Be careful what you wish for (in case you want to wake up your spouse)

by nevaagain in

i want to spare you a long post about my background.

because this topic is about something else.a small information is that i knew ttatt before i got married.

but then i somehow pushed it back for quite some time because i didnt want to change my life and it was convenient to instantly meet new people when you move into a new city.couple of years into my marriage and seeing all the changes in the jw my thirst for ttatt resurfaced.

DJS

nevaagain,

I don't mean to be mean, but you have been a member of this site for 15 years. You state that you have known that the WT was a cult for a long time - I'm assuming for at least 15 years. And yet, again I'm assuming you met and married the dub girl after you knew the truth about the cult, you decided to give it a go and marry her. Your comments do not seem to relate to having met and married her before you knew it was all a big bunch of steaming manure. If so, ignore some of my comments.

You are reaping the results of very bad decisions you have made even though you should have known what would or could occur. WTF did you think would happen? That you would fall in love with the Dark Lords all over again? What is it about the cult that gives you comfort? Hedging your bets just in case???

And now the WWOTE has threatened to out you to the elders. Yes, definitely a keeper. And she has made up a ridiculous reason why she wouldn't sleep with you. Again, a keeper. And she is texting other guys (I mean, really neva, "wordily" WTF??? I mean really, What. Tha. F**k? Wordly? You are dub through and through). And you are allowing her to blame shift her behaviors and beliefs to you. Dude, she's an entitled narcissist. You are enabling her.

Oh yes, a keeper, keeper, keeper. If you are an emasculated, simple minded man who needs to grow a pair - or find them where you are storing your brain. You aren't using either one of them.

Hop on the bus, GUS.

Dutch TV crew kicked out of Circuit Assembly

by Anders Andersen in

in the netherlands, a tv crew for powned (a website/tv station known for their non-conventional approach and love for controversy) visited a circuit assembly.

the video starts with them asking 'is everyone welcome here, even criminals, bikers, gays?

', and the answer is of course yes.. then the clip focuses on asking dubs questions about gays and the caleb video.. in the end the crew is asked to stop filming and leave.

Thanks Anders,

I see a lot of comments to the story. Can you give us an idea of the views of those commenting?

The Congregational Make Up Research Project: WTB&TS wants to know you.

by oppostate in

we have a bethel speaker on the english side.

they're pretty regular up here since it's only three and a half hours drive from nyc.. but this is a special kind of visit.. it turns out he's involved in doing a special research project and the christian congregation of jw's wants to know us better.. in order for the broadcasting to address issues more meaningful for families, they want to know the demographic make up of the congregations.. he spoke with the secretary about young single publishers and couples 20-35 y.o.

how are they employed.

Londo,

Manipulation and control are the primary tools emoyed by the Dark Lords since their inception. They excel at it, especially the sociological part, routinely pitting the rank and file against one another over conscience matters made to appear as laws.

They appear to have finally discovered data analytics, which have been used by businesses for decades to target market and manipulate buying decisions by consumers.

The Dark Lords simply have a new shiny toy to play with, but their objectives will remain the same. To maintain an iron fisted control over the rank and file, by any means necessary.

As they teach you in MBA class, you can't control what you don't measure. They are in the process of measuring.

Actually it is an effective tool for managing. They want to assess cash flows in the future and to develop tools to stop the bleeding of the best and brightest and those exiting due to major generational shifts.

Those tools sadly will be more machievellian control mechanisms and targeted guilt and shaming. We've seen the handwriting on the wall with the sisters shouldn't marry a brother unless he is or wants to be an MS statements and the Sophia don't say gay video you all are talking about.

I would not expect kinder gentler Dark Lords. And yes je suis, it reeks of desperation, and that is most excellent.

Awake #4/2016: Homosexuality

by Designer Stubble in

the new awake is up on jw.orgwith the legalization of gay marriage in many countries, they decided it was time to show: "what does thebible say about homosexuality?

"does the bible promote prejudice?still, some people would say that the bible promotes prejudice against homosexuals and that those who adhere to itsmoral code are intolerant.

‘the bible was written at a time when people were narrow-minded,’ they claim.

DJS

Well stated Cofty: I refuse to make excuses for any human being based on their race or culture.

The subjugation of women is where Islam begins and ends. And it is based on the poor pathetic Muslim males, none of whom can apparently control their urges. Muslim males are infantalized by their culture and religious beliefs. Poor little boys.

A woman who shows her body in any manner is deserving of scorn, rape, even death, because poor little Muhammed just can't help his pathetic little self. And if a man rapes a woman, even his daughter, the Islamic leaders can find a way to blame shift it to the woman, even if she is a 12 year old girl.

From hijabs to burkas to forced genital mutilation to women not being able to drive or vote, et al, it all begins and ends with the premise that pathetic weak Muslim males just can't help their pathetic weak selves.

JWDaughter, why you bought into this nonsense is beyond me. It is a disgusting culture deserving of annihilation. And please don't come back with the nonsense about all Muslims not being that way. As Free Mind Fade pointed out a few weeks ago, there are snippets and portions of this type of behavior and thinking in every Muslim/Islamic culture, teaching, country because it can be found in their holy book. And after that let's get rid of the hate filled x-tians.

That is what this planet sorely needs right now.

KH sign.. No "school" mentioned.

by zeb in

jw
friends

recently i saw a posting asking if the australian kh's had the 'ministry school' deleted from their signs.. the local hall does with "midweek meeting" and their is no mention of "ministry ..school".

.

now its a fair guess that all kh will have the same signage at the front..

DJS

nonjwspouse hit the nail on the head. There are laws in most places that require convicted pedophiles to avoid living/hanging out near 'schools.'

The change is lawsuit, liability driven. Calling it a school creates a lot of potential issues, such as elders and the Dark Lords taking immediate steps to limit access to the KH 'school' for either convicted pedophiles or those who have flown under the radar due to the Dark Lords' evil policies. Since there are still a lot of these individuals meandering about the KHs, they had no other choice but to get rid of the term 'school.'

All Gays Are Perverts

by Coded Logic in

"scientists may never resolve exactly how much of a role nature and nurturing play in same-sex attraction.

but one thing is clear: all humans are born with the tendency to succumb to wrong thinking and inclinations.

--romans 3:23. a youth who desires to please god must therefore conform to his moral standards and shun immoral behavior, though doing so may be agonizingly difficult.

DJS

Coded,

Some of this stuff I've said before. The LGBT issue wasn't a defining or primary reason I became sick of the Dark Lords. The Dark Lords were the primary reason I became sick of the Dark Lords. However, as I matured and observed the world around me (as a dub-elder), it was apparent to me that people don't tend to choose their sexual preferences. I also began to view what consenting adults do in private as none of anyone's business while still an el-dub. And even if someone isn't born that way, what difference does it make. Besides NONE. If god doesn't have anything better to do than police my privates, then she can kiss my ass. And spend her time in more honorable pursuits, such as end the wars, stop the genocides, the famines, the honor killings . . . . .

But the LGBT issue was definitely one of the primary bricks in my J-dub/theist wall that I evaluated, analyzed and then removed and cast away. In addition to simple observation of the world around me, I recall the exact moment when I looked at my 2 beautiful, amazing, talented children, both of whom I have been crazy stupid close to since the moment they were born, and realized that I could/would never DF them from my life if either or both turned out to be LGBT. I was in the KH, looking at both of them, and realized what a surreal and hate filled world the cult I belonged to was.

Within a year or so I was out, along with my amazing children.
