it’s quite affirming to see the horrific material that they’re serving up at the convention this year.
aside from blatant homophobia, the scenes at the end of the convention that are discussed on another thread stoop to new levels of fear mongering.
it seems to occur to nobody inside the organisation that this kind of material could trigger fear, deprsssion, anxiety, stress.
My wife's father is NOT going to be okay with this. The man skipped all the parts in the Bible that were too violent, including Jesus' death. He would fast forward through drama tapes that they'd listen too. Of course, it's not like he's going to leave, but it will get to him.
Dubs are raising their emotional propaganda game. They'll drive a few away, and drive most deeper in.

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.

Yep, that's Jehovah's loving people right there. No compassion for any of them.
hey 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.
a&e has a new show this season called cults and extreme belief.
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.

hi guys!
we are so happy to share with you the interesting story of former jehovah's witnesses member jason droboth.
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.
of 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?
This moment makes me... me. Without it I'm not me.
witness: yes.
attorney: and what were you doing at that time?
witness: yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and
I needed a laugh today. Thanks!
so last night at around 11 while me and the wife were watching netflix and my cellphone rings.
i didn't make it in time and saw it was my mother who never speaks to me.
i decided to call back fearing something happened with my dad.
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.
