  ok ,so this is my story , this jw girl came on vacation in my country as a friend of my girl-cousin who is not a jw but were classmates at uni .

  my cousin introduced her to me but she didnt tell me that she was a jw from the very first moment we flirt each other.we went on beach ,on bars ,cafes etc and she acted so wordly ,in fact i thought she could be a good one night stand with her behaviour .never saw anything weird about her that could lead me to question something, with the peak in the club where we danced together while hugging very passionatly .

  i tried to kiss her that night but she kept her distance , i didnt notice any bad on that.anyway, next day we flirt again at the the beach and at night too .

  Why WTBTS Disfellowshipping Works...

  by AGuest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!.

  i just wanted to share with you, briefly, what i have come to understand as to why disfellowshipping by the wtbts works... why it can continue being fomented as it is.

  i realize there are pages and pages of studies regarding cults and cult mindsets, etc., but i am not going to inundate you with such but rather try to keep this simple.

  Chapter 11 of Ray Franz' In Search of Christian Freedom is called "The Misuse of Disfellowshiping." It has a section called "Inflexible Enforcement of Organizational Law." Here's the start of that section:

  The manner in which elders apply Watch Tower policies clearly
  shows that they do indeed view them as law. The inflexible attitude
  produced—or, at the very least, condoned—by the organizational
  headquarters causes elders to view neither circumstance, age,
  health, years of association, nor any such factor as affecting the
  requirement of full compliance with all organizational rules, full
  acceptance of all its teachings.

  Many members similarly just go along.

  I think the above sums it up, no need to be bogged down on the "whys and reasons" It's a plan simple method of "CONTROL" over the general R&F JW population. Look, the Scientologists, do the SAME thing. It's a way to get all your ROBOTS working and fearing the in the EXACT same manner. And if you do not "tow the line" with the WTBTS on the same EVERCHANGING ideas, you can be Gone gone gone and there is nothing you can do.

  So you have to ask yourself, if JESUS was running the WTBTS, would he act in such a TOTALITARIAN manner? Heck no, he would not. This type of action(s) - D'a or D'f ing does not come from the 1st Century, but comes from early PRotestant religions from only a few years ago. It's like the old saying. "if you aren't for me, your are against me". Purley created for CONTROL

  And the "ME" being the New and improved FDS.

  Just think about it - Mind Control, a pleasant way to start your day,

  Now go out and make something good happen!

  Great Show last night by Brian Williams on RockCenter

  brilliant expose on scientology.

  in many instances you can submit "jw" in place of their title.

  however luckily the wtbts is bad, but not "as bad".

  CLOUD ATLAS: a movie or a life experience?

  by Terry in

  2. entertainment

  my 19 year old daughter lily and i attended the opening day of cloud atlas.. .

  i would suggest you watch this little "overview" before continuing.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubk647t944a&feature=bfa&list=plvfin74qx3twq2dnqx5f4wlrrr5b-pez7.

  movies can be a lot of things ranging from mindless entertainment, spectacle, diversion, exploitation and such to straight storytelling.. what movies almost never are is what cloud atlas is.. what is it?.

  Jw;s like family

  by d in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering do you ever miss certain jw's?

  i mean not all but just some, becuase even though we may rant and rave against jw's at times.

  we have to remeber that for those that were born in the jw's theywere like family.which is why it is so hard at for me to let go completely.. although i have been out for about 5 yrs and it feels good.

  since leaving the wts i've struggled mightily to make friends and adjust socially.

  i would really like to find some people that i know and reconnect if any happen to be on here.

  so i'm going to reveal my name and ask that if you know me or our paths have crossed, please reach out to me.. i'm "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses" so why not?.

  Anyone Else See Les Miserables?

  by BizzyBee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i went to see it today - by myself (mr bee is on a golf junket).

  i was glad that that i was by myself because i cried so much at the end, i wouldn't have wanted to be with anyone who wasn't crying - and that would not have been mr bee!.

  les miserables the current film is adapted from what is considered one of the half-dozen greatest novels of the past 150 years and one of the longest novels ever written.

  I saw the play 3 times I think, can't remember as the last time fell asleep after intermission. The movie is supposedly good, but still sleeply style for me

  Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway I hear won GG Awards, so it may have some nice features on the BIG screen
