Crabby I think your argument is on point. I've always wondered why more JW's weren't concerned with the fact that the JW version of John 1:1 is so polytheistic. This is why I believe your reasoning would only work on someone who is doubting the troof because hardcore JWs checks their brain at the door and will only focus on defending the intellectually dishonest WT theology.

The question no JW can answer without resorting to babbling
by Crabby inlet me ask you only one question.
first i need to clarify a few things.
in the new world translation, john 1:1 reads: “in [the] beginning the word was, and the word was with god, and the word was a god.” then in isaiah 9:6 (nwt) we read: “for there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder.

Appointed men must be exemplary in heeding the warnings given by the faithful slave Governing Body when it comes to higher education.

Demented, patronizing load of bulls--t this is! Without educated JW engineers and physicians how the heck do they expect to properly construct and maintain their new compound? And what of those bros that already have their higher education? Are they to be looked down on as somehow "less spiritual"? Absolute malarkey to keep people as dumb and ignorant as possible.
I guess their sheeple will follow blindly, and when the big A doesn't strike in a few more decades it will be too late for them to have any sort of retirement or decent quality of life for that matter. I almost feel sorry for them...wait no, no I do not.

I am sorry Beachlover, but I don't know anyone who does what you're looking for. Ironically, I was thinking about this today. I was thinking that I would like to embark on a career as a therapist specifically for ex JW's. It seems that there are so few therapists who thoroughly understand the org and the damaging influence it holds over members lives.

I've been wondering about your situation, and wow, congrats on freedom. Those eldubs sure were manipulative. I'm glad you are out anyway.
I agree with the custody thing. If your wife wants a full on divorce, get an attorney and really push for as much custody you can. It would suck if your wife remarried some douche bag dubber and your daughter had to live by his rules. My two cents anyway.

This is horrible, immoral, and I feel wretched after seeing this. This child is being heralded as a martyr by this religion. More like an innocent victim of brainwashing and familial pressure. I hurt for those little ones who are ready to be sacrificed by their parents to their real God--the organization. How is this any different from passing their children through the fires to molech in the bible? If this doesn't scream under demonic influence and/or cult propaganda I don't know what does.

I'm all for a nice, trimmed beard. Now, how about pants for the ladies? As much counsel gets dished-out over immodest dress you would think the Borg would allow for business-style pants. Oh, who am I kidding, it's a frickin cult. -

I once told a pioneer that I had to get a job. She told me, "You don't need a job, just rely on Jehoober." It was a face-palm moment. My palm, her face.
