  No. Problems in cults are not irradicated by an even distribution of power among males and female members.

  A cult is a cult is a cult is a cult.

  And remember, behind almost every GB member or DO or CO or common elder is a woman. A wife who we all know really runs the show.

  Plus their brains are 10% smaller..

  I imagine in the org they could bring as much heart, love and joy as did the inclusion of female Nazi officers to the inhabitants of German concentration camps.

  Every relationship that ends painfully goes through a period of nitpicking. Even the woman or man you maybe once loved and adored and admired can suddenly become annoying, rude, insensitive, spotty, ugly, fat and smelly and outright obnoxious in every imaginable way in your eyes once you discover they have betrayed you by sleeping with your best friend behind your back.

  It's the reverse of falling in love.

  Is this the start of a change of policy regarding individual JWs preparing internet pages.

  this is a quote of a quote taken from anthoney mathenia:.

  " for organizations like the watchtower, absolute control of their message is paramount.

  it will not even allow its own adherents to spread their good news online.

  I emailed them the Kingdom Ministry exactly 21 hours ago asking why they are disobeying their governing body in creating their own website. The entire site is now gone.

  Oooh can't watch this yet, I'm going through the entire series slowly and carefully and am up to No. 12. Watching these for me is a revelatory and liberating as reading 'Captives of a Concept' and even more so for me than 'Crisis of Conscience'. This Winston fellow is a Godsend! Pun intended.

  the leaks from the new november watchtower are alarming.

  they will disturb even longtime jws who haven't surrendered all rational thought.

  it's become so cult like its scary.

  You can not imagine how glad and grateful I am that my spirit compelled me to flee this morbidly unhealthy group of people and their organization.

  They are nothing what so ever to do with any kind of benevolent, loving and kind God.. or any recognizable form of love at all.

  Examining the whole picture from the outside they look completely messed up on every level top to bottom, inside and out.

  I think one is better off taking ones chances out alone in the wilderness.

  Marlon Wayans: Robin Williams’ Suicide Likely Caused by Antidepressants

  "I don't think it's depression. I think it's chemical..."

  “I think there’s something in these medicines that people are taking for depression that’s making them depressed and making them commit suicide,” Wayans said. “I don’t think it’s depression. I think it’s chemical… He was such a joyful dude.”

  Wayans’ comments appear to confirm that Williams did indeed use antidepressants, a topic Williams himself causally joked about during at least one recent interview.

  “He’s so mellow,” Williams told Entertainment Tonight, describing producer David Kelley. “Talking to him is like taking a Prozac because you feel, you just feel good.”

  While drugs like Prozac may cause temporary relief for some, countless studies have found an undeniable link to suicidal thoughts, a side-effect even mentioned on the drug’s insert.

  Why Do Witnesses Promote A Unhealthy Lifestyle, My COBE weighs 340lbs (5ft 7in).

  by BucketShopBill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  please don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.

  i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.

  i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".
