  One language in the new system

  by OneEyedJoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so at the convention, one of the talks was about how all people will speak a single language in the new system.

  my ears perked up when i heard at the outset "now, we can't be dogmatic about this" because that immediately makes me think that they're backing away from a previously dogmatic stance.

  he went on to say that everyone will be speaking hebrew in the new system because "evidently" (another word that gets my ears to perk up these days) that was what was spoken before the languages were confused at bable.

  Pedophile Elder in jail gets reinstated

  by Trapped in JW land in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  there was a brother in my congregation who was an elder.

  he got disfellowshipped about two years ago for looking at child porn and also trying to meet up with a thirteen year old boy online.

  he was also arrested soon after this.

  LisaRose, you are spot on with your comments. As for I wonder how long it will be before he is made an elder again the answer could be Soon™.

  Time for those in the know inside the congs to start spilling the beans and protecting innocent children rather than their molesters.

  I saw lots of depression with and without meds, alcoholism, and eating disorders in female jdubs in my twenty years. Seems to be getting worse among those I see (infrequently).

  What was your out of control, sobbing moment with this stupid religion?

  by ctrwtf in

  2. friends

  i have often laughed at public outpourings of emotion.

  just google mike schmidt"s retirement speech in which he loses it and blithers on about his career.

  completely douche chilling.. but to be honest, i had a moment recently when i literally balled my eyes out.

  Wasanelder, sorry your lovely Mom was treated so unkindly even by those she had assisted many times. She surely didn't deserve that dose of UnLove.

  Reopened, taking care of the struggling one was so kind and loving in the true sense of the word. Sorry you and he were not treated the same.

  There are many of us who soldiered on, laboring for others but being treated like pariahs by those in the cult. Sadly, when unconditional Love is not taught or rewarded, most jdubs never learn it until they leave the mind-controlled environment.

  What is the JW Mindset?

  by losingit in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  is it based on gullibility, naivete, the ability to suspend all logic and reason in order to hold onto fantasized "realities" of a paradise earth where all humanity will be perfect, where all wars and violence will cease?

  is it a personal preponderance to the extreme-- whether it be in judgmentalism, cruelty, rigidity, negativity, and/ or righteousness that lends itself to extreme closemindedness and shortsightedness?.

  how do you define it for yourself?

  Perhaps the single thing unique to witnesses is their belief that they alone:

  1. Know and use god's name 2. Understand the true meaning of the bible 3. Have a special protected relationship with the creator of the universe

  Are the other traits really unique to jws or are they the result of the finely-honed mind-control tactics employed on the jws themselves?

  Throwing attention to the other religions who have major scandals is a common technique used by every control-freak manipulator walking the planet. It's not unique to jws but it's a shoddy tactic used to draw attention away from their own horrific actions.

  Are they selfish in the sense of not wanting to help others on the planet, or because they want the "paradise earth™" all to themselves? It's an interesting concept and dilemma. I don't know that I ever met a jw who participated in service out of a great love of people, wanting to share paradise with them. Instead service was either perfunctory and boring OR an activity used to gain status within the borg.

  Wish I had more time to participate...off to work but will check back this evening. Good thread!

  Perhaps those in the know should email Hot Snakes to explain reservations about certain exjws and that they don't portray 99.9% of real people...then suggest some reputable exjws be contacted for representation, starting with Cedars.

  Not much would change as all those who were my "friends" already shun me just because I no longer attend meetings.
