Tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel!

by StephaneLaliberte in

i just watched the movie apostacy and thereby, visited an ancient feeling of mine.

there were various moments where you could tell that the mother and even the “faithful” daughter were bottled up inside with many thoughts and feelings left unsaid.

their basic, normal, human morality immediately tells them that the proper way to act is not that of the wt.

What a great thread! I always thought (as a kid) that there was something wrong with me, because it was "the truth", and yet I found it so abhorrent.

i know this thread has been done before.

however maybe some of the new comers might like to know.. my avatar is the cover of my first novel "your crazy life.

".

My avatar is just what they gave me here. My name, Biahi, stands for Born in, always hated it.

last week i suffered two heart attacks, first one occurred while i was at home, phoned for an ambulance which promptly arrived and whisked me off too hospital, docs decided i needed a stent and during the angioplasty i had a massive heart attack according to the doc that did it.

i was unaware as i was out.

but what i want to say is what an amazing organisation the nhs is.

After watching A&E Leah Remini on Jehovah Witnesses I am going to stop hiding behind my Avatar

just got done watching this program and what impress me the most was the bravery of those x-witnesses to sit there on national tv and tell everyone how the wt.

cult affected them.

no hidden faces, no avatar names and no disguise.

Nice to meet you, David and Barbara!

Mentally diseased ANOINTED!

by Normalfulla in

my aunt is a super uber jw, albeit a little more delusional than the standard issue jw.

she has 4 kids all who are out and never baptised, she's a widow now and sold the family home and has bought a new place and has plenty of cash in the bank.

my cousins are all very concerned because their mum has a new friend whos "anointed" and says jehovah has spoken to her and she will survive armageddon and so will her kids if she sticks close.. she has been paying out for holidays and vehicle repairs for this anointed sister and her extended family and my cousins are alarmed at whats going on and can see the situation for what it is.

Instead of the elders, talk to the police.

Ahmadiyya Muslim Remembrance Day

by barry in

jw
friends

today i met with my friends and attended remembrance day with the ahmadiyya muslims.

the ahmadiyya are not terrorists, they don't believe in killing those that leave their religion,they fly the australian flag and respecter laws.. there was seven of us in total including 1 atheist , three anglicans one a priest , one minister from my former church adventist, and of course two wives that had to sit up the back [just joking].. the ahmadiyya are persecuted in pakistan because they are not considered proper muslims many come to the west as refugees and i believe this is one group we can trust and live with as neighbours.

does anyone have an opinion or contact with this group please share..

Biahi

I've never heard of these people, not sure how to react.

Door-to-door preaching as surveillance

by john.prestor in

i wanted to share some thoughts about jehovah's witnesses and their door-to-door preaching.

door-to-door preaching is supposedly about gathering converts, but in fact, as we frequently discuss, doesn't actually bring that many "sheep-like ones" in.

i want to suggest that a second meaning (what we call the latent meaning in academia) is facilitating surveillance of the congregants who attend some congregation.
