Hated the recommended lodging list and all the stupid rules about using it. It never failed that even if you called immediately after scanning the list and jotting down some numbers and hurrying home( before the days of cell phones, of course), all the best places were already booked up.

Perfect Example of JW Dumbing Down
by thedepressedsoul injust take a look at this video.
i think arguing or debating scriptures is the most pointless thing ever.
everything at their meetings are so basic with no explanation.

Showing a video from a tablet, that's really lame. Not having your hard copy Bible with you is inexcusable. However, I don't think the sister did that bad of a job trying to talk to these guys. It's not often you encounter people door to door who aren't completely ignorant about the Bible, it's hard to be prepared for everything they might throw at you. Other than the pointless scrolling she was doing on her tablet, I think she did reasonably well. And those two came off as mansplaining, a lot, when they kept cutting her off. And their beliefs are just as whackadoodle as the JWs. I don't think she was running away as much as just realizing they were never going to agree on much, so move on. Just my impression.

The Shunning truth is now out...
by babygirl30 ini have been df'd for 9yrs as of july 31 (yay me!).
so as i have written about previously in other posts, my whole family (parents + sister) made the choice to treat me as if i do not exist, and i have accepted it.
last summer they made a blatant show of it as our family reunion, in that they would walk right by me and not say one word...prompting our extended family to question their actions.

Since I'm not actually DF'd, my JW family can act "normally" around me at family reunions, the rest of my family has no idea that they ignore me every other day of the year.

by Watchtower-Free ingood afternoon,.
i am writing to give you a quick update about our ongoing statutory inquiries into safeguarding and charities linked to jehovah’s witnesses.. as you may know, one of our inquiries is into watch tower bible and tract society of britain.
we opened this inquiry in 2014. watch tower then initiated what turned out to be protracted litigation against us.

When you say "we", who exactly are you referring to? What do you mean by opening an inquiry? What exactly are you inquiring about? I'm not in the UK so if this is some kind of legal process could you elaborate on the details?

Let's Get Physical
by Funchback inrap, earth, wind and fire, 'let's get physical'.... types of music, performers and songs i wasn't allowed to listen to as a person in the jw corporation.. i remember jane, a self-appointed annointed, counseled me because i was an 11-year-old boy singing 'let's get physical' after a meeting.
i remember watching the video simply believing it was about exercise...lol!
but holy roller jane just had to try to ruin it for me, causing me to ponder, 'what else could it mean?'.

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.

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.

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.
