It looks like something from a very early Watchtower publication.

This is how I felt as a child. This is how the kids feel now. This is sad. This is intimidation.

Family Reuinion and Being Disfellowshipped (sorry...but it's long)
by babygirl30 init has been a long looong time since i posted on here, but never ceased reading all the posts and keeping up on the changes that have been going on!
but it just seems that now i have a need to get something off my chest, and this is the one place that will most definitely understand the topic at hand.
i have been disfellowshipped for about 8yrs now, and have dealt with the 'consequences' of that decision: all my so-called friends in the org left and i was also abandoned by my own family.

babygirl-Thanks for sharing this sad story. I agree with ThisisMeAwake, send your aunts and uncles that clip from the RC. Or find some of the articles on disfellowshiping and share them. The truth will then be told.

There was a general layoff then. I meet 2 of the layoff-ees manning a cart on the beach in San Diego, CA. The man had been in Bethel for over 20 years. He was very proud of that fact and mentioned the layoffs as the reason he was no longer there. He wanted to make sure we knew that he had done no wrong-doing. He told us this while on the beach on a lovely day wearing a suit and tie and sitting next to a propaganda cart.

He really seems shocked and hurt. I feel bad for him. His points are completely valid.

When I first read about RTS, maybe a year ago, by this Doctor, it felt like all of my inner feelings and pain were being described. It was amazing to learn that other people feel the same way. Thanks for posting this thread.

An excellent, very civil debate between an atheist and a JW.
by Island Man ini stumbled upon this video while doing my periodic youtube search of the keyword "jehovah".
in the video a jw (actually two jws, but only one does most of the speaking) debate an atheist.
the atheist is a mild-mannered iranian who at first seems deceptively easy and clueless (i think it has to do with the fact that english is not his first language), but soon proves he's no walkover - calmly, mildly and civilly.

Interesting that he is an atheist considering his religious background. He must feel safe from ISIS!

How many JW Families do you know of who hate each other and shun each other? "Religion of Hatred" 1.a
by The1975Blues inwhen you were attending the kingdom halls did you see feuds and hate filled wars against members working on the new personality?
how strong were the elders in keeping their halls filled with love not hatred, jesus said everyone would be filled with love, there was no room for hatred in jesus christ's view of how christians ought to act!
when you see children shunning parents, parents shunning children, aunts, uncles, grandma and grandpas displaying qualities jesus said were "instant tickets to hell" why do the jws keep attending the meetings if their filled with hate?

There is a prominent family in the Poconos, Pennsylvania that sued each other in court over the farm land they owned jointly. The mother and one son suing the other son. It made the local paper. It was withing the last 15 years.
