Phoebe it floored me emotionally when I found out that JWs died in Malawi for a GB decision based on very little facts, it was essentially a identity card because there was no opposing political party. To find out sisters were raped and murdered, houses torched for a religious political decision blows my mind. There used to be a member called Farkel read his stories it will enlighten you.

by Phoebe ini was wondering if someone could help me with a question.. i am a rookie exjw, i only left the organization 4 months ago and everything i've discovered (un/arc/malawi/mexico etc) i've only discovered in the last few months so you can image it's been a huge shock to me especially after after 50 yrs!.

i remember jimmy swaggart from the time i lived in the u.s.a and i remember the scandals with him and prostitutes etc.

Using Illegal Means for Righteous Activism
by John Davis ini wanted to get people's opinion on something.
how do you feel when people use illegal means while performing their activism to shed light on the watchtower.
there have been people who have illegally recorded conversations with elders and with branch offices or at meetings.

I think the place to have a judicial meeting is in a public area, most countries allow public recordings. As for illegal activities number one rule don't get caught, number two rule is if get caught is no comment to authorities.

Pale the only decent person was your daughter and l hope she doesn't have to endure years of this cult backlash towards her. JWs look at the children of inactive or DF'd kids as dead anyhow. Hopefully for your kids sake your x wife leaves this horrible realestate company. That video nearly brings tears as she is the most perceptive person and she rightly knows her best friend.

The real reason is they don't want to share your contributions with any other church. They will put a religious spin saying the words pagan idols yet the real reason is all about control, just like a real narcissist.

Odd things that come to mind when buying something!
by stuckinarut2 ini was just thinking about the odd things that arise when out shopping.. i saw a bag the other day, and thought "that would be a perfect 'service' bag as it is just the right size for....oh hang on...".
and when buying nice shoes, the thought is there somewhere..."these will be comfortable when walking around the streets...".
gotta laugh hey!

To help me adjust mentally I just rightly tell myself I got conned by a slick American realestate company that has no salary . All the best bullshit artists wear the suits. The only thing I see athe shops that reminds me of JWs is the sign at the hardware store that says trespassers will be shot.

Jehovahs Witnesses and Babylon The Great.Why the Emphasis on the R.C.Church and not on Islam.
by smiddy ini was thinking back to when the book babylon the great has fallen gods kingdom rules.was published many years ago when it was believed religion was declining in the world.. the book took exception to the r.c.church as the worst of christendom substituting themselves for the kingdom of god on earth , the counterfeit kingdom i think they called them.vicar of christ on earth.. and while its true to some degree in western lands today that religion is declining as regards christendom it is not happening in non christian religions around the world.. which brings me to the unprcedented rise and spread of islam in the world today .. with the war in iraq ,syria ,etc,and the people fleeing these war torn countries to europe and elsewhere around the globe with refugees and asylum seekers the spread of islam in the short space of time now beats any missionary projects conducted by christendom.. judaism ,christendom and islam all have their roots in the bible.the jews first then christians then muslims.. the bible only relates to the first two jews and christians and is completely silent about muslims.even in prophecy.. the book mentioned earlier btggkr nowhere mentions islam or muslims.as if they didnt even exist ,yet today they equal in numbers to all of christendoms religions.. islam today is by far a greater threat to christianity and especially to jehovahs witnesses than anything the roman catholic church ever posed before.. obviously the holy bible and the holy spirit or jehovahs chosen people the jehovahs witnesses never did forsee the rise and influence of the religion of islam in todays world.. the bible is completely silent about islam or the rise of muslims on the world stage.. could it be that they could no more predict the future than i could ?.
the wtb&ts the publishing house of jehovahs witnesses have for the past 100 years have continually attacked the roman catholic religion and portrayed them in an unfavourable light.time after time in mags and books,.
how many times have the wtb&ts attacked and challenged the religion of islam and muslims and condemned them as a principle member of babylon the great the empire of false religion.. to this day jehovahs witnesses cannot freely go door to door preaching their message in muslim dominated countries where proselytism is forbidden.

It's because the founders of the Jw church knew the Catholics weren't going to chop the missionaries heads off, tell me how many Jw missionaries in Yemen, Saudi Arabia. Tell tony tight pants to take his divine protection and try himself convert a person in public in these countries .
