How Do You Know You Are In The Wrong Religion?
by Vanderhoven7 ini believe this list which many of us worked on needs to see the light of day again...and added to if possible.. you know you are in the wrong religion:1. when the all important question is not: "do you believe in the lord jesus christ?"....but....
"do you believe in the "faithful and discreet slave" appointed in brooklyn in 1919?"2.
when you will be refused baptism if: a. you don't believe jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bc (whereas all non-jw scholars, all encyclopedias and all history books say this event took place in 587 bc.)b.

Very Interesting Post...
by XBEHERE inand then, for two years…..nothing happened.until they pretended everything was normal and sent everyone back to the hamster wheel.
back to meetings, back to d2d, back to assemblies & conventions.
everyone, get back on the hamster wheel, and don’t you dare complain or try to get out of it by using zoom.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/14fhe4y/exercise_patience_classic_gaslighting_from_wt/ .

My mother thought that Covid was the end. I told her she was wrong, asked her if they thought 9/11 was the end…she denied it. 🤨

Plus, some of these conventions are being held at the local Assembly Hall, not an arena. Like Janesville WI.

Watchtower (Study) August 2023 gaslighting and deflecting again.
by was a new boy in'they turn the story around to make it seem like you are at fault, deflecting attention and blame away from them to make you feel guilty.
this type of emotional manipulation is called gaslighting.. .
deflection is manipulation, and if it's coupled with other toxic relationship behaviors, it may be necessary to remove yourself from the situation.'.

My mom was one of those kids, BethSarim. She is almost 87, waiting to learn how to play piano in the “new system.” 😢 I was never allowed to develop my interests, either.

How many new converts do you remember as a JW?
by SydBarrett ininspired by the "whats the reason you think jw's are in decline" thread.
my belief is that almost all the growth, at least in the western world is due to jw's having kids.
i was a 4th generation jw from birth till about age 20, so the timeframe i can comment on would be my teen years.

I remember one woman who converted in the early 70’s. They interviewed her on stage, they were so happy to convert someone from the “world”. Her story was that she had engaged in wild orgies, etc. as a worldly person. At about age 10, that is how I learned what an orgy was. She ended up disfellowshipped 3 months later. I guess those orgies were really good. Never saw that woman again.
