I don't know if its just me, but I find the narrator's voice really annoying.
Is that even a real accent she and her "mother" have?

Jehovah's Witnesses - Emotional Blackmail - Fear Obligation Guilt
by JT-LadyC inafter leaving the jehovah’s witness religion, we had the opportunity to read emotional blackmail by susan forward, ph.d. we could relate to the stories she discusses in the book and could make a direct correlation to our lives as jehovah’s witnesses.
while the experiences are somewhat different from what we encountered in our personal lives, we could readily comprehend how individuals use emotional blackmail to make others develop fear, obligation and guilt in order to manipulate them into furthering their own agenda.this podcast explains in great detail how jehovah’s witnesses live in the fog.
no one can dispute these comments as every current and former witness is most familiar with the culture of the organization!this podcast references the experience of a sister that lived in an iron lung and her experience was used as a tool to measure the faith of jehovah’s witnesses with otherwise good health that did not live up to the daily demands of the watchtower.

After leaving what did you Major in?
by Luther bertrand ini am curious if my observations are correct.
i noticed alot of exjws end up majoring in the social sciences.
i am also interested in what educational choices people have made either while fading or while completely out.

My dream is to create a scholarship funded in large part by exjws for exjws. and create online resources so that those who are fading can get some help.
Love this idea!

Hiererchy among elders --so says Kenneth Flodin
by wannaexit inthere has always been a hierarchy among elders.
now it's been validated by kenneth flodin in this talk about the word "princes".
so not any elder can be a prince in the new order.

So. . . . .
Using Flodin's "garlic bread" analysis of human spirituality, would a "prince" be a thick slice of "Texas toast"?
Or perhaps a really nice Jewish Rye with butter?
Cinnamon rasin loaf?

I no longer feel smart as a JW, I feel dumb...
by thedepressedsoul ini don't want anyone to take this the wrong way but i use to at least feel smart as a jw.
when i went to thursday night meetings, i at least felt like i was a student, that i was learning how to speak publicly, i could prepare my own comments, i could answer points that i learned from the weekly bible reading.
i even feel like an "idiot" studying for the meetings.

I can appreciate the rant!
My wife feels similarly as you. Everything presented at the meetings is simplistic and dumbed down.
But I think you should feel smart, just for the fact you know this stuff is dumb! Others think it's thre greatest thing since sliced bread. . . .

Ok . . .
So I glanced at this thread briefly this afternoon. . .
WTF?
So, really now:
What would be the response if I shared News Update: Jehovah's Witnesses Moving Forward on my FB account with the caption "Watch this Telly-Award-winning piece featuring Donald Trump's son-in-law"?
Oh the cognitive dissonance . . . .. .

A Teenager Ran Away From Home to Get Away From the Witnesses ... in 1909
by Wild_Thing inokay .... i guess technically they weren't witnesses yet; they were just russellites.
but i still think it is funny that teenagers were heading for the hills to run away from their nonsense ... even back then!.
