  I always want to ask the people in the congregation I left...

  "So how old would your grandkids have to be before it was OK to wonder if the WT is right?"

  When is the last time you saw an educated middle class family become Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we know from casual observation that if anybody does respond to their preaching/recruiting work it is usually someone that is a social misfit in some way or a person that was indoctrinated early in life.. think about all the nicer neighborhoods witnesses preach in.

  if a family of four with a father that is an engineer and a mother who is a medical professional ever walked into a kingdom hall for the first time and said they were studying, people would faint.

  lol.... this of course isn't what you would expect from a religion backed by the ultimate intelligent creator.

  JW Rumor: End of the Traveling Overseer

  by Edison Trent in

  2. scandals

  a friend of mine has contacts to a family with several circuit overseers and special pioneers.

  they have good connections to bethel.. he told me that the latest rumor from bethel states that the cos should be abolished in their present form.

  they have also recently begun to take cos back to bethel.. over the same channel i have already heard of the car fleet program and that the dos should be abolished.. has anyone else already heard of it?

  I have a hard time believing this.
  COs are the GREATEST CONTROL over the Elders and the Congregations.
  The WT need them to keep everyone in line.

  They are also the INSULATION legally now between the congregations and the elders.

  Also, they are needed for the assemblies.

  Never gonna happen.

  Waking up to TTATT: Blessing or Curse?

  by Jules Saturn in

  if you take the red pill, you'll have knowledge, you'll be awakened, aware of reality, you'll have freedom.. if you take the blue pill, you stay in your bubble, wearing rose colored glasses, and feel security in an illusion.. taking the red pill isn't something that's easy to do.

  to accept that everything around you is an illusion built up on lies or half truths.

  but hey, it might feel good to be aware and break free from this illusion.

  Thank you Diogenesister

  That is very nice of you.
  It is hard enough dealing with the fallout you know will happen and the things you can see could happen.

  But when something completely unexpected and as close to home as possible happens, it is like a knife in the heart. The losses are multiplied.

  JW Stream congregation meetings

  by neat blue dog in

  2. beliefs

  last october if i'm not mistaken, wifi bandit leaked a letter which mentioned not only recordings of regional and circuit assemblies, (which he uploaded to youtube), but also recordings of congregation meetings, which the letter said would only be online for one week each.

  unless i missed it, none of these have been leaked as of yet.

  has anyone seen or heard of this?.

  Reg pill is very hard. I have some unexpected and life changing fallout that came about it. Very painful loosing your friends and identity as well.

  I had so much invested, and I am older, so not like you can start over completely .

  BUT - when I woke up - meetings made me literally sick, could not fake if.

  The RED pill was needed especially because of my Kids, They are young and I HAD to get them out of the cult before their lives were ruined, at any cost.

  And the cost is high.

  Yes!

  And a total bullshit situation came up that made it much easier to get out and have elders not bother be because they felt they stumbled me and were cowards to try and fix it.

  Situation: A brother who has pioneered for a number of years faces financial difficulties and becomes discouraged. He begins to wonder what his life could have been if he had pursued higher education and obtained a well-paying job?

  Ahhh - he would be happier and have some security and satisfaction in his life!

  A "Three-fold cord"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know of the well used scripture that speaks of "a three-fold cord" in marriage.. sure, it is meant to indicate that any marriage that has "god" in it as the foundation of the couple's life will be successful.

  but how often have we noticed that what it really means for witnesses is that the society, or the gb has the right to be an unwelcome and nosey intruder in the lives of couples.

  every decision that family unit makes is influenced by the organisation.

  I used it in a wedding talk in a good way I think.

  I used it as the 3rd cord is your love of god, and that when things get very hard in a couples relationship that the 3rd cord, the responsibility you feel to god, would slow things down from getting really bad and give you time before you give up on it.

  I think there is truth in that, some people do give up fast.
