WT's Impact on Children

by Sea Breeze in

what is your opinion of the wt's impact on children?.

here, children get to connect the dots and see what will happen to you if you are disobedient.

.

During a video recently there was a YouTube’er that mentioned being raised as a witness caused an Armageddon-like feeling within themselves when things go wrong in life. As if God himself is punishing her.

Took her till adulthood to put this pieces together.

Being raised as a witness is tantamount to child abuse.

The born-in child can’t opt-out. They are forced into the cult and forced to rise in the ranks, depending on their parents.

Some even into adulthood are verbally abused by parents if the child decides to leave.

is it difficult to believe in a loving god?.

if yes, i understand you.

it has been difficult to me too.

“ Is it difficult to believe in a loving God?”

Yes. The whole Adam and Eve narrative makes no sense.

If my daughter makes a mistake, I’m not going to punish her future generations of children for it for all eternity.

Back to the Meetings------Back to Covid.

by pistolpete in

a lot of pimos are reporting that returning to the meetings is backfiring in that covid is spreading among the members returning.. post;.

so last saturday was my first meeting back in person and well it completely backfired.

last night i got a text from my group overseer saying that someone in the hall tested positive for covid and that we need to get tested(great 🎉).. honestly i kinda expected this.

My sister has been waiting for this for a long time. She keeps bringing it up and sending memes about going back.

She doesn’t know we stopped going to meetings 6 years ago. 😂😂

Poor Llyod

by notsurewheretogo in

look...i've had my beef with lloyd aka cedars and some of the stuff he says or does but equally i respect what he is trying to do and what he has achieved in terms of waking people up.. he intimated he had mental health issues years ago but his video today is brutal...i see pain in his eyes and he is suffering.

his family come first and the man needs to heal.. yes he has issues that many on here see but its not the man that is important but his work.. but the man needs time to heal mentally and i wish he does so.

he deserves that despite the feelings and things that have happened in the past with the exjw community.. he has done so much for the exjw community in general that i hope all give him a little clack and he returns.. if any of us did what he did we may be in the same boat but none of us do...see past the man and see his work but equally the man is suffering and it is pretty sad...i hope he gets better soon.

His videos were instrumental in helping my wife wake up from the cult.

If Ever GB Members Deserved To Be Thrown in Jail It's When ...

by smiddy3 in

it was when the governing body started to disfellow-ship jehovah`s witnesses from taking blood transfusions in an effort to save their lives .. resulting in many hundreds if not thousands of needless deaths of men women and children who by this coercion died from this doctrine.. and to this day they still go unpunished .

.

My micro preemie daughter required multiple transfusions over the 78 days she was in NICU.

We asked the nurse what would have happened if we denied her those life saving transfusions and she said that the courts would have taken her from us.

Unfortunately by the time the legalities were done, it would have been too late.

JW parents need to realize that THEY ALONE made a dumb decision, not their child. That child deserves life. They can make that choice when they get old enough to understand the risks. (Hopefully they will be smarter than their parents😉)

you order something online, and get the notification it's been shipped.. "ooh look, it's only coming from 500 miles away and there's a major route from there to here.

i bet it'll be put on a truck or maybe a train and here in a day or two.

great!".

Anony Mous,

Thank you for the tips. Never knew any of that.

Great Teacher

I sold some collectibles on EBay last year and as soon as I made the label, Fed-Ex said that they had delivered. One was to Canada and the other across country in Cali.

Tried to track them and that was no use. Ended up telling the customers to just keep a look out because calling Fed Ex was a complete waste of time. They only know what they see on their computer.

I even asked them how something can go across the country in a matter of seconds and all they could say is that it was delivered.🤔

I wonder how many actually understood at baptism what would happen if they ever defected?

Unitarian Universalist: Anyone Familiar?

by Darkknight757 in

i hope you are all doing well.. has anyone had an encounter with a unitarian universalist?

my wife has a friend who invited us to their church a few years ago.

we never went lol.

Darkknight757

Smiddy,

That sounds like a nice idea from time to time, going somewhere on my own for a sip.

I’ve been trying to get out a little more which can be hard with a 4 yr old at home but the wife has her moms club for social stuff and I still have no outlet.

Church always sounded like a nice place to meet people but not really being religious anymore may make that kind of hard haha.
