  US & UK difference

  by Olig in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i was wondering, is there a difference between the baseline attitudes of jw's in the us and the uk?

  i hear tonnes and tonnes of experiences regarding elders chasing people up and hounding them.

  and people having to devote their lives to fading out.

  as you are completely barred from talking or being involved in politics while in the org, since leaving has anyone started any political campaigning or activism?

  also what way would you lean?

  so i've just seen a snippet of a new convention release, and it's obviously a reenactment (bloody poor one - look at the state of the disposable beards lol!

  ) of bible times.. the chap speaking is heard saying if your family members turn away and serve false gods, you should kill them!.

  the title instantly made me think it was a jw but turns out just a 'normal' christian.

  wouldn't surprise me tho.. og.

  Maybe it could be worse...

  so i just watched a documentary on netflix called "the end of the world cult" about some geezer named wayne bent (self proclaimed as michael travesser).

  some of the stuff this guy says is absolutely unbelievable, and made me seriously think that there are some god awful cults out there, and made me think my time in the jw's (however boring and restrictive) wasn't all so bad... has anyone else seen this?

  does anyone have any recommendations on other documentaries of the like??

  Good strategy?

  by Olig in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so obviously the best way to leave properly is fading, that's a given i would have thought?.

  however i'm in a situation where i'm not sure what to do... i've just left home, nobody bar my parents / gparents know my address.

  at my parents request they asked if i would switch my cards over to the closer kingdom hall.
