lightening came down to expose me) hehe

  Watch how the house of cards fall down. But be careful, as others have warned here. Take it slow, if you mentally can, so you can reach your wife and other family members. (me, I wanted to quit touching the disgusting thing (WTBTS) immediately after reading COC, but husband at the time convinced me to take it slow. It helped get our grown children out, but nothing for the rest of the family. Everyone will respond differently.

  Enjoy the rest of your life!

  "As far as I remember, woman weren't even allowed to hold microphones"

  "Actually they are allowed to, but ONLY IF there are no brothers available"

  I'm SHOCKED!!!! Sisters get to hold a phallic looking object??? (lol @ only when someone who has a phallic organ is not present) I bet they have to have a head covering on while doing so! (condom??)

  ROTFMAO

  How many years will pass before the world recognizes we were right?

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  its inevitable that at some point in time, people will look back and see that the exjw community was right about the watchtower organization and the bible..

  i have some friends who are catholic, protestant, and some who dont associate with any religion but believe jesus will come in their lifetime.

  we are such a small minority compared to christians that we are viewed as ignorant when it comes to religious matters.

  Black and white thinking again. You cannot use mathematics as a comparison to judgemental thinking. Life is never an us vs. them. Only in cults.

  Being "right" is a JW mentality. Maybe more deprogramming is needed😏

  What Jehovah's Witnesses need to do to become Mainstream

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was raised a jehovah's witness, so i know all the "ins-and-outs" of their theology and belief system..

  in my view, they can become a part of mainstream christianity and lose their cult status by making just a few changes for the better:.

  1: stop their severe shunning practices.

  Don't forget the "2 witness" rule.... report all child abuse to authorities, to be handled by trained professionals.
