I did have a few "near life experiences" as you define them. In some cases my father beat the hell out of me for it, and in some cases I got away with having a few glimpses of having my own space.

Born ins: did you have "near life experiences"?
by truthseeker ini recently watched the 90s movie fight club for the first time and heard the phrase "near life experience.".
for me, a different definition of this phrase would be someone who grew up in the truth and led a very secluded and restricted life (like me) but on rare occasions actually experienced something that was considered quite normal by most people.. growing up in "the troof" was depressing.
it was characterized by long periods of loneliness.

Disfellowshiped- reinstated- damaged
by Damaged indon’t know how i ended up here but no one who understands will listen, or any one who will listen doesn’t understand.
i grew up in the “truth”, i was baptised at 17 as it was encouraged by the elders.
i really didn’t understand what i was getting into.

how do I start to rebuild my life? My family one day cut me out of my life on the say so of a old man, my friends shunned me. That day everyone died I’ve spent 10months mourning them.
Hello. I think that you just started. Please expect a PM from me.

You won't believe this ... Jehovah's rich blessing has befallen me !!!
by dubstepped inmy dad died a couple years back (not how you thought this would start, i know).
he was an elder, and a very emotionally abusive father, well before the point where he ever shunned me.
he died pretty much penniless, and never would buy life insurance or anything.

Ask Jehovah and ye' shall receive, bitches! Lol! Thank you Jehovah for your rich blessings. I can now get my apostate podcasts transcribed. Thanks dad! It's the best thing you ever gave me. The timing here is irrefutable proof that if you ask for what you need, the universe provides.
Amazing story. I plan to use any money that my father claims will leave to his children to donate it to a shelter for people in domestic violence situations.
I guess their Jehovah does provide! Thanks for sharing this. Feels great to use money that comes from them for things that are more personally rewarding.

Not really. I don't see how that relates to the WT at all.

Why Do People Oppose Jehovah's Witnesses?
by BlackSpirit injesus christ, the son of the most high god, jehovah has this to say: "if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.
now because you are no part of the world, but i have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

Jesus Christ, the son of the Most High God, Jehovah has this to say: "If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you. Keep in mind the word I said to you: A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have observed my word, they will also observe yours." - John 15:18-20
The inference I draw from the Holy Scriptures quoted above is that Jehovah's Witnesses are opposed because they actually have God's and Christ's endorsement and approval.
I don't oppose to the JWs; I just can't stand shit like what you posted, and the entitled attitude that comes with it. Fuck you, you're a big fat nobody.

Anybody else notice the NWT bible on the cover of June 1, 2018 Newsweek?
by Wild_Thing init was supposed to be a striking image to portray how persecuted they are.
it looks like just another elder using his bible to me.. read more about it, here: http://www.newsweek.com/behind-scenes-newsweeks-international-june-1-cover-art-960456.

Makes it a perfect cover. Photographically speaking, I'd choose that bible for the composite. It's a great shot.

Fox Has a 3 Part Series on Hasidic Jews
by minimus inyesterday they started a three part series on hasidic jews living mostly in brooklyn and new jersey and how they take advantage of the system and at the same time rule with an iron hand for bidding the use of modern technology, smart phones, tv etc .
if you think the witnesses are bad, take a look at them.
they ostracize you and kick your children out of their schools and treat you as nonexistent !

Thanks. I'll see if I can get to watch it.
I know that there are much worse cults out there. However, that doesn't cancel out what the WT does to their people. It is and feels as bad.
I mention this not because you wrote something wrong, but because some people might use the now typical "what about..." thing as an excuse to minimize the bad negative influence that the WT has on people (to various degrees). Just because others are more obvious or more physically harmful, that doesn't mean that the being a JW is a breeze.

LOL! Great chart. As always, I don't quite fit in any of the boxes, starting with the first one.
Thanks.
