at least three media venues have undertaken the daunting task of unpacking the insidious dark side of jehovah's witnesses' organization.1.
douglas quenqua is a writer based in new york.
his work has appeared in the new york times, wired, redbook, and cnbc.
I'd like state that there is A LOT coming out in south-central Pennsylvania region right now as well.

ALL have had stories running in the past month. More is on the horizon.
it’s quite affirming to see the horrific material that they’re serving up at the convention this year.
aside from blatant homophobia, the scenes at the end of the convention that are discussed on another thread stoop to new levels of fear mongering.
it seems to occur to nobody inside the organisation that this kind of material could trigger fear, deprsssion, anxiety, stress.
Cofty above brought up a good point. This type of "End Game" induced mentality is EXACTLY the type of crap Jim Jones and Koresh used right before they circled the wagons one last time for a "Last Stand." Could they actually call the truly elite faithful up to WT HQ, to ride it out thru the Great Tribulation and Big A? Nothing would surprise me at this point, NOTHING.
SIDEBAR: JW's depiction of an elite paramilitary fighting force is really lame. The rifles are just "ok", and the sights are the cheapest crap available, certainly not Trijicon, Vortex, or NightForce quality. Uniforms are years behind and seemingly incomplete as well. However, I assume they did this to look about "Generic Paramilitary" as they could for the Sheeple around the world.
Truly, they have ramped up the "Crazy."
spoke to my younger brother dan yesterday (he da'd about 6 months ago).
he was telling me that he got a visit from our older brother the day before.
our older brother was raised a jw but never committed, lives a full-on "worldly" life - smokes, binge drinks, hangs out with non-jws, but he's been studying for about 6 years would you believe?.
The stupid.....it burns......it BURNS!!!!!!
anyone that you miss from this site, dead or alive??.
i miss farkel, blondie and a host of others!.
It's in Florida. It would be more appropriate in PA or NY. lol
4 zombies at the door.
i come out with the nwt and ask who wants to talk about the bible.
if you don't want to talk about the bible why the fuck did you knock and counting time.
maga hat...make america great again .
guy wears it in nyc bar and gets thrown out.
manhattan court throws out the case citing that since its not religious discrimination, it’s the bar’s right.. what so you think about this?
So it's ok to thrown a White paying patron out of a bar for wearing a MAGA hat, but if you ask 2 Black men to leave a Starbucks because they didn't buy anything and are loitering about, and when they refuse, they are trespassing and you call the cops - that's DISCRIMINATION? Yep, that's what the USA has come down to. This country is f*cked.
hey forum goers.
i'd like your opinions on constructing an email reply to this shocker below.
bit of background about the sender: she is a middle-aged, cheery uberdub whose siblings left when a schism occured in her congregation in canada way back when.
"You owe Jehovah humility and honesty. He doesn't favour the intellectual ones who are proud and showy with their academic knowledge."
So......this person DARES to condescend to actually know how YHWH views "intellectual ones?" What a narcassist!!!
Funny, the BIBLE actually has a different take on the subject. The little-known example of how the Apostle Paul praised the Boreans for questioning not just him, but the message he brought forth, might be a good example to use on her to shut her up. And just think, Paul was an actual APOSTLE, not some clown-faced retard like Stephen Lett!!!!!! So I tend to think YHWH appreciates people with a brain, not just brainless, autonomous, robotic, idiots like your janitorial friend. Say, how's not getting an education working out for HER? No wonder she doesn't like "intellectual ones", because she's so far removed from being or understanding them.
just had to share... a former friend of my wife's, has just left our house, unbeknown to us, her and her husband have been inactive for about a year and a half, they have pre teen boys too.
she reached out to my wife as she had heard that we were apostates etc and needed someone to talk to.. .
after her father dying she was in a bad place mentally and emotionally and reached out to her cong for support, apon receiving 0 she turned to the bible for comfort only in her raw emotional state to realize that jehovah was a murderous unfair god and then her wheels of rational reasoning started turning.. she questioned things and was outspoken about things and attracted elder attention... long story short she wanted to connect with a friendly ear and she splurged she's never going back, the bible is all bulls**t and it's a cult, despite not knowing most of ttatt we all shared experiences and watched her eyes boggle at (stuckinarut... the first euphoric high) the un scandal, beth sarim, ray franz, 607, arc.
Similar thing happened in my family, several times actually.
Father on death bed at home: Zero concern or help from JW's. Mother was told to pray more, be more regular at the meetings, and more active in the field ministry. This, even though she was a full-time breadwinner and mother.
Grandmother on death bed at nursing home: Zero concern or help from JW's. My mother was told to cook her meals.
Mother on death bed in large University Hospital: Zero concern or help from JW's. Upon calling PO Elduh, was told I was interrupting his dinner, and that I should call the local Elduh's in the area. (she was away for organ transplant) Elduh then promptly hung up without so much as a word of spiritual encouragement. I was in a large parking garage, alone, with a cell phone. I picked my jaw up off the floor, hung my head in disbelief and abandonment, and cried my eyes out. The next day, a van load of my mom's "worldly" co-workers showed up. The took the day off, drove 225 miles in a rented van, and made my mother smile on her last day on earth.
JW's are USELESS in times of need or family tragedy. USELESS. The only thing the Elduh's care about is if you're warming a seat, filling out your timeslip, and DONATING MONEY. You are a number, and a forgettable, expendable, replaceable number at that.
Fuck this cult, and the slimy, weaselly, uncaring zombies who willfully remain in it. I'll NEVER forget the shitty treatment my entire family received from these holier-than-thou, self-righteous POSEURS!
