Think of the response if someone asks is it a cult , then you will know what qualifies as a lie.

47Are JWs "mind trained" to be habitual liars?
by nonjwspouse ini don't mean overly obvious, or otherwise meaning to cause harm, but taught to lie for the purpose of avoidance.
this type of lying can be pervasive in areas of life that are not just to avoid discussions with people who have questions about the jw, etc.
my husband will lie/be deceitful about the silliest, simple things.

What changes would JW.org need to make to become a normal Christian denomination.
by UnshackleTheChains ini am interested in getting people's thoughts on this.
on average 40 thousand people leave the organisation yearly for one reason or another.
the experiences all over the media are proof of this.

Allow members to freely visit other church's, no DFing, no guilt trips, blood, normal church hangs a cross, the list would include hundreds of JW bylaws.

It's a modern Jonestown dishing out the koolaid for the children, following the money is the root of all crime , Pale I remember cooking the meals at conventions, all circuses need the clowns fed.

The point at which you think this may not be the truth
by LevelThePlayingField ini remember one of the nights that i found out the truth wasn't the truth, that is after finding out about the united nations, i remember riding my bicycle from like 1am till 5am in the city night.
it was rather chilly, maybe about 55-60 degrees and i was playing pink floyd's dark side of the moon album in my earbuds.
just riding and riding, not really tiring because of the thought that 7 men in brooklyn had duped me, duped me for like 20 plus years.

Rereading Crisis if conscience and realising that Jws lost lives in Malawi on a man made rule. Then thinking is Jesus behind all of this.

The coordinator of cong visited me last night
by Chook inhe ran into me a work and asked could he come , i said only if you're by yourself and don't wear company garb.
3 hours later and i might as well talked to myself.
i used every illustration and persuasive argument.

I also showed him the 10 min video on 1975 Vimeo, The Elder denies them specifically mentioning it , the video reveals where the JW chariot steered the brothers to sell homes , leave jobs, it's very compelling. If they want me DF it will be in absenteeism unless Geoffrey Jackson is charged with same crime.

I used every illustration and persuasive argument. Everything from Malawi and Mexican conscription, organ transplants , oral sex and grounds separations and JC procedures , baptism of children which he thought children could make an informed decision and I said would that child choose a good marriage mare at that age. In conclusion I said my beliefs are that I believe that it would be presumptuous to believe that the GB is the only channel, then I said if you want me before your kangaroo court Geoffrey Jackson needs to be dealt with first.

Last Memorial Experiences
by NoviceLocs14 ini'll share mine first.... i had never missed a memorial for at least a quarter of a century of my life.
i was kind of raised to believe that missing the memorial was a sin in itself.. by 2013 memorial season, i was missing most of my meetings (even though i was still technically part of my foreign language congregation), and i had just come off the pioneer list.
i still made plans to attend the memorial (god forbid if i missed that lol).. i knew that typically our memorials were around 9 pm, since we usually got last priority (being a foreign language hall and all).

I must state I think Pale has the zeal of a high priest to take the emblems, I would like to do it but I haven't put a suit on since leaving, but I do like full moons. I don't even like reading 3 min of WT bullshit so 1 hour of torturous story telling would do me in.
But I do love watching the YouTubes of people taking emblems, I reckon the best approach is to go to cong where no one knows you, then play the rockstar elder from the other end of country spin a story that would make big Tony proud.
