if you haven't yet read it...please do so..... it is so ridiculous!
so leading, so distorted, and full of "bait and switch" techniques.. "prove you have the truth"..by seeing how neutral witnesses were in war times?
In paragraph 2: “By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35)
We don't go to war, but if you disagree with us we'll shun you and treat you as if you're dead. This is how we know that WE have "the truth." Isn't that a loving provision from Jehovah?
jehovah's witnesses control body, marriage, and bedroom!.
not sure if this has been previously posted.. she makes great videos.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtfelnrjytk&list=pl1xsr2_zngamxbaimr5ppcgied-wlvm3k&index=5.

" ... mutual consent ... both marriage partners ... guilty ..."
I can't believe those words are actually in the same sentence. Only in the WT! (w74 11/15, p. 704)
Hey, if my wife wants to give me a blowjob, I'm gonna' let her!
ever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?
the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:.
1. at the top of the social order of things within the congregation is of course, the presiding overseer and his family.

husband is completely, beside himself livid.
he's going to the elders on me.
i've havent been to a meeting in over a year.
Cognac: Husband is completely, beside himself LIVID. He's going to the elders on me.
Nothing screams "CULT" like one family member turning in another.
There actually is nothing the elders can "do" to you. Sure, they can "disfellowship" you, but it sounds like you already cut off all "fellowship" with them a year ago.
Since your hubby is still under their thought/mind control, they can certainly mess him up which will no doubt cause all sorts of complications in your life. But he's an adult and he has to make his own choices.
Ask him why the ultimatums? You would never do that to him? Would you ever say, "You have to leave JWs or I'll leave you!"? But many JWs have left their spouses when they left the organization.
It's so twisted.

But seriously folks, the very notion of "having the truth" as if "truth" is a thing that can be possessed by a single individual or group at the exclusion of others is simply a ridiculous notion.
If I know something that is true and I share it with you, be both now know it. If you share it with someone else, now all three of us know it. I can't somehow "lose" it even if we have a falling out.
The WTBTS talks about "truth" as if it was a tangible physical object rather than the abstraction that it is.
Let's review: It's a cult!

If simply being neutral during war identifies a group as "having the truth," then Quakers have it!

Stuck: How do you spell "hypocrites"?
You did it correctly.
how fast do you think the wt would grow if all these celebrations were no longer an issue?.

They're almost there now. The only things that make them different any more from any otther mainstream church is that they shun dissenters and those that accept blood transfusions.

feeling low today.
i haven't posted for a long time (forgotten log in details = new username) i'm in a good place with my family now and have built a life outside the religion.. today i found out a good friend has gone back and got himself reinstated to be able to have contact with his elderly mother.
that is the only reason apparently.
HH, that's the spirit!
