  it's been four years (has it really been that long) that i haven't been on jwd.. i was back out west for a long while and i came back to new england.

  just got an appartment with another sister and things are looking up.

  i'm keeping under the radar and avoiding elder visits--not fully out of the kingdom hall yet.

  Living in Pennsylvania, I can tell you from experience that the closer you get to Cult Headquarters, the more looney, strict, stressful, and Pharasiticial it becomes. Oh sure, there are control mechanisms everywhere you go in JW-Land, but the closer to HQ you get, the worse it is. New England / Mid-Atlantic states are the worst. UGH!!!

  MORE PROPAGANDA FROM THE CO!!

  well, once again my "friend" has shared their notes with me from the latest co visit.

  besides the usual 1914 assertions/ world getting worse all the time/ our day is the worst of all time nonsense, the co mentioned some interesting things.

  number one won't surprise you.

  Did the CO happen to mention who the the King of North might be? After all, that King has to be made known as well before the End can come. Any mention, and mention at ALL, of the waters drying up, the moon turning as red as blood, and the locusts roaming over the earth? Famine? This CO seems to be in the know, so I'm sure he'll have answers to these questions.

  I just love how the King of the North isn't even spoken about anymore. It used to be such a big guessing game and source of debate as to who it was, now it's completely forgotten.

  What a mind-job this Cult is.

  SDA church general conference has voted NO on womens ordination and now there is a big fight

  by barry in

  last wednesday the question was put 'can unions ordain women as ministers in the sda church?

  the vote was defeated yes 41.35 to no 58.45.. the dutch churches responded quickly saying they won't be changing there policy and will continue to ordain women.. the north american division and the two conferences in california have women pastors that are already ordained.. the sda pastors in china are mostly women.. the internet is running hot with opinions one way or the other.

  here is how millennials feel about there church at this point most are studying at an sda university.

  It's obvious to me that SDA's while being cut from the same cloth as JW's (Second Adventist movement) are not nearly as cult-like as JW's. JW's have become more and more extreme and controlling over the years, while SDA's are at least making some sort of forward progress. Think about it: They have hospitals, schools, even a few ordained women! They cut ties with a lot of the Ellen G. White prophetic nonsense, and actually celebrate holidays. Part of me is actually a bit drawn to them, but their remaining controlling tendencies immediately raise red-flags and make me run away. So I'd say SDA's are "cult-like", while JW's are a full-blown doomsday cult.

  Oh, I forgot to mention that SDA's also produce literature and have stands at Fair's, etc around the USA and the literature looks eerily like the doomsday crap JW's put out. I mean it's really freaky how similar it all is. That alone gave me the creeps a few short years ago and I stopped considering them.

  Just received a visit from 2 Elders

  by Driving Force in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the elders did not stay long and it wasn`t an official visit sanctioned by the boe/cobe because they were not from my (ex)congregation.

  we talked a little about my situation and the fact that my wife does not talk to me and how non-scriptural her behavior is.. then they mentioned the rc and how it was the best convention for the last 20 years.

  one thing they did mention was the fact that the borg was clearly preparing them for persecution.

  Know what I've always thought? They bring the "persecution" (actually, critical thinking) upon themselves by being such vocal and visual azzholes. Going around, professing to the be "only true religion", then ramming falsehoods and unwritten rules down everyone's throats. No wonder they are being "persecuted", they're bringing it on themselves, what little of it it exists as 99.99% of the population doesn't give a sh*t about them.

  Just a short observation on self inflicted misery.

  2. experiences

  i used to post on this site a few years back but after moving on personally and being shunned by my only remaining family member for the last 4-5 years i the j.w's became just background noise to me.

  yet yesterday something happened that brought back to me the degree of control this cult has over it's members.

  a new wall mart recently opened in my little mountain town here in northern georgia, u.s. as i headed across the parking lot on my way into the store the heat was intense, wit a humidity factor of around 90%.

  Wal*Mart customers seem exactly like the type of uneducated, overweight, simpletons that JW's could easily draw into their cult. Fortunately, even Wal*Mart shoppers are smart enough to know better, as they have their own bat-sh*t crazy religious beliefs to contend with. Their God is better than the WT God, as they see it.

  Wow.......just........WOW. Just when you'd thought you'd seen it all??

  You know what that rationalization will be? Are you ready? Here it comes:

  1.) These aren't patriotic, nationalistic, etc.

  2.) These aren't idol worship, because we don't worship them.

  3.) These flags "symbolize" the JW.dot.org and promote God's word.

  4.) Advertise! Advertise! Advertise!

  5.) Ancient Israel had staffs with flags that flew as they went into battle carrying the Ark of the Covenant. So today to, we carry these blue flags as we march out onto the Theocratic battlefield.

  **** BARF ***** Can't believe I can still make myself think like them after so many years, but there it is!!!!

  The Man In The Mirror and the Terminal Patient

  by stuckinamovement in

  a man looks into the mirror and considers the image that is reflected.

  he sees a model of physical fitness, good looks, competence and popularity.

  he smiles at the positive image that he perceives.

  It's like band that continued to play as the Titanic sank. That's what this is, the Titanic. Going down....slowly but surely.

  Last one out, please turn out the Old Light.

  Thanks.

  So, same sh*t, different decade then?

  Should have asked this clown who the King of the North is? What about the visible signs of Christ's presence.....waters turning as red as blood, Trumpet blasts, etc, etc? Fall of Babylon the Great, has that happened yet? I'd love to call one of these buffoons out on their fear-mongering, just to make them sweat and look like the asses they are.

  Advice Needed - JW Grandparents

  by What Now? in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my family has been out (inactive no meeting attendance or field service) for just over two years..

  weve made many changes in our lives, including with our personal appearances (tattoos, piercings etc) that are a pretty obvious sign that we arent going back any time soon.

  our families went through a period of time about a year ago when they made a lot of threats that if we left the truth, they wouldnt even be able to share a meal with us, they would stay loyal to jehovah etc.

  What a bunch of poseurs your family is being exposed to. That's right, I said it! That's what people are that would act like this. They are nice-nice to your face, so long as they are allowed to indoctrinate your children against you behind your back. And let's not kid ourselves, that is EXACTLY what this behaviour is about......CULT recruitment.

  After the threatening letters I would dumped them all like the manipulative, crazy, bat-shit cultists that they are. That was their TRUE colours right there. Everything you are seeing/experiencing right now is all for show.....glossing over how they really feel about you and your family in order to suck your kids into a controlling cult.

  Wake up. You are being played for fools. I'd never allow my children around them alone - EVER.
