Lies taught by the GB about ....Life, Worldy people & apostates
by williamhconley in
1. jw
2. experiences
the governing body not only lies to it's members about their true history but also about life itself, worldly people and former members.. here are some of those lies that come to my mind.. .

"jw's are the happiest people on earth" -.

fact: depression, anxiety, fear of punishment, paranoia, is what jw's live with every day.

Disfellowshipped daughter not told of father's death
by dozy in
1. jw
2. friends
my wife was informed by her father that an old jw friend had died so she decided to text his daughter ( who lives abroad & is disfellowshipped ) her condolences.

immediately the daughter phoned my wife in great anguish as she hadnt been informed that her father had died ( bearing in mind this event had happened 3 days previously.

) of course any chance that she might have had for coming over for the funeral had past.. her two brothers are elders and her sister is a regular pioneer but not one of them had thought to let their sister know.

Most Irritating Thing About The Jw's
by integ in

for me it is the smugness.

it's their inability and refusal to admit they are wrong....ever...even in the face of irrefutable evidence.

isn't pride a sin?

Another elder came and told me I'm not an apostate and no-one can judge me.
by Julia Orwell in

2. friends
i'll call him bear, like teddy bear because he's big and nice.

bear's the coboe, an intelligent but jittery man who suffers from a host of anxiety disorders.

he 'just happened' to be driving down my street after the group, and 'just happened' to notice i was at home, tending to some animals.
