  The recent Royal Commission hearings have stirred up my emotions ....

  by troubled mind in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i hope the royal commission will be able to force the jw organization to take a serious look at itself ,and will cause some much needed changes.. i have been following the trial faithfully ,and unfortunately it has dredged up some deep pains from years ago .

  you think some of that old baggage is neatly packed away never meant to see the light of day again .....but then boom there it is again .. hearing what bcg had to go through, and how she felt trying to get help from the elders was heart-wrenching.

  i remember the terrible way young women were treated in the 1970's .

  (((( troubled mind )))) The misogyny in the Bible and in religions makes them unpalatable to me and I suspect a lot of women. Religion has a veneer of moral righteousness that when pulled back exposes self-righteousness and abuse. Patriarchy doesn't work and is harmful. I am hoping the Borg gets its a$$ handed to them.

  TheWonderofYou said: ...my former elders educated me insofar....that a hymen , virgen membrane is a blessing of J*H G$D and a sign that girls have to wait til marriage of course, even the creation of de hymennn thus gives widness fo de druth.

  Some women are born without a hymen. So much for elders knowing what they are talking about.

  Hang on a second... isn't this a pagan ritual?!

  In depth research reveals....

  by Deltawave in

  2. beliefs

  something i have noticed over the years is how much harder it is to research the history of the watchtower society from its own literature.

  people have thrown away old publications in place of the watchtower library.

  i beleive soon the watchtower library disk will be discontinued in place of the online library.

  R. Gerome Harris said: Where there is concealment, there is deceit.

  Well stated.
  

  I have a lot of books from my parent's library that I'd like to sell. The hardbound Awake! and Watchtower volumes start at 1960 and go forward, I think, to around 2009 (?). I believe year 2002 is missing... my Dad either lent it out and it didn't come back or he didn't order it because that's the year my Mom died.

  so i got coerced into watching this crap last night.

  a few observations:.

  1) it personified the witness mantra that doing more for the org = happiness, doing not enough = misery.

  fukitol said: It's not possible to reason with brainwashed religious fanatics who hold primitive mythology to be immutable truth.

  The onus is on the civilised and enlightened world and it's legal system to intervene to stop the evil fruitage religious fanatics produce.

  Well stated fukitol.
  

  When Christopher Hitchens was asked in a debate where does evil come from, he didn't hesitate but stated firmly and clearly:

  "From religion."

  I do miss The Hitch.

  "And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.

  i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.

  so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

  Wow, that was awesome! Terry, please don't feel badly. Sometimes it takes something like this to wake a person up.

  These 2 received some new light today courtesy of their organization but handed to them by you. I think they grew up a little today. Well done.

  If you're serious, I highly suggest you enlist the services of Processor. The man is genius when it comes to writing great articles that are hilarious using Botchtower's style.

  Beth Sarim said: might say after sitting through this 3-day assembly, I will say that this was probably the most thought-controlling, thought-inducing, manipulative assemblies of all time. Seems like they are really tightening the leg irons.

  And I bet the JWs there thought it was the best one yet! ;0)
