  Hello I am Minksy

  by minsky in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just wanted to say hello.

  long story short, it was some things that happened one after another over a period of time, right until it was everything all at once.

  i guess the first domino was my second spiritual awakening, which tbh mostly had to do with impressing some of the brothers and one particular sister.

  I first tried to read the bible from cover to cover,

  - a requirement of Bethelites during their 1st year, which I did, trying to be objective, putting aside what was in my brainwashed brain, what a wake up!

  'Goji berries contain healthy antioxidants. Antioxidants are known for their immune-boosting qualities and their ability to fight harmful free radicals and inflammation. Goji berries contain large amounts of vitamins A and C, similarly to other berries, including blueberries and raspberries.

  Increase your intake gradually to avoid digestive discomfort. Goji berry has also been reported to interact with the blood thinner Coumadin (warfarin), leading to increased bleeding after drinking goji berry juice, tea, and wine. 9 High intake of goji berry tea has also been linked to liver toxicity'

  He gave this Public Talk as a joke. He was invited mistakenly by the brother arranging speakers. He was already out, Df'd or disassociated when he got the invite. He went and played around with them till the elders figured it out, and booted him.

  Would have been really funny if he gave the talk April 1.

  The women that abandon “The Good News” are a large army

  by Aimee.Padilla in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  to be born a woman is a great disadvantage in many parts of the world and much more if she is part of a destructive sect like the jehovah’s witnesses where she is submitted to the “theocratic order” being the base that sustains the corporate pyramid, displaying submission at all times before male authority.

  those of us that have been part of this cult can verify that the woman has to carry out a series of practices that for the rest of society is somewhat incomprehensible.

  i’d like to draw your attention to the act of head covering, if for any reason a woman has to pray in public while a male is present, who is not available to lead the prayer, she must cover her head because she wouldn’t be respecting the arrangement of authority if she didn’t.
