What do they get out of this?
by MisfitMeL in
1. jw
2. friends
maybe this has been discussed before but i'm starting to wonder why it is so important for wts to keep such a tight control over its members?.

is it because the gb and other folk in upper management are so delusional and psychotic, that they believe in the rubbish they spout?.

or is someone somewhere getting something (financially) out of this?.

Nessrriinn's Story
by jwfacts in
1. jw
2. experiences
this is a beautiful account by nessrriin of her growing up and leaving the muslim faith.

the parrallels with leaving the watchtower faith is quite remarkable, even the similarity of terminology such as; the truth, conventions, guilt, study more, apostate, "there is no questioning allah".. there have been several accounts lately of people torn by the question "what if the watchtower is correct"?

hopefully this video will help show that your religious belief is due to your religious upbringing, not that it really could be "the truth.".

JW christmas is just round the corner... ugh!
by MisfitMeL in

yeah so the memorial is getting closer.. and even though my mum knows i am not attending the meetings, she keeps staying i should at least attend the memorial.... coz it's like special.. no idea how to get myself out of it.

everytime she brings up the topic over the phone, i just mumble and say stuff like, yeah but i finish work late... i dunno where the kh is out here etc etc.

i don't know why jws treat the memorial like it's christmas.

I can't help but feel bad about it all.

ok so i travelled home last weekend to break the news to my mum about my engagement to a 'wordly' man.. to be honest, i chickened out and instead of confronting her face to face, i decided to write a long letter to her about it.. we have never really got on and she has a knack for getting on my nerves.

she was very emotionally abusive throughout my childhood (and can still be).

i guess she had her reasons although it doesn't excuse the behaviour.. anyway i tried to be as diplomatic as possible.
