Id say Trump has done enough harm as it is. Things go in cycles, if enough people vote Trump is looking at a real shot of being impeached.

Jehovah’s Witness dating rules
by Addison0998 ini’m sorry that i talk about dating a lot, i know it is probably very annoying, but you don’t have to read it.
but did anyone else have the most difficult time dating as a young jw?
me and my boyfriend have been dating for a year in half, we are in our early 20’s, and we are still not allowed to hold hands, cuddle or kiss.

A cult has a way with people i will never understand. From going at it like rabbits to basically celibate when it ended, such a polar difference says it all.

How many here think Trump's news conference this evening was absolutely brilliant
by ShirleyW ini'm being serious, i would like to hear from folks here that support him describe to me how that news conference was absolute brilliance, he answered all the questions, he knows what he is talking about.
just want to compare note with those who aren't his supporters (and have common sense) as you know this forum is here to hear both sides, so, have at it .

The people who think he is a genius are very similar to the people who will believe anything the watch tower says. Another form of sheep's but led astray they both are. Its ironic that both are very similar, they when faced with reality, with real number, with facts turn the other cheek and prefer to live in there own created reality be it supporting Trump or going door to door.

What Privileges do you get when you are baptized ?
by LOLS inmy husband was baptized at the recent 2018 convention in south africa ....... he was very annoyed that his non-believing wife did not attend the baptism....... but i think he received pressure from his jw father & elders as to why his wife was not attending ....... anyway ..... it's really water off my back .
i wanted to know what privileges you get as a baptized jw man , as i saw a message from one of the elders at his cong , congratulating him on his baptism and to earning more privileges ..... what are these privileges the elder is speaking about ,,,,, .
i don't feel like asking my husband as it just lands up in a stupid fight ..... or a long winded explanation ..... thanks .

Good luck, i sadly feel this wont go well but the important thing is you are a strong person and have set boundaries. Without sounding mean, JW could be some of the strongest and weakest people at the same time. The lack of self worth, the devotion to a cult etc. You are in for a long rocky ride

Its basically criminal what they are doing but i understand its a form of control. The sad part is the people who believe this. Its like one seeing a person put the rope around there neck with a smile thinking they are doing the right thing to the path towards salvation.
Sometimes one needs to let a drowning person who wont see reality drown rather than have them drag you down too. Its such a pity.

The sad thing is that their are people who believe this and are throwing away their lives. I understand free will but a person in a cult might not have all the mental facilities to evaluate situations unbiasedly.

Did You Ever Think You Would Be A Member On A Site Like This?
by minimus inwhen i first started looking at “apostate” sites , i was always watching over my shoulder, hoping no one would catch me viewing “spiritual pornography”.
i found these types of sites mesmerizing but i never thought i’d join one.... look at me now.😈.

Never in a million years. Im still not sure if its a blessing or a curse the impact a person has had on me, making me grow up and become a better person while i see the other person go down the rabbit whole deeper and deeper where i dont recognize them anymore.

"Blood Guilty"
by new boy inguilt is such a wonderful tool used by the jehovah’s witnesses.
one of the terms they love to use is the term “blood guilty.” they have actually used this term to guilt their members into doing more and more “house to house activity” yes, they have said on numerous occasions at their kingdom halls and other major gathering that a person “could be blood guilty” for not going out in the field service activity enough.
the reason is simple.

I feel pity and sadness for those people. You can lead a horse to water but you cant force them to drink it. Seeing first hand the level of destruction of a person is hard

They did it as a control mechanism sadly. The interesting thing is older people that i still talk to time to time are like, no go and do your degree, go out there an make something of yourself ignore what they say. The young ones are like let me get a trade skill so i can go door to door...... :(

How Would You Prove To A JW That They Are Wrong?
by minimus inwhat could you say to prove to a witness that they simply do not have the truth?.
-

James87
One can plant seeds of doubt but that can go in one ear and out the other. Ironically using their same words when a person is ready to accept and learn the truth then they can open their eyes to reality.
To this day i still remember two conversations where reality did not matter to a person i care about deeply. Facts and reality wont help when the other person yells i believe in the bible.
