by menrov in

"Her words suggest................."

by RedPillPopper in

first time posting.

i've lurked for about 2 years.

30+yr convert.

My wife and I were studying the first chapter for the "Bible Study" this week and realized that basically the entire first chapter was dreamed up by one of the up and ups. Nothing of any spiritual value.

welcome!

The question Id like to have answered is, what happened to all the money local congregations sent to the wts when they dissolved the RBC?

Thing is people (myself included) are generally too lazy to look this crap up.

why do you think we are loaded down with waaaay too much "spiritual food"?

It's to keep people too busy to do the research.

The Psychological Manipulation of the Watchtower.

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

when someone interacts with you they can influence your thoughts and also manipulate your thinking.

i became aware that this is what i was doing with householders on the ministry.

we chipped away at householders with manipulation, and called it a return call.

Honestly that's what the wts encourages the bros to do. They have put an increased emphasis on getting people in the doors of the Kingdom Hall. By what you are saying I see why.

so sad..

Finally time to move on

by Bungi Bill in

i have finally reached the point where i can forget that i was ever involved with such a $!%* cult as jehovahs witnesses.

(a situation that has taken over 20 years to achieve).. this discussion board certainly helped in this process, and i want to thank everybody for their support over the time that i have been a member both of this site and the old www.jehovahs-witness.com website (where i used the acronym reefton jack).

it is now, though, time to move on with my life, so i will say my farewells to everybody.. bill .

Glad to hear that the people here and the support you received helped you.

Good luck and may your life be full of the happiness that you deserve!!

Need advice

by Darkknight757 in

hi.i've been pouring over this site for the past few days looking for some advice and i hope there is someone here that can help a guy out.

i'm desperate.....short bio: i came into the organization after high school and shortly after married a wonderful girl who was born-in.we have been happily married now for nearly 20 years and things were well until 2015 hit.

by the way, i currently serve as an elder and have the ""privilege"" of being the "watchtower overseer".. either here nor there, we were told we would never have children but late last year my wife became prego!!

Darkknight757

Without getting all sappy I have to say truly that the expressions from all of you have been 1000 times more encouraging than what we have received these last 6 months. Thank you for the kind thoughts.

Ive been pouring over jwfacts.com and am appalled but relieved too to see that my thoughts about the org have been correct.

Very interesting!!

"Take it from me go slow plant seeds of discontent and have your wife start taking herbs and suplements. My mother misscaried for years until she did this then she had my sister when she was over the age of 40"

Yea she is big into the herbs. She has chronic health issues but does surprisingly well. We are going to see a fertility Dr. and see what they suggest. She can become preg, just can't hold on to them. Probably auto-immune.

Either way I'll take the suggestions and keep lurking here for more advice/experiences.

This board has brought much relief already.
