  Just found out Chris Stuckmann is ex-JW

  chris stuckmann is a youtube reviewer of films and aspiring film maker himself.. he has over a million subscribers to his channel.

  in my ignorance, i've always been a bit jealous of successful youtubers, including stuckmann - y'know, 'they make loads of money, life must be great for them.'.

  and then i found out chris stuckmann used to be a jw, was born into it, and walked away from it.. he says in this video that even now, his dad will probably never speak to him again for telling all about his past.. well, all the best, chris stuckmann!.

  I enjoyed the whole discussion. It was not a rant neither did it exaggerate. It highlighted things that should be of concern to anyone.

  Above all it showed that there is a way to be a well balanced, sane human being at peace with himself.

  You are so right Phizzy;

  They use family and friends to coerce you by the method known as " Shunning", an Un-Christian and Unscriptural practice.

  Whilst they have anyone you care about remaining "in". You have to decide whether you can live estranged from them. They have the power of your own love and loyalty to family and will use it against you. They make the choices inhumanly tough.

  Harry, Meghan the Royal Apostates

  i just watched the oprah interview.

  i know that many view them with little interest as just entitled wastes of space and i get that.. however, the description of how they were "trapped" and silenced and forced into perpetuating the system with little or no personal freedom rang bells for me.

  they are effectively shunned, estranged and disparaged by their family and cut off from support.

  The aspect that I saw and recognised was the fact that once you question the received wisdom, the life you had is over. No room for argument, no debate. Of course they have gone from wealth. and privilege to wealth and privilege but Meghan's story reminds me of love bombing, baptism and then (too late) reality.

  Please understand I am not suggesting that this is a direct comparison, just that those aspects made my skin crawl.

  This is a giant face-saver. Now the legislation is passed they have to obey caesar by their own rules. Surprise, surprise, that obedience is going to save them millions in tax dollars.

  So, obey with bad grace and hope no-one notices.

  Does anyone know how Leonard and Marjorie Chretien are doing today?

  they are the hosts of the first jw documentary in 1986 entitled, "witnesses of jehovah.

  " they authored a book of the same name.

  they were probably in their late 40's / early 50's in 1986, so i was wandering if they were still active or even alive?

  This is striking at the heart of what JWs see as religious "freedom". I hope it runs and runs.

  Further thoughts on the new media Center project

  by nowwhat? in

  2. beliefs

  the organization figured out that a big building project gives the rank and file something to be engaged in and excited about.

  it distracts them from their hamster wheel life.

  and it buys them another 5 years until the next big thing.

  This feels like studying the entrails of a mouse in the hope that the results will cast an insight into the future. I find this return to what seems significant to the faithful, the very kernel, of all that leaves me bored and cold.

  To anyone that finds it interesting, good luck to you.
