Wait, what? Are you kidding me? I've watched the first two season's of "True Detective" and I don't remember that scene. Is my leg being pulled here, or did that actually happen? What episode (I'm assuming first season as the second season has completely different actors led by Colin Farrell).

Two Detectives Observing A J.W. Meeting.
by smiddy inwoody harrelson and mathew mcconaughey { standing at the back of the k..h..during a meeting }.
w.h.. "what do you know about these people " { who get their higher education reading and studying the watchtower and awake magazines} ?.
"just observation and deduction , i see propensity for obesity , poverty, a yen for fairy tales , folks putting what few bucks they do have into contribution boxes .. i think it`s safe to say that nobody here is going to be splitting the atom.

Sorry for your loss. I'm sure it gave her strength and comfort that you were with her until the end. -

This is for all JW's out there...
by Divergent in.
sorry to be so blunt, but you only have yourself to blame if you realize something is wrong but allow your cognitive dissonance to kick in.
if you are confronted with facts which are reported by reliable sources which are hard to dispute and deny, and you choose to dismiss these as "apostate lies" rather than looking at these from an objective point of view, it's your fault and you deserve the consequences of willful ignorance!.

It's a bit rough, but I understand the message that you are trying to convey. So many times I've wanted to tell friends and family who are trapped and unhappy to wake the **** up, take control of your life and do something about your unhappiness. They complain and complain about all aspects of the organization, the injustice in the congregation and yet do nothing about it.
I have a friend still in, who only contacts me to complain, because he knows I'm the only one he can fully rant to. After his rant session he goes right back into full cult mode. What the heck! So frustrating.

I found a naked dead guy in a river while hiking. Is that a life changing experience? I also found out my grandfather had been dead for over a year and none of my family took the time to tell me. No wonder he hadn't posted on Facebook in awhile. Hard to pull that off when you're dead!. 2015 has been an up-and-down year. -

heartbroken and not sure what to do...
by Khaleesi ini don't know what to do.... i married last year and things have been very rocky.
we dated for 4 years and did have normal issues but always had a lingering doubt something was just not right in our relationship-behavior to be more specific, he is not a jw, but i am.
yes i know i married outside the "lord" but after my first marriage to a jw ended in divorce for physical abuse, i was glad i didn't married another jw.

Khaleesi, welcome! I feel for you. I know my wife wants more of my attention as well. Us ADHD men can be a handful and a headache. Maybe you both need some marriage counseling? -

A new member
by Kurteousmaximus inhi... i am new and after nearly 20 years after being disassociated at 15 i would like to make contact with others who have similar difficulties.
my mother was disfellowshipped shortly after my rebellion and had all ties with both her mother and brother cut and that remains the case.. just really hacked off with not being able to put things in the proper place in my life after all these years.
for the record i don't know if i believe in god but am searching for some peace as i seem to self destruct on a regular basis.. any ideas anyone?.

Thanks for joining! So young with your whole life ahead of you in a cult free environment! Now you can go about teaching your children tolerance - something JWLand sorely lacks.

Welcome John! Like you, I took my whole family with me. No way in hell I was going to continue to allow them to be subjected to this neurotic religion! Good riddance. -

Islam is the Epitome of Misogyny
by cofty inin this video the popular saudi cleric sheik yahya al-jana discusses the joys of paradise, saying that men will have the strength of a hundred men in paradise and will be busy tearing hymens, while the virgins of paradise, whose breasts are like pomegranates, become virgins every time again.. the cleric also explains it is mostly men who enter paradise noting that women in general are bad because they refuse to wear the veil, they wear tight clothes in shopping malls, put on perfume and jewelry, and use filthy social media platforms.
source.... this is what young men from conservative muslim families are raised on.
is it any wonder islamic countries treat women appallingly?.

I can't even watch it. I definitely can't write how I feel about it. That leader needs psychological help. I think the stagnate desert water is making some of these people insane. -

I agree with JakeM and what others have written.
if you are doing well as a parent and with your business, then you are as successful as one can get in this life. I wish I was good at both, or even one of those things. You inspire me to do better! Don't be too hard on yourself.
