  Ok, We Need To Talk About The Latest Caleb & Sophia Cartoon

  by pale.emperor in

  (as of 10 sep 2020) there's a new caleb & sophia cartoon in which the org puts into the minds of children the idea that celebrating a birthday will cause jehovah to not want to be your friend anymore.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/trailer-jehovah-forgives/.

  can you imagine being 6 years old and thinking god himself is no longer your friend because you blew out a candle on a birthday cake or wished someone a happy birthday?.

  as bad as all this is, the birthday thing is just one of many jw rules that isnt even supported by scripure.

  When children empty their piggy banks and give that money to the organization this makes Jehovah very happy.

  Potential Truthiness

  by Terry in

  potential truthiness?.

  the comedian stephen colbert wrote a book, "truthiness".truthiness is the belief or assertion that a particular statement is true based on the intuition or perceptions of some individual or individuals, without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.. to me, this perfectly defines the term: potential.as in "potentially true" or "potentially lying.".

  such labels poison relationships destroying reputations.potential labels are subtle and also just under the radar of committing libel or defamation legally.. that key word is "potential" positing a shadowy inference, suspicion, propaganda point.do you feel me?do you understand the point i'm making?.

  Just to explain what is QAnon........

  QAnon[a] (/kjuːəˈnɒn/) is a far-right conspiracy theory[2][3][4][5][6][7] alleging that a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles running a global child sex-trafficking ring is plotting against President Donald Trump, who is battling them,[8] leading to a "day of reckoning" involving the mass arrest of journalists and politicians.[9] No part of the theory is based on fact

  Interesting how fake news became synonymous with D Trump but certainly he wasn't the start of it to be sure.
  

  The internet has become an avenue or vehicle to dispel unproven facts, rogue ideologies, conspiracies and good old fashion sensationalized bullshit.

  Some religions are even using it now to dispel their theological self supporting propaganda !

  Being in association with a lying corrupt and deadly cult is never a good thing for anybody.

  You can make better and real friends without being in a religoius cult.
  

  Yes sometimes I think about where and what happened to the friends I made at the Kingdom Hall, some good people some bad, I resolved also that many probably left the JWS as well.

  People are generally social and caring upon each other so when you live in a environment of group think and group identity it makes for a psychological situation of these are my loyal and true friends and further creates a basis of self worth and value.

  The problem with those accepted values is that it is actually harmful to each individual on many levels, such as being saturated in human ignorance and fear.

  Now this is a woman who could easily grab your attention.

  I think I would commit a crime just to get arrested by her.

  TV back in the 60's was so much fun and entertaining .

  TV used it be a media for entertaining the public young and old, now days its mostly cheep hype made for teenagers or boring cops and criminals shit .

  15-20. christendom exposed as the promoter of false worship.

  7 now, in the age of television, we have tv preachers exploiting that medium with every kind of theatrical trick and psychological device to beguile the masses and empty the pockets of the flock.

  Only Jehovah’s Witnesses​—the anointed Jeremiah class and the “great crowd”—​have accepted that responsibility

  Yes they have been coerced and lured into preaching a false tainted version of the Gospel of Jesus by sinning apostate false prophets running their own publishing company the Watchtower Corporation.

  And dont forget kids to show your loyalty to Jehovah by giving some of the candy money your parents give you to the organization, are swimming pools, tennis courts and first class air flights around the world dont come cheap. $$$
  

  In doing so you'll make Jehovah very happy.

  How do you switch off the thoughts of being raised JW and feelings of anger

  by Zeds Dead in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  raised as a jo blow and married into it.

  37 years in it and now last 7 years out of it which feels great.. have memories of being a kid in school in the uk and just hating everything about being the jw kid.

  bullied, embarrassed in front of others and self-esteem went into the toilet.wished i was born into a different family.. what angers me is the messaging i would receive at home when i talked about being bullied.

  The anger and anxiety from leaving the JW cult does wane itself over time.

  Upon leaving you can still look at things objectively, ie. Christmas, Halloween, personal abuse such as smoking, drinking , drugs just to name a few things.

  Yes you can live a wholesome happy life without religious cult associations.

  Some people refer it to living a real life
