  the title of the assembly is "imitate jehovah".

  What woke you up?

  by Israel Ricky Gonzales in

  2. experiences

  in march of 2014, i was a very active jw, a ministerial servant, gave a public talk, was an attendant for the memorial, and one of 4 cleaning captains for an international convention of 40,000+ attendees.

  so what woke me up?

  an innocent comment from a co-worker about the candice conti court case rang a bell that could not be unrung.

  Local Congregation Takes Away My Dad's Phone Hook-Up (HE'S 85 YRS. OLD)

  by NoMoreHustle in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this happened about 6 months ago, didn't really have an opportunity to post about it (been busy), but they still haven't given back his password for the phone hook-up.

  they say that this is direction from the "branch office".

  i think it's complete bs, the real reason why they are doing this is to punish me & my family because i am basically a ghost when it comes to meetings & any type of activity.

  by WingCommander in

  2. friends

  anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

  bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

  i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

  In Ireland, where handguns are illegal, only the criminals have them. Citizens get shot by these criminals. Citizens who aren't allowed to legally own handguns to defend themselves.

  How are you spreading TTATT?

  by vinman in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just wondering if anyone has used any underhanded ways of spreading ttatt.

  i mean, has anyone made up business cards or tracts and spread them far and wide?

  i would love to engage in this "alternative witnessing".

  I only tell non-witnesses I know to basically steer-clear of the cult.

  Definitely not a light yoke.

  2. experiences

  so when i was at luch today, my wife was in full cult mode.

  she started in on me about us not being able to hang with other witnesses and when i go to the meetings with her that i don't talk with nobody nor pay attention and act angry.

  i told her that i don't want to fight and i have better things to do than argue.

  Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if I told him I wanted to leave the org, he'd divorce me pretty quick...

  The Org is terrified of apostates

  by SecretSlaveClass in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i knew apostasy was a serious concern for the org, but until i watched this video, i had no idea how afraid they actually were.

  all this guy wants is to do is not turn in his fs hours and immediately they (elders) set about drilling him about who are what influenced his decision, as if he was incapable of making his own (which as the elders confirm, in the org is highly discouraged).

  they are convinced he has been communicating with apostates or visiting apostate web sites.

  Wait until they find out that Christianity is nothing more than a fantastical Caesar cult...
