JWdaughterMy mom thinks she has a big secret that is known only to those at the hall.
So, she tells me today has some interesting news, but she can't tell me what it is. Eventually, she revealed that her news was from the hall, but said it is a secret and she really can't talk about it. So, I say to her--you mean about how the bookstudy is changing and not on a different night anymore? And she DENIES IT. THIS ALL happened after she 'casually' mentioned all the many, many earthquakes they are having in Reno where my aunt lives. My aunt is terrified of earthquakes (former JW. Wonder why they scare her????) Anyway, she DENIED that the news had anything to do with the BS. And she kept playing coy with her secret at the KH. What the HECK kind of game is she playing? Is she thinking that the big secret will draw me back in?

Or does someone think you are an apostate or leanings toward? And should not be told of theocratic things?

Just a thought,

She knows what I am:) ! I am just wondering why she flat out lied about what is going on when I mentioned the BS. She kept going on like it was her little secret, when obviously, I KNOW. Just weird.

There are no secrets anymore,thanks to internet leaks. Holding onto secrets gives the illusion, of having special knowlegde and for the governing body special powers. Even the elders flock book, (dictators manuel) isn't sacred ground anymore. Nothing special there.

My mom too, can't beleive I know things,soemtimes even before she does,and I havn't set foot in a kingdom hall, maybe twice in 20 years.

If the witnesses wern't so cruel by shunning folks and creating enemies, maybe they would still have some secrets. Unfortunately they have created a huge appetite for their own imminent demise in the form of disgruntled if not downright pissed off followers and ex followers.                     Stupid!

There is a wide range of talent that can get whatever info  it likes,inside and outside,the organization. . All it takes is one person in the know and it spreads like wildfire. ( Don't you wish your watchtower rag could do the same thing?)

The watchtower now stands naked. Naked about it's past, which it can't bury. Naked about it's miconcepetions in theology, Naked in it's guilt of the innocent.

Now more than ever, the majority see that the emporer has no clothes.

Tyrone - what a great post - you have excelled yourself.

You have totally nailed the situation so beautifully.

It's just such a shame it's so true.

She sounds like a snotty 7 year old who likes to taunt you with a great secret that they can't tell but end up telling you anyway, but don't tell anybody else ok? I only told you because your special.

Inside herself tho when you blew her big secret she was going DAAAAAAAAMN!!! But she couldnt let you know that or it would have made her look weak and her Borg as full of holes as Swiss Cheese. But see because she doesnt talk to you about "spiritual matters" she doesnt ever have to tell you her "real secret" which doesnt exist so shes covered. :)

I told my husband who is still a Jw...as he was walking out the door on Saturday and it was like talking to a Charlie Brown character. All he heard from me was waaaa wa waaaa wa waaaaa. :)

But I said it.  Its fun being in the drivers seat.

I don't see how they think they have any big secrets known only to those in the Kingdumb Hell.  Every time the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger tries to do that, all it takes is one apostate to open their big mouth and post it on the Internet.  Then the apostates are going to end up learning it long before those in the Kingdumb Hells know.  By the time they find out that "big secret", it is old news to us apostates.

Great comments from all, as usual. The more I consider this-and it has been on my mind since I spoke to her. . .The more I am just disturbed at her flat out lying to me. You all need to understand-we have a pretty good relationship. We love each other, get along, talk all the time. We pretty much leave religion out of it, but her lying and coy attitude about it just makes me wonder about her. How insane is it to flat out deny what is easily found to be the truth? I have always thought she had some integrity- a weird JW code, but still something I could count on regarding her honesty to me directly. Things like this more fully convince me that she is in a (flat out, no nice 'sect/religion') CULT. I am calling my sister today to unload on her (poor thing), but I am increasingly wondering about Mom's sanity and/or her integrity.

The Aid to Bible Understanding book says jws are only obligated to tell the truth to people who deserve to hear it--it's called theocratic wafare.  Anyway, she was only playing by the society's rules, so there is no integrity there. 

How insane is it to flat out deny what is easily found to be the truth?

Well, how can jws continue to deny the sex abuse cases, the doctrinal flip flops, etc. when they are all over the Internet and the national news?  It's easy--it's called DENIAL.
