"......as long as you live under OUR roof......"
How's that working out for JW parents?
hello all - i most likely won't post too often but want to introduce myself.
i've read this board for a long time and feel like i know some of you!
i was a third gen born-in (ne ohio), and half-heartedly believed until i was in middle school.

here's a wonderfully sickening video from another cult, the "church of christ".
have a listen and tell me if it doesn't remind you of a certain familiar jw tune, namely, "listen, obey, and be blessed!
this is crazy, just crazy!

This is crazy, just crazy! It's likes these cults are all running from the same play book, step-by-eery-step.
slightly redacted for privacy of those involved.. so, this is "park witnessing" in oklahoma.. the parks in this community are basically walking trails and some tatty playground equipment.
most of the time, sparsely used, and today was a very blustery day.. notice the justifying comment- "quite a few" checking out the cart.
i am sure they were..... .
so it's official, i am happy to report that we merged with another congregation having the same problem.
why is it good news???
because people are either waking up, fading or just not buying into this organization any longer or walking away.... i think many young ones are just not buying into it as much, i see many in the congregation i go to very depressed and some i know personally going thru major depression especially the young "sisters" in their early 20s.... .
Well now, I'm confused, truly confused!! According to a JW broadcast last year (May was it?), why, growth and expansion was outpacing the congregations! New LDC that replaced RBC, was to create something like 1,000 new Kingdom Halls!!! So.....what happened? I mean, WT sure pushed & guilted the masses to fork over even more money, including all the Congregation funds? (except for $5K).
Sounds fishy to me!
hey ya'll!
i have been lurking for years on this site and others but never had the courage to post anything.
actually i was afraid of posting on an apostate site in the event i was wrong.
Let the other assholes on the Body of Elders remove him once, that should REALLY show him how they "love" him!!!!! Hahahahaha!! It will also free up his time to actually be a HUSBAND and FATHER!! He might actually enjoy the free time, that is, if he isn't a power hungry phony two-faced narcissist who gets off on the power trip like so many others do.
Imagine, they are threatening to "delete" him as an Elder, from a VOLUNTARY position that pays ZERO, all because you don't kiss their asses and fall in line! How ludicrous and controlling. F' those clowns.
Good for you on doing the fade, and having your daughter join you! If your husband doesn't like it, too bad! It's a free country, and you have the RIGHT to worship how you see fit. If he doesn't like it, let him file for divorce. Either way, YOU WIN!!! Congrats on your right to freedom of choice, religion, and THOUGHT.
>>the bible reveals that jehovah issaddened when people pursue a wick-ed course and ‘the inclination of theirthoughts is only bad all the time.’ (readgenesis 6:5, 6.
) from this we can per-ceive that sexual fantasizing is wrongbecause it can lead to serious sin that isforbidden in the scriptures and is out ofharmony with jehovah’s way of think-ing.the disciple james wrote: “the wis-dom from above is first of all pure, thenpeaceable, reasonable, ready to obey,full of mercy and good fruits, impar-tial, not hypocritical.” (jas.
3:17) beingaware of this, we should be moved toreject entertainment that fuels impurethoughts and inclinations.
OMG, all the bullshit and guilt I was force-fed as a child about masturbation being "self-abuse", immoral thoughts being from Demons, no sex till marriage, masturbation turning you GAY, etc. Where do I begin?
I remember as a small child a small, thin, green book. I think it was the Family book. It actually talked about masturbation and how it was wrong, turned guys gay, etc. Then, as if THAT shit wasn't bad enough, the WT decided to bring out a book just for kids called, "Young People Ask." That was awkward, cringe-worthy, and embarrassing to say the least.
Now, WT has decided to guilt people some more? Surprise, surprise. Is THIS how they think they are going to stop pedo's from molesting children, by telling them to merely stop thinking about committing heinous crimes? SAD.
if anyone had to guess, what do you think the average age of the community actually is?.
are more millennials actually waking up or is it pretty even amongst previous generations as well?

last night, during our "christian life and ministry" meeting, we had a session on local needs.
elder opened the talk with a disclaimer saying that this was a reminder (cited psalms about how david loved jehovahs reminders).
he reminded us of how bless we are of having our own local assembly hall.
I would have asked that asshole to go pull it from the funds that Mother Org so lovingly wiped out from all the local congregations bank accounts a while back!! Pull it from there, ass-clowns!!!
What a money-grubbing farce this cult has become. Wow, just WOW!
