  A woman without a voice

  this is my story in a nut-shell.

  i hope some of you can relate.

  if you can..i would love to hear from you.. i have been crushed and heartbroken more times than i can recount by a religion that claims to be based totally on love and mercy and most of that harm has come from the so called "shepherds" who or are supposed to lovingly take the stray lambs in their arms and lead them gently back to safety.

  Thank you for sharing your story. Yes, I think that your stories have quite a few elements that many of us relate to in one way or another.

  Once again, thank you.

  I had a link to a website from Canada that features documentaries on pretty much every subject. I'm sure you will find some that you may like. However, I can't find the link. I'll send it to you as soon as I find it (I really need to organize my bookmarks).

  i hated the rules that are set by jws.. like video games they say all the time ''we are not saying give up all video games''etc.but from all they list as a game you cant play you might as well stop playing.. when it comes to movies i get really mad im a big fan of stephen king's it but oh no cant see that.but i hear later that some other jws talk about how good the movie was and they saw it.. im so done.

  They never say to give up anything. They are stupid in that respect.

  Episode Three - Emily is shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses - Is now live!

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  there are many ways to be shunned as one of jehovah’s witnesses.

  emily’s story highlights a path that many take, a path of personal growth with stumbles along the way that result in ostracism, a path that deviates from the prescribed path of a cult that requires everyone to walk the same or face the consequences.

  this story shines a light on the spectrum of the jw experience.. you can subscribe on itunes (apple podcasts), google play, or wherever you get your podcasts.. you can also stream directly from my website, and leave comments of support for emily and see what song she picked as one that signified her journey at:.

  As much as JWs claim not to be part of the world, they are. There's no difference between them and the rest of the world. They claim that they don't do anything wordly, but the reality is that in that organization you find the same thing that you find outside, good people and bad people.

  That means that every time you want to find out "What do Jehovahs Witnesses do about..." whatever, please keep that in mind. They are pretend set apart from the world, but they aren't. The answer is always the same that the rest of the world does.

  Living with non belivers

  by Blade666 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my question is can you as a jw live on same premises as a non jw.... in split house/property with no sexual relations or anything involved... i am being forced to move due to a "sister" wanting to go back to her god and has made the point of saying she cannot have a male around.

  even though the property itself is split with seperate access for both parts of the house.. she has put a blanket rule out saying the whole property itself... doesnt make sense to me nor to any of the elders i have spoken to regarding the matter.. yes i called them as i know next to nothing about the faith.. .

  i find it strange that two elders urge a non jw to seek justice from fair trading and rental tribunal as they themselves do not belive the actions of the "sister" in question or her family to be correct or right... .

  First, that sister is full of shit. There's no JW anything that forces her to not have a male roommate. Second, she's full of shit again because she's using the JW crap as an excuse to be a perfect bitch. If at all, she's the one that should leave, not you. She's changing the terms of the living arrangement, not you, so she's the one that should leave.

  Sue her ass. That's sex discrimination.

  Hugh Hefner died a few weeks back but no post on it. Interesting.

  i bring this up because like me i sure many of the men who was kids in the wt cult got their first taste of what a nude women looked like.

  it was the adolescent male sex education for most of us.

  one friend i had who's dad was a elder told me they always had playboys in his house because his dad subscribed to them.

  With all this said i feel the emasculating of male's who were raised in this cult have suffered sexual repression.
  

  You are kidding, right? I can tell that you didn't grow up as a woman, a gay man, or a person with a disability in that organization. It is an oppressive, controlling organization.

  You suffered the effects of a controlling groups, like everybody else in that organization, but last time I checked, the entire structure is based on male dominance. Look at the place where they expect other people (who are not heterosexual males) to be in that structure.

  Regarding sexual repression, I agree that the WT has no clue about a whole lot of things, and that includes healthy, basic human sexuality. It is made of a bunch of heterosexual (or perceived to be) men with no advanced education and no interest in learning anything new, nor in innovation of any kind. They do not know anything about basic human sexuality, they know nothing about managing their own organization, they are obsessed with controlling the lives of their followers, and some of their claims and teachings are just downright stupid.

  And since they make people's life decisions their business, of course they are going to cause harm on people in every aspect, since they want to control every aspect of people's lives.

  They expect their followers to die before believing anything other than the crap that they teach. What can you expect from that mentality? Of course they are twisted with information about human sexuality.

  Astro-theology and dates concerning Jesus the moon god?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have done a lot of research over the years in to jesus and how he related to other older gods and astro-theology.

  many who have looked in to this before me have stated that jesus is a retelling of a son god.

  they talk about horus and quote scriptures where jesus is alluded to being the sun of god as much as the son of god.

  I can not find any other reasons that make sense as to why Jesus was killed at 33 and dead for three days in the spring.
  

  It could also be that that's when people had it with him, and nothing more.

  That may be just protocol, pretending to give an eff about each other.
