  i could go on and on about my personal journey over the last 2 years or so, but i don't need to.

  everything i needed to hear to finally lay my doubts to rest happened on one meeting night.

  it could only be divine providence.

  Leaving the JW's

  nobody should feel obligated to explain themselves to the elders, or anyone else for that matter.

  just quietly leave and never go back if an opportunity presents itself..

  I have said a thousand things that contradict the governing body and all the elders both in person, by email and phone. No one has come after me. Perhaps because the only material I ever used was their very own literature and statements. There is simply no way they can talk their way out of it or refute anything.. as every word was from their very own governing bodies mouth.

  is it normal for the elders in your congregation to spy on you through your wife?

  texting her to see whats up with you and what your doing or saying etc.

  Fat Girls Guide to Life book

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  anyone read the "fat girl's guide to life"?

  i am reading it right now and finding it pretty interesting.

  it makes me think outside the box a little bit about how much money is spent on products for people to lose weight, and how much money saturates the market and influences so much of the media.. the author's attitude is one i try to have-- exercise, be balanced in eating habits, drink water, take nutrition supplements, and don't obsess over dieting & what the scale says or about other people's judgements toward my weight.. right now, i already know why i am overweight-- i am eating to deal with my bipolar issues.

  Christmas is WRONG!

  by thesaint in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you all should be ashamed of your egotistical selves.

  how can you leave god's organization to celebrate the work of satan the devil?

  it just goes to show you how jehovah's christian witnesses are correct about how persons will leave the truth for their own selfish desires.. first off, christmas is a pagan holiday and it proves no spirit with the almighty jehovah and his son, the christ.

  Disfellowshipping

  by Legacy in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i wanted to know if anyone on here was df'd or know of any who were...why i ask is because many of the friends i have spoken to, say it's not done, just like that.

  it's a process.

  i have spoken to a re-instated sister and she said by the time they see you, you are pretty much out.

  Protocol Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture.

  PCATI argues that “torture is a means of attacking an individual’s fundamental modes of psychological and social functioning” as described in the Istanbul Protocol.

  The Watchtower organisation openly practices torture with disfelloshipping on a global scale.

  Keeping you ignorant is the Watchtower Society's POWER over you!

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  quite simply, most jw's are scared as heck of ever reading information critical of the watchtower society.

  deep down they genuinly fear their 'faith' wouldn't stand it.. ignorance and resisting contrary information is the final defense for jw's.

  it is the fall-back position they mentally run to at the slightest bit of criticism.

  Watchtower April 1, 1920, pp100, 101

  We would not refuse to treat one as a brother because he did not believe the Society is the Lord's channel. If others see it in a different way, that is their privilege. There should be full liberty of conscience.

  At the start of this sentence they say they should not do a thing.. and the end they say the very opposite is also fine.

  Watchtower double speak at it's best.

  Are you saying everything stays here for ever Simon? 13 years is an awful long time don't you think?

  Maybe when people register you should warn them that anything they say or do here will be kept for ever ala the N.S.A and not just slam them with the somewhat brusk and curt response as you did to the sincere question above.

  People should have some rights over their identities (even if fake) and data. You don't really own the members you know.

  You have already made it impossible for anyone to ever clear or delete personal messages and ignored many requests to allow people control of their own inboxes.

  What's this seeming hostilty towards peoples freedoms and privacy that you often disply? Is all this data your private property?
