JWs AND THE OCCULT!

to go along with this video if you look closely at any cover of the latest wt or aw magazines you will always find (if you take your time) a pyramid or triangle in some shape or form even if it is not completely symmetrical, check it out on the jw website.

also virtually all kingdom hall exteriors will have a pyramid or triangle shaped roof, take a look at your local hall or google kingdom halls.

SECRET SIGN FOR FADERS

by Bob_NC in

faders need a secret sign to use at the khall.

the thought came to me after reading replies to datadogs post on stopping singing at the meetings.. i can suggest a few secret signs for faders to use and to look for at the khall, but it would be better that current meeting attenders make suggestions here.

if readers on this site can agree to a secret sign to use at the meetings, just imagine the power that would have at your kingdom hall.

Wizard of Oz thanks for the picture. Just to be clear Russell's grave is the one I can see behind this pyramid surely? Or is your inset inscription picture on the other side of the actual pyramid?

The amusing 'last hurdle' I had to overcome before I finally left the JW's....

by Unlearn in

jw
friends

let me add that it's amusing now...as so many things are in hindsight...but at the time it was really stressful.

almost terrifying.. see, i was in my mid 30's and an elder.

i was born-in, from one of those families with a long, decorated history in the thing.

i didn't mind blowing up my entire known life, if i had my girl with me.
it's less scary when you're back to back with someone you can trust.
and 'trust'...man, it's like gold in that process.

That is so lovely Unlearn. Wish you both all the best. Thanks for your honesty it will help a lot of people.

Max, hello and welcome.

Selective memories and disfellowshipping

by Really?! in

i've been out around 20 years (da'd), but recently i've really started to struggle with certain aspects of relating to family members who are still in, as well as my own thoughts and feelings about my upbringing and my personal views about god/life the universe.

i have an older sibling and my mum who are still in.

we are a small family and my dear grandmother, who was not in, passed away around a year ago.

the circuit assembly

by thedog1 in

i am off to the circuit assembly tomorrow.

not really looking forward to it as it is the first one i will go to after finding out many things on this forum.

since the last assembly i have read coc, in search of christian freedom, and some of the gentile times reconsidered.

The problem is once you get depressed as I did after becoming physically ill, your self esteem plummets. Then for a sister all she has left is the ministry to make her feel she is a worthwhile person. If she can't do that a woman gets more depressed and feels more worthless and round and round she goes, from my experience. I feel for you both.

I'm so sorry your wife is not well. I think if you are one of those people who, when they ask for volunteers, don't start looking around at other people but think could I do this it is very difficult to say no. When you think that I really believed that people would die without the preaching work, what else could I do? Do you think she is beginning to see what's really going on?
