Pioneered in the SE USA because it was a requirement to go into the circuit work.
No good memories other than the narcissistic ones that accompanied being a CO brown nosing, spiritual lobotamy giving, pedophile protector.
perhaps not a topic for everybody... mine.. in both sp service in a foreign field in europe , the freedom and helping people to read and write in spanish .
doing a lot of work in the congregations.. in missionary-service.. helping congregations in a third-world country and see good results in family relations.
and the siestas from 13:00 to 15:00..... who has good memories of bethel?

As a 4th gen, Caucasian, Mandarin bible study conducting, Uberdub...that woke up via the the very org that trains its member's to stay asleep...everything she said rings true.
think of how much time and money the tower stole from any who were in the cult.
think of the vacations as a child you could have taken with your families the memories you could have made instead of sitting in a hot bs week of echo talks and propaganda.
they stole so much from us.
Not only did they steal something from us but the WT Corporation left many of us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually f&cked for life or a large portion of whats left of it. Some calling card eh?
As stated by another I feel the same that I am SO THANKFUL that all our children, their children, their children's children, will not have to shun or be shunned. And by the time my great grand-children are on earth, the WT will be gone.
what unique to jws phrases do you remember?
something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.
there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.

"So you were molested and didn't have another witness to the crime? Well I'm sorry but you should just...[everyone altogether now...!"]...leave it in Jehovah's hands."
"We'll Tom, me and brother Narcissimo camped out in the bushes at your girlfriends house, and you stayed the entire night. I understand you say nothing happened but we will now form a judicial committee. You should have just raped her behind the hall, denied it, and then you wouldn't be in this predicament. We hope you'll humbly accept Jehovah's correction from us who have earned the trust of the congregation"

Ahh yes...the flashbacks of me getting whipped in the KH bathroom and at home, watching my JW peers getting whipped, and then since I was raised in the WT utopia dystopia...me whipping my own children while they were still in diapers. Sickening.
The JW propaganda machine does an incredible job of saying "we don't advocate physical discipline". So why then did the majority of us born in's get physically beat and grow up to engage in it ourselves?
Wait...wait for it... OK All Together Now: Because we were in a destructive CULT!
underwhelming as usual.
of note is the ridiculous amount of time spent encouraging the r&f to "do the math" on various chronologies.
oh if only they would do the math from their own publications on the error of 607/1914.

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

>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
