in his 2002 book that examined the behaviour and practices of jehovah’s witnesses, english sociologist andrew holden devoted an entire chapter to the trauma and friction experienced by those who choose to leave the jehovah’s witness religion.
“those who do eventually break free,” he concluded, “are seldom allowed a dignified exit.”.
They have made the claim it is like shunning a traitor to your country. Except some of our traitors are simply questioning the government or disclosing dirt. That depends on your political leaning.
The other illustration I hated was a freezing person. Quote: "you slap him and yell to wake him up". In reality hypothermia treatment consists of engulfing a person in warmth.
you might have seen my post a little while ago about how they were throwing around a new term, "jw news" and inserting it in articles.
well now they went ahead and made a logo for it.. .
oh brother 🤣 i wonder if this'll be part of the programming on jw studios' paid streaming service 😉.
I looked up some. Tornadoes in Kentucky. Relief efforts guided by CO. So far so good.
Hurricane Pamela hit Mexico. Shelter being provided by family and friends. AND food supplies provided to twenty (count 'em) twenty people.

Is this a new logo for their same news? The carefully chosen propaganda about Russia and disasters that happened 3 months ago; and a new book rewritten from a rewritten one.
I am amazed how many dubs really do not watch news. If I mention fires, car crashes that killed people, gang shootings they do not know.
i have learn a lot about the religion and congregations.
when i was active visiting meetings, i was there for the spiritual food.
i actually thought everyone else was there for same reason ;-) i have learn there's a great variation among jws.
The biggest is reinforcement that the truth isnt true. It was always in the background
one of my jw family member had a big get together.
he invited a lot of his jw friends.
there was teenage kids, couples, singles.
Not here. Still following the isolation/mask crap. No get togethers. Any young ones who try to date are watched.
Regular phone calls about missing or not commenting. The turn in your time call comes every time around 4 on the last day of month.
witnesses never watch r movies.
but they understand references to wood chippers and banjo music.. other than that the rating system is not worldwide .
Yes also unedited versions. There are dub women who use the f word ( usually in a title of a web site) which still bothers me.
The wood chipper scene was R i am pretty sure , as is the connection of banjos to deviant crackers ever since that movie

Bobcat. Please dont do anything to out a mole
i don't know if he was a regular betalite but either way he left and in the interview he says some of the gb are very intelligent.
the whole thing came across to me as this guy may have just left and is still a little wonky about talking against the gb.
i don't buy from all i have seen that any of the gb are very intelligent.. [video removed].
Not sure about smart, but the dumb act sells. Cunning is a good word. Reading between the lines gives us haughty and greedy
cold, dark.
isolation on top of it this year.
i am sick of sappy xmas music and tv shows.. i always reflect on what religion has done to my family.
Thnks. This time of year I remember the 2 self righteous elders and 1 plain mean one who handled my son. No trading positions with them, I couldnt stand my self. I try to be kind and think matters through. My biggest fault is carrying the world on my shoulders. Even jesus couldnt fix things, and wont now.
