Beccah Hendrickson of WGAL comes thru again! A fabulous interview with Barbara Anderson, all the pieces of the puzzle are coming together! Watch out Watchtower! I loved the ending! What do you think?
can anyone remember or point me to a quote in either the watchtower or awake where they spoke adversely about some of the violent scenes in the original blade runner film.
.
thanks.
WT didn't like starTrek, cuz they didn't want people to find out about "The Borg"! Haha!
is the term "waking up" the best way to describe when a jdub starts to have doubts?
to me, it is rather that a jdub realizes that what they have believed for years was a pack of lies and then they have to make a conscious decision if they want to continue to believe in lies or stop being a jdub or just go along for the ride.. it just amazes me how many die-hard jdubs there are despite every failed prophecy about the end coming, the borg being a part of the dreaded wild best united nations, the put down of women in the borg, the massive cover-up of the child abuse in the borg, the willingness to let a child die because they need blood, and the eagerness to shun a child who at the age of 10 got dunked to make mommy and daddy happy only to not want to be a jdub later and have the parents treat them like they are dead because 8 overweight, balding, goofy looking, incoherent men in upper state new york say that are the rules for being a christain.. jehovah's witnesses are a very sad cult that attracts people with emotional, psychological, or medical issues, have very large egos, can't make simple decisions, and believe in the tooth fairy..
Score! Love it Jo-Ho! It WAS a nightmare!
So glad I 'woke up'!!!
i just had a thought inspired by @newboy's recent post:.
why is it that despite the watchtower corporation being arguably the biggest publishing house in history, having produced billions of tracts, brochures, magazines, books for o very 100 years, and having the largest army of volunteer publicity agents on the planet, that 99% of the population is still clueless as to what their message is all about?.
if you ask random people what jw's beleive you will rarely get the so-called "good news": gods kingdom is going to soon usher in a paradise earth and fix all the worlds problems under the 1000 year reign of christ.. you will instead get: "they're the people who... 1. don't celebrate christmas or birthdays, 2. don't take blood, 3. go around with the watchtower, 4. have big assemblies... etc etc".
I totally agree, you are right! I don't know of one person who would say, "JWs preach about the good news of the kingdom....." Excellent point! If people don't know about this "kingdom", then how is God to judge them? On a WT article about "Is the Bible Outdated? or Just Ahead of it's Time?" or the AW "Is Marriage just a Union?"
the governing body and watchtower publications make clear there is only one official website that jws should go to about their religion.
they do not approve of independent pro-jw forums.
this would also fall in line of there being no independent study groups, on the internet, or elsewhere.. for that matter, they do not approve of jws posting on behalf of their religion on social media, “apostate” websites, or anywhere else on the internet.
It is the first step, Wild Thing, and so naughty, Londo! Haha, probably run by undercover mopi's... or pomos.... maybe apostates 😊

In the US, the phrase, "you better wake up and smell the coffee" is used when someone's thinking is off track or delusional.
It works for me.
the subject was how long humans have been on the earth.
although i'm posting this under "jokes & humor" this is (sadly) only a slight exaggeration:.

Good video, and yep, that is basically how you ou feel when listening to the logic off JW's.
The flood is a good one, my husband loves to talk about the flood and the pyramids.. 'Which came first?" Even better, did it come at all?
my wife was diagnosed with ms about two years ago.
we have been living in ohio for the last 5 years but were recently assigned to a new congregation because of the dissolving and sale of our congregation/kh.
my wife's symptoms spiked after being relocated to our new hall back in january.
Hey there LTPF, so sorry about the stress, CONGRATS on your decision to move!!!
One thing I realized, once leaving JW-ville, outs that the more meetings you miss, the more thought brain can think. Indoctrinization, or mind control, takes repeat, repeat, repeat!
If you can spend more time with her, doing things she enjoys, she isn't going to "miss" (is it possible?) going to those meetings.
Good luck to you and your wife, cha ching
there is important dutch news: majority in dutch parliament require an investigation into child abuse within jwshttp://translate.google.com/translate?u=https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/nederland/politiek/tweede-kamer-eist-onafhankelijk-onderzoek-naar-misbruik-jehovahs-getuigen&hl=en&langpair=auto%7cen&tbb=1&ie=utf-8.
the lower house requires independent investigation into abuse of jehovah's witnesses .
june 28, 2018 18:56 .
Just the fact that it is in the news, just the fact that legislators hear about and have to discuss this, just the fact that WT has to 'deal' with this is good.
The culture of this world must change, it cannot keep 'overlooking' the damage that child abuse does to people and society.
