Saw some repugnant fawning over Daniel Sydlik at a convention here.
These days I find it incredible that anyone would fawn over the governing body members. Guys like Lett & Morris are clearly mentally ill, imbalanced weirdos.

Worship of Men?
by HereIgo ini remember when i was in as a teenager, some time around 2006, samuel herd of the governing body came to dedicate our newly built hall.
i remember bumping into him accidentally and a brother pulled me aside and half jokingly and half seriously telling me that i should be more careful around jehovah's anointed ones.
it was quite comical to say the least.

Also, don't underestimate how thiscrrligion eill grnuinely fuck up your three kids. Especially as you are not a believer.
I wrote a theee part thread about this exact subject years ago - how one of my kids was taught to view her unbelieving father.
Thid is part three. The other two are linked at the top of the thread.

A wee wake up call for you from someone who's been through it - your opinion don't mean shit as your not part of the religion. You are now the enemy and anything you say will simply be ignored or your character will be assassinated so as to devalue any legitimate points you make.
Itll be this way until your wife wakes up from her indoctrination. Your marriage will be under pressure due to her unswerving loudly to the organisation. I don't envy you.

JW Grandparent Drama
by What Now? inmy mom and sisters have not had any contact with my family for the past year and a half.. we even recently announced a new pregnancy and none of them acknowledged it or called to say congratulations or anything.. this past week my non-witness grandfather passed away and i had thought that for the sake of his death and funeral, it being "necessary family business" that they would at least be civil in front of our other family.
all of them still ignored me, my sisters didn't even speak to my children at all - to be honest i don't think my kids even knew who they were.
for the sake of my grandmother i made a small attempt at the end of the day to say goodbye to my mother and she kind of just brushed past me and said goodbye without really looking at me.. anyways my grandmother told me later that my mom spoke to her and said "i love my daughter and i love my grandchildren and i'm so upset that she won't allow me to see them".

I've said it before on here and I really wish people would do it. It's time people reverse shunned these absolutely vile, toxic people.
Theres no way I would allow my children into a situation where my mother doesn't speak to me yet has contact with the kids. No way. What would this teach your children about relationships? What lesson would it teach your mother about how she treats you?
Reverse shunning drives Witnesses crazy. They hate it. It disempowers their ridiculous power/guilt trip.
Give them nothing. They're frankly not worthy of you.
"No natural affection" - fulfilled by Jehovah's Witnesses.

Brought my non-JW wife to Kingdom Hall for a wedding
by keyser soze inmy brother got remarried to his ex-wife over the weekend.
they had been married for 15 years, but divorced in 2011. they decided to give it another try, because they have 3 kids together, and the dating pool is very thin for jws in their 30's and 40's.
we didn't want to attend, but since i was invited, and they were kind enough to attend our wedding, we decided to suck it up.. the most interesting part was the way my wife responded to the whole ordeal.

I know some pretty independent women that are witnesses and the way they're subjugated has me scratching my head.

Humourous reactions to beards worn at the kingdom Hall
by UnshackleTheChains inis this the reaction you get when you walk into a kingdom hall sporting your new beard 🙄.

In my local area I note that a lot of the witnesses now have beards. I don't know if I'm imagining it but it seems that way. I am unaware whether or not these individuals qualify for provelidges but I know one beardy-bob who does literature.
The world is full of so many important and pressing matters. Facial hair on a man really isn't up there. Which makes the whole JW religion such a petty, prejudiced, intolerant non entity full of self important, authority crazed, assholes.

One of the most defining thing that made me question JW church after 27 years was seeing the funeral discourse outline.
by Chook init gave the poor bastard who past away no respect, hardly mentioned anything about the deceased.
yet hijacked the event with cult propaganda..

Hopefully more content from psycho Tony III. They're doing a great job at pushing witnesses away from this madness.

silly observations from that '1975' video...
by undercover inokay, so everyone is bent out of shape about how the wts is re-writing their history on their past failed predictions (1975).
other threads deal in all the evidence to tear apart their shameless propaganda, so i won't dwell on that here.. but, what i will do is list a couple of observations, silly as they are, that aren't about the propaganda so much as it is about the set design, and costume design.
feel free to add to the list.. early scene where the wife is dying.

Im "Going To Die In Armageddon"
by pale.emperor in3 missed calls from my jw brother last night.
i didnt answer because he's actively shunning me and when he does ring it always to preach to me about how we're so close to the end and how i should "humble myself before the mighty hand of god" .
he then texts me saying "we need to talk".

Reverse shun these arseholes. Send a message saying that you can't morally associate with them and would appreciate if they could respect your beliefs.
They hate it and find it completely disempowering.
No way would I allow my relatives to speak to me in such bigoted, downgraded, patronising terms.
