  Making friends in the "truth"

  by Jordandemm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what is it about making friends in the organisation am i the only one who had found it tough?

  don't get me wrong there was some good people but unfortunately there was also a lot of egotism, back stabbing, jealousy and gossiping.

  i could never really fit in any group, everytime i thought i had found a group it was as if i would be sidelined or ditched.

  I think, there's a structure:

  1) Nuts

  2) Low Level Believers (think it's the truth but don't study anything)
  

  3) Believers (think it's the truth and study only jw-books)
  

  4) Hardcore-JWs (don't think and study hard)
  

  And here is the problem with the teaching:
  

  1) You avoid them, because they nuts.

  2) You look for them too dub-style.

  3) You look too much like 2) or 4)

  4) You only access this area if you be a pioneer or so.

  At the end, it's all based on fear. If you low-level you be connected, if you a hi one also. Everything in between mostly screwed.

  hello everybody,i've been lurking for a while and since i really adore reading the biggest part of the posts, especially this italian ( american) guy about his experiences at bethel in the 70's, i feel a little bit guilty for not participating with my contribute.

  i am really so sorry for the people that are suffering because of the wts.my story is a " happy ending " story, i married a jw almost 30 years ago and i am here to tell that we are still very happy.

  she is very liberal and our 3 kids are " normal ".

  Almost three months since Crisis of Conscience Cease and Desist

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am very interested in getting crisis of conscience being fully available as soon as possible.

  march 12th will mark exactly three months since the cease-and-desist letter was written.. i understand that things are slow and that deborah may be sick, but i was just wondering if anyone knew the status.

  i have been asked twice already where the book can be obtained in spanish and i have told people that the book is not available.. there are ways to make ebooks extremely hard to share.

  @TTATT

  I read you look also for good books they could help. A book which Ray also used in CoC is "The gentile times reconsidered" from C.O. Jonsson. A book which is only about historical reasons why 607 b.c. can't be correct. Worth to read.

  "Remain loyal to Jehova!" - I think what they mean is: "Don't run away from JW.ORG!"

  She can and should use the argument that you meet in puplic, so she can argue that both of you play after the rules for dating, exept you unbaptized. If there any trouble, but mostly ask after a cong is typical JW-smalltalk. Keep calm.

  And as the others told you: do your research about the teachings. Read "Crisis of considence". Don't do the dip. I caught inside, so belive me, if you trust the bible it don't mean you have to buy the JW-cult.

  What is the motivation behind the JW org?

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the gb has recently said that the brothers are generously contributing lots of money (at gunpoint it seems!

  ) so why with a billion dollar annual income do they demand more cash?

  they have staunched the outward flow of money on paid preachers, zone overseers and bethel expenses and stalled the promised worldwide luxury buildings projects..

  The cover-ups, the ARC, the hearing in UK, hear about a hearing in germany soon - there's so much. Even when the people don't leave, you know the reasons, they vote with the money. Also there lawsuits following the ARC, so they need money the can spend.

  The March JW broadcast, presented by paedophile enabler Geoffery Jackson

  all warm and fluffy this month after the utterly laughable 'bread' broadcast.

  .

  i'll always be grateful to the australian royal commission for allowing us to see this duplicitous, lying, creep, shown up as a snivelling, suck up, asshole, taken completely out of his self appointed authoritarian comfort zone.. anyway, a not too interesting broadcast i have to say..

  this has been tough.

  very tough actually.

  because i'm so integrated into things including certain tasks which i can't say as it would be a dead giveaway i find myself constantly bombarded by things.. i'm literally a lying every day.

  I feel with you. I'm looking for a way to fade, but at the moment: no chance. I can't step down, this will make to much noise. I have make them to kick me for a stupid reason (not enough hours or so). But until today, nothing works. It's so bad.

  You lie, you cheat only to survive all these trash. It's tough.I'm very happy at the moment, I could wake up a friend, or I think so. But only one in a crowd.
