this article is amazing.

there have been other recent articles about reversing aging in mice.

Norwegian Article in English: THE ELDER

by AndersonsInfo in

you’ll find this article very long and very interesting.

it was published as part of a series of articles in a quality newspaper in southern norway.

as seen from the article, the journalists have been working on this article for several months.

I want every active jw to read this article and ask themselves- how would the true God allow his organization to allow this? This is proof jw is not the true religion- wake up sleepy Jws- get out of her so you are not sharing in her sins

Endure or Enjoy??

by stuckinarut2 in

have we ever noticed how witnesses are constantly being told that life is something that needs to be "endured", rather that "enjoyed"?.

life is always so tough, so hard, so difficult in "these last days".

"persecution and trials abound".

This was a huge cognitive dissonance subject for me personally. Despite being raised as a JW, I am inherently a positive person. I used to completely dread a Sunday talk speaker going on and on and on for 15 minutes at the beginning of his cult talk about horrible world conditions- I used to turn to my husband and say- he hasn't opened his bible yet. Of course I felt guilty for not wanting to be there forced to listen to it...I also remember a series of wt study articles about joy and how it is a fruit of the spirit and we should cultivate it blah blah- as I looked around The KH for one example of someone doing that- no one was there. I think most JW are really jealous of people in the cong that are trying to be happy- a lot of them are self made martyrs

Another marriage bites the dust ...

by EdenOne in

... and this time it was mine.. mrs. eden decided to part ways and leave home, and so our 25 year long partnership is now dissolving.

just another colateral damage in a long list of colateral damages from being raised in the "truth".

I'm so sorry to hear this news, any chance of reconciliation?

Transferring Congregations

by optimisticskeptic in

what is included in the publisher cards and other information when you transfer from one congregation to another?

i was privately reproved and may be moving to a congregation where there are brothers i rather not know why i was privately reproved.

is the fact i was privately reproved visible but not the reason why?

All or nothing

In a perfect world they won't say anything to the new congregation, but I wouldn't count on it.

Pioneer School scare tactics

by neat blue dog in

i just talked with a pioneer who came back from school and she said that at the end there was emphasis put on two things.. 1: stay loyal to the governing body and their teachings.. 2: beware of propaganda.

they said that in wartime the enemy will use propaganda to break the spirit of or confuse the troops.

they said the same things is happening now, so reject negative reports about the organization.. this pioneer (who is fully pimi btw and enthusiastic about it) said she asked her cotboe about if we really have that problem here.

All or nothing

They must really be scared making this part of pioneer school- we never heard that during pioneer school when we went

my cousin's girlfriend moved from another state and is now living in our home.

they said she lived in a bad situation, but i don't believe them.

my cousin lies.

Ask her the name and phone number of her bible teacher, and then tell that woman or called sister in (JW language)she is sexually active with him. That sister will have to report it to the elders of the congregation/ or church also known as Kingdom Hall. Also if you can find out the name of the congregation they belong to, you can call and speak with the head elder also known as coordinator of body of elders.

Don't worry about that happening so fast, students have to study at least 1 book, answer a bunch of questions- jump thru a bunch of hoops before they can get baptized. If she is sleeping with the kid, that's already against the rules and makes her disqualified

My suggestion would be to start a new post asking if anyone in the Columbia sc area would be willing to help you, meet or face time. I'm sure there is some ex Jws up around there. Or just keep posting your questions here- a lot of us are willing to answer the questions you both have😊
