So far I've heard all positive things from you. Surely there are some negative, dubious aspects to BK - otherwise there would be 8 billion members! There are two sides to every coin. How about revealing the other side as well?

What death teaches!
by iconoclastic indeath teaches that nothing belongs to us.
no other teachings have been conveyed so clearly, powerfully, and globally.
yet this is the one that is not taken seriously by people in general.

It's not surprising in the least that other religious organizations of similar ilk to the JW's would come on to an exJW site to subtly recruit. Sharks smell blood and know there are wounded ones on here. I'm sure you mean well Icono, but i wouldn't touch that religious group - even with a twelve foot pole. -

I'm a coward.
by cappytan insince the move, it has been so enjoyable to not have jw's breathing down our necks asking why we didn't make the meeting, or having to pretend to be "spiritual" in front of family all the time.. 90% of my week is virtually stress free.
then, my mom calls or texts wanting to talk to her grandkids.
every dang call, she asks about the new congregation, if we went to the meeting, etc.. why can't i tell her to fk off?

I can only deal with my mother in doses. She loves to try and guilt trip me every chance she gets. Don't cut her off. Just deal with her only when important family matters are involved and unavoidable. Also be careful that she isn't brainwashing your kids. -

BK means Brahma Kumari - a dangerous mind controlling cult. The more i researched up on it, the more I loath it. -

I suspect that if i DA'd the move would backfire on me with my wife. Right now she's fully awake, but fully expecting that I continue to get along and keep the peace with her JW family members.
The anonymous DA letter sounds great!

Iconoclastic,
It's been 12 hours since I asked you if you were affiliated with BK. You have not answered. Your silence is deafening. Thanks for informing us Cofty.

Icono, are you a BK? Yes or no? Simple question.

How did your close JWs react when they found out you know TTATT?
by ivanatahan ini'm not sure if this topic has ever been posted (surely, i believe it has), but it would be interesting to revive such a topic and hear your stories!.
when my parents heard my first rant (after they told me to be home schooled when i was caught kissing a girl) they entered into a long depression that continues to this day.
my father suffers knowing his once amazing family is now divided, and my mother is equally angry.

Um... they called me an Apostate!! Then they ran for the hills with their hands covering their ears. I guess they didn't like what they were hearing from me. -

JW Lurkers and curious. This is for you.
by punkofnice inhello, lurkers and curious.
i imagine you're reading this because either you think you can defend your beliefs victoriously or you have doubts.. i have 2 questions that i hope you can log in and answer (no one will know who you are unless you tell them or leave your page open for others to see).
1. what actual worship did you do at the meetings or gatherings?.

I learned that I was in a super club that has all the answers to the most pertinent questions!
Just, we can't scrutinize those answers or we will be deceived by false knowledge and false teachers who dare refute mother! We mustn't lean on our own understanding because the flesh has fallen and only the "GUardians Of Doctrine" are immune to the darkness of this world!
We are special. Only we have the truth. Only we have the true love and if you don't like it then we'll kick your ass out the club before you can say 6-0-7!

Do what you have to do DJS. Just please refrain from dissing the trailer parks. They have been good to me!
We need GMO's to supplement a burgeoning population that will only get larger. Also, being that I'm an amateur lepidopterist, I will support any product or technology that reduces the need for pesticide use. We do need to tread carefully though.
Getting back on point, if those stocks are from a trust fund, who created it? Who hopes to gain from it?
Even if it is a trust fund, the Watchtower would share in the sins of those companies who have profited from war, sex and violence if it cashes in on that trust fund.. I am not yet convinced however, that the society even knows it exists. I'd like to see more evidence.
