Umbertoecho here.
by umbertoecho inhello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.
helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.
i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.

Thank you for your courage. I can't begin to imagine the horror of it all and having to re-live it in the courts. You and all the victims are in my thoughts. My thanks to those who are there to help you and others who have also suffered. Wishing you a bright future, all the best, carla -

cha ching said, " I have seen the propagandized lines of the WT take people's brains over right before my eyes."- I have seen that too and it can be quite scary when you first see it!
I wish you well with the letter. I hope she reads it but worry that her jw-ism will kick in and she won't get past many parts. Is there one thing you could start with? is she willing to have an actual discussion vs the usual jw cut and paste/parrot the wt style? I know how hellish those jw 'discussions' can be and perhaps letters are the way to go. If she can manage to stay on topic.

Two JDubs just knocked on my door !
by Phizzy inthe exclamation mark in the title above is because i was surprised, as i know that i am a "do not call", but this was what i presume were now two elders,(i have not been told their present status), so they reckon they are equipped to handle me, lol.
it was a friendly chat, as i knew the guys for decades.. during the course of our chat i was able to lead them towards jwfacts.com, i did this by a circuitous route which i will not bore you with, but right at the end i said that bro russell had said no matter what the source of truth was, it was still truth.. i am hoping they do not fear going to the site, i also pointed out that paul grundy says if anything is wrong on his site, e-mail him and he will correct it.. i did get a couple of digs in, said the gb were now like rock stars, one guy said "i don't think they would like you calling them that", so i said " o.k, tv evangelists then".
he had no reply to that barb !.

ignoring the juvenile ......
If you would rather they didn't show up even after being a do not call I suggest you write NY and ask them if they would please honor the do not call! Yeah I know, it will get them in trouble but..... it might show jw's like our new friend Mark that it is indeed a cult when these two are marked for disobeying orders. There will be repercussions from knocking on a do not call door, I know this from personal experience.
If they are diehard jw's they must be willing to walk the line, that includes taking the punishment. After all, it is only done out of love right? when the cong has to treat them like shit for a reason they will never know, they can feel the love of the society in which they live.

I can hardly believe this!!!!!!!
I have been to churches where modern type music was played (guitars,drums,etc..) but never, ever did they mix Elvis & Sister Sledge with Christian rock or hymnal type music. What on earth is going on here?
Dancing? the guy gyrating his hips on stage? all that clapping and bowing at the end?! Isn't that giving to much honor to those mere humans?
I don't get it, it seems so anti jw I am dumbfounded.
I would bet my last dollar that if I showed this to my jw he would say it was some made up thing by apostates to make the borg look bad.

Years ago son raised a few years as a JW. Now struggles with depression
by Check_Your_Premises inbackground:.
i spent some time here awhile back as an unbelieving mate of a jw wife.
i learned a lot, and was able to be supportive and understanding when she decided to leave the jw.. unfortunately, my son seems to have internalized many of the jw teachings.

Hey CYP! remember me? another ubm, still hanging around.
Sorry to hear about your son. Blondie has excellent advice as always.
Yet another reason to keep kids away from the jw's if at all possible.
Wishing you and your son peace. -carla

For those who can't understand why it is rude as hell- First off you were not invited to even be knocking on their door, secondly on Christmas people are busy with their families creating loving memories and do not want jw's interrupting that family time, thirdly, how would jw's react if a bunch of folks showed up to picket or even silently pray for jw's at the kh on their reject Jesus memorial day? they would be hopping mad, think it rude and in all likelihood call the police.
They are not out doing what they think is right trying to save the world, they are out trying to get their time in and look extra pious in the eyes of other jw's at the k-hell.
Perhaps they should keep it up because on Monday when everybody is back to work they will tell how some @$$%@^$ jw showed up while company was there trying to convert them away from Jesus on the day many celebrate to commemorate the birth of Jesus. I can hardly imagine being a jw and walking past the sign in someones yard " Jesus is the reason for the season" and still having the nerve to knock on Christmas.

JW Version Of Spring Cleaning
by JW_Rogue infrom the january study edition second study article paragraph 10:.
we can use the memorial season as an opportunity to look through our wardrobe, our movie and music collections, perhaps even the material stored on our computers, smartphones, and tablets.if i were going to a place where jesus would be present, would i feel uncomfortable wearing this clothing?if i did wear it, would it be obvious to all that i am a follower of christ jesus?would jesus be entertained by watching this movie or by listening to this music?
if he borrowed my cell phone or tablet, would i be embarrassed by what he saw there?as you consider the subject matter of a video game, ask yourself: would i find it difficult to explain to jesus why i enjoy playing it?

What is next for them? WWJD bracelets? I am astonished by this article because they so rarely give Jesus more than lip service. Are they trying to appear more palatable to the mainstream?
