Cultish behavior at its best!

as a regular pioneer and even if she gave a gift, she'd be removed as a pioneer!
this woman is 80 years old and has been pioneering for over 40 years.
my mother also is a pioneer in a different congregation and she is wondering whether this is a new rule from the society or is something that the local congregation has decided.

even i am pretty shocked at this one... .
my daughter who is 20 years old and df'd for about 2 years now is attending meetings again.
but yesterday she tells me that she didn't feel like going to the meeting and that her mom probably wouldn't even know that she wasn't there.
Never heard of this. Although df'd ones are encouraged to sit close to the door so that they can leave immediately after the amen.

i'm not sure which religion or if it is about multiple religions... but dateline is doing a program about a distructive cult and it is starting right now,.

Watching it as we e-speak! Very interesting!
Kind of the same thing that happened to faithful Witnesses in Malaui, but what happened to them was in a much larger scale.

who here was an active witness, and decided to snoop around on a site like this, and left because of the information they found out on the net?
This will be me very soon!

as a married jw, did your spouse ever cheat on you with another jw?

I haven't experienced it just yet; but there was one sister that told me to watch out for my husband because there were hungry voltures surrounding him at the meetings when I didn't attend.
So, should he become weak, the possibility sure is there. At this point in life I feel pretty secure with my man, but one never knows.
I'm the type that feels very happy when with a man, but have been pretty happy as well when I've been single. So, no worries either way here.

do any here still believe in paradise earth, blood prohibitions, etc.??
?
Still believe there is no hell of fire; and, of course, the blood theory is still in me.

Blondie,
How do you continue to receive the WT mag? Do you also sit through the study at the weekly meeting?
Curious.

my husband and i are in the hispanic side of the watchtower and were having a grand time.

You gotta find your counterparts to make it bearable in this Organization. We sure found our kindred spirits and we're living it up.
Yesterday we went to this place, like a farm, and we did some serious dancing, dominos playing and socializing, the kids played all afternoon, and we just had a lot of laughs and such a nice time!!!
All Witnesses in good standing that just play it not so uptight like so many in our congregation.

Life is good as a Witness in ‘good standing’ still doing what I please!
My husband and I are in the Hispanic side of the Watchtower and we’re having a grand time. Just imagine, Caribeans partying a lot!
We just found a group of others like us that don’t necessarily agree with everything in the religion, but that don’t want to leave it either.
So we just hang out together, do our drinking, our nice partying on a weekly basis and carry on merrily. We’re a cool click within an uptight click, per say. Life is good!
Show me a person who doesn't have a struggle with his religion and I'll show you a liar. Just have to find the ones like you and make it fun for the duration!
