I got to give a speech at the University of Louisville today about JWs and Propaganda

by dubstepped in

today my wife and i went to college.

although not allowed to go to college as jws we got to lead a class today and it was really special to be able to do that.

the class was an honors class on social media and psychology and i created a presentation around the propaganda and manipulation used against us as jws.

My face in real life

by blisterfeet in

so after years of being out of the orginization, and using a pseudonym i have put my face out there for the world to see.

the repercussions have been real.

but i am also convicted in my stance.

I enjoyed the video and it was a pleasure to see a knowledgeable interviewer on the subject of JW`s conducting it .

I just have one small gripe.If i had no knowledge of the JW religion at all , and I watched this video I would have got the impression that she cut herself off from her own family after leaving the religion .

Nowhere did she say that they her family shunned her or disowned her for leaving the religion .

I tried to look at it as though I was someone who didnt know anything about JW`s and that`s what I came away with.

Otherwise I truly enjoyed the whole presentation.

And good luck to you m` lady ,I wish you well.

The Watchtower logically prefers everyone that knows TTATT to disfellowship themselves

by enigma1863 in

every active jw that stays in hiding their knowledge about ttatt is a hole in the watchtower wall.

i propose those who can stay in, should, especially if they have high positions.

how else can we know what they are up to?

I can see value in that now to some extent ,however I do believe its something they themselves have to experience that will wake them up and not something someone says to them .

"Be Strong!"---SAD

by eyeuse2badub in

attended the sad yesterday with my wife.

bethel speaker flown in to california which made it "special".

(his talks were infomercial bs, but at least he was a good speaker.

This may reflect my lack of faith, but I was at Whole Foods yesterday and bought 3 green bananas. I hope I did not waste my money.

How many times has so many of us had these sentiments / views over the years and we have still had the time to eat the fruitage and no such prophecy by the WT/JW religion has ever come to fruition .?
