  HeyThere

  Ok, seriously....wtf? So many strange and completely unscriptural rules in this cult.

  Next meeting, drag in one of the large rolling suitcases with nothing but your tablet in it. Sit right by him and make an exaggerated effort of unzipping and locating your tablet.

  http://www.webpronews.com/jehovahs-witnesses-get-only-partial-dismissal-in-child-molesting-case-2015-04.

  i find it extremely interesting the comment of one of the posters who is studying with the witnesses.. frank j karasienski 3 days ago .

  individuals are flawed..... looking at this article it really makes it look like an organization is hiding the situation.

  HeyThere

  The witness comments to that article are so disturbing. Outrageous. They do show their true colors when they get wound up. Someone should forward those comments to the attorneys handling these cases to show the courts just how witnesses think of them.

  HeyThere

  I accidentally hit dislike trying to like this post...like like like!!! It is disturbing. This new way to continue the mind boggling indoctrination is frustrating me, because my husband is sipping on the kool-aid and though we are now at a place where he is being respectful of my decision to not be a witness, he spends considerable time daily studying and making our child study. I don't know how to wake him up. I am hoping he picks up on the crazy but he hasn't yet.

  Why a JC if the adulterous mate is forgiven?

  by snugglebunny in

  2. beliefs

  supposing a man's wife has had an affair, confessed all and genuinely regrets what's happened.

  the husband, after much soul searching and agonising, realises how much he still loves her and how much both of them want to rebuild their shattered relationship.. why should that woman then have to sit in front of a judicial men-only committee and give a blow-by-blow account of her affair?.

  how would that make her husband feel, knowing that his wife is sharing intensely private stuff about her affair with several other guys?.

  HeyThere

  One of my relatives had a judicial committee formed when she went to the elders for help after the death of a friend. She went because she was repentant. She had stayed drinking allot and messed around with a guy. Not only did they disfellowship her during a very trying emotional time, but they also asked her some of the most personal questions. They were specifically asking her where she licked, sucked, etc. And required quite graphic answers, including how much she liked it, etc. She is born in, and still was very upset about it all...upset enough to tell me about it even though she knows my stance. Even her die hard jw mom was appalled. But she still is as jw as ever...and has even said that the reason I stopped going to meetings is because the devil is at work.

  The control this religion has on believing members is so strong, it doesn't surprise me at all that they would insist on graphic confessions and that members give those duals even if they don't feel is right "from a human standpoint"

  by Bucholz in

  hello everybody, i was wondering if anyone has been guilted or emotionally blackmailed into attending the memorial this year.

  something along the lines of "if you loved your family you would at least attend the memorial".

  i myself haven't attended in 5 years.
