  Thinking about disassociating yourself - STOP!...at least for a moment

  by rory-ks in

  (this recent forum post about a letter of disassociation encouraged me to post this new topic.

  it's been sitting in my drafts folder for a little while, but now is as good a time as any.).

  my suggestion would be, try not to go down the route of disassociation.

  Best of Topics

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. best-of

  some people had a penchant for posting their topics directly into the "best of topics" area.

  it seemed more than a little arrogant to me that some imagined their every utterance was immediately a greatest hit but maybe people weren't clear on what that area was intended for .... from now on you won't be able to start new topics there.

  if anyone wants to submit a topic to be added there (perhaps an index to a curated list of other topics by a user or on a certain subject / theme) then just start one in "suggestions" and pm me and, if it is suitable, then i'll move it into there.. existing topics posted there recently have been moved to more appropriate areas..

  New Store called Best Life Gifts

  by Franklin30 in

  i noticed a recent post where it was suggested the store was taken over by hostile means!.

  the person who posted it pretended to have knowledge of why the store changed names but clearly was operating with an agenda!

  one filled with lies, misinformation and deceit!.

  A group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations

  by Disillusioned JW in

  2. current

  a group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations.

  that is a major goal accomplished by the biden administration.

  seehttps://www.wsj.com/articles/countries-agree-to-global-deal-to-curb-tax-avoidance-11633709979 .. if corresponding legislation gets passed into law in the usa it will be much harder for corporations doing business in the usa to move their operations out of the usa to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

  Lloyd’s new book

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

  this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.

  i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.

  Have You Been “Gaslit”?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  gaslighting is a form of sustained manipulation that causes the victim to question or doubt their sanity, judgment and memories.

  it’s a form of emotional abuse.

  i think jehovah’s witnesses have been gaslit.
