  verybelated intro: Tylin

  so i have been a lurker on this forum since its inception.

  i registered over a year ago.

  i jumped in several months back with a highly controversial subject of my daughter being sexually abused by an elder and the efforts we were taking to bring him to justice.

  Misquotes, Lies and deception in Watchtower Publications

  by jwfacts in

  2. beliefs

  i have just finished an article misquotes, deception and lies and would like your comments, proof reading, and any other examples that you think are important to add.

  most of these already appear on jwfacts.com within specific articles, but it is more powerful seeing them included together.

  there have also been a number of requests over the years for such a collection.

  Interesting Comment From an Active Elder

  by DarioKehl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was recently speaking to an elder "off the record" while helping him do some house repairs.

  i have a comfortable enough relationship to speak openly with him about things, but am careful to disclose the extent of my disbelief in wt doctrine.

  anyway, this guy wouldn't last a day in the mafia because he can't keep anything confidential.

  I didn't expect to be here at age 49. Here as in my employment

  by wha happened? in

  it's been a terrible economy these last few years.

  i had a very successful loan brokerage and watched that crash and burn in 2011. i went back to my previous firm in the computer industry that was struggling after i left.

  it seemed like a good match.

  whahappened,

  From reading your posts, I think you are very smart & witty - you will land on your feet, I'm sure.

  Roberta804's advice sounds perfect - I wish my parents had spoken to me like that.

  The Internet has been a lifesaver for victims of Cults of all sorts .Is it then the beginning of the end for Cults ?

  by smiddy in

  since the internet has been available to people all over the earth, their has been an explosion of information going out that is unprecedented in the history of the world .. and one , just one of the beneficiaries of this knowedge are victims of cults who can relate to people who have undergone similar experiences and can offer help and encouragement to other victims .and this is done on a global scale .with what we are witnessing on this site with newbies joining on an almost daily basis , i live in hope that the writing is indeed on the wall for cults of all sorts.

  do you agree ?.

  smiddy,

  When I stopped being a JW I never anticipated I would one day be able to communicate with fellow ex-jw's. I never anticipated that the GB would be exposed world-wide via the internet. Isn't it wonderful?

  BORN-INS! What Were The Most Annoying Quotes Your Parents Would Say?

  by OneStepOut93 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  regarding worldly people, shows or toys?

  etc...what quotes annoyed you the most?.

  for me it was "well, you have to remember, they're worldly"... "don't trust anyone who isn't in the truth" "they may be nice but they are not friends of jehovah"... just a few to name.

  'Do as I say not as I do'

  'What would sis/bro so-&-so say if they saw/heard you?'

  'Invite some of the young ones over, you need better association'

  (managed to avoid all the above)

  MY babies were spayed today

  2. family

  i don't have children, and my wife and i decided not to have any, so we have kittens.

  we rescued some kittens and they were in pretty bad shape when they came home.

  thought one might not make it.
