  very strange behavior by the attendants and elders after the duluth, ga, rc.

  on the first link the attendants start to exit the arena, then line up and turn their backs on the street preachers.

  (around the 6:00 mark).. elders and attendants after duluth rc.

  Very disturbing.. What a bunch of loonies. They think they're so much better and prouder than anyone, and any other religion. How is this any different from a singing gospel church with dancing members singing loud praising the lord clapping their hands? But yet if you ask a JW about that, they'll have a comeback on how that isn't showing praise to God, it's taking away from the message through distraction. Umm what are they doing here in this video? Hmm.. Irony

  Convention Videos: Someone messed up royally

  when i first saw the video, i was like, "wait... is that her... panties showing through the dress"?and it seems like it is so.turns out that if you look at the middle right of the video, there are some letters.

  it reads, "footage provided by pond5".if someone wants to purchase that video to confirm, you can purchase it here:http://depositphotos.com/63621499/stock-video-violinist-girl-walking-through-a.htmli think that this was a royal mess up because i doubt they would put footage of a sister in a skimpy, revealing dress.doesn't the gb approve this?this will probably go down as another of the "subliminal images"...if there are thongs in paradise... might not be so bad after all!.

  I wonder if he will ever see this post? Being that it's not private. .Anyways I think that he must enjoy wearing bright "out there" color suits.. I remember a brother in my circuit who would do the same thing, maybe it's a stand out kind of deal, he probably likes the attention the suit brings.. Just wait until the eldubs counsel him on not being modest in the house of God.. Haha!

  Any regrets whilst you were in the Org

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the biggest regret i have is of 'shunning' persons who were disfellowshipped and for 'marking' ones deemed as bad association.. there's no way i can approach these people to ask them for forgiveness as i've emigrated to another country however, by this post i'd like it to be known..

  Elders Advice Backfired And Now Im The Happiest I've Ever Been

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  just wanted to update you guys of the amazing couple of weeks i've had in recovering from the cult.. i was attending the meetings still just so i could see my daughter in the kingdom hall and have her sit we me half the time.

  i had no intention of ever becoming a jw again but was hoping to be re-instated and just not turn up ever again so i could at least see my family.

  but then an elder said something to me that changed all that.

  Warning: Watchtower computer dept. registers accounts on Ex-JW sites, coerces people to divulge their personal details

  by WTS Archive in

  2. friends

  we had a bad experience with watchtower trying to infiltrate our forums.

  let this story be a warning for all you guys here.

  if you value your privacy do not ever send your real contact details to anyone, even if you trust them (because their accounts could be hacked or accessed by their relatives - and yes, this happened to people i know several times already).

  Can an atheist date jw?

  by concernCitizen in

  hey everyone!.

  first of all, i'm not a jw, in fact i'm an atheist, or if you really want to be technical about it i'm probably something like an agnostic atheist or something.. but, my girlfriend is a jw, she seems very rational about it though, it seems to me that she believes in a lot of it but not exactly all, for instance she does understands and believes in the scientific age of the earth and evolution.. when we started dating almost a year ago she made it clear she as religious person.

  i never saw that as a problem, it's not like i'm trying to convert her or she's trying to convert me.

  DATA-DOG- I like your style ;-D

  CONCERNCITIZEN-

  You are in a situation for sure.. Firstly I think you have some great advice on this thread.. I would definitely take the ideas thoughts and statements of others into consideration. Now, you say you have been dating this girl for over a year? So she's been hiding you for a good amount of time.. I'm not sure what her standing in the congregation is, BUT she is very indoctrinated by this organization ( cult ) being that she hasn't cut ties with it since she is scared of her mothers disapproval or even the thought of being asked to leave home for dating a "worldly man", she's probably scared of being Disfellowshipped.. ( especially since you two have been intimate, it doesn't matter if there was no penetration, but heavily petting half naked is still grounds for trouble ) Its very difficult to explain the obvious lies, false prophecy and teachings to an active JW... I have been through a similar situation, except I was already fading out of the org when my mother turned me into the Elders for premarital sex... I'm officially out of the org.. I too was once brainwashed and very indoctrinated by this religion but it took MY own discovery, research, and long nights of reading to figure out that this religion is a big giant cult corporation.
  

  If you are willing to go through this exhausting roller coaster then fine, but if it were me i would move on.. Its not worth it, her ties to this cult are probably too strong which is why she hasn't been fully honest with you.. It would be different if she has already been delving into research and slowly learning the real truth about this religion.. But as of now she still sounds heavily involved..

  You sound like a nice guy, I'm sorry you've been put through this but relationships with an active involved JW are very hard to sustain..

  Openly converting to another religion but not disfellowshipped

  by R Franz Ferdinand III in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  odd.... friends of mine recently became members of an evangelical church.. up until they got baptised in this church, they still were visiting the jw meetings on a regular basis.they weren't really fading in the true sense of the word.. they came out of the closet about their new conviction quite publicly and even didn't shy away from getting in debate with the elders on biblical topics.. the elders are obviously very aware about their position and as they still were attending the meetings not so long ago, they clearly can be considered as people associated with the jw organisation.. as far as i know it seems they won't get disfellowshipped.

  as long my friends don't harrass fellow witnesses with their 'renegade ideas' and 'false religion', elders seem to comply and leave things as they are.. this puzzles me as defecting to babylon the great always has been one the most worst offenses a jw could possibly commit.. could this be a case of local elders interpreting/applying things their own way or is there a (new) general policy trending ?.

  anyone who knows about similar cases ?.

  R FRANZ F. III-

  The elders could be gathering information on them right now so they are laying low, making their rounds of eye witnesses to gather who have been in contact with this couple and have proof that they are apart of a new religion and/ preaching to the congregation.
  I feel like there will be something to happen here, *sits back, grabs popcorn* $#!t is going to hit the fan just wait!
