They lack basic humanity and are tone deaf narcissists that care about nobody else. I don't think I will participate in any way when the inevitable happens. I'm dead to them, they're dead to me. Sorry you had to put up with that bs. That comment about your dad walking that sister down the aisle was petty and just evil on a level. They don't deserve your attendance or participation.

My Dad's Funeral
by Disassociated Lady 2 ini had not seen my dad for 15 years because i had left the borg.
(i had been out 26 years but there was a few years when the jws permitted contact with outsiders and then changed their minds again).
they made contact with me again just before he was diagnosed with cancer.

How Effective Are Anti-JW Internet Sites?
by minimus ini think that once you get on the internet and you see evidence that shows jehovah’s witnesses do not have the real truth, it can jolt you.
but i don’t think simply going on an internet site typically changes a person’s direction—even if the information is very damning toward the witnesses.
i think it takes time to eventually get out.

This site showed me that other people saw the same things that I was seeing in the cult. I was still a believer in the doctrine but I knew something was wrong. Once I saw the stories of others and that I wasn't alone I started breaking down the doctrine, and eventually the Bible itself, using this site (among others that I branched out to).

Rick Fearon - Six Screens of the Watchtower
by dubstepped inso a friend today asked me what his deal is and i honestly don't know.
i saw someone post about his accusations that the doj is investigating watchtower and people seemed down on the guy, as well has johnny the bethelite or whatever his name is that claims to leak stuff.
i don't know rick fearon, don't watch his show, but his site just seems a little crazy, and he seems to get into occult conspiracies and the jws, which never lends credibility.. so for those of you who have been around a while, what's the deal?

I had done a little searching on this site before asking the question. I see the sensationalism and it felt to me like he was pushing some crazy out there. That seems to be the consensus. I wondered if there were specific and noteworthy things that might stand out. Everyone clearly has a feeling about the guy, and maybe I need to watch to fully get it, but I thought maybe there were specific moments that kind of highlighted what everyone sees.
I too remember coming across his site when first leaving the dubs but I couldn't stand the website design and it wreaked of crazy to me then so I went around until I landed here.
Thanks for all of the responses. :)

So a friend today asked me what his deal is and I honestly don't know.

I don't know Rick Fearon, don't watch his show, but his site just seems a little crazy, and he seems to get into occult conspiracies and the JWs, which never lends credibility.
So for those of you who have been around a while, what's the deal? Does he just put out anything that comes his way? Is he more of a conspiracy guy? Has he just put out absolute garbage and untruths? I don't know much about him, the history he has in the ex-JW community, etc.

If you've ever known many elders you know lots of things you shouldn't know. Any claims to privacy are as good as the mouth on the elder telling you that. Many have big mouths and tell their wives, who often run the gossip lines, or they will tell other brothers they trust who will also gossip. There is no real privacy even if it wasn't shared between elders, between congregations in records exchanges during moves, with the branch, etc.

Reading the bible without apologetics built into our brains by religion and just reading the words it says is a great way to start to question. The god of the bible is awful.

My wife and I listened on our 16 hour drive yesterday and we both enjoyed the interview. We were both struck by your sincerity Ben, and love the points you made about confirmation bias in research for the writing. It's obvious that's what they often do.
We were both wondering about your wife and were glad you spoke about her at the end. I'm glad that you two still support one another despite differences.

Should kids learn cursive handwriting?
by GrreatTeacher ini am an elementary school teacher of the fourth grade.
in times past, students would start learning cursive handwriting in third grade and by fourth should be transitioning to writing in cursive at all times.
as you might be aware, this has all but been taken out of the curriculum.

If they would teach things like emotional intelligence or critical thinking instead I'd be happier. I think there are more life skills needed than fancy writing. Chalk me up as one that thinks cursive is a waste of time.

Russia=King of the North, USA=King of the South? New info coming in from Annual Meeting 2018
by Jules Saturn init was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.
for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.
very interesting times!

@Jules Saturn - What do you think about it? You say that it's "very interesting times". Is it interesting to you because you believe them on some level, or are you finding it interesting because they're calling their shot (again)? I just wonder, because they do this stuff to trigger fear and anxiety even in people that act like they are out that "oh know, maybe they're right".
They pretty much thought the same before. They just bring out stuff like this to whip people up. They are good at it, and people fall for it time and time again.
