i know the gb would love to have the power to do the same to us.
it disgusts me that britain and other western lands lowered its flags to half mast for the death of the king of this theocratic tyrannical state, all while condemning the likes of hugo chavez and muamar gaddafi who were secular leaders who at least recognized womens rights, and never did anything as repulsive as killing someone for changing their religion.
It's the Golden Rule; "He with the Gold, makes the Rules."
Saudi Arabia is oil producer #1. Everyone kisses their asses and let's them get away with murder in order to stay in their good graces and favour so that they can get oil. It's all about the black gold. If not for the oil, Saudi Arabia would still be living in the dark ages like Afghanistan, instead of driving gold-plated Bentley's.
i just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.
link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.
as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.
CULT ALERT! CULT ALERT!!!!!
@ 3:30 Lett states in greedy sort of Freudian slip, "God wants us to make deposits, NOT withdrawls........"
What unbelievable gall !!! As usual, give us all your money to benefit the "oneness" of our bank accounts, hedge funds, and perpetual construction projects.
Also, this entire talk about "oneness" is complete Cult-speak. Further along in the video, he completely tries to downplay ones on civil and personal rights as being selfish and self-centered. JW's are to slave and serve the borg, period! He even mentions personal grooming and dress! Don't dare speak up if the Elders (or TOMO III) tell you go shave your goat-tee or not wear tight pants! How dare you show individuality, and not the spirit of "one-ness".
This entire talk angered me in the extreme. It is bat-sh*t crazy, complete lunacy and filled with cult-speak and an attempt to brainwash people out of their individuality, God-given right to free speech, thought, and freedom.
The new and improved JW dot Org doesn't want Christians, they want OBEDIANT WORKERS who are just smart enough to be able to parrot the company motto and push a literature cart, but dumb enough to hand over free thought and every last moment of free time and money to the collective "oneness."
And as far as the child abuse and pedophilia? SHUT UP APOSTATES! You are making us look bad!
And as usual, "The beatings will continue, until morale improves."
it was recently that i found out that my dad was a paedophile while reading a post on this site (shocker to say the least), but out of something so awful a good thing has occurred.
some on here will know my backstory about how my loving jw parents disowned, but i digress.
thanks to that post i am now in contact with my sister who unbeknown to me is a member of this site and saw my response on the thread about my dad.
Let me get this straight; BOTH your sister and yourself were molested by a MS in your congregations when you were little, but NOT by your Elder father? Then, Elder father tosses son out on his ass and doesn't speak to him for 10 years? Then, Elder father molests his own granddaughter?
That MS molesting you 2 absolutely can NOT be a coincidence. I would bet all of the WT's money that both the Elder father and MS molester were in a child pedophile ring and were "sharing" victims. The Elder father allowed the MS access to his children, and I highly suspect the MS allowed the Elder access to his other "victims" for practice. The Elder father really had his routine down and was confident before he moved on to his own offspring, which was a crime of convenience and of no consequence to him.
I hope this sick, twisted, evil, sadistic, monster is paired in jail with a big, buff, monster of a man-rapist who takes to the Elder father, and shows him the most intimate social graces of the penal system. Every night. After lights out.
I don't know what's worse; the victimization of multiple generations of one family, or the incredible flat out GALL of the Congregation and relatives whom actually stick up and tried to cover for this disgusting waste of human skin. I hope this family removes the other relatives from their lives, move away from the area, and suit the WTBTS for every pound sterling they can get out of them. What an incredible story.
i been married to my husband for almost 9 years.
he's been a witness his whole life but got disfellowship a little over 15 years ago.
before his dis fellowshiping he was very active.
With research on the internet, you will soon come to see the very clear answer:
JW's are a CULT!
The very notion that so many ex-JW forums and websites exist should tell you how messed up this farce of a religion actually is.
Run for your life.
sorry.
i see it is on jw survey and from one of their earth shaking, mind bending, nausea producing jw.org broadcasts.. .

and here's how judah looks as seen in a recent video - especially posted for those who knew judah over the years.
closet factory testimonial from judah schroeder.
I love how the internet, YouTube, and the like are exposing these people for the bunch of hypocritical, two-faced con-artists that they are.
So here we (and everyone else) can plainly see the hypocrisy and money-grubbing behavior of one of the WT "hierarchy" and how they behave. The rules do not apply to them, and it is becoming blaringly obvious.
Judah Ben Schroeder is able to go to University (Columbia U), then off to get a fancy law degree, (anyone else would be marked and cast out as worldly association) marry another educated JW woman (gasp) who's family just happens to be $$ LOADED $$ and unlike the other rank and file Bethelites, he gets to have a nice house in Florida, & Rolex Submariner (must be an elite WT boys club thing) and have everyone kiss his white flabby azz because his daddy was on the GB 1.0.
Like Church Lady used to say, "Well.....isn't that SPECIAL?????"
I am so much more disgusted with this evil, backstabbing, money-making CULT in the last say....YEAR, because I have been able to actually see videos of these moronic clowns and see how they behave and act, then I ever was when I was a child and they were merely anonymous puppet-masters of our faith.
effects of a nuclear bomb video - .

just trying to understand their 'thinking'.
Speaking of a nuclear bomb on JW literature, I could swear up and down that back in the early 1980's there was a WT or Awake! mag that had nearly an identical mushroom cloud on it, except instead of an actual photo like the newer mag shows above, I remember it being drawn up all cartoonish like.....except scary as h*ll to my young child's mind.
Blondie or someone else, please tell me I'm not insane? I haven't been able to find this particular magazine cover, but I could just swear that it exists......I have a nearly photographic memory (I say nearly because I can't always recall the exact dates, but I see a lot of things in my head like they were yesterday) and it hardly ever betrays me.
So really, if the old magazine exists that I'm referring to, then this new one is merely a re-hashing of early 1980's fear-mongering. But what else is new in WT-Land?
some years ago (the year when i got baptized), i was at a district convention (or whatever they call them these days) with my best friend.
he had a part in one of those acting parts at the convention (i have no idea the term jw's use for them in english).
anyway, we were both seeing through the bullshit of the borg but weren't aware at the time of this forum or other "apostate" groups, nor of the full extent of the perversity of this religion.
"Also, I remember they actually wrote an article sometime ago about people investing too much time and effort into their pets and treating them like idols, LOL."
That's right! The only thing people are supposed to waste time and money on and treat like idols, is the WTBTS! OMG, the freakin' balls they have to actually write and article like that. What a bunch of hateful hypocrites!
a sick little girl goes to ny to meet caleb and sophia for her make a wish trip.. http://www.kmph.com/category/170789/video-landing-page?clipid=11142038&autostart=true.
i don't want to make too much comment as there is an innocent and poorly young girl at the heart of this but i do have to wonder what the purpose of the parents courting the media's attention over this really was..
