  Differing views of education in the JW cult

  by hybridous in

  1. jw

  while reading the thread about the jw elder clearing his conscience, i had the thought.... .

  while taking everyone's experiences in the jw org at face value, we all certainly had different influences present around us concerning education.. .

  it is clear to me that within the jw org, there is a spectrum running from hard-liners to very liberal, in this particular matter.

  Shunned by ex-jw's

  by Joey Jo-Jo in

  there seems to be a double standard among ex-jw's who believe and practice christianity.. i have lost 3 subscribers from my youtube channel all because of speaking my mind, it was not invasive or rude, but my last two videos appeared to have offended them.. so what happened?

  as an atheist i raised some issues regarding the mind set of christianity that it borrows from jw's, in other words i was showing christian ex-jw's that they are behaving just like jw's.

  the double standard is simple to grasp:.

  Interesting District Convention News.....

  by Pyramid Scheme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wanted to share some news from a family friend (he is my wt mole - still an elder, hates the shenanigans, but is still hanging on for all the reasons often discussed on this site) i know the various rumors have been discussed on here, and unfortunately the rumor about the conventions being eliminated weren't true!

  (what a burden on the jw community - financial hardship for a good portion of them, guilting people into actually quitting their job to attend, physically exhausting for many, etc...etc......).

  anyway, he told me that the district convention is being moved to 11 weekends at the jw-owned circuit assembly hall, and they are no longer planning on renting stadiums/large facilities in our area (northern ohio/southern michigan).

  Hi All - Finally Posting Here!

  by Pyramid Scheme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first off, i owe this site a tremendous debt of gratitude.

  i have been an inactive witness for 4 glorious years, and the spark that began my fade out of the organziation was this site and paul's jwfacts.com.

  it opened my eyes to a whole new world of insight, and i discovered that there were so many people out there like me - still a "spiritual" individual, but completely disgusted with the jw organization.
