  "You have to find out her fears and exploit that. What is her worst fear?"

  literally, a text message to my husband from one of his "friends".

  he also wrote, "it's in her hands.

  it's her move now.

  In my thoughts Cognac, hope you are doing ok.

  I don't understand why many of you think this was outrageous behavior for the jw friends, I thought this was par for the course and quite regular behavior on the part of jw's. It is my opinion anyway, from all the stories on the boards and my own experience with jw's when my jw first joined up and I was opposed. In fact it is exactly this kind of story that I relate when speaking about jw's to non jw's who know nothing about the org. To me this IS the cult mentality. This 'religion' regularly breaks up families and causes lifelong hurt and damage to relationships. They do not allow natural affections if it gets in the way of their agenda.

  It can be fought and won but is a hellish ride in the meantime. The jw may still stay in but a truce of sorts can be found and life can continue and even be good, not the same but good nontheless. Relationships are never the same once jw's become involved.

  get your ducks in a row sooner rather than later legally! see my earlier post on free consultation with a lawyer and there are a few others out there if you Google it, some can direct you to an attorney who is familiar with the jw situation.

  I know somebody who went through an ugly divorce and the spouse could not move more than 50 miles away from the original home, then it was 150 miles, the spouse moved just to make life difficult even though the ones really suffering was the kids.

  There have been threads in the past where a judge ruled that the kids could not be raised in jw but it was a long hard battle but worth it in my opinion. Good luck.

  Blood, the US Army, the US Navy and the Watchtower Society

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  the watchtower society blood doctrine is intricately linked to clinical trials in blood technology.

  the wts deliberately changes and manipulates the blood doctrine in order to fill the requirements for medical testing in the field of blood technology.

  it has been happening since the start of the blood ban and has continued for the last 70 years, leaving untold numbers of dead and maimed jws in the wake of the societys quest for everlasting life here on earth.. .

  How would a current jw spin this? --"jw's do not serve in the US Military but we ALL do alternative service....."? or would they be horrified?

  "It's the intent that counts and not the result."

  "it's the intent that counts not the result.".

  i have been out of the jw organization for some 22 years now and i sometimes get a reminding jolt out the hoops that some will jump through to make their religion make sense to them.

  the first line in this post is what a jw on the street here in salinas told me on saturday when trying to justify the society's history of false prophecies.

  Are we approaching the Waco/Jonestown/Heaven's Gate finale?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  large groups are being gathered to video screens to blatantly worship the governing body.

  this self-proclaimed faithful slave show no signs of softening their treatment of the flock.

  their backs are against the wall and the legal world is turning against them in a big way.

  Don't bother reading this

  2. friends

  i'm just bored.

  i'm currently (right now) running a mic up and down the aisles, recognising the faulty logic, one line platitudes, and indoctrination techniques.

  i like posting while on active duty.

  I like when people post from a meeting! gives me hope for some reason and it makes me laugh because I'm probably not a nice person for finding some pleasure in a secret apostate posting to an apostate board from a kh.
