They go as far as labelling "ambition" as something bad. Check out this page on their official site!

"CULTIVATE THE SPIRIT OF A LESSER ONE"
by braincleaned inaahhh... ya gotta hand it to the wts, they sure know how to mind-control the flock into getting them to follow unquestionably.
the nov. 25th watchtower is brilliant in encouraging the sheep to be even lesser than they already are!.
as they admit, "the greek word translated lesser one means someone who is modest, humble, lowly, insignificant, or of little esteem and influence.".

Indeed Satanus. THey have presumptuously placed themselves between Jesus and the sheep - with no scriptural basis for it at all. If God exists (which I doubt), they are in for some really bad punishment!!!

Aahhh... ya gotta hand it to the WTS, they sure know how to mind-control the flock into getting them to follow unquestionably. The Nov. 25th Watchtower is brilliant in encouraging the sheep to be even lesser than they already are!As they admit, "The Greek word translated “lesser one” means someone who is modest, humble, lowly, insignificant, or of little esteem and influence."Nice...Don't ever question; "One way to cultivate humility is to ponder over the greatness of Jehovah in comparison to us. Actually, “there is no searching out of his understanding.” (Isa. 40:28)" "Appreciating that it is beyond our ability to search out God’s ways ..."No need to study; “It is the realization that no matter how much we learn about Jehovah and the universe, there is still much more to discover.” "... he studied astrophysics and came to an important conclusion. He says: “Based on my studies, I came to realize that current scientific theories alone are not likely to enable man- kind to understand the universe completely." Ah! The crux of the issue: "The one behaving as a lesser one is “great,” or more valuable to Jehovah’s organization..."
Tell this to the molested children in the congregation: "The benefits of being humble and waiting on Jehovah are security and blessings, solace and satisfaction."
It's out there for all to see, yet, I can imagine these slaves to the Borg will nod their heads in approval, and keep their self-loathing going on. Sigh... it's a damn shame.

Looks like they yanked the video off the site. A little too late of course, because it went viral... guess they won't be doing that anymore. We still have Sparlock! :D

Thought Control (A simple test for JW's)
by TD inin george orwell's novel 'nineteen eighty-four' the capitulation of the principal protagonist is portrayed in his willingness to assent to the proposition that two and two make five.
once he had denied objective reality, his mental conquest was complete and he was no longer truly the master of his own mind.
nineteen eighty-four is in many ways, a very depressing read.. a charge commonly leveled at jehovah's witnesses is that the type of mind control envisioned by orwell has been and continues to be used on them.

Too long to read it all - and too late obviously. I'm just in awe of what Alice wrote! How disingenuous!!!
How deleting of her - the point being that the Society LIED on their claims before 1914.
Unbelievable.
She won't say anything peacedog... Too embarassed - hopefully.

The New Diary of Winston Smith
by WinstonSmith inwe had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.
fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.
i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

I had tears in my eyes. Your story is close to mine, except my wife didn't want to think, and broke our family up. Divorced me - it nearly killed me. I have 2 beautiful kids that do think! Whew!
All my best to you! I am considered inactive, as I tried to leave with some dignity, which is not in the JW schedule.
Today, I JUST posted on my facebook wall an anology between 1984 and the WTS. It is the first time I dared. Otherwise, I have been open about my atheism.
The truth will set you free... indeed!
Best! -

Bottom line - that elder is an asshole, albeit chosen by the Holy Spirit to serve. Ha! Indeed...

Again, don't panic. Don't let all the advice get to you either. Just figure out what is logic for you. Even DF'd you are still the dad, even by WTS standards.
And, as Tylinbrando suggested, DO keep record of all ou can (discreetly). You never know.
