Island Man, good point.
Sometimes explaining jdub doctrine to someone totally unfamiliar with it...makes the craziness very clear. So it stands to reason that a never-jdub would easily see through the smoke and mirrors that the dubs are so comfortable with.
Wow. But it's da troof!
yes it happen again with our youngest son.
this last monday we got a letter from him telling us how unloving we are because we are no longer jw.
cult and not had kids.
If he told you that "you should know better because you were an elder and know it's the truth", I would tell him in the letter that it's precisely BECAUSE you were an elder that you know it's NOT. Tell him that you saw the pettiness of men fighting for position and power, that it was obvious holy spirit played no part in appointments, and that you found the child abuse coverups completely unacceptable.
He can put that in his pipe and smoke it and hopefully it will ring a bell somewhere in his head, telling him to pay attention.
So sorry you and your wife are having to endure this. I still have one child "in" but at least I've only been called an apostate once, which I refuted [use of the term], and we get along even though we don't share beliefs. There is hope for you two, too!
it was the same booth as last week, with two different witnesses.

i asked if they were aware of the organization's history of unrealized predictions.
new light, good for you! advancing the cause for truth is an awesome endeavor...you are truly doing life-saving work!

Thanks for posting this. Love the song, this video makes it even better. Namaste.
i got to thinking the other day about how the wt uses loaded language.
and spin to give thinly veiled credence and so-called respectability to their policies.. but why not call a spade a spade.
why not identify the true nature of a policy,.
Great list! I'm too tired tonight to add to it but will definitely come back to this thread.

Excellent interview, thanks for posting it here. Time to pre-order!
standing up for yourself,and deciding to follow your own path takes strength .
you have to be strong especially if you were raised in a way of life that dictated so much of who you were .
while being raised as a jehovah's witness i was taught to follow ,unquestionally follow .i was told to put others before myself ,serve,don't stand out ,don't be independent .
Thank you for posting that great advice, TM. Beautifully and honestly written.
Hysterical, this will keep me smiling all day! Thanks, Bigmac.
