  hey everyone, i don't think the maker of the video is on the board so i figured i'd post this video here.

  this one absolutely floored me, it was put together so concisely; it's just incredibly difficult to deny the theocratic warfare method when viewing this video... without further ado, the video:.

  I can't imagine doing THAT in my wildest dreams.....

  putting on a three piece suit to spend a 90 degree summer day knocking on doors and trespassing!dragging an entire family, including babies and young children to three or four day meetings in an outdoor stadium, living in a seedy motel room for the week.getting home from work and spending the next six hours cramming for a 'theocratic review', getting the entire family ready to go, gulping down dinner, and speeding off to the hall, and then finally getting home around 11 pm, hurrying off to bed so that everyone could get up for work and school in the morning!going to school to explain to the teachers why little johnny can't color pictures of santa, salute the flag of his country, eat birthday cake with all the other 5 year olds, bow his head when prayer is offered, or exchange valentines with all the cute 5 year old girls in class.

  and then explaining with grace why he is not immersed in a cult!well, on and on!

  these things were typical of my witness life - now i cannot imagine ever doing such silly things, and especially thinking that somehow they would bring pleasure to my god!.

  Name Things JWs Believe That Are Not Actually Biblically Provable

  by minimus in

  here's one example: being a congregation publisher.

  nowhere in the bible does it say you should be a "publisher" and turn in your time if you preach.

  they try to twist the scriptures by saying that numbers are constantly being recorded in the bible so then conforming to the rules of being a publisher is from the scriptures.. yeah, right..

  Name of this site

  by Newborn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  shouldn't this site really be called "ex jw" instead or something like that??

  (in my country the eqivalent site is called "the support source").. isn't the name a bit misleading since most of us aren't jws anymore and doesn't want anything to do with them?.

  just my thought.

  A Secret about DF'ing that Elders will NEVER tell you.

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i discussed this with some ex-jws in the past, they have pointed out to me that the following is not done in actual pracrice.

  of course it is not done in practrice ... that is why i referred to it as a "secret" because elders do not normally disclose such information, either because they fear its effect, or because they have not thoroughly paid attention to the "pay attention" book.

  in this post, i am not arguing about actual practice ... rather what the undisclosed, withheld, secretive information is ... and how being armed may allow """some""" jws to relax their conscience.. a secret that elders will not openly tell you.
