Thankfully, https://www.jw.org/en/ is capitalizing on the storm.

Jw's mentioned in shows
by days of future passed inhave you ever been watching a show and suddenly, there's a reference to jehovah's witnesses?
i was watching an english mystery show from a while back and the main character hetty, was giving a list of religions that could have drawn off a young girl.
one of the "fringe" groups was tada - jehovah's witnesses.. there is plenty of other more well known clips like snl coneheads being approached by fake jw's.

>Very much monitored
>You maintain boundaries in your mind
>The higher up you go the less freedom you have
>If you are openly dissatisfied you will become a target
>Don't raise questions or face persecution. Keep your mouth shut.
>Defecting is dangerous
>Defecting is individually a "long story" and usually thought about for a long time. Including how to get my family out as well. Lots of thought before the actual defection.
>When you leave you are a criminal and there is no communication with relatives still in
>Somebody should do something to effect change
>Afraid of the regime AND afraid of each other

Why are they still so obsessed with Dr Spock?
by purrpurr incomment in today's wt, was about dr spock, and his book "that every parent in the world read" apparently (!).
if it wasn't for the wt's obsessions with the guy i would have no idea who he was, neither i suspect would the vast majority of the congregation.
there has been a mass of parenting books written since and yet they keep harking back to this one.. do they have no idea how out of touch this makes them seem?.

Dr. Spocks book "baby and childcare" was revised like 15 times over the years. This is the angle the WT capitalizes on...."Man made books need revision and the Bible never needs to be revised."
Funny...the NWT HAS been revised more than once.
Such a load of crap.

Faithful and Prudent slave? read somewhere that the discreet was going to change to Prudent.
by goingthruthemotions inread on one of the forums, and maybe this one that the gb are going to start calling themselves the faithful and prudent slave.
my pimi brainwashed wife wouldn't bat an eyelash if they started calling themselves this.
to her it would be new light and they could do nothing wrong.. but, how the not so brainwashed flock take this change?

Prudent? No, no....its Prudish. F&DS changing to Prudish.

Does anyone think that Dubbers buy up old publications to destroy?
by rockemsockem ini see that there is a lot of people bidding on and buying the more controversial publications.
it could be all due to people who have left the cult and want to read it as published the crazy things or prove it to a family member.
but i wonder if anyone has ever heard of individuals buying up to remove something from the public.

JWs treat doubting, faded, and d/f'ed members just like all their old publications.

Have you ever gotten a straight answer? If yes, what was it?
by Tenacious inthe light continues to get brighter, yada, yada, yada.. but, the bottom line is the watchtower claims everything comes from jehovah.
books, magazines, videos, assemblies, to jw broadcast, to gb appointments, to dramas, even the music and sophia and caleb.
heck, they would claim jehovah provides the toilet paper if they could.

My wife and I faded off into the sunset with the upmost precision yet our 4 parents shun us and their multiple grandchildren with the upmost prejudice.
The sadness ran high in my home until the realization set in that if the tables were turned, we would do the exact same thing to them. I know though it doesn't take away the frustration and desire for things to be different.
Our parents brains are just as programmed by an ever-changing 135 year old Pennsylvania corporation as ours were.
Sorry that you are dealing with this Jared but your worst day outside the JW cult is better than the best day you ever had in it.
