48 hours investigates accused killer who impersonated journalist.
march 27, 2015, 8:20 am|a journalist strikes up an unlikely friendship with an accused killer who took his name -- what happened next would become a book and a film.
This is a tragic story. I feel sorry for MaryJane, Zachery, Sadie, and Madison.
Unfortunately, JWs will feel vindicated of their beliefs by this story because it shows what happens when JWs leave the Watchtower and that MaryJane and the children are guaranteed to live in Paradise Earth. I wish news organizations would show more stories of successful exJWs leaving the Watchtower, than this kind of tragic story.
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

For those who have read Combatting Cult Mind Control, what are your feelings about it being available in e-book format? Are e-books better than paperback books for JWs to read about topics such as BITE manipulation techniques?

as someone brought up as a jw and been an elder and been disfellowshipped (twice!!!
) i find it difficult to understand why ex jws have to attack the religion, yes religion, not cult or sect.
i am no longer disfellowshipped just do not want to practice anymore.
Welcome newqatarjob, Would you classify yourself as a JW or ex-JW? I hope that you return to read many of the thoughtful replies to your thread.
DITTO what other posters wrote in response to your thread. Many former JWs are in various stages of grief and anger, so JWs/ex-JWs may perceive them as attacking the Watchtower because the Watchtower has victimized JWs with BITE control manipulation techniques. It may take decades of intensive counseling to remove the many layers of phobias created by the Watchtower.
If you would like to learn more about how dangerous cults manipulate their members, please watch this video: Strategic Interactive Approach explained 2003 (1:23:23).
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

my wife and sons don't know how far i have gone in withdrawing from the organization in my heart.
i've been faking family worship.
i got angry and almost showed it while watching the march tv.org.
Welcome vinman, I'm sorry that you feel so alone. You are not alone and you do have options. You just have to initially deal with the confusion and stages of grief that you are feeling and then move on to making plans how to help your loved ones to start critically thinking for themselves.
Don't rush into telling JWs how you feel or what you learned until they tell you their doubts. Learn how to ask simple questions of JW family and friends to plant seeds of doubt in them and how to overcome thought-stopping platitudes that they say like "Where else would we go?"
Post how you feel on JWN so that you do not explode your feelings on your family and to learn what options that you may have. Is there a non-JW who you can talk to about your feelings? Can you afford to talk with a counselor?
Research the Watchtower's history and doctrines through reputable websites like www.jwfacts.com, www.watchtowerdocuments.com, and www.jwsurvey.com.
Have you read information by cult-exit counselors like Steven Hassan's books (i.e., "Combatting Cult Mind Control", "Releasing the Bonds: Empowering People to Think for Themselves", and (his latest book) "Freedom of Mind: Helping Loved Ones Leave Controlling People, Cults, and Beliefs), visited his website www.freedomofmind.com, and watched his videos like Strategic Interactive Approach explained 2003 (1:23:23)?
Best of wishes making your plans to live free from the Watchtower's use of BITE manipulation techniques and using undue influence to victimize JWs.
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,
Robert
here's an idea.
we know the wtbts fears exposure more than anything.
so what if we made an organized, concerted effort to contact every celebrity jw that we can think of?
defender of truth - Also, here's a tip:
"Twitter assumes that if you begin your tweet with an @ reply then it is only of interest to you and the select group of your followers who also happen to be following the person you are addressing your message to.
While that may indeed be the case, it limits potential interaction between your followers who might NOT be following that individual but who might genuinely be interested in the conversation you are having with them."
Thanks for the tip defender of truth.
I hope that the tweets that I sent from https://twitter.com/nodangerousorgs do not offend anyone.
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

i am sick of being told this same crap after decades of suffering at the hands of wicked men and women, how many of you have had to fight these irrational expectations we are supposed to grin and smile when people are actively trying to screw with us and elders say .
good it is that one should wait, even silently, for the salvation of jehovah (lamentations 3:26; titus 2:13).
my life in the organization has not been entirely bad, there were many good people and plenty of jerks like you all experienced in this adventure we call life.
Welcome PokerPlayerPhil, How about the following:
I'm waiting for the return of Jesus Christ as the Bible promises, but why not report crimes to the police in the mean time? How is the WTBTS better at investigating child sexual abuse than the police?

I just tweeted Naomi Campbell the following:
@NaomiCampbell How do you feel about this PBS report https://youtu.be/hKFThyNKU1w ? I read you were a JW on www.jwfacts.com .
According to www.jwfacts.com Naomi Campbell was a JW and according to her Twitter page she is also an activist. Since I established a Twitter account as NoDangerousOrgs, I will probably send more messages to other exJWs/JWs once I am more confident about tweeting.
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

Hi DATA-DOG, I like the idea! I just wonder how many ex-JWs celebrities want to forget about being a JW. It seems that the WTBTS's mind manipulation adversely manipulates ex-JWs long after they leave the WTBTS.
I would like to get ordinary ex-JWs just to support political change. I have not been very successful at getting large enough numbers of ex-JWs/non-JWs to become involved to influence politicians to support a bill that I wrote about in the thread Revise Tax Code to Protect Children from Sexual Abuse. The bill would not infringe on an individual's Constitutional rights, but would protect children from sexual abuse as well as prevent non-profit organizations from using or promoting undue influence to its members.
It seems that protecting children from sexual abuse is not as interesting as what Kim Kardasian is doing.
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,
Robert
