Crisis of conscience..
a watchtower exec locates you and asks you fill a position in brookyln.
he thinks that the leaders at the top have lost touch with the "people" and are assembling a team to covertly try to change the "jw culture" to be less rigid.
what would be your reply and why?.
Yes
new study book
Crisis of conscience..
the above mentioned article caught my eye for a couple of reasons .
.. it is obvious to most observers that the children of active jw's provide a potential "large army" and in spite of the attrition rate of jw youths (around 2/3's i believe), it's a resource the borg are keen to maximise.
there tactics appear to be encouraging baptism at an ever younger age.
what is the youngest disoed child ?
When they are charged for child abuse
youths will not get baptised
if you just want the juicy details where i leave, i'll make disclaimer where it begins, if you just want to know what happened with the elders and organization after i realized it wasn't true, i'll mark that seperately.
we didn't do jack shit in service, or in the congregation.
maybe this was how jehovah came about?
Hello and welcome
nice to meet you to..
even if you're got one foot in the grave, you'd better be working your ass off (for free) for the slave.. if you're feeling stressed, stop everything else in your life and concentrate on the meetings and ministry because those could never be the cause of stress.
oh no.
it's probably all those pesky holidays and recreation stressing you out.. now, can we all spell c.u.l.t?.
once upon a time
new here; this is my first post.
i signed up with the hope of getting some of your thoughts regarding how to proceed with an ongoing situation.
a little background: i have been baptized for about twenty years, or is it twenty-one, i can't recall.
sit on fence
not for ever only till you die
looking back on my life i just have to wonder: what was i thinking?!.
how did i get involved with a religious cult in the first place???.
i am embarassed, frankly!.
I could never join a cult
I am too smart for that
had a patient that was a study... need i say more.
does anyone like the new song book ?
well i am new to this, and i must admit that at first i was very opposed to this site.
i grew up being a witness and was warned about looking into apostate things, which is exactly what this site would be that they are referring to.
i always tried to live my life the best that i could under the societys control, and never really got to have any life experiance at all.
Hello and welcome
I was always judged as weak etc.
read CoC
i know that in religions, they do what they do because it is about politics and money.
those are the motives behind why religions are the way they are and do what they do.
but can someone tell me what would be the motive(s) of jw's lieing and controling their participants (for lack of a better word)?

i have lurked here literally for years and, finally, i got up the nerve to say hello 'officially' so, hello!.
i left the borg in '97, i'm the youngest in my family of all dubs.
i was pretty much born-in as i believe i was around 2yrs old when my parents began their transition from independent thinkers to borgs.
Hello and welcome
