I'm sorry you feel that way, Sofia. Hopefully you can keep using the techniques and tips they suggested in the video along with Steve Hassan's approach to help wake him up.

The new Governing Body is liberal. they are really freeminders!

by rege brazzy in

dear friends, your posts are very good, but we really think that they will change many things soon...for example.

watch tower now are feminist and they protect the gay cause.soon we will have many gay marriages in kingdom halls.you will see.that governing body is really cool.ted jaracz and john barr were the last puritans in the governing body!.

the current governing body is completely liberal, but as yet has some bethelites the old guard working, they are still holding some behaviors .... but very soon you will see ... even in my congregation is very liberal ... not here disassociates for immorality .. just for apostasy ... i fucked three sister, but the elders did not shunned me, but they only help me!

Captain Obvious

Your elders told you they wouldn't DF your for fornication.... Just apostasy? And here you are on an apostate forum.

Go away.

Hello Everyone

by MarieK in

i hope everyone is having a good saturday.

i've visited this many times in the past month or so, joined yesterday and finally got the nerve to post!

needless to say, i'm super nervous, being new to this whole experience.

Captain Obvious

Welcome, MarieK!

I remember typing "Jehovah's witnesses" into the Google search bar for the first time. Heart was pounding! Minutes later, my eyes were opened.

Congrats on on your freedom, and more so that your husband is awake too! That is the single biggest issue in many of our lives right now. Now you get to walk out of the KH hand in hand.. I can tell you that's a dream of mine.

I look forward to more of your posts

Conversation with ultra dub relative. Pure quality this one

by joe134cd in

if any one has been taking note of my posts, it could be said that i often mention conversations i have had with dubbies.

in some ways not been dfed has allowed me to gain some real in sight into how they think and their justification for things.

the following is a conversation i just had with an ultra super dub relative, and to be honest i don't know weather i should be laughing or crying over it.. relative: the rc this year is going to be held in the assembly hall.

Captain Obvious

Your comment, "oh really I thought it would of been the other way around with the great expansion that is now taking place. I though there was a need for bigger and better halls to allow for the increase. It sort of dosnt make sense how they would be selling perfectly good recently renovated halls to build smaller ones." Got his rationalization hamster running.

If this: "Yeah Jehovah is building the KH smaller now as he wants us to draw closer to each other in the time of the end." Is true then I say go ahead, just leave us faders alone. Drive out the REAL people who lead reasonable lives by ostracizing them for not being "spiritual" enough.

For once and for all

by Pistoff in

for the latest apologists for the gb and the lawyers that rank and file are paying for:.

the wt has not changed their policy.. they still have a 2 witness policy about child sexual abuse, and think it's a good idea.. they will still appoint someone who has sexually abused a child, if they want to.. they say that they won't allow an abuser to go door to door without supervision, but this means nothing, as they protect the identity of abusers; they refuse to tell all elders and ms's who they are, witness mr. kendricks.. nothing has changed..

Captain Obvious

But HOW can we show this to active JWs? They swallow the slimy bullshit cop out answers the WT provides because they're used to accepting them.

Should I hit send button as is? Change? Or just hit delete?

by Lied2NoMore in

so after being deleted because of my comment on her instagram post by my sister-in-law i got a text from her stating she didn't want a debate on instagram and the scripture i posted would not apply to satan, they are worried about me, go see elders, return to jehovah, or else you won't get life, etc etc.... i'm ready to respond with the following reply:.

so....hit send?

make changes?

Captain Obvious

Reword it less offensively. You ask her to not speak offensively to you while doing the same in return.

Also calling the GB buffoons and "tight pants tony" etc. will detract from your point. That is all she will see, will gloss over the rest and probably not even finish it.

It it may have been cathartic to write, but re-read it with her eyes. JWs are VERY sensitive to criticism of their leaders and religion. It is counterproductive. Try rewriting it with a more loving but factual tone, you will get more mileage out of it guaranteed.

Or delete it. That's a better option than sending what you have there.
