  Finally learned how to live the REAL real life

  by forest heathen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone suggested i post an introductory thread.

  i am a married, rather young grandma of four precious rugrats, ages 2-9. i guess our only child son and his only child wife didn't want their own kids to be "onlies".

  my other half and i married rather young (18 &22) and will be celebrating 31 years together this summer.. i am sort of add, keep thinking i am still 28, love my husband now more than ever, and am so glad i woke up and left the crazy cult.. my husband and i began studying months after marrying and then decided to take the dunk.

  JUSTICE #14 - Caring for the Needy - Not!

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  caring for the needy not!

  when i first became a jw in the late 1960s and all the years thereafter, the watch tower society would frequently boast about the loving care and concern that jws show among themselves, providing for the needy during disasters, even helping the world.

  the society would publish in the magazines, or comments at conventions about how the world observed our efficiency and overwhelming spirit of giving.. what about the rest of the year?

  JUSTICE #10 - What you say will be Twisted

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a lawyer once told me, "everything you say can and will be twisted against you in a court of law.".

  a situation came up that recalled yet another act of jw justice.

  another person commented to me regarding the above, "no doubt this little axiom more than applies in judicial committee meetings too.

  JUSTICE #11 - Control Them with FEAR!

  by Amazing in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as long as you control a person with guilt and fear, you control them forever!

  on one judicial committee i served, we had a young 25 year old man meet with us.

  he requested the meeting, as is the case almost 100% of the time when it involves the secret 'sin.'.

  Wow.....can't imagine how mortified this young man will

  feel, if & when he wakes up & catches on to watchtower BS.

  In some way or another, watchtower has made jerks of all

  of us (no pun intended)!

  I'm afraid I'd be single for life

  by ohnightdivine in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  this is quite embarrassing for me to share, but as a 30+ year old single female i have lingering doubts as to whether i can still meet a decent man and get married.. you all know how difficult it is for sisters to find an appropriate partner in the congregation.. and now, all the more so that i've learned ttatt.

  i still am bound by low self-esteem, and i do have trust issues, especially with men.

  i am very lonely and so i just keep myself busy with work to avoid depression (although it is also a great source of stress).. any other single females out there having similar thoughts?.

  OND..... don't give up if that is what you want!

  *

  I was 'kept' in solitary confinement' for decades,

  you know........ must not marry out of da truf. Such a self defeating situation!

  It would have been helpful if they came right out

  and said "hey the watchtower org is 73% female",

  so your chances of finding a male are slim to none!

  So sweety, get out there where the population is

  pretty much 50 -50. You've got 8 billion people

  to check out and half of them at least, are male!

  How would you define RELIGION, and why?

  by Fernando in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "judge" rutherford defined or classified all religion as "a snare and a racket" in his books "religion" and "enemies".. after rutherford's death in 1942, his protege, watchtower vice president, and aclu darling, hayden c. covington, in the early 1950's, for reasons of legal expedience and supremacist aspirations, suddenly converted the watchtower into a religion.. this was done alongside one of the most audacious, spurious and longstanding swindles of the us legal system.

  this involved twisting philippians 1:7 and misrepresenting the watchtower's true nature, objectives and activities.. .

  this meant that it became necessary for the watchtower to suddenly reclassify and redefine religion (w51 1/15 p. 43 new legal booklet well named; w51 8/15 p. 511 questions from readers; yb75 p. 161 part 2 "for gladys bolton...").. two new watchtower classifications were suddenly created: "true religion" and "false religion".. now "true religion" meant "true beliefs" whilst "belief" in ever changing watchtower doctrine was equated with the one "faith" of scripture.. all this while the watchtower increasingly and maliciously truncated, obfuscated and hid the liberating full "good news" (or unabridged gospel) of scripture, which it lyingly claimed (in court) that it was actually "defending and legally establishing".. how would you have defined religion before learning ttatt?.

  2. scandals

  before i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.

  during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.

  as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.

  Richard Haley ...welcome to the board Richard,

  good to have you.

  I disagree that the df reason was not

  announced!...... I was shocked to hear

  such private details being publically exposed,

  such as drunkeness, sexual immorality etc.

  This was 1960 in Canada.
