  I will def keep an eye on it for that specific reason.

  Although I am a known apostate in my area so I might get a few "return to jehovah" tracts

  Jehovah's Witness Teens 13 and 10 Commit Suicide in Wisconsin

  by Tenacious in

  2. scandals

  i found the following story while researching the jw mindset and subsequent behavior due to their weekly exposure to mind control techniques.

  the story is a bit old but it does speak volumes in terms of the mental anguish the average jw teen must endure as a jw.

  links to website and original newspaper follow:.

  That happened in Phillips WI. I think there is a youtube video floating around on the incident. If I am not mistaken there were suspicious circumstances surrounding that story as well.

  I love the area but it is the definition of a closed off small town USA. Harbor View has great fish fry!

  Here is a link to the general story.... The detective closed the case abruptly as a double suicide.

  I dont understand all the fear. This man can litterally do NOTHING to you. If YOU dont want to go then dont go. Get a free meal, maybe a beer or two out if it.

  Obviously you are your own person. If he brings something up you dont want to talk about then tell him its none of his business. Go, or dont go but dont cower in fear to him.

  The "walking on eggshells" mentallity is what allows the dubs to keep the control. I do understand that people want to stay in for family or any other number of reasons but at the end of the day, if you shrink yourself for family or friends you are only hurting yourself and as in indirect consequence, helping to keep the jdub bubble strong. Break the bubble!!

  Just in time for Memorial season...

  by OutsiderLookingIn in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is short and quick but maybe it's a seed to plant in the 10 days until the memorial.

  i have talked to jws who tell me their reason for not eating the bread and drinking the cup is because that was only a new covenant with his disciples (and in their wonky extension, the 144,000).

  but i just thought of a few things.

  Those are excellent points.

  Right before my kids have to go to the memorial with their mother I always ask them "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?... Who should you listen to?"

  If you are a christian and beleive the bible holds any weight, those two questions pretty much destroy any credence to the "sit and pass" mentality of the dubs.

  Three years old? All you need to do is say Ok, lets be gods friend.

  Who gave you those legs? Jehovah? ok lets sign up for soccer!

  Who gave you your brain? Jehovah? ok lets sign up for girl/boy scouts!

  Who gave you all those friends in kindergarten? Jehovah? lets have a sleepover!!

  Who gave you to me? Jehovah? Lets celebrate your birthday with all those friends from boy/girl scouts and kindergarten and we can even play soccer at your party!!!

  Dont overcomplicate it. Do not go negative. Get your kids involved and break the bubble that the dubs create. Its not that difficult but you cannot be a fader! I was a born in and have two tweens that have been raised in the church by their mother. One just moved in with me full time and the other is loving sports and all her "worldly friends"

  have you heard about the eye of horus?

  The eye of horus is a man made symbol. The Freemasons use lots of man made symbols. The naked human body is a naked human body but i suppose it could be a symbol for..... whatever you want to make it a symbol for. Any "promised thing" in the bible or koran or the cat in the hat is a man made symbol.

  Dont take any of it too seriously
