  Hi Toby!

  Welcome from Asia.

  Glad to know that you are not alone in your family to mentally/physically leave this suffocating organization.

  Sign at gilead graduation

  by Gorbatchov in

  2. friends

  you know, i'm not such a conspiracy thinker.

  but why do they display this sign / symbol at the background?

  with some litle imagination it is a freemason sign.

  They could have chosen a painting of a flower, or a sunset, a serene landscape

  or of the imagine PARADISE itself. But, no. Why?

  I smelled something was amiss with how the WT/GB handles the monetary donation of its members. So, I think I haven't contributed a cent for the past 7 years.

  Mind Numbing Meetings

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  without a doubt, jw life is boring.

  and those meetings!

  5 congregation meetings, meetings for field service, elders meetings, judicial meetings, meetings to figure out who was qualified to clean the toilets....🤔.

  - Sitting on those hard benches during an assembly on a hot humid day
  

  - Constantly sighing as quietly as possible as my eyes continue to roll up because of the manipulative talks

  - Lip synching to the KH songs eventually

  - Being assigned to clean the restroom after the meeting

  - Being assigned to do a "part" in the "ministry school"

  - Always trying to start with depressing news or a sad condition during conversations just so the WT "truth / hope" can be injected

  - Packing or ordering meals for the assembly

  - Monotonous or overly emphatic speakers

  Ahhh, good memories

  How Would You Help A JW. Recognize They Do Not Have The Truth?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every witness says they are “ in the truth”.

  that expression implies that what they say is the “truth “.

  how could you help a witness understand that they clearly do not have “the truth “?.

  I agree with ToesUp.

  They have to come to a point where they open their eyes and say, "So I was asleep all along?".

  They have to experience something that will make them do a double-take and ask, "Really?".

  We can only be there to listen to them and throw some non-confrontational questions,

  or just think out loud something quite trivial as being slightly tired instead of being motivated after a study, etc.

  If they have even the slightest real desire for what is true, what is just, what is right, and what is kind,

  somehow their heart will open up.... I hope.

  i was raped by two brothers when i was 12 in vancouver.

  one was an elder who i trusted beyond belief and the other was his 18 year old son, who i had a huge crush on.

  it changed my life forever, i became a slut, sleeping with every brother i could of which there was an endless supply.

  Hi Asian sister,

  I'm sorry to hear about your experience early in life. While stories like this are quite a shock to me, I know that many other JWs are struggling in many many ways I cannot imagine.

  I hope you get the help that you need. We are here to listen to you.

  By the way, I notice that we are both from the same continent..

  Warm regards,

  OND

  Out of context

  by Nomorejwguilt in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’m just curious to hear other people’s input on different scriptures or quotes from the society or witnesses that are used out of context.

  i’ve always found it funny when a scripture is quoted and applied to whatever point they’re trying to make, but where it was taken from in the bible passage has nothing to do with what they’re getting at..

  Welcome to the forum, Nomorejwguilt!

  Like you I also noticed this practice of the WT organization, which is one of the things that awakened me.

  If you are ready and able to do so, please feel free to share with us your story (without divulging too much info to keep your privacy). We are here to listen to you.

  Warm regards
