JWs on campus

by Sarabethy in

friends

it's my first time on this site though i am no stranger in the ex-jw community.

i come to you now asking for your assistance in what to present to the dean of students at my university.. why am i meeting with dean of students, you may ask?

because today, while innocently finishing an assignment in the school library, i happened to look out the window and see the jws with their stupid little cart.

Ask some fellow students to come to the booth with you. The more the better.

Ask the Jws if their leaders teach the Jw members not to pursue a higher education or to attend college.

Bring a iPad and play this video to the Jws asking them if this man, Anthony Morris III and let it play infromt of them all.

Then be sure to encourage the students to share what they have learned and to share the video of their leader to all their friends so that they are aware of what this group teaches, that being to drop out of college. Here’s the link.

Looking for older article in Wtbts regarding “tigers teeth and claws” being designed for coconut husk removal.

by notjustyet in

i hope i’m not imagining this but jace not been able to find the source.

even looked deeply into jwfacts site and still can’t find it.

basically the way i remember it was there was a article trying to explain away the “teeth and claws” from a tiger that alluded to it being a meat eater from the beginning.

Thanks for the info.

I must have read it somewhere online as I don’t have a library to cross it over.

Anyone have a library and able to do some checking for me would be much appreciated. Thanks

The Jws might wonder “why does a tiger have those long teeth and claws if they didn’t eat meat. The Wtbts response was (unless I’m going crazy ha) that the teeth and claws of the tiger are perfect for removing the husk off of coconuts.

Anyone remeber this or know where or how to find the source, if it exist?

Thanks for any help.

A Little Direction Please

by Brian J in

i'm an active elder, cobe, just got home from the meeting where i handled the treasures part and concluded by announcing a friend of mine has been d/f,.....blah blah blah...and over the last year have woken up.

i simply cannot spill my guts to my wife and children as it would be family suicide.

i have zero desire to bash, spread my feelings, or become an "apostate".

Teach critical thinking skills using other topics such as buying a house, a car and any other "important decisions" in life.

Maybe then watch some of the Leah Remini show from last season and this one also. If you do this with her and they say something that parallels the WTBTS method of controlling members watch her body language to see if she responds to anything. Had a relative about 10 years old say "Wow,.. the Sea Org is like Bethel"

Its a very slow process as you have to make sure you don't set off a trip wire driving them back in deeper. Know when to back off and arguing isn't the way to get a person out of a cult,.. aka High Control Group. Use the Socratic method by asking questions that she will have to answer, if not out loud, to her self.

Welcome,.. embrace the word Apostate as its not what you think it is as the WTBTS wanted us to understand it. Its meaning is "changing ones belief" or something like that. Jesus would have been an apostate to the Jewish system.

I tried to argue with my wife initially and could see I was doing more damage than good so spent the money and had a telephone interview with Steven Hassan to figure out the correct way to help a person out. Money well spent as my family of 4 are out now.

Jesus and the "Two witness rule" and how the WTBTS thinks he feels about it.

Uninvited...again...

by Anders Andersen in

jw
friends

so a week or so ago we received an invitation for a jw friend's wedding anniversary party in the mail.it was addressed to 'the andersen family' (and not just mrs. andersen & baby andersen) which was pleasant of course, but not a huge surprise given the type of person who said friend is.. however, i already prepared myself to be uninvited after all.

some time ago, there was a congregation farewell party/get-together.to my surprise, i was invited too!

an elder specifically came over to my house to tell me.then some weeks later, he visited again, being terribly sorry but the invitation was revoked as the congregation got concerned over my possible presence.. with that debacle in mind, i wasn't surprised to receive a message from my friend 'hey are you at home?

My family and I had left back in 2011 and she had a family member getting married and I told my wife she will not be invited to the wedding. Initially she didn't receive an invitation so she called the mother of the girl getting married and asked if she was going to get one. (This is the short version, my wife asked in a very nice way, not demanding)

She said of course, it here but not mailed yet. So all is good. I reminded her that something will happen before it's all over.

Within a week of the wedding the bride to be asked to come over and talk and my wife and the girl went to talk in private and sure enough, was uninvited to the wedding due to "issues that may make the other guest uncomfortable and also her spiritual family would always be there for her even if her biological family wasn't etc"

The girl probably wanted my wife to be ther but I feel she was pressured to uninvited her as the arguments she used seemed above her and sounded like it was from higher up.

So wife is great about it and tells her she will always be here for her if she ever sees things differently etc etc.

Wife had previously told the bride to be that she wanted to purchase her a set of starter pots and pans etc for about 399.00 ish and that although now uninvited that she still would keep her word as she still loves her etc etc

Get this, after the uninvited the girl sends my wife a text with a link to a set of pots and pans for 500.00 + asking "What do you think about these?"

Wife said she thinks the 399.00 ones would work fine for her.

I asked her to give her a check, which she did, as I want to frame the check along with the revoked wedding invitation for reminders.

Wow,...
