Night and Day from GB to Writing committee? Someone explain?

by thedepressedsoul in

im sure by now most of you are familiar with anthony morris talk from this weekend.

im even seeing memes posted all over instagram from jw mocking it.. here is my question, why are the things written so different from how the gb members, like anthony morris are?

i know the gb dont actually write the stuff but i was under the impression that they come up with the spiritual light pass if off to the writing committee and they put it in the publications.

I agree with those that have already posted about cult techniques. The control of information is a way of controlling members. You are right, they will say one thing in a talk and something different in a WT study article, and something completely different on jw.org.

The information elders get is secret and different to what JWs get.

This can cause a lot of cognitive dissonance when you first realise it's going on. But when you understand it's a cult and it is what cults do you can move forward. Steve Hassan talks about this and can help you through it. I suggest you read Combatting cult mind Control. It's a good read and helps tp free up your mind.

My Breaking Point -- 11/9/14

i have enjoyed reading your comments during the past four years.

deep down inside, i have always been agnostic.

the first few chapters in genesis are contradictory and differing.. no one has ever been able to answer my question: "why was satan ever created?".

Thank you for posting after four years of lurking. Welcome to the site. Congratulations for taking the next step. Kate xx

Elders are going to the CO on me

i celebrated halloween and my birthday and the elders have been told.

husband told the elders i've called the religion a cult.

they said i'm "heading down a road to be an apostate.

KateWild

He's always wanted the elders approval and now with this "stand" he's taking he's finally gotten that.- cognac

It's a shame he thinks this way, you are obviously not going back as a submissive wife. I know how it feels, I exposed my ex for domestic violence and he lied to the elders about me to get me DF'd. It sounds like you need to get away for your own sanity.

Take care

You seem strong, decisive and optimistic. Your plan to move to a warm state and start a fresh with your kids seems really good. It was very amicable of you to invite your hubby even though you want a divorce. This shows you want the kids to have a relationship with their father.

Well done

Interview With An "Apostate": Just Kidding

by Divergent in

not all of these questions apply to me, so i will just leave an "-" for any which are irrelevant.

tell us a little about yourself and your family.i am a young adult in my 20's with family still in.

currently, it is totally impossible for me to leave due to family & business ties, as well as other reasons, so i am just lying low at the moment.

KateWild

Thank you Just kidding,

I hope you can fade soon. Kate xx

How does forum moderation work?

by Simon in

we've had a few comments lately that show that people don't seem to fully comprehend the way moderation works or the point of it.. if someone point something that other people don't like or agree with then that is a difference of opinion.

live with it.. if someone posts something that is crude, insulting, contains bad language etc.

then it violates the posting guildelines and can and should be removed.. now, sometimes we won't immediately notice a post that should be removed.

KateWild

Understood, thanks Simon. I pm'd you and made comments to the poster. You dealt with it well. Great job. Kate xx

cognac,

It sounds like they're confused how to move forward, or undecided amoungst the body, that's why they are involving your father and the CO. You have left and are moving on wonderfully. I hope this nonsense doesn't get in the way of you celebrating Xmas with your kids.

Go for it, power to you girl.

Inactive ones are bloodguilty?

by dissonance_resolved in

i've been thinking about brother morris' statement at the zone meeting this past weekend that inactive ones are bloodguilty.

bloodguilt is defined as "guilty of murder or manslaughter.

" murder is #1 on the list of disfellowshipping offenses- all they would have to do is change the wording from "murder" to "bloodguilt" and suddenly there you have grounds to disfellowship anyone who's inactive.

KateWild

I can't see WT Df'ing inactive ones. They want to keep the numbers up and as many have already said they want to keep the money rolling in. It's just manipulation, so some inactive ones who still believe will actually become more active. this stuff works, that's why they keep doing it.
