  so i posted yesterday.

  my boyfriend and i have been living together for a year, and he went to the memorial tonight (sorry if that’s not what it’s called).

  i told him i was upset he didn’t invite me but wasn’t going to tell him not to go because he hasn’t talked to his family for over a year.

  Sorry that you'r going through rough times. If you are fighting all the time, maybe the JW thing isn't the issue. Would you consider talking to a professional in marriage counseling? Not everything bad that happens in a relationship has to do with the WT.

  Having a talk with him about topics that aren't comfortable without it escalating into a fight is something that many couples struggle with, and that has nothing to do with him being a JW.

  last night's memorial talk in my cong went into graphic gruesome details about the torture of jesus and how the stake killed people.

  i mean medical level graphic description!

  step by step details of each injury and how it killed!

  I wondered how the kids and new ones in the audience were taking this? I found it quite disturbing, so I shudder to think what effect it had on the kids!?
  

  The same way they do when they hear about fornication, bestiality, the destruction of the world as they know it, that they will be killed if they don't do something that they don't understand, and the graphic descriptions that they give like the one of a prostitute having sex with a dragon.

  The WT doesn't give fuck about children. They can't care less.

  It was kind of nice, but it was all a show to get me to come back and I just don't know how to feel about that.
  

  Thank you for sharing. Good that you had a little normalcy with your family. Sad that it has to be under those circumstances.

  Vast Apostate Army handout

  by Bill3rd in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  to whom it may concern : after seeing the expose' on ctv`s program w5 called "no witnesses", i would like to find some way to obtain a few copies of the handouts which were used by the "vast apostate army".

  can anyone send me a contact email to the "vast apostate army" and to zeb leatherman or parker bryan or tricia franginha ( spelling ?

  t. just today i watched the "recruitment video" for the "vast apostate army"; the sound quality on my laptop was not the greatest but i say kudos to all those mostly younger people and a couple middle aged guys for taking this stand.. for a few years i have been in fairly regular contact by email with rev.

  Some contact with activist ex-JWs who would contact a family member in Vancouver B.C. who is still frighteningly naive about JWs.
  

  Intervening in people's private lives without their permission, so they can join another religious organization? I don't think so.

  I do find his vehicle and the box in the back a little creepy. I guess I've been watching Investigation Discovery too much.

  "Abuse of creation", as if building that "Ark" isn't. Just a 3D visual of the same bible nonsense.

  Thanks for the video.

  Religion Project

  by Darren Doody in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've recently taken a particular interest in the jehovah's witness belief, and as a result, have decided to do a project on this belief as part of my college study.

  i am a student teacher in ireland, so, i am undertaking this project from an educational perspective; i want to see how jehovah's witnesses are catered for in religious education in schools, and if there are any ways one could improve it.

  i would appreciate if anyone could give their opinion on this topic.

  I want to see how Jehovah's witnesses are catered for in religious education in schools, and if there are any ways one could improve it. I would appreciate if anyone could give their opinion on this topic. I am focussing particularly on how they are represented in the Irish Education system, but replies from any region would be so greatly appreciated
  

  Interesting topic. I'm going to have to ask my Irish friends about it. Also, are you focusing on a particular area of education? Any specific sector? Is it private or public education? At what level (early childhood, middle school, college, etc)?

  Heart wrenching letter

  i don't know why i read this stuff it makes me so upset 😅 but although it's sad and frustrating it also is encouraging in a way:.

  I think the letters are good for people who might be considering doing the same. Also good for many PIMO people not to feel isolated.

  That's the frustrating part, knowing that you can talk til you're blue in the face, but it will likely only be met by a pair of glazed eyes.
  

  Just because we don't see some kind of Eureka moment, doesn't mean that it has no effect. It's a cult, people are brainwashed, are biased and influenced, and convinced that anything outside is an attack. But they are still human beings. They read, think and question (even if they themselves don't even notice).

  Memorial

  by whatisthis12 in

  2. relationships

  so i’ve been dating my boyfriend for over a year.

  he left the jehovah witness community and we have been living together for one year.

  he hasn’t kept in contact with his family because he was disfellowshipped and hasn’t gone to any meetings.

  should i be worried?
  

  I would be, but looking at the bigger picture. Was his relationship with you the reason for him getting disfellowshipped?

  Also, you should be able to just ask. I think the suggestion of asking if you could go too is good, but (IMO) that should be a second question, not the first. Trying to find out how he feels or what is the rationale behind him going to the memorial here is only guessing.

  Talk to him about it. He may need to know that you are supportive of him.
