this video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.
however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.
feel free to claim credit here.
That elder with his supercilious grin on his face, is as many others have stated, downright creepy. If he was genuinely concerned for this woman his facial reactions would have indicated this. Her story should have ripped his heart out, instead he was enjoying his Andy Warhol, 15 minutes of fame.
Sickening, especially the part at the end!
this took quite a while this evening.
so worth it though.
hope you enjoy!
Hi cappytan,
Man that was awesome, really great job.
Any more in the pipeline?
tonight my dl was posted by hand by my husband (a worldly guy).
i had the luxury of being at work distracted whilst he posted it.
i have been baptised for just over 2 years and studied since 2010. i couldn't take it anymore, not just the zealous dislike/disgust for 'people in the world' (this includes my husband and 99% of my family btw) but the obvious.... the investigations into child sexual abuse.
Hi Thirteenth tribe,
You have taken a decisive step, one that can leave them under no misunderstanding. But will they take any notice of you and the many others who have left or are in the process of leaving?
No they have invested so much in this that they cannot see what is in front of them:
Welcome to the real world Thirteenth tribe
i may be on a diatribe now but something has came back to me tonight.. during my studies i was always told that "silence is compliance".
this would come up whilst i was 'putting on the new personality'.
i would be reminded of possible social situations or associations where if my integrity was at all compromised by someone else's standards -my silence to their un-christian actions would be deemed as compliance.
Hi Thirteenth tribe,
Fully agree with your post, it is funny how if you remain silent you are guilty of compliance, when they remain silent it is because others are not deserving of the truth.
What they fail to understand, is what is in the song "Silence is Golden" by The Tremeloes:
Silence is goldenThey can remain silent, but others can see exactly what they are.
But my eyes still see
i am on a pension, so i could not afford to pay for a psychologist, but my good doctor referred me to a free clinic for people on a low income, for my anxiety and depression, so i have finally got my first appointment with a psychologist since i started my fade, so where do i start trying to explain the mental trauma i feel as a fading jw?
i would appreciate your advice.
simple .
Hi Simple Minds,
Like you I recently joined this forum after 25 years in the truth, but unlike you I haven't suffered mentally from this cult as you have. Therefore, I cannot fully understand your pain, but I do sympathize with you. All I can say is what everyone else has already suggested, just be yourself and be honest.
Any psychologist who knows what they are doing will be able to help you and ease your pain. If it helps a friend of mine had some counselling a while back it would seem that most psychologist's are fully aware of this cult and it's harmful practices.
Take care my friend and be well.

here is a question, if "not one of them is missing" how does the org explain super nova's, the destruction of a star at the end of it's life cycle?
because by definition it is missing, i have never heard of any explanation from the org to explain this contradiction..

Hey guys like all the responses lets have some fun with this and keep it going.
How about The Who "My Overlapping Generation", oops sorry, bit of a Splane moment, I meant "My Generation" look at some of the lyrics:
People try to put us d-downRemember the ARC last summer, how about Black Sabbath, Paranoid.
I hope I die before I get old
Why don't you all f-fade away
And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say

i've been awake now for about 6 months i'd guess and a member here for a couple of weeks.
it's been eye opening to read other peoples experiences on here and i appreciate all of you.
i've noticed in many, seemingly most, of your comments that you were not treated well at your hall or you have had very negative experiences in the "org" so i thought i'd like to share mine.. in all my time as a jw i have to say for the most part i always loved the people.
Freeandclear
Welcome to your freedom, I also have been lurking for some time and took the plunge 4 days ago on here. I am envious of your experiences with JW's and that it went well for you.
Sadly for me like so many others it was anything but. I will not go into detail here, but briefly as a MS, I was told by an elder that "...no MS tells me what to do", I uncovered an anomaly with the accounts to do with missing money, the elder made my life hell so that I had to move congregations. But it did not end there he made sure that a bad report was sent to my new congregation, the result no reappointment as I was deemed a bad influence on the congregation. They then proceeded to shun me, my family and friends for the next 20 years, in the end we all had enough and we are all out!
Our experience is by no means unique, I have heard of much worse in other congregations. So Freeandclear you have been very fortunate and I am pleased that you have not suffered the same as so many others.
At least now you have seen the light on new light.
