the path

by Princess Ashe in

anyone watching the path on hulu?

it's a bit extreme but a few similarities in dealing with the struggle of having doubt in possibly splitting up the family.

ones in blindly following..

jw07

I absolutely love that show!

Waking up and realising that there is no 'Light' (WT Truth, new light etc) was portrayed so well.

Also the automatic shunning and useless ways of trying to re-indoctrinate the strongly doubtful struck cords with me.

Cal is the governing body. He has to make up new crap to keep followers in after the previous leaders DIE and no promises have been fulfilled.

The visiting couple that are opposed to Cal (black woman and Caucasian / mixed husband) remind me so much of circuit overseas and their wives. So damn pious and into everyone's business.

Cults preying on the vulnerable, and persons being captives of concept reinforced by each generation of followers is something we can definitely relate to as well.

I just wish it was a bit more 'family friendly' so I could innocently recommend it to JWs I know.

The Congregational Make Up Research Project: WTB&TS wants to know you.

by oppostate in

we have a bethel speaker on the english side.

they're pretty regular up here since it's only three and a half hours drive from nyc.. but this is a special kind of visit.. it turns out he's involved in doing a special research project and the christian congregation of jw's wants to know us better.. in order for the broadcasting to address issues more meaningful for families, they want to know the demographic make up of the congregations.. he spoke with the secretary about young single publishers and couples 20-35 y.o.

how are they employed.

jw07

Why would they need to go out and manually collect that data?

Can't they just pray to Jehovah and let him guide them since it's his 'spirit directed organization'?

Damn dirty rotten cult!!!

RC 2016 Leaks & Releases

by wifibandit in

in an effort to reduce the number of posts, this year i will try to add links to this post.

now, on with the leaks & releases!

first up.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nzvwhflss4.

This is FUNNY!!!!!!

In real life, the only scriptures that could help them at 2:28 in the video are:

The entire chapter of Colt 45, and Colt 19:11 are particularly uplifting when enemies draw close to you during a societal collapse.

Heckler & Koch 33 is a chapter that would also help them to quickly dispatch enemies coming to rape their women and steal their resources.

Kalashnikov 47 has been known to drive fear and terror into the hearts of infidels all over the world.

Smith & Wesson 38 packs a punch that stops any demon in it's tracks.

The 50th chapter of the book of Browning is a scripture that would also help them to trim down hoards of looters bearing down on upon the premises and safeguard their lives to serve Jehovah another day!

Scientology Documentary on ABC

by jw07 in

right now two jws in my family are watching a documentary about scientology and laughing at the 'crazy things that people believe'.

isn't it ironic?

on the other hand i've never seen them watch something like this before.. i'm making sure to laugh loudly at things that parallel jw beliefs and behaviours in order to bring attention to them.. i hope they are curious enough to watch a similar expose on jws should it air on network tv.. yeah right, wishful thinking..

jw07

It makes me really sad because both of them are / were in professions that require logic and reasoning (one is retired).

Ooops...they got disinterested soon after, said they were tired, and went to bed. As expected!

Gee...they got awfully silent when the practice of 'disconnection' came up. I smell some dissonance, not that they would ever admit it though.

Whats it like being an atheist and still going to meetings?

by Crazyguy in

anyone fall into this category?

jw07

It's like being eaten by a single fire ant, one bite at a time.

Sometimes I just want to rip my own arm off and smack speakers off the podium for spouting all those illogical lies in smug confidence.

The most depressing part is sitting there watching the rest of my family completely aloof, as compliant as fully sedated sheep actually believing that all of it is real and that they will have everlasting life one day. Knowing that all of us will be dead one day, but that they could probably go to the grave believing all that crap, and wasting their lives working towards 'qualifying' for PROMISES that will never come true!!!

TV / Movie Clips That Summarize JW.org Life

by jw07 in

this is just meant to be a fun topic.. what are some tv and movie snippets that summarize the conformity and extremism of watchtower life in general?.

i found this trailer for the giver to be dead on :-).

it shows what happens when you start to openly question the organization and its policies.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etspwr5deek&feature=youtu.be.

@Skedaddle - I loved that episode of Black Mirror. I had the exact same thoughts when I saw it some months ago.
