  The sly tactics the elders are using to malign my name!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have had it confirmed now, that since stopping attending over 18 months ago, the elders have set out to deliberately ruin my name and character .. they have been talking to every witness from the local area and saying things like "be careful of him, he has the ability to implant thoughts in your minds, and he only pretends to be kind and caring".

  so, all i have to say to them is, "bravo!

  if that is the method you want to employ, you have reached the very depths of bad behaviour!".

  Self Brainwashing

  so i would love to hear and make more comments here on how "self-brainwashing" is done in jehovah's witnesses and how it becomes a problem when trying to wake up our loved ones.leah remini was on bill maher's show on friday, feb. 17th.

  she had some great comments about things said on her series about scientology.

  one was how members are "self-brainwashing" because they spend some hours every day doing self-study.

  One of the turning point for me was when I whispered an answer to my then 5 year old granddaughter during the WT study so she could put up her hand and repeat the answer...it made me realize that the only difference for me was that I read the answer given in the magazine. Saying it in my own words still never made it my answer...

  Fancy becoming emotionally attached to a pair of Jeans...

  and it was with great sadness that today my favorite pair of dirty denim, armani jeans were thrown in the bin.

  they cost me £260 to purchase, and were value for money, as they were worn for many years and together we shared some wonderful occasions.they were stitched on numerous occasions, and loving repaired.

  but today, and to my wife's relief i finally binned my amani jeans.

  I have 2 items from my dad: a mechanic's ball hammer and a thermometer you hang in the shop as advertising. Both items are more than 50 years old and they remind me of how hard my dad worked to provide for our family.

  Rank & File Reaction to Leah Remini Series

  wife and i have watched the whole series and just finished episode 7 last night.

  personally, i am seeing a great deal more subtle and day to day similarities to watchtower than the obvious ones i already knew existed, ie shunning.

  very eye opening and heartbreaking, even more so than going clear in my mind.

  I agree with NikL. JW will see subtle differences as proof that they're not in a cult. For example, scientologists follow a leader while JWs are guided by a governing body...scientology is based on the writings of a man while JWs follow the bible (as if that book wasn't written by men). On the other hand they cannot see that the same kind of control is exercised by both cults such as not being allowed to question the doctrine, holding family members as hostages with the threat of disconection or the lifetime commitment to the cult.

  The JWs who don't believe JW doctrine

  by evilApostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to me it seems that there are a growing number of jws who reject a few to most doctrines of jws and yet still believe that they are in "jehovah's organisation.

  " i have come across quite a few who for example, reject the 1914 doctrine entirely and yet remain psuedo-jws.. take a look at this page: http://e-jw.org/index.php?threads/the-ultimate-generational-leap-rebuttal.2521/#post-21793.

  those are jws who reject 1914 and even the gb.

  The concept of "new light" creates the illusion of a higher being correcting the path of his people in due time. It doesn't matter for JWs not to have the correct understanding now because if they wait long enough things will be corrected and in their view no other religion benefit from such divine adjustments.

  OK who threw the stink bomb in here?

  come on a believer, everyone knows it was you so own up to it and teacher will not be cross!.

  this is exactly what seems to be happening, a believer runs in drops the stink bomb and runs out again...only to pear around the door when he/she deems it safe to do so.

  😅😅😅.

  A Believer...don't waste your time finding fault in other religions to validate that you have the truth. Have you ever considered that a false belief can be replaced by another false belief? That is what happened to my parents who replaced their belief in heaven and hell by the hope of surviving Armageddon and living forever in a paradise. My dad died 13 years ago and my mom is now 83 years old and she still believes the end is just around the corner. The WT religion is great at bait and switch or introducing new light...

  A Believer: A large army of foot soldiers under the power of all dedicated males...that need to covert their head when they need to pray in the presence of a 12 year old baptized male who is unable to. They can't even teach in the congregation even when they are more capable then their male counterparts.

  friday 16, december 2016. abc news: malcolm lee, 56, has been sentenced to three years, nine months jail for the attack on the woman, 80, at her home near lakes entrance in march.

  during a home massage, organised as a gift by the victim's daughter, lee touched, kissed and digitally raped the woman.

  he claimed he believed at the time it was consensual and she was enjoying it.

  ....he was remorseful so I guess he confessed at his judicial committee. Since he is shunned and his wife left him he must not have been repentant enough.

  A Believer: JW brag about the "spiritual paradise" they live in...such quality people are the brothers...In the end these events is proof that JWs are no different than people in the world outside of their Kingdom Halls.
