Ranting
by FedUpJW inplease excuse me for long-winded ranting.
i know, as do most of us here that "love" is not something that the jdub's are known for except in their deluded, feeble minds.. i can handle their hypocrisy when it is directed at me, but when it is aimed at family who for decades have genuinely been the type of jw that the watchtower presents to the public, and when it is motivated by pure hate, then i get pissed!.
my mother was dunked in the 1940's and my father in the 1950's.

I know there are some who will comment they got what they deserved. You have that right. I know there are some who will question why I still live over one thousand miles away. You also have that right, and I have my reasons. All I can say for now is I hope that IF there is a god he will payback ten-fold the misery these hypocrite JW's have heaped on my parents, and now my father!
I'm so sorry to hear this story. It makes me very sad and think about my own parents who have the same way of thinking and acting.
In my opinion, anyone who may think that they deserve that is just not educated on the things that brainwashing and negative influence make people do. Please know that there's not a lot that one can do once they are set to do everything around that organization. They seem like very good people and at least had the wisdom to invest in their future. I guess they didn't buy into the 1975 nonsense, since they both worked and provided for their families.
It is just heartbreaking see this happening. Know that yours are not the only parents in that same boat, victimized by the WT, and further victimized by sick amoral people in their so-called congregation.

Today at the service group the elder leading couldn't figure out which was which. He was trying to convince us that the memorial was at the new moon.
Those are the men that Jehovah chose to advice us on major life decisions. We are not to question them, and we have to abide anything they come up with as an answer to every aspect of our lives. Doing so will guarantee eternal life in paradise!
I need some Purell after typing this.

Tell him to keep his nose clean there is still lot of boozing, drugs and loose sexual behavior on campuses which should be expected since most Universities and their adjacent dooms are full of young inexperienced and experimenting adolescents.
A preconceived self awareness to these facts can be a valuable acceptance while there.
Nonsense. Tell him to make responsible decisions about everything, including sex, use of drugs, and the kinds of people that he allows in his life, that includes religious people in campus that recruit for harmful organizations like the WT.
Instead of being narrow about sex is this, drugs are that, reinforce his self-love and self esteem, and that way he will be responsible in any decision he makes. Also make sure that he has good education about the problems that abuse of drugs cause, and the problems that irresponsible or risky sexual behavior can cause, some of them permanent.
FEAR doesn't work. Telling him "this is bad", doesn't work either. reinforcing being responsible with himself because he's worth it does wonders and he applies that principle to everything.
Regarding the educational college experience, I'll give the same advice my father gave me. It was one simple word: learn.

That's what entities in the real estate business, like the WT, do, sell properties for profit.

And as always, at the start, "no videos or recordings are to be made".
No evidence that they said what they said, as in...
How one non believer paid the postage on all letters to Russia that one kh wrote.
Yeah right, like to see the proof of that
Do the math.

Reading Journal To Bethel
by Cold Steel inray publisherer interviewed one-time bethelite peon "brock talon" about four years ago and i'm now reading talon's book journey to bethel.
for those of you who may not be jws (and even those who were and are), that journey provides a fascinating insight into the pecking order at "god's house"... at least how it was in the early 80s.
and it's a book even the rank-and-file faithful would find amusing.
