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.

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 .

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.

Just asked JW wife to quit
by rathernotsay inso i wont get into why i asked my jw wife to leave... theres another thread for that lol... but more out of pure curiosity i asked her just now... "in order to save this marriage would you leave the jws?
", it was a snap call no, like not even a second to pause and think about it, which kinda took me back a bit, followed by a angry "why would you ask me that now?
" (shes going out witnessing with my kids and her friends).

Its amazing how much the JW can change a person and not toward the better. They have not all but most like a fake smile and an actual disdain for ones actual well being. Like from my limited time and interaction i dont see wifes with love affection towards their husbands, more like a side kick or friend view if that makes any sense. Again im so sorry you are dealing with this
