  I could give two shits about the adults in this hall. In this day and age where virtually all kids have access to google and are not afraid to use it, (unlike us adults at first) at least one kid will google that name. The adults are a lost cause. They are either on cruise control or they are not willing to make the needed sacrifice for their own personal freedom. The children do not have that choice. They are forced to be there. Somebody coming into their public meeting hall and openly questioning a group of men that "should never be questioned" is HUGE to a child while at the same time reinforcing the completely indoctrinated ones that they are under persecution.

  It seems like those who disapprove do so because it is not polite or not in good taste. Unconventional religions need to be dealt with in unconventional ways. I do not need to stand up and make a scene at the lutheran church i go to because I can openly disagree with members or pastors and not have my family ripped away from me.

  There is more than one way to skin a cat

  dgeero.... That is excellent. The worst enemy of the society is the society. The memorial is one of my ex-wife's "holidays" for our placement schedule. Every year I tell my girls "What does jesus tell you to do with the wine and bread and what do the elders tell you to do with the wine and bread" they are both early teens and this has had a huge influence on them. Use whatever you can.... Good luck

  William, I can picture my mother there as well. My mother chose this religion. She CHOSE this religion. Think of all the kids in that hall that heard the name and will google the name that came up. Instead of years of dreaded pounding from only the kingdom hall, watchtowers and brochures they all of a sudden have something exciting happen at a kingdom hall. Younger kids WILL check that out. As much as I do not like to say it, your mother and my mother chose their paths. They are laying in the bed they made. While this may not help the older ones... the older ones really don't matter. Get the kids out!

  Rude.. check

  disrespectful... check

  It is also funny and most likely will not help any of the die-hards or people who stay trapped because they dont want to lose any "relationships" However, there is no doubt in my mind that the younger people will search this stuff out. No one can help people get out until they are ready but for any kids that really are trapped by parents who simply dont get it or dont want to get it can be helped by this type of whistle blowing.

  The jw business model is genius. Train kids up from infancy to NEVER question anything at the kingdom hall. When a kid sees this model blatantly interrupted RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DATE FOR JW"S they can see first hand that in fact it is possible to question this church. The jw bubble works because people do not want to make waves and want to be polite and most important they just don't pop the bubble. If this stunt popped the bubble for even ONE teenager it is worth it.

  If you were hoodwinked into this church and lost years of your life before you finally woke up then that is your own fault. If you were born in like I was and had no choice to be in this cult, this would have been awesome. Fuck the people who look at this and are reinforced into this cult. We only have a short time on this earth and every second you spend in this cult is a second of wasted personal freedom. Get the kids out... the sooner the better.

  The fact that you have weekly conversations is a big deal. Do not feel like you have to force anything. If you are able to converse with them on a regular basis, they will get out in their own time. Share with them what you are learning, the old "jehovah" calendar, the anti-disfellowshipping awake, the un story and all the other strange small topics that start to pick up steam after a while.

  You cannot control what others do but do not allow them to shun you. Simple as that.

  Must the Elders Always be Told?

  by snugglebunny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recall that some years ago the wt stated that not all offences need to be reported to the elders, but that confessing serious sins to another person who was not an elder could suffice.

  the article stated that this did not include sexual offences and that these must be reported to the elders.. can anyone throw any light on this please?.

  this type of correspondence between a rank and file member and a governing body member is unheard of today.

  With that kind of organic questioning I do not see how someone could possibly remain a member for ANY reason. This kind of mental gymnastics is par for the course. I detest the incompetence these men stand for.

  The Walking Dead cocktail party reminds me of... me

  as fans of the walking dead know, our heros have found sanctuary (or have they) at alexandria, a seemingly normal safe zone from the walkers/rotters/etc.

  this past episode had rick's 'family' invited to a 'welcome to the community' cocktail party, hosted by deanna, the leader of the community.. having entered alexandria, we're starting to see the different levels of ptsd in our little group.

  rick, carol, and daryl trust no one.

  Simon... I completely agree with the feeling of not truly knowing how messed up your outlook is until you completely free yourself of the lifestyle.

  I believe the most difficult step is that of the unknown. I preach it to my family as much as possible. They may see that "some things are not as they should be" but they will never fully realize how perverse the life is until they are willing and able to rid themselves of it.
