i thought this video was pretty well done and mildly entertaining to watch.. on another note, i am really hoping some clever ex-jws will do their own animation series with caleb and sophia as young adults trying to leave the org.
that would be awesome.
caleb and sophia ... the ex-jw years.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lwoitxaa_u.
And look at their facial expressions: Sophie looks scared and Caleb looks like he is in agony!
I could definitely sympathize with these two kids. Also, the Borg shows their parents (and unfortunately, they had their mom looking like she is the baddie/villaness) always on these twos' cases about everything from soup to nuts!
Damn, that's why so many folks have woken up and left this corporation--hopefully many more will do the same!
made a visit to warwick recently.
i’ll try to get some pics posted..
Also, unlike Brooklyn, there is no formal area in which visitors can come to dine: There is a room on the main floor with a few tables and chairs where--wait for it--visitors can bring in their own food and beverages! There is NO provision for it, like it was in Brooklyn (or at Walkill, etc.). In fact, on a trip I went on sometime ago, the R&F transported the catered food and drink on the vehicles they drove!
The Bethel Family members can come in to greet and have small talk with any visitors/tourists, but they were not able to sit and dine with them. I was informed that only those persons from the outside who do eat with the members of the Family have to be reserved in advanced (i.e., a sister who is engaged to a brother and the like).
All in all, it seems as if the GB doesn't want Bethelites to have real friendly connections with the R&F. On the other hand, the GB has "provided" in the lobby, at all four corners, ATMs for donations--these do not give anyone back any money;these just take it, as damn usual.
Ah, Warwitch--JWs Disneyland!
lloyd evans (a.k.a.
"john cedar") just interviewed mike rinder (ex-scientologist) on his youtube channel very recently.
here's the link below.
Lloyd Evans (a.k.a. "John Cedar") just interviewed Mike Rinder (ex-Scientologist) on his Youtube channel very recently. Here's the link below. Any thoughts?
as the lawsuits continue to increase world wide against the watchtower corporation and it's branches,, things could get very dire for the governing body to plea bargin for a lighter sentence and so turn over crucial evidence against their fellow f&dss, technically beat their fellow slave and what not.. now i know a lot of you will be thinking: "what on earth could lead to the gb blowing the whistle on fellow his fellow gbs?
" i think that a legitimate question and offer no answer but just use your imagination as if this thing led them to make a run to the opposition to rat on others to get a lighter sentence.. hey i'm thinking about man's powerful desire to save one's own skin at the expense of his loyal companion..
@scratchme=> This!
Plus, Tight-Pants Tomo, Splane, Losch, and Herd look like they would throw Jackson, Sanderson, and especially Lett under any bus, plane, train and automobile!
i was baptized 30 years ago and have been in the faith for over 35 years.. our organization isn't perfect.
but i'm sick to death of seeing stereotypes about us.
we are not mindless automatons.
Hey everyone; why is this ja-moeker being welcomed to the forum? IMVHO, I believe that he is not only a troll, but a "poster" who posted his comment to see what type of reactions could get from us members. I call BULLS^*T re: this guy!
i am sitting here, so utterly bored and waiting for this day to be over.
so i'm starting a new topic that probably has been done a thousand times but hey, i'm fairly new here.
humor me :).
Phoebe and everyone here--I know how you all feel, for I also experienced the same myself in the past.
What really pisses me off is how the GB and their helpers have pressured the R&F to go in field circus to "convince" other people not to have and give up their happy celebrations/belief systems for a belief system of doom and gloom plus sadness and depression. I hated going out from door to door in the friggin' cold to tell other people lies--I bet the GB and their helpers were up in their rooms at Bethel in Brooklyn Heights, warm/comfy/cozy without a care in the world on that day (at Warwitch, too)!
They don't care what they have done to families, particularly to children. Heartless bastards (I'm getting out of this 💩 !)!!!!!!!!!
this is my first post on here so i apologize that it is like an essay!.
my husband and i are currently 'fading out' of the truth.
we stopped preaching in may 2016 and limited meeting attendance in january 2017 and stopped completely in june 2017. my main reason for this was my whole life i have been doing things to please others, even getting baptized to please my mum.
Hi, Emily and welcome, welcome!
I can empathize with you, for I am in the process of fading as well. Your so-called friend ratted on you and your family because she is in a "FOG": Fear-Obligation-Guilt. Many PIMI dubs are being controlled and this is one of the unfortunate affects from their indoctrination.
I agree with what all of the other posters are saying/advising. You will really find that life outside of the BORG is worth living and you and your family can find happiness away from the GB and their death-dealing bullshit!
hiya, firstly i’m new to this website, so sorry if this topic has been covered before.
i have been out of “the truth” for almost one year.
i live with my non-witness mother, have an amazing boyfriend, work and am in college.
Hi, KindEyes. Welcome to the Forum.
I found that The Learning Annex has various classes with a variety of subjects (such as: real estate, home/interior design, music, arts and crafts, culinary, how to build your own business, tips on traveling domestically/internationally, etc.) can be a great way to meet other people. Some people I know (both ex-jw and jw) have had success via this. You can check them out at: http://www2.learningannex.com/ or http://www2.learningannex.com/default.taf?cat=about_us&aboutsect=contact
we all know the gb like to impose rules upon the rules... but did anyone else out there have parents that implemented rules upon those rules?
mine did.
my mum tended to copy whatever the elders wives were doing and took it to the extreme.
Pierced ears ["Lookin' like Jezebel"];
Star Trek ["Mr. Spock looks like the Devil" (like one knows what the devil really looks like)];
Cereals such as 'Lucky Charms', 'Boo Berry', 'Franken Berry' and 'Count Chocula';
Most disco songs;
Playing musical instruments [especially if we weren't going to play the Kingdom Melodies];
Exercise/physical fitness [hearing the reiteration of the scripture re: "bodily training. . . . . "];
Bowling and other group sports [i.e., volleyball, softball, handball, etc. ("the spirit of competition. . . .")];
Arts and crafts [i.e., painting, sewing, crocheting, knitting, etc. One older brother told my parents that "children should spend more time studying the scriptures than doing that stuff. That stuff you can do in the new system!"];
Checking out various fashion magazines;
and oh so much damn more--makes me sick to see how the BORG is most boring/deadly org there is!
