hi folks.
the usual feeling for me - when i missed mid-week meetings - is to feel guilty, sad or depressed.
it normally involved negative feelings.
Jdubs are indoctrinated to feel guilt for doing anything the wts/gb tells them is wrong. It's like an automatic built-in electric shock control system which gets recharged every time a dub reads their teachings, hears their talks, and associates with other dubs. Carrying around that load of negativity that says You Are Sinful is soul-numbing.
It's so refreshing to get out from under it.
this site , the people posting, and the ability to connect with them this way has really helped me in such a huge way i can't even express.. thank you for all your time, hard work, and kind efforts to keep this open and safe for all that come in here.. .
Simon, Angharad, and mods -- just wish to echo all the kind and grateful sentiments. I'm sure you know how much good wonderfulness this site is responsible for bringing to the world, but you deserve to be told Thank You every day for all the ones you've assisted. And to all the real humans on this board who provide such a fantastic support network that we all were missing:
THANK YOU !
THANK YOU !
THANK YOU !
isn't going to be wonderful??.
not being there..
Anyone who's going, please remember to take notes of actually interesting things we'd like to know about...like how much weirder the talks are than last year, or more direct commands to disobey everything your brain actually tells you and instead follow mind-warping information from the bOrg.
Dubs don't lift a finger to actually HELP anyone...even their fellow dubs.
That part of their emotional brain has been wired shut by the bOrg.
i was unable to find any details on this on jwfacts, anyone have details on the wt not being a religion so they could instead own property?.
Just Wow.
It would be amazing to see a bulleted list of the hypocritical manipulations the wts has pulled over the decades. This is a doozy, but Malawi was probably the worst? Building and maintaining Beth Sarim (the "house of princes") and Beth Shan have to be included. I'm sure there are many, many others which are known to some on this board and it would be something to see...kind of a cheat sheet for planting wtf seeds.
2014 snap conference report.
posted on august 20, 2014 by barbara.
from august 1 3, kerry louderback wood* and i attended the 2014 annual snap** conference, which was also its twenty-fifth anniversary celebration, in chicago, illinois.. .
Thank you, Barbara and Kerry, for all your hard work to protect our kids and expose the massive coverups of sexual abuse within jehovah's witnesses.
my still-in wife has asked we prepare a "go-bag" with all the stuff we need in case of a natural disaster....we live in a country where there is none!.
but when i asked where this all came from she mentioned hurricanes etc but again we live in an area where they can never be things like this.. thus i suspect this is a society based instruction...can anyone enlighten me?.
are the society advising dubs to be doom preppers???
Living in Florida, we've always prepared go-bags for hurricane season. So we keep important papers sealed in ziplock freezer bags and stock up on some foods and a asceptic beverages especially in summer. The most important thing after your papers, credit cards and cash? Baby wipes and a pack of new undies from Walmart. Just sayin...
while i'm glad i found this site, it has also crumbled to bits everything i've believed in my whole life.
i feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life.
this has left a huge hole in my soul.
Mindless robots have already been created by the wts.
Stop putting silly labels on people!
well, that seems to be the latest hot thing amoung witnesses.
everybody buys a tablet.
even the poor families that eat carb heavy meals are gettin' em.. maybe they can't afford the latest apple product like the maxi/mini pad or whatever they're calling it these days so a trip to ebay or overstock.com fills the bill.. use it instead of a songbook.

is being followed daily at www.swrnn.com for those interested.. this afternoons coverage said he was an elder at the time of the murder.. i think when the story first came out no one was sure if he was or not..
Wow. Just read both abcnews stories. I wish I was more surprised but if you think about it, this guy was trained by the bOrg to be emotionless and calculating. And he obviously played the jw-system very well. Typical of many an elder in america: tell the r&f to give more money and spend more time stumping for the bOrg. Hey, don't look at my luxury home and vehicles and my 35-foot boat! Pay attention to your own sinful actions do what you're told.
Thank goodness the children have close family...but very sad that they're growing up as bOrgians.
