https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8hzAkYfazc This is a talk this year about how to stay loyal to the cult. It talks about not blaming yourself when your child is DFed. But wait, when I was in the cult the elders told the parents of DFed children that it was their fault. They would say that they did not teach properly or they would not have "turned aside" I can remember my buddys brother left the cult. His parents were unquestioning, they talk came out that it was the parents fault. I remember they would say they must have done something wrong beating themself. Now its not their fault. LOL Crazy cult. Any one have the Tower that was in back in the 70s or 80s?

"Demons" Living In My Brothers Gym Equipment
by pale.emperor inspoke to my younger brother dan yesterday (he da'd about 6 months ago).
he was telling me that he got a visit from our older brother the day before.
our older brother was raised a jw but never committed, lives a full-on "worldly" life - smokes, binge drinks, hangs out with non-jws, but he's been studying for about 6 years would you believe?.

I know of a lot of mind numb idiot JWs who would not go to Garage sales or antique stores because the items could be demon attached. LOL I bought Tarot cards and books and other things and have never seen a damn thing. Its mentally small minded people who are afraid of their own shadow.

A non-Witnes who accepts 607 BC?
by careful inan eyebrow raiser to be sure.
i can understand the clergyman being so baptist that he'd still use the name jehovah since it was popular in english and german churches for a long time during and after the reformation, but 607?.
see ¶ 6 under the heading "the historicity of the book of daniel".

No one who uses facts will date the destruction of the temple to 607.

I don't know if Trump is a good christian or not but we need a wall to protect our boarders. If you don't like it you can leave. Letting in illegals whole sale is for the stupid. All they do is suck off the welfare system and then bring in crime and drugs. Not the best and brightest. Playing the race card as "brown " people is only showing your lack of argument.

Tattoos
by new boy ini don't really have an opinion on the them one way or another.. when i was growing up the only place you saw them were on old ex military guys.
they had eagles with american flags or a heart with a knife through it.
some were so old and faded out you didn't know what they were supposed represent anymore.

Tattoos are a personal choice. As a JW it was a big nono. Now I have Three and looking to get a 4th. I do not judge anyone for getting or not getting one. I have seen ones I like and ones that make me cringe but its not my place to judge.

Governing Body Just got Spanked
by Bill Covert inyesterday in watchtower documents there was published "flawed decrees conceal criminals.
barbara anderson examined the rnwt revision of lev.5:1 and revealed the wtb&ts to be deceptive as to applying it to congregation members being required to "tattle" on their brothers to expose sin.
she shows that is just not so as lev.5:1 has nothing to do with tattling.

Do you miss that initial "high" ??
by stuckinarut2 indo you remember the first time you found out "the truth about the truth"?.
yes, it was confronting, shocking and life altering.
yes it was hard to deal with.. but, along with that, many have said that they experienced a sense of thrill, euphoria, or joy when realising the facts about the religion that held us captive mentally and physically for so long.. it was liberating to learn some of the controversial teachings etc.

There was no high for me it was just the Bull shit I was raised in. The high came when I found the internet and others like Randy Waters and crisis of conscience that told me what my gut had been saying years before.
