Life is a filmstrip, not a snapshot. Don't get too wrapped up in any one moment.
I always liked that perspective.

Classic Talk Regarding KH Consolidation
by lepermessiah inlast night i was listening in as my spouse was on the phone line.
there was a big "local needs" talk announced and it was speculated to be about the congregation reshuffling.. that ended up to be the case.
i thought i used to lay it on thick from the platform....... this was the ultimate spin job - worthy of political office or a spot on the governing body.. one thing that stood out "while the numbers may not necessarily indicate it, it is clear jehovah is speeding up the work".

Tomorrow is Friday, so the weekend is coming. Things are warming up outside. Flowers are already blooming, the grass is literally getting greener. It is lighter later in the day. Life is growing and ready to burst forth around us.

Well, I was only referring to the statement in the video, but yes they do directly encourage it in other places. My reaction was to the video only, not every possible thing they've ever written or said.

Bottom feeding disgusting scavengers, whoever is doing this. Shame on the soul sucking Borganization for not condemning the practice. They just gave it tacit approval.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.
Are they asking for help? Are they working toward better things? I will help someone that asks, but of course I'll teach them how to fish rather than giving them one. Otherwise, they get to live their lives as poorly as they want. Not your problem my friend, nor your wife's.

Watchtower pushes many to suicide. I was close once. I knew of at least three others, probably more if I think about it. They just take and take and the only ways out involve losing everything you've ever known because they isolated you. It's much like any abusive relationship, only multiplied in size and influence.
Let's review.... It's a CULT!!!

Have you read this book?
by Iamallcool inhave you read this book?

it might help ex jws more than never a jw.

I heard either a summary of it or someone talking about it on a podcast and it sounded interesting. A friend who was never a JW read and liked it. I have no clue why you think someone that was never a JW wouldn't be helped by it though. There are more issues in life than just ours.
If you want it, buy it. It's $15. If you get just one nugget that impacts your life positively then it's a heck of a lot cheaper than a therapist.

Good-bye Jehovah (poem)
by SunnyOne026 init has been several months now, since i learned ttat and the shock and grief is slowly lifting, although some days are harder than others.
after 40 years a devout believer i guess i should not be surprised that the transition has been challenging and the losses immense, and i am sure very many of you can relate to my struggles.
i frequently read the posts on here and my heart goes out to all of you, who grieve and struggle each in your own way, and i wish all of you continued courage and peace.

That was fantastic! I'm going to share it with my wife. She'll love it too. Very well done. You really captured the feelings of the journey well.
