New Cringe Worthy Music Video From July Broadcast
by JW_Rogue inthe song is supposedly about marveling at god's creation but instead includes over the top adoration of the elders, conventions, and family worship.
lol getting a brother who sounds like a wannabe josh groban only adds to the cheesiness.

The GB is really no different than the other churches re: christian song videos which resemble the Coca-Cola Bottling Company's 1971 "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" commercials. Since seeing this, it shows that this religion is a corporation/business, still influencing its members to move products for the hierarchy's profits!

Akid48=> I'm sorry regarding what you have to endure as a young person with parents in the BORG. (And you don't have to apologize for the length of your posting--If you look at many/various postings--including mine--they are very lengthy, and with/for good reasons.)
When it came to learning to play a musical instrument in middle school and high school, my sister, one of my closest cousins and myself had to sneak and take after-school classes because our programs/schedules did not originally accommodate this provision for us. Thank goodness the music teacher we had was very generous, in addition to the fact he said he had a distant cousin who was a JDub. He spoke as if he understood about the issue that the BORG had concerning extracurricular activities.
Now, I'm not trying to encourage you to become rebellious regarding your participation in the school band, but if it gets to the extent whereby you are not able to do so, I would encourage you to see if you can privately make an arrangement with your music teacher (or the band's faculty advisor) to allow you to continue practicing the tuba for a couple days after school. This is so that you will not lose your footing skill-wise with the instrument. Hopefully your instructor is an agreeable person, like mine back in the day was.
Furthermore, have you ever thought about learning an instrument of a small caliber, such as the guitar, violin, recorder (small flute), etc.? The reason why I'm asking is because I find, from my personal experience*, that these can be easily transported when you want to obtain lessons and still be able to enjoy playing music with these at your personal leisure. [*I was able to learn to play the piccolo and recorder, when I saw that it was difficult to play both the drums and flute during my senior year in high school. Now, that I am an older adult, working a lucrative full-time job, I was able to purchase these instruments and play them for my own personal enjoyment--and with no one from the BORG to tell we what to do!]
So, Akid48, give the above some thought. I would hate to see and hear that you have given up your dreams and desires because your parents are in actuality listening to a group of men who don't want anyone to enjoy LIFE!

JWs biggest problem is not doctrinal issues
by Chook init's biggest problems are associated with its lack of genuine love and concern for the rank& file.
the average person doesn't need a food critic to tell them their hamburger is shit, in the same manner the average person can discern kindness and love.
gbs fake love and concern is evident in the way head office deals with victims of sexual abuse by jw clergy.

@LongHairGirl=> I agree with your comment also; you're always on point.
Furthermore, I have noticed the very unfriendly/unaccommodating attitudes of special convention speakers from WHQ (no doubt Helpers) towards the R&F. When some of the R&F came over to congratulate and introduce themselves to them and their wives, these brothers and sisters were turned away. One speaker remarked that he was"really busy right now; will have to speak to you perhaps another time" and the like. These speakers acted as if the R&F was some sort of "botherment"/problem for any of the brothers and sisters to speak to them--and it's not like anyone was going to ask for their autograph or a selfie!. I've heard of famous celebrities at least giving some of their time to say hello to fans when he/she is traveling on a public street!
So, this is reason why fully indoctrinated/PIMI JWs are the way they are: They are fully following the way the GB and their Helpers act and not the way Jesus Christ acted when he was here on earth!

Also everyone, I'd like to add the YouTube videos of Marcus Vaughn (a.k.a. Wallkill Bethelite). What he endured and experienced while at Bethel is really astounding, showing what the GB really thinks about Jdubs in general, including those who give all of their energy and time to the BORG:

Very true and very sad. Even if a Jdub misses one (1) meeting--no matter what the circumstances are (i.e., family situations, secular employment, someone's death/passing, extreme fatigue, etc.)--some of the R&F, especially those with "privileges" will shun/ostracize he or she who had to skip a meeting.
This happened to me back in the day 30 years ago. I, with a couple of other sisters from another congregation, bumped into a Bethelite couple from the congregation I was associated at the time, at a well-known department store during a weekend. After I greeted them and was about to introduce them to my friends, they both showed a look of horror and ran from us (like a scene from a "Casper, The Friendly Ghost" cartoon!). The next week while out in field service I mentioned the above incident to a pioneer brother. He mentioned that this couple "believes in speaking only to the friends who never miss meetings, since they are there at 99.5% of the meetings!". I couldn't believe what I was hearing; they couldn't even wave at me--because I missed one (1) meeting!

Sexist Watchtower quote makes me so angry
by Phoebe injohn cedars latest youtube video refers to last weekend's wt study article which some have referred to on another thread but i am truly outraged at the continuing misogynist attitude toward women.
not only did that study article say if women have a family to care for it will stop them gossiping or meddling into other people's affairs, lloyd shares on his video a talk by sam herd from when he was a c.o in 1971.
(i hope he has since changed his opinion!

@Phoebe=> I like that you posted this John Cedar's most recent video. Excellent choice of topic on your part!
I can't believe that the BORG would state that single sisters, due to the fact that they are not married and bearing children would classify them as "gossipers and busybodies". A great number of people (male and female, young and old, regardless of race, financial status, geographical location--plus longevity in the BORG) gossip and talk about other people and their lifestyles (be it public or private). To categorize women as such is definitely misogynistic/sexist!
Also, the concern in the video is how these comments--though personal on the part of the GB, their Helpers and the Writing Committee--would affect the brothers' thoughts towards the sisters in the BORG. This may motivate ones with emotionally and mentally problems to have disrespect for sisters--on a verbal and, hopefully not, physically level. Even married brothers may feel that they can treat the single sisters in any way they so do feel (No true/Christ-like love here!).
If there is going to be an expose of in any shape/form/fashion about the BORG, I feel that this subject should included alongside the blood ban, child abuse, shunning, etc.

Instructions to remove old WT information from kh libraries
by Half banana ina pimo friend (physically in mentally out) has just informed me that the cult has decided that they want to suppress all old jw org information by removing bound volumes etc from kh libraries.. in reality, all through their history they have claimed divine "new light" as a means of changing uncomfortable doctrines.
this however would mean that new jws, or more likely these days young jws, will be prevented from seeing the old light which had been held up as divinely inspired truth in the past.. truth which would get you through big a and which if you didn't agree with would get you disfellowshipped.. anyone else heard of this?
what might be the reasons (if true) for removing the old wts?.

Hey, everyone, the GB don't want a lot of the new R&F to find out the real information about 1975--that they said about the Big A coming during that particular year; instead when it did not happen, the R&F at that time was blamed! They don't want people to think that they are liars. They really ain't fooling nobody!

A disturbing reaction.
by longgone inearlier today i was listening to a you tube video about brain plasticity, how our minds aren't hardwired, and that by changing the way we think it can make actual physical changes in the brain.
which is cool for many reasons.
one in particular for me and likely any ex jw is that the way the wts has programmed us, especially those born in, can eventually get past it.

@longgone: I wonder if you are referring to Daniel Amen, MD and his wife, Tana Amen, BSN, RN. They recently conducted a forum program on WLIW21 (a Long Island, New York PBS station) speaking about the human brain and its function, particularly what humans can do to get their gray matter to work healthily.
However, there is one portion of the program which Nurse Amen pointed out, which is of great interest--and I found to be no doubt true re: JWs=> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-7tySYyytE
What Jdubs are doing for the BORG has affected and is still affecting their brain activity. I'm pretty certain that the healing process starts when one wakes up to TTATT. From that point onward, a person can engage in having a more broader outlook concerning various topics, situations, etc. and do whatever he/she can to have a happier, healthier life.

Jw mummies boys
by purrpurr ini've had the misfortune to encounter quite a few mummies boys in the cult.
men aged 20-40 who although in men's bodies think,act and behave like children.
their mother's had them tied to the apron strings tightly.

@purrpurr: Thanks for posting this thread. Your description is fully correct about these brothers.
@LongHairGirl: You are right on point!
My ex-fiance (as posted in one of my past threads) now acts and speaks that way, especially and particularly since he has been in full association with his uncle and the Bethelite brother (I heard he is now either at Warwick or Wallkill, since Brooklyn is no longer in operation) whom were instrumental in our breakup. My ex, not only acts strange to me and some of my family members when we once met up with him and one of his siblings, but also he was laughed at by strangers when he spoke briefly in passing.
Jdubs are indoctrinated, taught and trained to "act like children". So, some have not matured emotionally or even mentally to conduct themselves as adults. Heck, a young brother age 26 in a my family's friend's congregation was seen physically running after and tag-playing with 3 children and 2 preteens like a school-age child--in my family friend's Hall's parking lot on a Sunday afternoon! Go figure!
