I can speak to it because on a level I was it. My wife would ask something of me for years that I could never understand, and that was a word called empathy, of which I had none. I didn't get it at all. I had to learn it, or maybe re-learn it. I still struggle at times and in areas but I get it now.

@stuckinarut - Yes, I think many JWs are that heartless. They reflect the heartless god they serve, a god that will kill billions soon in the great day of his anger. JWs look forward to the time when he gets to do this so they can pet pandas. They don't truly care about other people. They are dead and detached from the people around them, people that are merely problems standing in the way of their happiness. You get what you deserve in their eyes. It's all about rules, crime and punishment, and their base humanity has been shut down over time. It's how they survive in the cult.
Clearly not all are that dead inside, but I truly believe that many are, or at least that's what they show outwardly to protect the cult and their cognitive dissonance. Deep down they may still have authentic feelings, but they're buried under mountains of indoctrination. -

“(The sister) showed a very solemn and somber demeanor when she spoke and stated that she is not sad for Lauren and her family and that when she heard the news of her sister’s actions, she was not surprised in the slightest.”
Yep, that's Jehovah's loving people right there. No compassion for any of them.

Consequences for having a non religious wedding ceraminy?
by Addison0998 inhey i was wondering if maybe someone who is an ex elder or who knows a lot about these things could help me.
my dad is an elder but i need to be cautious with questions i ask.
now that i’ve been woken up from my brainwashed love of this corrupt corporation and from my belief in the bible, and my fiancé is starting to wake up as well, i really don’t want to have the sexist, overused, impersonal talk outline used for my wedding ceremony by some elder who is trying to show off his talk giving skills.

My younger brother and his wife got married at a little place by some sort of non-religious person. Elders were present, my dad and her dad. People would get married by the justice of the peace. You absolutely do not have to have a JW wedding. Just don't do it at a Kingdom Hall. Find a beautiful place that you both enjoy. Have it just you two and family, or whatever you want.

the second episode will air on 5/29 at 9:00 pm and jehovah's witnesses will be featured.
hopefully they do a good job exposing them for what they really are.

JWs would have a cop out no matter what. Who cares what they think. They have had over a century to control the narrative. It's our time now. This sounds awesome.

As the guy that does the "This JW Life" and "shunned" podcast, which is just audio, I can only imagine how much work goes into a full production like this. This was GREAT! And I'm not going to say it was great for your first episode, no, it was just great, period.
I loved when he pointed out that basically the devastation of his parents was an imaginary or invented problem. It so is. It's nothing more than people creating problems where there aren't any based on made up belief systems.
Keep up the good work. I heard you two on the JW Community podcast with Louise, so best wishes on living that boat life as well. You only live once. As a house cleaner myself (with my wife), there will always be dirty houses to clean, but you won't always have opportunities and youth.

What makes you---YOU?
by eyeuse2badub inof course this is an open ended question but have you ever really thought about what makes you who you are?.
is it our looks, our personality, our physique, our intelligence, our experiences and subsequent memories, our beliefs?
is it a combination of all these things and even more?

So what she's mad about isn't that you broke a promise made at baptism to God himself, but rather some dude. Shows who she's really worshipping, I guess.
Sorry man. That's so abusive, just all of it. Total shunning can be nice.

Suicide in the spiritual paradise all too common
by doubtfull1799 injust heard that a young brother committed suicide this week - the whole congregation is naturally very distressed.
what a tragedy.
according to my source he'd only been married about a year and his wife found him - he’d hung himself.

Whew Phoebe, that was a rough read. Callous bastards! Ugh, it's like trying to talk to my dad, who of course was an elder. Just humans that are dead inside while worshiping their own ego.
I'm glad you got honest and got help too. :)
