  "when a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try and control how others see you".

  New "paradise" video preview? "Will you be there?"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife (unstuck) just saw a new 2-3 min video in her ex jw facebook feed, depicting a "paradise" scene preview.. it was complete with aerial shots and slow motion montages, with moving music.. scriptures were quoted across the screen, such as rev 21:3,4. i shazamed the music, and it came from another "worldly" album called "world of dreams.future world music" (you should see the song titles from that album!).

  is it an official wt video, or some private persons production?.

  if it is official, they seem to have once again resorted to desperate emotional manipulation tactics..... anyone else know?

  Thank you for helping me through the bad days

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm sure that whatever stage we are at with our journey in leaving the corporation disguised as a religion, aka the watchtower bible & tract society, we have good days and bad days.

  maybe young ones who have managed to escape mentally do not suffer quite as much, or suffer in different ways, but after 40 years of indoctrination, what i now like to call the "machinery of reinforcement" it is unavoidable that you don't have days where your head is messed with.

  yesterday was just such a day for me.

  "It is BECAUSE I value Truth and Honesty that I have chosen to no longer attend"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yes, i used that line when questioned by someone as to why we no longer attend.. it needs to be used calmly and without any arrogance.

  then this direct, yet simple comment can't help but make the person think!.

  Part of Growing Up - Saying Goodbye to Invisible Friends?

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don’t remember having any invisible friends when i was a really little boy, i don’t know if such a thing actually exists, i’ve only ever seen it in movies?

  of course it might have looked to others like i was talking to someone on occasions, but i’m sure it would have just been me talking to myself.

  the thing is though, i got introduced to an invisible friend in my pre-teens, and i kept the relationship going well into adulthood.

  My new answer to an annoying question we have all been asked.

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well new to me anyway, i'm sure someone smarter than me has thought of this before.

  the next time i get asked the perennial (and tired old) question: “but you do believe that the gb are god’s channel of communication, the organisation he is using, don’t you?” or some variation thereof, i am going to reply with two verses and reason as follows:.

  the matter to be established: have the gb of jehovah’s witnesses received divine appointment to act as god’s representatives and channel of communication on earth?.

  My letter to the Australian Royal Commission regarding case study #29 Jehovah's Witnesses

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  someone suggested i would address a letter not only to mr. angus stewart, but also to the royal commission as well.

  it merges the two subjects on the same letter (inactive status and shunning; two witness rule), and adds some things more that what i said to mr. stewart.

  it's a bit long, please bear with me.. --------------------------------------- .

  "You know that the Memorial is April 11 right?"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ah, yes, so mid-way through a conversation about work, a family member just had to say "oh, you know the memorial is tuesday april 11, so i guess you will have to schedule your work so you can make it right?".

  i simply said "oh is it?

  " and then went back to what we were talking about.. has anyone else had the pressure to attend put on them?.

  by koolaid-man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  shocking information near the bottom of this report from a watchtower lawyer definding the organization in australian courts.focus on the information under the heading: "the faithful and discreet slave".

  quite the shocker... the society's lawyer statesthere is no true physical body of people, but only a theological arrangement.

  the jws in the crowd gasped.
