  Where are the EXJW Feminist Philosophers?

  by Luther bertrand in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i am working, more in the planning stages, where i am going to offer a commentary on the caleb and sophia cartoons that the org puts out.

  i noticed a heavily patriarchal bent to the narrative that these cartoons offer.

  i would really enjoy working with someone who has an academic background in feminist philosophy, or at least someone knowledgeable.

  Protest for Mandatory Reporting?

  by Luther bertrand in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  on another thread, i have been having a discussion about protests in connection with watchtower policy.

  one of the biggest and more re-occuring rebuttals to protesting at kingdom halls and assemblies is that it does two things: 1. it re-enforces the apostate "mentally diseased" narrative heaped on the xjw community by the gb 2. it causes people to withdraw and get closer to the borg.. what if we as a group took the protest to city halls and government authorities to raise awareness of the need for mandatory reporting laws, rather than protesting @jw events?

  hell even geoffry jackson, when he gave his testimony at the arc, agreed that it would be "helpful".

  The New Word for the Day: Apostagasm

  by Luther bertrand in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  apostagasm (noun): the excited reaction to any form of protest where awareness of watchtower abuses is increased in such a way that it creates an emotional response associated with increased heartbeat, increased mental acuity, and urges to do your own acts of apostasy and actions where watchtower abuses are given more visibility.. example1: reading ray franzs' book:"crisis of conscience" gave me an apostagasm.. post your own sentence using the word apostagasm.

  tell us about a time when you had one!

  share and share alike!.

  Who am I? - How to find the well lived life after undue influence

  by Luther bertrand in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i was added fairly recently to the aawa network (thank you richard e. kelly ) and have been a lurker/fader for many years.

  the ex-jw community, from a far, has offered me so many ways to help go through my own thinking while awakening and working through my own crisis of conscience.

  however, i do have a critique of our community.
