@John Davis At least if you disagree with the rules your employer poses, you can quit your job. It's not so simple in Watchtower Land.

(Not so) Subliminal Shave Your Beard Message
by Funchback ini'm in the middle of dissecting the june 2017 jw broadcasting video.. in the first minute, they summarize a story about a guy who apparently was a one-time bad ass (showed a picture of him with a beard while posing on a chopper).
then, they show him shaving at the exact same moment the narrator is saying how he regained "a clean conscience".. this no-beard obsession by the jws is beyond nuts.. .

@stuckinarut2 Now THAT would be a sequel worth making. You even forgot the major twist where the "Lot" character in the original drama hates the gays so much and detests his daughter working with anyone in the LGBTQ community, yet in the Bible, Lot was ready to offer his daughters for rape and humiliation for the raging homosexuals bashing at his door.

@pale.emperor I'm sorry, but I F*CKING HATE these disgusting questions elders ask. WTF. Even when I was still in the organization and would listen to reinstated ones talk about their JCs and the REPUGNANT and totally unnecessary questions they were asked, I would FLIP MY SH*T over how inappropriate and WRONG it all was! But the reinstated ones would tell me with earnest, "they do it out of love. They need to know exactly what went wrong and how it went wrong so they can guide you from making the same mistake again." The sisters who went through the questions in their JCs were basically saying they were GRATEFUL for the repulsive elders asking such perverted questions. THAT IS NOT NORMAL! It outrages me to no end, and it always has, even before I woke up.

What woke you up?
by MrRoboto infor me, i think it was just the right time as i was starting to wake up on other fronts as well (anyone who had went through these will know what i mean).
but it started when i was looking for what info goes on a publisher card, which led to me reading one person's story (ex bethelite) which was pretty crazy to an all-in jw but who trusts those apostates...?.
then i started watching videos on cults, as if my subconscious was trying to tell my concord mind something... when i saw a particular one about a young man in lds getting ready to start their 2 year preaching campaign, including a school, social activities etc, i realized that i couldn't tell the difference between the folks of this mormon cult and the jws (save for some religious differences) .

@NoviceLocs14: "A major discovery was finding out that the translation of the Bible I had based my beliefs on, the NWT, was influenced by a spiritist." Whaaaat? Do elaborate on your discovery, please.

Wait - is this the brother your posted about the other day? The one who actually broke free and caught a glimpse of true happiness outside the organization? Please tell me I'm reading this post wrong : (. I watched your latest Youtube video a couple of days ago and actually thought to myself, "damn, @pale.emperor's brother is so lucky to have this guy as his family." What I would do to have siblings like you. Mine are all distant, self-righteous, judgmental pricks who haven't spoken to me in years. If only your brother could see a true friend when it hits him in the face. And one who shares his DNA. What a waste of family ties.

@Chook: "Houston". LMFAO! If Jehovah has a sense of humor (he is, after all, the "happy God"), then Stephen Lett must be his idea of a sick joke. In the mean time, maybe Scotty can beam Stephen's balls up from the ground.

@zeb Yeah, there's a few who have picked up on some MK Ultra mind control in the children's cartoons where a monarch butterfly is subtly included in nearly every clip. The monarch butterfly is a choice symbol since that species never meets its own mother and survives under the most harsh and inauspicious circumstances. There are suspicions that the use of butterfly imagery in the Caleb and Sophia videos is to subconsciously remove any love/natural affection between parent and child, making the ogranization the child's sole refuge. You'll also find a monarch butterfly smack bang in the middle of the latest convention program's artwork. Based on the trauma techniques employed by MK Ultra and the subsequent breakdowns of famous celebrities who have often posed with the butterfly imagery (Britney Spears, Amanda Bynes, Karen Mulder, Miley Cyrus, etc), we can expect a new generation of very disturbed Witnesses. Count on it.

How did you overcome feelings of lost time in the Org?
by Skepsis ini'm a very positive person who always try to focus on the good side of things.. however, my fading is becoming increasingly painful and i'm starting being shunned by some i thought were friends.
i'm missing some meetings so the rumour is spreading to neighbouring congregations where i'm known that i'm not as spiritual as i used to be.
elders want to have a shepherding meeting with me.

@jp1692 I see Warwick and Patterson as a materialistic move. I see lavish drain covers at the headquarters as a materialistic move. I see Samuel Heard's Rolex flaunted on JW Broadcast as a materialistic move. I see Stephen Lett admitting that the expenses for the new Bethel exceeded the available funds as a materialistic move. I see the Governing Body flying business class to zone visits as materialistic. I see...
You know what? Forget it.
