  Went to the assembly..some.personal thoughts on it.

  i've been as honest as i can on this forum throughout my time bouncing in and out..and been jumped on for saying anything positive about the "truth" or my experiences at the hall, but it's been a few years now since i have been attending meetings.

  i go to the memorial for family reasons and went to the assembly today for the same reason...but one observation i have to make is most of us have all dealt with years of hearing how gawd awful "the world" is and how the only happiness is going to meetings and out in service.

  now that is total bs.

  My Son's wish granted from Make A Wish

  we leave friday for his disney cruise wish.

  he's also a big star wars fan, and they have a star wars day on one of the seafaring days.

  to say we are all looking forward to this is an understatement.

  We went on a Disney Cruise (Magic) about 6 years ago. We'd been on several cruises before. Considering the cost, we were expecting top-notch service. Honestly, it was "meh". The food in particular, was truly sub-par. Entertainment was good, rooms were very nice. Characters were around. Disney's private island "Castaway Island", is truly awesome. They have clear tubes and you go out in the ocean, lay on the beach, etc. Food there at the grille was good and fresh. The water was fantastic. Enjoy your cruise and family time.

  So this guy is a "moocher", who's pissed because the job opportunities offered to him by his employer, don't meet his religious schedule? GTFOOH, asshole!!!! Your employer is not responsible, not do they care, about your "religious meeting schedule." That has NOTHING to do with work. Do you want to eat? Better get to work, cause the Elduh's sure as hell aren't going to help you out!! This guy is just pissed that his disability is no longer willing to pay out for him to be a lay-about and/or Pioneer on the Government's dime!!!!! He's royally pissed that the company offered him an alternative job, and is using "meeting times" as an excuse not to accept the offered alternate positions. Guess what? That's HIS freakin' problem!! Talk about a sense of self-entitlement! But then again, this is the JW mindset isn't it? That the "world" somehow revolves around THEM, thinks THEY are so wonderful, God's Chosen People, etc. Freakin' pathetic. This guy is a disgrace, a parasite, and a lazy BUM. I hope the Judge sees this as what it is, and tosses the case right out.

  Thank You Stephanie Fessler

  stephanie, just a warm thank you for going public and allowing us to look into your personal and private life.

  congratulations on your victory.

  in a better world there would be no need to pursue such a cause, therefore congrats are tempered with unfortunate reality.

  From a fellow York County resident, thank you for bringing all of this to light and for standing up for yourself, your rights, and also for looking out for the other young people who you may have saved from similar treatment.

  this photo is doing the rounds on jw inspirational on instagram.

  although the brothers and sisters think this is "oh so amazing" and "so cool" it's actually very sad and quite shocking.

  what, people cant even enjoy their wedding day without the cult invading their special day.

  2017 Circuit Assembly: Lesbians at school demonstration

  by darkspilver in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  steve2: is there some way this can be presented so that it is crystal clear what was actually in the demonstrations and what was added?

  i guess some will think it should be obvious - but this is where misunderstandings arise because we end up wrongly attributing something to jw organization that was never said.. circuit assembly theme: maintain love for jehovah!.

  note to speaker: warmly encourage young ones to prove their friendship with jehovah by observing his commandments and defending his standards.

  what started me thinking, was the societys very own book...' 'revelation..it's grand climax at hand'.

  Hey, what ever happened to Leolaia? Haven't seen her post in a LONG time. I hope she is ok. Her posts were some of the very best, well thought out, researched, and thought provoking. Truly scholarly.

  May I suggest, that your families attempt to spiritually manipulate you has now failed, they know it's failed, they know you're not coming back, so now they are "playing the victims", and also victim shaming you? May I also suggest that your mother is a Narcissist, and loves the attention and pity party she receives from her "spiritual family?"

  Pale, I've been following your story ever since you joined this forum. Your ex-wife, JW family, etc are toxic, absolutely toxic assholes. I would never, EVER let me kids around them unsupervised. That would be my condition of seeing my kids, that it would be supervised by me. They would NOT treat me as a sub-human being as they do you, and still get the "privilege" of seeing my kids. F' them!

  The only person even salvageable in your situation is possibly your brother. He is not fully "in" yet it seems, and your planting of seeds and making him think may prove very productive. The fact that he calls you in "secret" even though he knows by JW standards he not supposed to, is very promising.

  So your mom blocked your #? Feel free to block hers, along with her email address and any other social media. If she ever decides she wants a relationship with your children AND YOU, well I guess she can come to YOUR house, apologize for her incredibly heartless behaviour, and address you like a human being again.

  hi everyone i don't even know where to begin.

  i recently saw leah remini's series on scientology thanks to my husband (semi-active jw) and i felt like my eyes were being opened for the 1st time in my adult life.

  i felt shaken almost sick to my stomach with each episode i watched.

  Hello, and Welcome! In your first post, you mentioned that you were watching Lena Remini's Scientology show because of your semi-active JW husband. Later, you state about not knowing whom to talk to about your concerns?

  May I suggest, that your "semi-active" JW husband, is NOT semi-active at ALL, but was merely playing the part until he could get you to watch this show, see the similarities, and awaken you to the fact that you've been raised in a high-control cult?

  May I suggest speaking privately with your husband about how this show made you feel, and ask him if he had the same feelings? You may be pleasantly surprised at his response and reaction. :-)

  What woke me up? Gees........where do I begin??? I was born-in. Mentally "awoken" by age 10, attended meetings until age 15, started searching Yahoo! at age 19 as I had nagging questions. Fully out and realized it was a cult by age 22. Never returned. Age 37 now.

  Q for Nathan Natas: Before you left your congregation, did you clue in that young sister with 2 young children? I sure hope so!
