  i ran into an inactive jw at a department store last night and we talked for 20 minutes easily, it was actually pretty fruitful.

  so here's what happened:.

  i see him and recognized him but he didn't know who i was at first as he hasn't seen me in at least a year and i've lost weight, have a goatee and dress way more awesome than i ever did as a dubb schlubb.. so i said hi to him by name and he says, who are you i'm not sure?

  The article was a crack up, and the comments were good too.

  Some JW Apologists trying to defend the indefensible on there too!

  @ gma-tired2:

  So true. I was told I would never grow old in this system, and that I wouldn't even get out of high school!

  @ SD-7 said:

  your presence out there actually says nothing at all to observers, because they have no idea what you are out there for if they don't know what your message is. Right? Ask anyone on the street what JWs believe, and what'll you probably hear? 'They don't celebrate birthdays', 'they don't take blood'--that'll be the majority of answers you get, but unless it's someone who actually studied with them a lot, you probably won't be hearing 'they preach the good news of the kingdom', that's for sure. Whenever your rules are better known than your message, you can consider your efforts to be a massive failure.

  Such a good point- the average person knows NOTHING about how destructive the theology and policies of JWs are.

  Well done informative video of how the Watchtower Corporation psychologically damages people in its intent to control and exploit

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this youtube video put out by a once member of the jws, goes into concise detail the extraneous efforts the watchtower corporation intentionally goes into luring people into their organization to only exploit them as its own controlled and subservient sales representatives for their publishing empire.

  its a bit long to watch in both parts, it might be a good idea to just not watch it but rather listen to the audio portion alone.

  as the video plays along, how many points does this guy hit the nail on the head as to correctly identifying what is really happening and going on in this religious corporate hybrid organization ?.

  So many of these would benefit from transcripts!

  It's also interesting how several JW Apologists are commenting on his vids also. That resonates with me since I have been getting a lot of these ones on my blog and YT channel lately:

  good morning jwn-land.. since my parents and my husband and i have learned ttatt we have been keeping quiet, mostly.

  we have held off on revealing our true names, my dad has held off joining jwn and telling his story because we have been waiting for one special event.

  my dad talking to his mother about ttatt.

  GoJira you are not alone and there are A LOT OF US that are praying for you and sending out the good vibes. That also goes for hubby as well.

  Grandma's true colors are showing and it's sad that her form of worship of so ritualistic- it's such a pity.

  Good news may be in the cards for her (lol pun intended) and it definitely is for you as you are awake to TTATT and are getting out of the mindset.

  Amen to that!

  Recorded Judicial Meeting by 19 year old

  Yes there was some ulterior motives in his recording these. Don't we all have a few of those lol?? And his videos and his behavior are not perfect.

  Yet the WT Corps are destroying families and killing people through their blood policies. It's also allowing pedophiles to mix with families and children in its congregations and molest some of them, and it gains these perverts respect due to the elders hiding their pasts from everyone in the KH, even if they are done molesting.

  Does that merit more of these videos? Does it justify more recordings of their "secret inquiries?"

  I say YES! Yo dice Si se puede! (Just felt like busting out my iffy Spanish...)

  This fellow should be applauded as he has added yet another brick in the wall against this harmful cult!

  Is this website an official website for the WTB$?

  Sadly, watchtowerinformationservice like so many other dissident JW sites has been rated "dangerous" by WOT due to JW apologists and their sandbagging techniques.

  Those of you that want to help, please get a Web of Trust account and then rate the site positively, along with this one and all the other great ones like JWFacts, JWSurvey, JWStruggle, Watchtower Documents, etc.

  If we don't do that then many that stumble onto these will see a warning and will almost certainly click away.

  Creative Revenge

  i love this topic.... stole it from a female talk radio host dr. sonia freeman in the chicago area decades ago.

  think and post a creative (not damaging, violent, or illegal) action that would piss off those who shun us.

  here is an example: many years ago when my hubby was still an elder he collected the mail for the kh.

  Roberta this is an interesting notion...Nearly all of us have had dreams of seeking revenge on our former captors, Watchtower Inc.!
