  with the jw congregations about to be informed that the ubiquitous awake!

  are men more compliant than women

  by enoughisenough in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i watched a video once of men being trained ...it was a study.

  they had the men doing the most rediculous things-can't remember quite what now.

  so between that video, the letter to elders to keep their mouths shut about the koolaid, and to go along with the csa protocol, and what i will call insurance fraud by the jw, and who knows what other things the men in positions in the org go along with-these things prompt the question.

  Lee Marsh - “One theory (not proven) is that the men in most cults derive their status by the rules of the group.”

  Unsurprising.

  Human beings have been tribal for hundreds of thousands of years…

  …’cause for almost all that time, one’s survival was almost completely dependent on one’s status within their tribe.

  If JW men are more compliant than most, it’s because the Org has made a deliberate effort to divest itself of noncompliant men.

  The Saddest Thing About Tony Morris's Removal

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i've mentioned before how i've wondered how tony morris must have felt when he was sacked.

  yes, i know he's a rehensible human being who got served a healthy dose of karma, or, if you like, divine judgement.

  to go from having all there is to have within the world he lived in, to where he is now; that's a long fall.

  Which is why I didn’t think it was all that sad.

  shunning the congregation

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i was watching a youtube by jerome about religious freedom part 2. it was so disgusting to see the two jw testifying that instead of the congregation shunning those who disassociate, it is the person who disassociates that is choosing to shun the congregation.

  the commissioners kept asking why someone who had been sexually abused had to be shunned if they disassociated ....jdubs talked in circles and never answered the question.

  so glad i woke up and got out ...to support the org is a reproach to anything decent..

  NotFormer - “…’The World’ has higher standards of righteousness than they do…”

  For those on the way out, that realization always hits like a ton of bricks.

  stan livedeath - “…the watchtower can only survive with more bums on seats…”

  Membership numbers are not the Org’s problem…

  …money is.

  Re. stan livedeath‘s post…

  Sure, they can do all of that, and absolutely should, but where does that leave them?

  The kind of mainstream reform you’re describing basically eliminates all the unique things about the WTS that they held up as proof they had “The Truth”…

  …they’d be just another denomination among denominations.

  Take that line of thought to its inevitable conclusion, and the claim of “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization” becomes essentially nonexistent.

  At that point, where’s the incentive for any rank-and-filer to stay?

  Rattigan - “How are you calling 1914 wrong without replacing it with something that can be right?”

  Is there some rule that says it has to be replaced with anything?
