by minimus in

jw

witnesses brag about their brotherhood and incredible love that exists within the organization.

they say they are really the only true religion.

is the jw religion the closest thing to jesus christ himself?.

R movies

by longday in

ok i know from being in the cult for many years some will watch r movies and just do it on the down low at home.

i know of some who would walk out of a room or leave if someone played an r movie when they were visiting.

my ex partner who was an elder would walk out of a room if anyone played anything that was remotely questionable.

My mom took me to see Carrie when we were on vacation out of state. I loved it, later said I identified with Carrie with the odd religion, she took offense at that, didn’t see the similarities. I was 12 years old.

A Witness on Facebook posted why JW is not a cult!

Sounds like this Facebook poster is trying hard to convince themselves this is NOT a cult. And, number 15, 1.8 billion hours spent preaching, ha! Sooo many pad their time, or just make it up.

How Should Houses of Worship Protect Themselves Against Shooters?

by minimus in

jw
friends

is there a way?

these madmen go into soft areas knowing they only will have firepower to inflict their damage.

i think people better start thinking ahead about what they can do to protect themselves..

Someone close to me has concealed carry, he brings his gun to church.

Just wondering. . .for those that are Ex-Elders . . .

by HappyBlessedFree in

did your conscience ever bother you when you were counseling/reproving/disfellowshipping ones in the congregation?

did it feel extreme or justified based on your biblical understanding at the time.

also are there any ex-elders here that dealt with child abuse accusations?

Biahi

I think my elder dad protected me, I guess I would have been disfellowshipped, I moved 30 miles away, never moved my files, never attended again. They were not happy. At my dads funeral, at the KH, I was there, with my worldly husband, and 2 year old child, I saw 2 elders commiserate, see if they could “get” me. The other looked at the size of my husband and shook his head “no”.
