I have watched it a few times and cannot understand what is the big deal. How else, in a more tactful, loving way can JW parents communicate to their small kids their beliefs?

It was not hateful or accusatory. Nope! As many gripes as I have with the WTBTS, this stance would win in a court of law.

We need to focus outrage some place else.

Unreal.

Some people have no discretion. This was not the time nor the place.

Be careful what you wish for (in case you want to wake up your spouse)

i want to spare you a long post about my background.

because this topic is about something else.a small information is that i knew ttatt before i got married.

but then i somehow pushed it back for quite some time because i didnt want to change my life and it was convenient to instantly meet new people when you move into a new city.couple of years into my marriage and seeing all the changes in the jw my thirst for ttatt resurfaced.

Waking up is such a personal thing. I do not want to wake up anyone; let each find their way through life.

Beyond the Kingdom Hall.

the religoios lessons themselfs are not missed, they were actually quite dull, and i realize i learnt nothing of value from them.

instead a quite evening at home playing with my boy is more endearing.. yes my life has moved on, i occassionaly see members of my former congregation in shopping centers, or they are putting the kids in to the back of the car and inside i believe most of them have bottled it, they prefer the comfort to the " truth" who am i to expose the can of worms.. many of course can blame parents or grandparents for having grown up as outcasts in school and i hope if they do leave like me they hold no resentment.

indoctrination is a terrible thing, and even false prophecy, royal commissions, and proof that many of the elders in the congregation are complete and utter shits won't change them.

Hurray Giordano.... sincerely.

Breaking free and victorious is quite a win in life.

We close this prayer in the mighty god and our everlasting father Jesus Christ amen.

by pleaseresearch in

hmmm, how well do you think that would go down?.

you didn't say nothing wrong, isiah states that jesus is such things mentioned.

would brothers and sisters look at you with a smile, or would there be gasps of shock as you closed a prayer like that..

Doubtfully Yours

I'd say the "Amen" just because I've been not really listening to any of the prayers at the kh. I just bow head, sometimes close eyes, and wait for the group "Amen" to lift head back up.

So, I'm sure quite a few would say their "Amen".

May this double-standard in treatment of the rich and shameless 'in name only' JW and a regular Joe/Jane JW serve as a reason for many to distance themselves from this most double-faced liar of an Org.

The music, the videos, the movies, everything affiliated with this individual was discouraged by this Org as being 'of Satan', and now he's being given a most honorable JW send off after dying of what's presumed drug-related causes?

I'm seriously beginning to plan my exit from this Org. Feeling so angry at this time!

what more cuts might be in the pipeline

by pepperheart in

there have been so many cuts in the past few years in the jw world what do you think might be next?

Doubtfully Yours

One meeting weekly only.

No monthly reporting of service time.

No shunning!

Here praying for years now that the Friday gets knocked off from the RA. Also, shorter hours during all the assemblies. I swear I'll throw a party the very day that happens!

If in order to always use the WTBTS buildings the assemblies are reduced to only one 1-day and another 2-day each year, thus knocking out of the equation one of the small assemblies. That would be most awesome!!!

When they figure out that this method will bring them more money for less effort, it will come to pass as all changes throughout out this org's history points to the fact they've all been made in the name of 'more money funneled to momma'.

Given the 'JW celebrity' treatment even in death.

The God 'Money' sure is powerful.
