Is a born-in brought up in a JW home like being a child inmate being raised in prison?
by Still Totally ADD ini bring up this subject because of all the restrictions children have to endure in the jw cult.
they are made prisoners of mind and body.
being forced to do things that are not natural for children to do.

It's true for many of the JW children, they miss out on a lot growing up in such a strict household. Holidays and being with their extended, non Witness family is very unfortunate. But many of the young people seemed to do a good job leading a double life at the hall I attended before walking away. So I'm not sure they missed out on much when it comes to sex and drugs. I was only an elder for a little over a year but I became very critical of the teenagers at the hall. It seemed that most were doing "bad things" that makes their deity sad.
Made for many a late night after meetings.π

"Don't Give Up" LOL every time!!πππ
I keep thinking it's a joke but it's not.
Either way the step by step instruction as commented on by others is ridiculous. They are specifically told how to watch the music videos, where and when to sit. It gives a new meaning to "whitewashed graves". They are all about appearance.

How Far Up The Ladder Did You Go In JW Land?

Auxiliary Pioneering on and off after graduation. MS for a few years then almost fell away.
Then came back strong. Became an MS again after years of hard work, then Elder for about two years. Woke up. Left. Took wife along for the ride after being stood up for dinner by some "friends." Never have regretted a moment since. This IS the best life ever...... not being a j-dumb.

What would happen in the resurrection
by Anony Mous inwe all know the jw doctrine of life and resurrection on earth after armageddon.
this video inadvertently explores the flaws in the doctrine.

One of the elders at my old hall rationalize the flood of people coming out of the resurrection with space travel. He even figured Jehovah would create another planet earth to aid in the population explosion. Silly.

Couldn't get past the "Have you already been to the convention?" question. π
Looking at the Bible story book I was mildly impressed that they removed all the nightmare inducing graphic imagery that is prominent in other children's books published by them.

Im "Going To Die In Armageddon"
by pale.emperor in3 missed calls from my jw brother last night.
i didnt answer because he's actively shunning me and when he does ring it always to preach to me about how we're so close to the end and how i should "humble myself before the mighty hand of god" .
he then texts me saying "we need to talk".

They are the ones that are going to be afraid. In their "paradise", Jehovah will be randomly killing anyone with a critical thought. They will live eternity in fear of their storm deity hoping he doesn't wake up on the wrong side of the bed.

2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure
by pale.emperor inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go3arnnsfkk&feature=youtu.be.
no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.
instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

I remember running into a bum out in service who talked about Watchtowers 1975 fiasco. The elder I was with quickly blamed that man for leaving the organization because "he put his trust in dates rather than Jehovah." The elder wasn't serving the Borg during the "stay alive till 75" ordeal. Watchtower must have quickly even back then shifted blame to the congregants.
