  i have no room to keep this stuff. I would like to sell everything, possibly by date. Such as, the 1940’s, 1950’s, etc. I would prefer to sell within the continental US. Any takers? If you send me a private message, I can be more specific.

  where did this phrase 'in the truth' come from?.

  it's been around as long as i can remember.

  is it from the time they were promoting 'the truth shall make you free' book back in 1943?

  https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-art-of-critical-thinking/202502/evaluating-the-effects-of-mandated-shunning.

  key points.

  mandated shunning is a hate crime, employed by high-control religious groups to maintain membership.. a new research study, led by the university of roehampton, is seeking to quantify the psychological impact.. the research group is calling for case studies and survey responses to aid its investigation..

  I hate this phrase, also. In fairness, I was watching Sister Wives on TV, and Kody Brown called his form of religion “the truth”. And when he said it, I watched his eyes glaze over, just as though he was in a cult!

  I’m a born in from the early 1960’s, and this phrase pre dates me, so it’s been used for a long time.

  JW Lawyer in Norway uses "theocratic warfare" to conceal the org's controlling language!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the org's vocabulary, the term "independent thinking" is applied pejoratively to any jw who thinks & reasons for themselves.

  the org's lawyer knew exactly what he was doing in court when he voiced his carefully prepared words:.

  "watchtowers lawyer anders ryssdal compares jehovah’s witnesses’ baptism to the norwegian state church’s confirmation of 15-year-olds, arguing that their baptism is no different.

  They conveniently leave out parents who tell their kids that, if they are not baptized by age 18, they are kicked out. I had so much pressure put on me to get baptized because Armageddon was coming in 1975, and I “knew” the truth, so if I was not baptized, I would likely be killed at Armageddon. I absolutely DID NOT want to get baptized.

  2. scandals

  a secretive christian church that is extremely similar in beliefs to jw religion, and has a surprising global reach is at the center of an fbi investigation for csa.

  the religious group goes by multiple names, such as "the truth" and "two-by-twos.

  "as child sex abuse allegations aimed at the church continue to come to light, we are learning more about the organization.
