are you reticent to express your opinion when it comes to religion or politics?.
when we were jws , we had to be so careful that we didn’t stumble anyone.
are you comfortable saying that you don’t agree with someone or something even if it appears you are in the minority?
I dare not reply. Forgive me!
a real conspiracy to destroy anti-cult miviludes in france.. therefore, a question arises that burns the lips of all our interlocutors: who wants the skin of the miviludes?
"this disintegration of the fight against cults is carried by occult influences, at the highest level of the state.
the miviludes disturbs, "says georges fenech.
If anyone out there is like me - and I know I am - then you may be wondering, "What the HELL is a Miviludes?
So, I consulted WIKIPEDIA, the intergalactic fountain of TRUTH...
"The MIVILUDES (a French acronym for Mission interministérielle de vigilance et de lutte contre les dérives sectaires, i.e. Interministerial Mission of Vigilance and Combat against Sectarian Aberrations) is a French government agency, created by Presidential decree in 2002. It is charged with observing and analyzing the phenomenon of sectarian movements (cults), coordinating the government response, informing the public about the risks arising from sectarian aberrations and facilitating the implementation of actions to aid the victims."
So there you have it. Seems to me like the French gov't wants to monitor minority religions.
Frankly, since I am in the USA, it is none of my bee's-wax (that's an American idiom for "business, or "biz-niss," as it is usually pronounces over here.)
Discuss, si-vous-plait...
what did you do with your jw literature when you left?
kept it, sold it or dumped it?
I dumped a LOT of stuff, then years later I bought a lot of it back for my "WT BS CDs" & "replica reprints" projects.
Those were fun times. The "replica reprints" are still on LULU, if anyone is interested (they're not).
so i'm cleaning out my garage, (i have about 100 boxes of watchtower/bible students related literature there).
i've been ebaying lots of my jw stuff, have no use for them.
it's crazy all the crap i collected over the years.
WOW. In '72 I was PIMI in NYC, but seeds of doubt were sprouting.
What knucklehead printed this? Where? How was it received?
well known norway elder and watchtower doctrine apologist, (rolf furuli) was disfellowshipped a few days ago for the crime of expressing opinions contrary to some watchtower dictates.. like wt leadership in the past, they have no problem eating their own..
Well, at least Furuli still has the resurrection. /*sarcasm: OFF*/
i went to have a look at the jw.
org website recently and i was asked if i would agree to accept cookies.
i don't remember being asked that in the past.
Cookies are now being served with the Memorial Whine.
this blog is worth mentioning again under a different title to attract more viewers.. former bethelite john bechtel who served 10 yrs at wt headquarters including the secretive and powerful service department, writes about his experiences and what woke him up.. https://www.johnbechtelblog.com/tag/jehovahs-witnesses/.
Chapter 5 can be located by clicking on the word "uncategorized" near the top-right of the page. It is:
i started dating a coworker who is a divorced jw.
found out he was disfellowshipped, and he was trying to figure out how to make things work.
i am not a jw, and his family is not supportive of the relationship.

Rhymes with "troll"? Not that that has EVER happened before... right?
the latest watchtower is now out and they make this statement -.
7 during the thousand year rule of christ, all of jehovah’s earthly children will have to make changes to please him.
so all of them will have true fellow feeling as they help the resurrected ones to combat sinful tendencies and to live by jehovah’s standards.
"During the Thousand Year Rule of Christ, all of Jehovah’s earthly children will have to make changes to please him..."
Uh oh.... here come the involuntary castrations!
