I have a sister like that. Molested by our elder father (presiding overseer when he was finally outed). He got a slap on the wrist. She's still a uber dub. They go to the same Hall. Neither talk to me.

My Pseudo-Education Hasn't Hurt Me None, I Can Still Read the Writing on King Belshazzar's Wall~Part III
by TMS inbefore i go to extreme south texas, let me acknowledge an early influence that gave me self-worth, self-assurance, self-esteem and the feeling that i was as good as any damn person on this planet.. larry ranch, my congregation servant in renton, washington(home of boeing aircraft), was on my dad's judicial committee.
my dad had sexually molested my sister, sandy, repeatedly.
my dad got probation from the judicial committee.

Witness Carts - A Vehicle for Significant Decline
by slimboyfat ini was stalking to a jw today about her recent experience on the carts and with being a jw generally.
until this conversation i considered the carts as just an ineffective preaching method and a harmless waste of time.
but now i wonder if the effect of the carts might be to produce noticeable decline in jw numbers.

Cart witnessing creates class distinctions among the Jws. Metropolitan witnessing is for kingdom evangelizer grads, cart witnessing is for pioneers and well spoken of publishers. Door to door is reserved for slackers and undercover apostates.
Whats Metropolitan witnessing? How is it different from cart witnessing?

The battle lines are being drawn
by hillfy333 inwith the new rc conventions making their rounds, much has been leaked in regards to their loyalty videos.
disturbing is the ramping up of hatred and shunning towards those who have faded, especially if such ones according to the watchtower are living in sin, but have not been found guilty as yet by the judicial process.
certainly of the criteria of guilt, is talking against the gb, which i personally come under.

If the GB is stressing the need to shun family members who have DF/DA/faded, it's because they see it as a serious threat. They have demonstrated that they are more reactive than proactive these days. They think that upping the pressure will solve the problem, we'll see.

These videos are doing a great job in conveying just how loopy their beliefs are. It's one thing to write about hiding in your basement when the end comes or living in some fantasy Earthly paradise in books and magazines that no one besides JW's will ever read. But now they are putting out these wacky videos that will make no sense to non-cult members. Same with the video on shunning or how to find a marriage mate. It makes them look even more non-mainstream.

Someone anonymously tipped the elders?
by raven inso here an update on my current situation, in a nutshell i've been trying to quietly fade for the past 5 months.. well, my mom somehow found out that i am currently fading and that i live with my boyfriend (for more info on this check my previous posts) i told her yes i live with him and yes i no longer want to be a jw.
anyways, yesterday she met my boyfriend.. awkward.
and after lunch she pulled me aside to tell me that the po came up to her (he was part of my jc when i was reproved) he said to her "someone came to me and said - i cannot say who so they will remain anonymous- but that your daughter is living with someone" my mom confirmed and apparently he told her that i have one week to confess this, and if i don't my parents are obligated to tell them everything.. what kind of nonsense is that?

I'm sorry but how can you be raised as a witness, baptized as a witness, and not realize that your mom is going to feel obliged to report any kind of "wrongdoing" to the elders??? That's how JWs think, that's what they're programmed to do. They're a cult.
Dont play their games. Don't admit to anything. If they stop by, be friendly but evasive, don't let them inside. If they call and want to set up a meeting, either politely decline or accept but just forget to actually show up. Any way you could just move again, maybe change your phone number too(without telling your mom, the informant)?

Field Service Privilege Can Be Taken Away Due to Hairstyle and Tight Pants???
by Wild_Thing inmillie2105 hours agohere is something i just found out this week.former belief - field service is a publishers inalienable right new belief - field service privilege can be taken away if person styles hair or wears clothing in a way that is deemed metrosexual.i was pretty much dumbfounded.. this was posted on another thread, so i decided to start a new topic about this.
i think this is amazing!
i wish this was in place when i was a kid.

Haven't there been at least a couple court cases where they have argued that a witness out in field service is engaging in a completely personal activity not directed by them or under their supervision? I think it was a case where a Bethelite was driving and got in an accident while out in service.
If they can forbid someone from going in field service, then that seems to contradict the above argument. They sure like to have it both ways.

Well, they came again. Really this time an Elder.
by rebelfighter inso after the 2 special pioneers visited i thought i had given them an earful about the arc and the pedophile problem in their organization surely they would have put me on the do not call list.. oh, no not my luck i get an elder and his lovely little mute wife with infant child in the stroller this morning at 9 am.
don't these people have a job to go to?
it was a car with 3 men & a woman.. we go through the standard do you read the bible yada yada, i tell them i know the routine very familiar with your game.

So what exactly did Jackson lie about in his testimony? Watching hours and hours of those videos is not my idea of fun. Is there a TL:DR version somewhere?

They are cranking up the dial on the crazy with this video. How can anyone watch this nonsense and not laugh at the ridiculousness of it all??
The whole idea of faithful dubs hiding out in their basements as Armageddon breaks out is hard to swallow in the first place, just in print. Now they are making videos actually portraying this scenario?? Way to try to go more mainstream Watchtower!!

I remember hoping Armageddon wouldn't come before Star Trek II, Star Trek III, Empire Strikes Back, etc. It sounds so stupid now. It's 2016, how can anyone still be a JW????
