  This week's resurrection video, will it backfire on the wt?

  by prologos in

  the resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!

  --well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.

  a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.

  One of my childhood friends whose mom died about 6 or 7 years ago, which was a couple of years after my own mom had died, put up a post on fb about how emotional the meeting was this week and she couldn't wait until death was swallowed up forever. Apparently the theme of the entire meeting was death and resurrection and the big climax was that resurrection video from a year or 2 ago. I think it's a cruel play on emotions to remind members of their teaching that they have to stay in the org. if they want to see their loved ones again. It's pretty sickening really to do that to people.

  I personally had no reaction to the video at the time, but everyone around me had their tissues out and wiping their eyes. Manipulation at its best.

  JW Hypocrisy Rears It's Ugly Head...As Usual

  by babygirl30 in

  so about last night.... i am out at a local club (not restaurant, not event venue - a club) to see a rap concert.

  now, i am with some friends minding my own business, and i find that i am standing right behind 3 active jw's - one of whom used to be my best friend.

  this girl is as fake as they come: 1) she used to live with me and would bring non-jw guys home all the time, 2) was living with a man when she lived down south - until he dumped her, and then she decided to go back to jw's the 1st time and got reproved, and i supported her.

  I feel you babygirl30, same here on my end. My so called childhood bestie of over 30 years dropped me so fast when I told her my decision to leave the org. Similarly, I have been the only one there for her through a lot when no one else was, including saving her from 2 abusive and controlling relationships. But that is all forgotten just because I don't share her beliefs anymore. And I'm not even df'd, just walked away. I'm at peace with it now though. I don't want anyone in my life who doesn't want to be.

  my name is christian and my wife is katja, and we have been out of the organization for a year and a half.

  we were both regular pioneers and i was a ministerial servant.

  we were very much happy to be witnesses and doing our best to do more for the organization.

  Hello and welcome!! Your videos are great and I love your experiences. We too were born-in and fairly new out, a little under a year. We walked away, but are being shunned by our friends and some family. But we couldn't be happier to be out and fully enjoy our lives and know I our boys will be able to do the same. Congrats to you both.

  wow this is interesting!

  i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.

  they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

  Freddo - no chance this was someone trying to wake up. If I revealed to rest of the emails he sent me it would be obvious. Trust me.

  shirleyW - yes, it was very obvious!! But I'm not into ducking and dodging questions. And I really don't have an issue letting people know I'm not going anymore if they ask. I just don't think they need every little detail. He asked, I let him know exactly what I wanted him to know and cut it off when he started to be disrespectful.

  Exactly ToesUp. I think it upset him when I said it wasn't a discussion. No discussion = no opportunity to convince/guilt me into going back.
