For Smiddy: Cool and Damp

by compound complex in

gosh, smiddy, it's nice to have a request for poetry!.

"the black oaks" describes where i live in the california sierra foothills; we are, for the most part, above the fog and below the snow.

nevertheless, we do get both occasionally.

Goodbye my friends.

for almost 12 years now, i have been coming to this site on a regular basis and in the last 5, i “faded out”.

i never regretted this and never will.

unfortunately though, yesterday, i realized that, until i can publically tell all my old acquaintances why i have left, i will never be truly free.

I have found plenty of people who invested their time and resources in order to help people like me with compassion, love and facts.

My younger brother officially Disassociated today

by pale.emperor in

hi guys.

just wanted to share this with you as it's kind of got me worried.

my brother who was also raised in "the truth™" met me in town today for a coffee.

PE, that fact that any of this is happening just further proves what we here already know: this is a manipulative, destructive, high-control, authoritarian cult.

Ultimately, your brother will be better off with this in his rearview mirror, but the transition can certainly be rough as countless here among us can testify.

I'm glad to know he has you!

Couple of real gems in the WT study for this upcoming weekend

by sir82 in

since blondie seems to still be on sabbatical, i'll take the liberty of highlighting a couple of "gems" from this week's upcoming study, from the article "reject worldly thinking".. from paragraph 12:.

is it true that succeeding in a secular career that offers power and prestige leads to lasting happiness?

remember that the craving to control others and the longing to be admired are the desires that enticed satan, but he is angry, not happy.. .

Thank you Sir82 for your excerpts and analysis.

Let's review: It's a cult!

"And this good news of the loose-fitting pants will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." - ToMo 24:14 rNWT

"Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting multi-colored socks that cause desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place (let the reader use discernment), then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains." - ToMo 24:15-16 rNWT

Broken Dreams

by compound complex in

i am adrift, without rudder, in a sea of broken dreams.. my mind descends into a tangle of seaweed, which pulls my.

hapless frame downward into a black and sinister realm that.

holds its jailed without pity, with scant hope of future release.. i do love the land and all her beauty but fear the sea; i'm no.

jp1692

One day, yes. One day.

Till then: May courage fill our hearts and conviction empower our souls.

Ne’er again will I allow another to command me.

I am the captain of my soul. I recognize no one as superior to me. No one.

I will stand tall; I will be free.

I would rather die on my feet then live on my knees.

ToMo seems to have lost a step.

What kind of God worries about the kind of pants you wear?

What a completely fucked-up religion.

Glad I’m outta this cult!

Leaked 2018 Elders Training Video RE: Elders Reviewing Pionieers

by pale.emperor in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhq5viughny&feature=youtu.be.

quite frankly im disturbed at the lack of love and compassion.

especially for the first sister they talk about!.

jp1692

Stuck: Is this one of those videos where they show what NOT to do?

LOL. You might be right. The trouble is that—unless they tell us which it is—it’s impossible to tell them apart!

It’s the WT version of Poe’s Law turning on them. Oh the irony.

How weird that it begins with two of the "elders" admitting they hadn't read all the directions!

That's a real WTF moment?!?

The WTBTS always takes every possible opportunity to make everyone of its members--EVERYONE--feel like no matter what you do, or how much you do, it's never enough!

This "You're a pathetic piece of shit" moment has been brought to you with "warm Christian love" from the Governing Body, Inc.
