john cedars latest youtube video refers to last weekend's wt study article which some have referred to on another thread but i am truly outraged at the continuing misogynist attitude toward women.
not only did that study article say if women have a family to care for it will stop them gossiping or meddling into other people's affairs, lloyd shares on his video a talk by sam herd from when he was a c.o in 1971.
(i hope he has since changed his opinion!
Another "point" which should be obvious in this discussion is that the males in the WTBorg Inc. "religion" are perhaps the true sources of gossip material. Ever been with a group of elders to overhear their "private" discussions? Absolutely shocking!
Of course, blame the ladies. Sounds like a clear case of CYA.
would you join a religion which says everyone who is not a member will be killed by god?.
would you join a religion which you know that statistically if you stay in it long enough, there is a high chance that it will split your family apart?.
would you join a religion which demands that you preach to your neighbours that they are soon going to die if they don’t believe your message?.
Quote from jp1692:
Would I? In fact I did, but it was only after joining that I began to discover the real truth about the cult known as Jehovah's Witnesses.
Well said! Which means that the "contract" is null and void. Unless there is full disclosure ab initio the transaction is fraudulent. We have all been deceived in the classical fashion.
While surely painful, the experience is none-the-less very beneficial. The "Waking Up" part, that is.
We now all possess a great Truth that will be of considerable value as we continue on along the narrow path.
so we've already established that most religions can be classified as high control groups, we can name the wbts, church of scientology, lds, etc.
the list goes on and on.
but are there any religions or organizations that aren't classified as a high control group or aren't as bad as the ones i've just mentioned?
In the beginning many organizations were created for good purposes to perform good works and to enable freedom. In time those organizations have been infiltrated by deceivers whose intent has been to purposely corrupt them and transform them into cults. The U.S. government, and many others throughout the World, have programs in place to accomplish infiltration and transformation. Military Intelligence Agencies employ such tactics for training purposes to enhance the skills of agent provocateurs during PsyOp exercises. In this day and age nothing is as it seems...
Five stars! *****
i mean they routinely question the "invited" guest of dishonor to their proceedings: if they have any prohibited recording devices and won't allow any witnesses to be present.
this is cruelly horrible treatment of a human being,, i say this can be a slam dunk in the courts.
maybe not millions but definitely some nice returns for the person and his lawyer.
Quote from John Davis:
There was, in fact, one court case where the gentleman who sued Watchtower was in the right and could prove that Watchtower gave him and the elders who DF'd him the wrong information according to their own policies. The court ruled that there is nothing that a civil court can do to remedy the situation, that even if the elders conspired against him there is no remedy that can be given.
The WT Corporation is a "Private Jurisdiction" which the Courts have no jurisdiction over so long as the case involves events or activities on Corporation Property amongst Corporation Members in accordance with Corporation Rules. The Courts are very reluctant to intervene into Corporation Affairs in violation of Corporation Privilege. Which is the principal reason corporations exist.
There is no easy solution to this problem within our Legal System.
it's biggest problems are associated with its lack of genuine love and concern for the rank& file.
the average person doesn't need a food critic to tell them their hamburger is shit, in the same manner the average person can discern kindness and love.
gbs fake love and concern is evident in the way head office deals with victims of sexual abuse by jw clergy.
Aye, that they are! Intense fear, a specialty of the WTBorg Inc., is an incredibly powerful motivator of behavior modification. A "religion" which preaches Fear to the flock; threatens the flock with "sanctions" should they deviate from the desired behaviors; enforces "sanctions" against those who are judicially declared to be "apostates" as well as the flock itself if any dare to deviate from the enforced "shunning" dictates. All the characteristics of a Dangerous Extremist Cult.
Bravo to the Russians for having the courage to ban their harmful activities!
the last episode of my story on thisjwlife is out now.
after leaving the cult of jehovah’s witnesses we learned even more eye-opening things about it.
then we applied the same scrutiny to the book that everything we ever believed was based on.
Beware the rebound. It is treacherous territory.

Aye, I would agree - definitely recommended!
Dubstepped,
Your journey out of the Cult is not completed. It seems that it is really just beginning. "Your take" is coming from a place of deep anger and resentment and is painful to hear. Valuable at the same time for all who are Xs because it well illustrates that the "healing" process is lengthy. Until Loving Forgiveness takes hold and the anger and resentment vanish into oblivion, your "take" on things will still be Cult influenced.
You will be Free in due time. Count your blessings. Love conquers all and it shall.
i am pimo but attended the r.c yesterday for family pressure reasons.
a "sister" i've not seen for a while told me her husband is overjoyed because a man he called on recently in the field service suddenly told him he wanted to attend the r.c.
the unusual thing is, this man is a millionaire having built a property portfolio.
In the beginning it is nearly always curiosity.
In the beginning our ability to think critically is most vulnerable.
The show will go on...

Corporations are able to do such things. They are a Private Jurisdiction and are able to enforce their own Private "laws" or procedures within/upon their own property. Unless there has been Full Disclosure of this characteristic of the Corporation with the Membership, then who would know?
Corporations are very Unique Persons.
