Donate blood, you just saved a worldly person's life and committed the unforgivable sin against the Gooberning Body. Peace. -

Jehovah's Witness Teens 13 and 10 Commit Suicide in Wisconsin
by Tenacious ini found the following story while researching the jw mindset and subsequent behavior due to their weekly exposure to mind control techniques.
the story is a bit old but it does speak volumes in terms of the mental anguish the average jw teen must endure as a jw.
links to website and original newspaper follow:.

I didn't read the whole thing but I remember back in '96 or '97 a young 17 year old kid from my hall laid down on the train tracks and killed himself. It turned out he was gay and his mother told him to straighten out or leave. That was all it took. -

Aliens exist and YHWH (Jehovah) was one of them.
by Jehovah Was An Alien in"the constellation of the seven stars forming the pleiades appears to be the crowning centre around which the known system of the planets revolve even as our suns planet obey the sun and travel in their respective orbits.
it has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of jehovah and the place of the highest heavens; that is the place to which the inspired writer referred to when he said: "hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven" (2 chronicles6:21) ; and that it is the place to which job referred when under inspiration he wrote: "canst thou blind the sweet influences of pleiades, or loose the bands of orion" – job 38:31"
the constellation of the pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.

There's this crazy dude at my work and he's been pimping flat earth theory to everyone. He has literature, videos, quotes from the Quran, and all kinds of crazy ass stuff and it is amazing how much conviction this dude has. But I'm with WTWizard on this tho. Peace. -

I remember back in the day when you would see someone with a NO Blood card and you knew right away they were JWs. There was a brother in my old hall who had these NO Blood keyrings made and he was selling them for $30. We all knew he paid $5 to have them made. Always looking to make a buck off a brother. Where's the love? Peace. -

Only a few days ago I was entirely lost and without hope the rug was pulled out from under me
by elderess inonly a few days ago i was walking around the house in a mindless wander thinking if i needed to seek professional help.
then i got the courage to seek the comfort of complete strangers on the internet and found a world of support here on this website.
thank you simon and whoever else has made this website possible.

From my own personal experience I think 20% of all JWs know TTATT but nobody wants to be the first to admit that they know. Its a game. -

Today's Daily Text - Being Uneducated And Ordinary... WTF!!!
by Divergent inthursday, march 3. they were uneducated and ordinary men.—acts 4:13.. in recent years, the spiritual instruction provided by jehovah’s organization has reflected an increased emphasis on simplicity and clarity.
consider three examples.
first, there is the simplified edition of the watchtower.

So, the Day Text says that the simplified WT is a good thing, helping people that have difficulty reading.
Instead of encouraging people to read more & become better readers, go back to school, or get a good education, they'd rather dumb down so that all who have reading difficulties can be equally crap at reading.
Nothing this org does surprises me anymore.

Sounds like the way the welfare system in America is set up to keep the minorities on the ghetto plantations.

Dumbed down people are easier to manipulate. Let's recap: no going on the internet to do your own research. No asking valid but controversial questions that might threaten the powers of the Governing Body. Discourage college for members, but encourage more time in brainless activities like building kingDUMB halls and field service. Discourage all critical thinking and private group discussions of WT doctrine. And the best is making everything that sheds light on the WT cult as being evil and from Satan. They like their sheep castrated and blind. -

It's not that easy man. Either they are not there or they are good at hiding it. I was a fader for almost 2 years and during that time I was awake, I was an MS, gave comments, did field service, manned the literature counter and all that shit. I can remember though singing my own lyrics to the songs and laughing to myself to keep my sanity. Unless you can read their mind it is tough. Peace.
