  if you had the power to print millions of watchtowers & awakes and you could see to it that the articles that you wrote got to all the readers, give a sampling of what the articles highlighting "spiritual food" would say.

  when friends and family of dr. robert scherz gather saturday to remember his life, they will talk about a pediatrician who was passionate about his profession, his faith and his family - but most of all about the welfare of children.

  an innovative blood saving machine is being

  May I second that with so what? I see nothing there that is going to get me to jump in my car and drive to my local kingdom hall. How about feeding the poor? How about providing medicine to those that can't afford it? How about helping victims of abuse? I was naked and you gave me a watchtower, I was hungry and you gave me a watchtower, I was depressed and you gave me a watchtower.

  You do not haave to be present at a JC to be be DFed, but you need to be invited and their needs to be two elders in your presence to inform you of thier decision. You could of been marked as a bad ass, with a local talk that puts everyone on guard not to be your friend, but still ok to say hi.

  JWs - What Proves That They're a Cult

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think one major point that proves that the jw's are a cult is that you can't leave without being stigmatized.

  all you have to do for other religions is take your name of the membership log or just resign.

  for jw's you can't leave unless you're df'd or da'd.

  Cults are hard to get out of. I think many of us had very difficult times leaving because we had it pounded into our heads that everyone and everything outside the Jws was Satanic. You're told not to question things, your faith is weak if you doubt. Personal decisions are made on Wrathtower articles, so the decision in affect has already been made. Going againt the spirit of the organization brings rebuke, sometimes removal. They convince you that we need them 5 times a week, to live forever, not to mention they train you to study it on your own at home. Can't give an opprotunity for the devil you know. Vacations without a meeting is an implied sin. When can a person ever breath without their influence?

  I gave up a $60,000 starting pay job when I graduated college, to pioneer, in 1984. The new world was just around the corner. I made $14,000 that year. Hey Watchtower, you sat on your ass in New York getting a free ride on people like me. Not anymore, and in the long run I believe that the word is getting out that you really are the same as the people you condemn, you can't hide from the truth anymore.

  Oh, the inconsistency of it all!!

  over the years it has become clear that controlling bodies seeking to regulate their members are prone to inconsistencies, even contradictions.. .

  the borg is not immune from that.. .

  why is it that wedding rings are allowed, but confetti isn't?.

  Why is a brother not disfellowshipped for child abuse, when he breaks 50 bones in his childrens body? He did jail time for this, yet stays a member of the JWs? Yet, a sister is disfellowshipped for lying about her friend seeing a worldly man?

  Why is a 15 year girl old disfellowshipped for having sex with a 33 year old brother. Where I live that is considered rape, not fornication.

  Why is a trauma to move out from an organisation like the j.w ?

  by arancia in

  i was converted j.w about 15years ago but last year i got to know what sort of people they were in reality.

  my husband and i made the decision in five minutes.within few days we sent a very brief letter that stated in few words that we were living the oganisation disgusted for what we so in tv on channel 9 the previous sunday.

  we reach very fast that decision because we freely and voluntarily got in ,therefore with the same spirit got out.

  Because they (lie) tell you God is going to destroy you if you do. The longer you're around that, the harder to break free. The other lie is that you can't be happy without them. Wrong!!!!!! I will admit the transition was very difficult, but the thought of going back to a bunch of control freaks makes me crindge. Glad to be out and glad to be free!!!!!!

  i once went to a baby shower for a sister and planned on having a good time.

  there were only sisters there and some brought their children.

  the shower was held at a community center clubhouse.

  #11 other We had 2 congregations using the same hall. One had a surplus of about $20,000, the other was almost broke. All expenses for everything was spilt down the middle. I use to think how unloving of the rich one not to pay a little more and take some of the burden off of your sister cong. I heard the accounts report in both. Rich--thank-you for your loving support, poor--always reminded of up coming expenses.
