perhaps her cult mode is indicative of her inner turmoil....perhaps she is struggling with making sense of it all...perhaps....the old 'methinx thou dost protest too much 'thing...she may be wanting to be out but the cult mindset is holding her back..after all..what about the headship principle?...why is she being provocative..attacking...?...

Need to vent: Wife just went in full cult mode, huge fight. she is so brainwashed
by goingthruthemotions inout of the blue my wife started to ask me about my feeling about the borg.
i told her i didn't want to talk about it...she persisted.
she already knows how i feel, i told her that my biggest beef is that they use mind control, and yep she went in to how i was an apostate and how she doesn't want to be married to an apostate.

by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker inwho is to blame jehovahs witnesses and the bible students believing the end was coming in 1914?

After Six Months of Hiatus, I can tell you the Watchtower is Starting to Crumble Faster than you think!
by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker ini took a hiatus from jwn because the wall started to collapse because i lost several people ive known almost my entire life.
these were people i thought would never die, the lies told by the watchtower is unforgivable!
there was a party i attended keeping a low profile while documenting what was said.

I often see witness youths on the ministry looking dejected and moving as slow as possible just to fill the hours...they lack any motivation other than the need to be seen to be out...i doubt if they sincerely seek interested ones anymore for the simple reason few people are interested in either the JW message ( whatever that is these days) or religion generally. Even worse is the revolutionary idea(!) of standing on streets etc with a stand/trolley with literature...waiting for people to take them. I asked a friend of mine one day to approach a trolley and ask the trolley attendants about literature and having a study..she was told that they only had literature and dvds for the deaf....!..Seems to me that they are trying to hone in on the 'less able ' in society..the vulnerable.. As for a crumbling wt org the internet and mass flow of unwelcome enlightening information must be affecting many in the org.

Elder Appointments
by MaybeSo indoing some research as to what qualifications someone needs to meet to become an elder, i came up with one conclusion: it's who you know and is very subjective.. funny thing is too, if you searc the wt online library there are not recent articles that describe and outline the requirements.
which makes me think that there were too many requirements and as we all know, it is based now on how close you are with the current co and not necessarily on being a model jw in the congo.
so the borg decided to leave it up all to the co and not tell the rest what to look for on these appointed men.. you could do your hours, be early to the meetings, be prepared, keep your car and house clean, family in good reputation, etc but if you are in the circle then you can forget it.

ah yes..always appear to be doing the right thing...appear to be doing field service....very true in my experience of past elders etc....yes there were genuine ones but a certain recently appointed elder was very good at telling others what to do etc but when it came to going out in 'field service' he made certain he took his time.....

Giant ship vs Noah's Ark
by Simon intake a look at this giant ship that's been built and imagine if would still be large enough to house all the animals on the planet for an extended period of time.. the ship, with modern materials and tools, would take a single person nearly 8,000 years to complete.
how many more people designed it and supplied the materials?
imagine how many trees would be required and how long it would take to transport them alone.. still think noah's ark is feasible?.
