  Have a look at the work of Reza Aslan, makes some interesting points about him being a character that is used for telling stories.

  around memorial time this year, i stated to my nephew on facebook that my sister was brainwashed.

  stupid me putting that on a public forum!

  he was offended because she continues to invite him to the memorial even though he has ptsd from his jw experiences growing up.

  Jehovah's Witnesses mentioned on BBC News site regarding not voting

  by defender of truth in

  1. social
  2. current

  jehovah's witnesses.

  there are about 140,000 jehovah's witnesses in the uk who will choose not to vote on 7 may.. mark o'malley, a spokesman for the christian-based religious movement, said: "as you go through the bible we see that god's kingdom is already established in heaven with god as the king of that kingdom.. "we are politically neutral as, in a sense, we have already chosen to support that kingdom's government.

  we see it as a real government.. "there are limitations to what governments can do, maybe they can improve the health system, but they can't prevent death, maybe they can help children, but they can't provide a secure future for them necessarily.

  They won't vote but quite happy to take all the benefits the government hands out.

  I can't see Data why anyone would take exception to your post, it was an honest post. I can only assume someone pressed dislke by mistake
  

  Back to the OP, did i read right that it was the elders that told the wife about this? Really?? Is that not breaching confidentiality, the very clause they use to evade being questioned by the police about pedophiles?!?!?!

  Thoughts on My Exit

  by losingit in

  2. friends

  it has been some time since i last posted or even visited the site, and i wondered why that was.

  life continued to be difficult without a network of friends to look forward to seeing.

  the novelty of being disfellowshipped wore off, and the mundane advanced as it did every day.

  All the changes

  by vinman in

  2. experiences

  are their any newer people here, who recently found out ttatt, who has been disturbed by all the new changes in the organization?

  it is turning into something that feels impersonal.

  i know change is good.

  I think you'll find throughout their history strange things and changes have prompted members to question their motives and helped them to become free thinkers. Its part of your journey. A lot will question but find it too hard to give up their little bubble, others realise there's a big world out here that isn't as bad as they've been told and burst through.

  New to all of this

  2. experiences

  i was raised in the truth my whole life, my immediate family are jws and my moms mom is a witness as well as my fathers mom.

  other than that the rest of my family are non jws.

  i was raised very balanced, my parents never forced the truth on me or my siblings like most of my friends parents did getting baptized at ridiculous ages!

  Welcome Mr T, an encouraging first post. When I was in it was stressed you must be whole hearted and even then you might not make it through the big A. Is that different now? Will token service get you through? I couldn't reconcile how half hearted ones thought they'd make it, I was all in, now I'm all out!
