  i had this article pop up about the darksilver case.

  it says a federal magistrate in san francisco has now ruled that darksilver can remain anonymous but then it says except for identification to lawyers for the religion’s watchtower publication.

  Desirous of Change / DOC..... Yes, it is true. My husband was an elder, and had to testify against the WT in a child abuse case. The WT waited until the case was dismissed in Summary Judgement and then DF'd my husband, my two sons, and the uncle of the child who was abused.

  I asked my mother (who is still a Jdub) if she would still talk to us "after the case", as I knew from reading many other experiences that after you testify, after you 'tell the truth', and if you 'talk', you WILL BE DF'd. It came true, just as I predicted... they were disfellowshipped, like many others. The WT does not want you to talk.

  do jehovah’s witnesses shun former members of their religion?

  I am not disfellowshipped. As my DF'd husband (who stood up against the WT in a child sex abuse case and was DF'd for it) and I were helping my JW mom (and never JW dad) clean up their yard (for months) my JW sister told me "even tho you are not DF'd, we know you are apostate, and you will be shunned!" in a very loud voice.

  Everyone in a Cult, Doesn't Know They Are in a Cult

  by The Bethelite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that's the one thing they all have in common.

  because as soon as you are aware that you are in one, you would of course leave it,.

  so millions of people all over the world are in them and but of course are ignorant of this fact.. i was asked many times over the years in field service, the question.

  I think that sometimes people are unaware of what cult" means. I certainly didn't. I always pictured a small few, one or 200 people, if that. Not 8 million people! However, because of exposure (books written by all kinds of ex-cult members from many religions, institutions. TV shows, news media) and awareness, the term cult has "opened up" and people are better able to understand what it means... *controlled "beyond" *made to feel guilty. *devotion to leaders *Busy work. *repeat brainwashing .... all that...

  The WT must realize how many people are leaving, and that they must brainwash these kids to "feel good" "doing something for Jehovah" before they get too old. Reminds me of what Hitler did to the kids in his country.

  The "Food Truck" analogy

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was pondering the way the society condemns anyone who looks for "spiritual food" outside of their approved channel.

  as we know, jws are only to go to the approved website, and research material.. this illustration came to mind.. lets say we have a 5star fancy restaurant, and a new clean food truck.

  both kitchens prepare a meal.. if the food is simply assessed on its own merit, and the source of its production is ignored, it can be deemed as healthy, safe, nutritious and tasty.

  Blondie - this article is such a good example of the best of the best BS that WT continually publishes. A true brain-bender.

  "The Boreans were "wanting to have this “good news” proved true
  for a person to acquire faith he must have “the will to believe.”
  If he is determined not to believe, then no amount of evidence will convince him;

  If a person is truly searching, then reality is reality, fact is fact.

  Acts 17"11 carefully examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

  Why would they need to examine things daily if they already believed?

  The WT uses a whole paragraph to bend your brain.

  Giving fake address to elder

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i got married a few weeks ago, living a great life now with my husband, he was definitely the perfect guy for me :) but anyways, we are going to work on slowly fading, going to meetings once a week or every two weeks, and then in a few months move to a hall where nobody knows our families and the elders hardly know each other, and fade out a lot more.

  but an elder asked for our address, which we didn’t feel comfortable giving him, because we don’t want any unexpected visits to “shepard” us, when we miss a few meetings, because they already text us when we miss 2 meetings in a row, which we had just gotten back from our honeymoon 🙄 so we “accidentally” gave him the wrong apartment number.

  so if they ever come pokin around they will be lost, and if they call or text us we will just have an excuse for not replying.
