Finding a new family? First post!
by SpeedRacer in
1. jw
2. friends
i have been lurking and reading for a couple weeks now.

i love the topics and it has inspired me to say hello to all my fellow apostates.

i was awakened to how my family feels about me and my wife shortly after the international assembly.

Speed ...so sorry that this has happened to you too!

An familiar evil story.

When the shun becomes overt, and undeniable......

I felt gutted.....and no doubt you did too.

Hang in there and really dig for the truth about

everything you are not sure about.

Glad you have your wife & sons...so there is

some immediate comfort for you.

There are many newbies coming on here

everyday, so you have good company.

Welcome & best wishes to you & the Mrs.

What Happened to my DEAR FRIEND?
by NoMoreHustle in
1. jw
2. friends
when i first learned about the bull $#@!

about the cult that i am in, i reached out to my good friend who brought me into this organization through a study.

this man is wonderful human being & i thought would be understanding to my struggles.
clarity

Made the mistake of mentioning that I found out

that the gb say they are the mediators for us, not

christ. Well big reaction, my friend loudly stated that

this is a lie..............:-( !!!!!

Going on two years now......still no contact & she

still has not looked it up to prove if I was a 'liar'or not!

So my friendship wasn't worth very much to her!

Omg these people are so damaged in the head!

three months ago i had to stop driving my car.

it wouldn't pass inspection and it would cost about $3k to get it up to par.. well, it's a 98 honda accord with about 179 thousand miles on it, what did i expect?.

.. i decided i would switch to riding a bicycle instead.. it has worked out fairly well.. i put about 10 miles a day on it.

WHERE CAN I FIND A JEHOVAH WITNESS OR KINGDOM HALL PEDOPHILE STICKER?
by BucketShopBill in

2. child-abuse
where can i find stickers warning locals we have two pedophiles in our congregation and they enjoy parking near middle schools watching the girls walk by?

they are not on the sex registry because the elders did not call the police in the 1990s, so these pedophiles think their home free!.

how can i warn the town i live in jw pedophiles are spending lots of time going door-to-door?

This is what the cards look like.......send some

in your town.

shunning within the family.
by bigmac in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm giving 3 examples of this practice--that i know of personally.. .

my first wife--born in--divorced me over 30 years ago.

she totally shuns our son--now 38--d/f'd and now happily married and enjoying life to the max.. my pioneer partner--from the mid 60's-----he totally shuns his daughter---to the point of even ignoring her in the street.. a close friend of mine--in the 60's and 70's-----i was best man at his wedding.
clarity

SG.........

#1. You have an equal right to post on here as

everybody else! No shunning here.

Thank you for sharing your information, hope

to see you again. Congratulations on

waking-up from this damaging cult, and

wishing you all the best!

Do you like the people in the Bible?
by Dis-Member in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the society always speaks about all the wonderful people and characters in the bible.. they always too speak of many of them as being so humble, faithful, loyal, diligent, loving, kind, wise, merciful etc, and worthy of imitation.

also of how god blessed them followed by endless examples and reasons why we today should imitate them.. .

they also speak of how wonderful it would be to meet some of these people in the future 'new system' and have often depicted scenes where the the survivors of armageddon would be gathered around some ancient resurrected faithful asking them questions and listening to their stories of times past.

Nah ...I hate fiction!

Watchtower transformation to JW.org - step by step TTATT recap
by 4thgen in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the watchtower has been making cunning and calculated changes in the organization to gain more money, power and control.

jwn has a multitude of posts on the rapid metamorphosis of the watchtower into jw.org.

please feel free to comment and interject your thoughts.

Nice information, thanks for starting it.

Watchtowers quote in 1953 shows plainly

from early days, what their intent has always been.........

A continuall mind $@^%!

"Minds must be cleansed" (Watchtower, June 1, 1953, p. 350 par. 24). 24 In these closing days of wickedness Jehovah’s people must demonstrate holiness. They must not foul their minds with the filthy mental food on the propaganda tables of this old world, but must feed on the feast of fat things Jehovah provides. (Isa. 25:6; 28:8.) Minds must be cleansed and made over, mental circuits formed by old-world thinking and acting faded out and new ones put in according to new-world specifications. By privately studying regularly, by attending all meetings regularly, and by engaging in all features of the preaching work regularly mental circuits are deepened and such good activities become habitual, not at all the struggle they are when the mental circuits are weak and faint because used only occasionally. For ourselves and for others, make them strong!—1 Tim. 4:16
