  I notice that I am on a board of former members of a specific cult that preached against „mainstream medicine“ and had exclusive knowledge about world events.

  Perhaps. I do note though that those FORMER MEMBERS recognized it when they had been LIED TO. I also note that there are some who seem to have only exchanged one group of religious high control men who mandate you must think as they do with no questions or personal choice allowed for a different group of high control government/medical men who demand that you think as they do with no questions or personal choice allowed.

  an enthusiastic new recruit attends the kingdom hall.

  the elders aren't sure about his style of wardrobe.. does something like this ever really happen with new recruits?.

  That photo reminds me of an off color joke from decades ago before it would get one cancelled to tell it.

  It had to do with two elders who questioned a young man about a suit much like the one in the photo for appealing to, as Tomo III would say it, homosexuals.

  He said it was an honest mistake as he had asked his wife to go to Cox's and buy him a seersucker suit for the summer, and his wife went instead to Sears.

  I'll see myself out, and don't forget to tip your server.

  Exes: Would You Rat On A Current JW?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it's an interesting thought.

  if you are an ex jw, presumably dfed, and you see a current jw in good standing engaging in behaviour that would concern their elders, would you pass on that information to interested parties?

  do accusations from exes and other outsiders carry any weight?

  Do accusations from exes and other outsiders carry any weight? Would they even be listened to?

  In my personal experience my answer would be no. These days though my feelings about ratting out a JW to their elders f--- 'em! They can do there own dirty work.

  A divorced single sistet

  2. experiences

  it was an opinion of someone that to be a divorced, single sister i. the organization was the lowest social standing you can have.

  why are they dispised?

  ( what if was a scriptural divorce where husband cheated?

  @ Lee Marsh

  I agree with your comment above. I'm what may be termed an "old" man and have seen enough emotional blackmail and stupid games from both sides of the gender fence to last several lifetimes. Thank you for voicing your thoughts.

  I have to wonder what was so wrong in the marriage that she had to go somewhere else.

  I have to wonder what was so wrong in the marriage that HE had to go somewhere else? That works BOTH ways. I personally knew a couple in my younger JW days where the oh so spiritual wife would use the silent treatment and ask the witness husband how long he could go without in each and every case where he wished to do something or go somewhere she did not approve of (camping, hunting, fishing etc).

  And lumping men into the "they marry only for sex" pigeon hole is IMO an incorrect female excuse for their actions. Men desire closeness and emotional support from their partner pretty much at the same level as a woman.

  Memorable gem from November 2023 Study WT

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  study watchtower november 2023 p. 16,17 pars.

  9,10 - "consider the example of oleg and irina, a married couple who serve as pioneers.

  after moving to assist a congregation in another area, they lost their source of income because of the worsening economic conditions in their country......one day when they returned home from the ministry, they learned that a close friend had traveled about 160 kilometers (100 mi) to bring them two bags of groceries.

  Consider the example of Oleg and Irina,

  Or Oly and Lena. Or Jose and Maria. Or Rastuss and Liza. All names of fake people in jokes, which is what WT "experiences" are.

  the whitewashing of tm111 from jw history continues - tending to confirm that he was booted.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghbhv6961a.

  i'm pretty sure the cult got him to sign a nice nda - in exchange for a lifetime residency in the house bought by wt..

  a pet peeve of mine

  by enoughisenough in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  putting this under "friends" because i couldn't figure out where to put it.

  it is very often on here and in ex jw videos, ect that people like to undermine some of those who once we would have called friends.

  there seems to be a view that window washers, plumbers, cleaners, construction workers are somehow less intelligent than those who may be college educated.

  Does having a good job and letters after your name make you superior?

  Reminds me of the story about two guys walking through a downtown business district. They stopped in front of a business with a man's name on the door followed by the letters of his college degrees. B.S. M.S. and Ph.D.

  First man asks, "I wonder what all those letters mean?"

  Second man replies, "Well, we all know what B.S. is. M.S. means More of the Same, and Ph.D means piled high and deeper!"

  Thank you! I'll see myself out, and don't forget to tip your server.

  It was then that my ex told the elders of our premaital relationship.

  Not having read comments yet I will put in my "two cents" worth. Elders, like police, are NOT your friends when it comes to confessing sins. It is too late now for you buy the wisest course is to keep silent. The best you could have done was to tell the elders that HE was only accusing you as a means of retaliation, then quit talking. You would not have been lying. That is the only real reason he said anything about it. He was only interested in taking you down with him. They would have had no second witness. It was your confession that counted as the second witness to his accusation.

  Now though you have the chance to get away from those oh so loving wolves. RUN!

  Given that we are half way through August this 17th day of the month I would have to say "yes", we are in the last days--of August.
