What would be the perfect song to introduce a JW comedy sketch?

i have no idea.... .

any ideas will help.... .

According to one JW there can only be 1 of 3 reasons why you left.

by Bonsai in

i asked an old jw friend of mine why so many baptized individuals leave the jw religion.

"did it ever occur to you, old friend, that maybe they know something that you don't know and have valid reasons for leaving?

", i asked.. his response set me back for an answer.

My problem lies with the whole concept that they called it the " truth" . I believed it was the truth. Once I established that it wasn't 100% truth, then I knew they couldn't be called " in the truth". To me it became a percentage game if Catholics were 50% , Quaker 40% and JW 75% . I came to conclusion that God is not in agreement with a religion that persists with at a minimum 25% family destroying bullshit. In a court case if a witness lies 25% of time then they are concidered an unreliable witness and ALL their statements have to be disregarded. No judge in an earthly court would conclude that their words are reliable.

Can a full healing from cult ever be accomplished

by Chook in

can all indoctrination leave a person , or does it linger in background till death..

Qisme , your sister is cult affected, when someone is shunned for religious grounds is no different from someone killed for religious reasons.The one who is proactive for a religious cause will honestly think they are on a divine mission. When such thoughts are embedded on their mind there is little you can do until they see for themselves the bigger picture.

As humans we are always trying to read people, especially people who are new to our lives, everyone thinks they are a good judge of character. We read people's posts on here and look at their emoji and in our minds we try and read people. We say to ourselves that person is nice , that person is crazy, that person is different, then we feel sorry for that poor person who has been abused. As humans it's easy to become little judges, my thoughts on matters is that everyone is a little crazy. If someone says that such and such is not a little crazy ,my response is they haven't spent enough time with such ones. We all reward loyalty. Life is very short ,we need to go out of our comfort zone and embrace different people because deep down most people all want same things.

The Cult Guide To Raising Children

by pale.emperor in

something you're not likely to see in the "secret to family happiness" book.

the borg's guide to raising children:.

put the borgs needs, desires and agenda before the children every time, all the time.

What all JW parents put their children through IS child abuse, no wordly friends, no sports, meetings, door knocking, birthdays, all holiday celebrating, no playing with guns swords , no hunting ( I don't know how they think their steak got on dinner plate without a violent ending ) The problem with JWs is that the word NO is constantly before them just like the kid in the drama who couldn't even play the bloody violin without some twisted scripture.

Why Marrying An Outsider Is NOT A Disfellowshipping "Offense"

by Divergent in

jw
friends

so yeah, i was thinking about this.

marrying an unbeliever is considered to be wrong, but at the same time, it is not a disfellowshipping "offense".

well, the reason is simple: there is more to gain than to lose by not disfellowshipping.

Chook

It might not be a DF offence but it certainly doesn't provide an environment where our dear sister get an invitation to local elders place for dinner with her pagan husband.
