  Very intrusive and felt more like an interrogation. Then humiliated by being publicly reproved. Shouldn't have expected anything less from a cult!

  so some ex-jws and i were at dinner last night talking about how some of the ones baptized this year were so young.

  a few under the age of 10!!

  can you imagine if a kid got dfd at that age.... would the congregation shun them?

  Youngest I've personally known as disfellowshipped was a 14yo girl.

  This makes my blood boil. What a despicable cult to put a child in such a position. Disgusting

  i have read extensively about the origins of birthdays, and i still don't get it.

  but it's not what it means today.. even wedding veils were used to ward off the "evil eye".

  but it's not what it means today.

  after busting my butt at work this week, half of saturday would be out in service half of sunday would be at the meeting.

  then i would be stressing to get the yard in shape for the summer.

  and maybe after that have a couple hours to relax!.

  Weekends are a chore for j dubs. I hated feeling guilty because I missed field service or a meeting.

  Why I now believe Jehovah's witnesses are a cult!

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i always tended to avoid using the word 'cult' to describe jehovah's witnesses.

  instead, i preferred referring to them as a 'high control group'.

  however, having watched the shocking and bizarre behaviour by so called jehovah's witness elders toward eric wilson (borean pickets), this now confirms beyond any doubt in my mind that the watchtower organisation is nothing more than a cult.. i would seriously encourage everyone to watch the video in it's entirety and see how truly cultlike they are.. my jaw still hitting the floor 😮.

  The reason I mentioned this was there was high hopes the charity commission a few years back were going to make an impact on watchtower, but it all kind off fizzled out. So with that in mind, is there much hope that the 'Independent inquiry child sex abuse' will make a difference?

  What’s The Worst Thing About Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses brag about their brotherhood and incredible love that exists within the organization.

  they say they are really the only true religion.

  is the jw religion the closest thing to jesus christ himself?.

  by now we have all seen the video of tony morris iii buying his scotch and recommending his wife's choice of irish whiskey to the other man.

  .

  which is why i thought this meme was hilarious when i stumbled upon it on an entertainment facebook page.

  i ended my bible study today.

  several months ago, i began to feel that the truth was not the truth.

  as the months progressed, my feelings intensified.

  Wise move 👍. I tried to end my study 25 years ago, was coerced into baptism and here I am all this time later still trying to figure out how to leave officially without losing a number of relatives. They are a high control corporation that encourages it's members to shun anyone who decides to leave/disassociate (relatives or not)
