The cruelty of this cult is beyond belief. I have already decided I will not attend the funerals of any of my JW relatives, first of all I don't really want to attended an infomercial for this despicable cult and secondly I don't deserve to be shunned by a bunch of brainwashed zombies. -

Why would anyone want to join jovie world?
by Doltologist ini can understand why someone who was born of jovie parents would want to leave jovie world.
i can see why someone who had joined jovie world would want to leave.
after all, why would you want to stay in such an evil institution?.

It amazes me how people are so easily offended by terms like Jovie world and religitard. The truth is we should all be offended by damage done by religious ideology and especially that inflicted by high control groups like JW's. -

by Simon ini just had an invite to a district convention later this month in calgary (i guess they get to clean up the saddledome before the stampede, lol).. they gave me a leaflet asking "why did jesus come to earth?
" so i asked them "so why did he come?".

My only regret about being DF'd for apostasy is they will never call on us. -

Well another one leaves the Borg.
by John Aquila ini took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.
a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.
one of them, a very attractive girl.

I love the way he turned the tables by the fact he wanted to shun you when he thought you were still a cult member. -

Same reason why anyone would join a cult or even vote UKIP............
Simple answers to complex questions
Psychological hot buttons being pressed
Feeling of knowing something others don't / superiority over others
Sense of belonging

Our hall is asking for money...
by thedepressedsoul ini guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

The Reason Why Jehovah's Witnesses Will Never Prosper Is The Children
by minimus ini believe that the religion will remain stagnant due to their achilles heel, the kids, the children, that next generation.. most of them really don't wa t to be in the religion.
the parents may have tried everything within their power to make the kids love jehovah but we all know you can't force someone to love you and you can't make a grown person stay in a relationship or situation if they really don't want to be there..

Many children of JW's may go through a phase of not wanting it, but they still stay, even if they don't entirely believe it, because it becomes their way of life, their social life, their normal paradigm.

Comfy, cozy life and adulation. I don't think they get a great deal of money per se. I still think the real power is with the heads at the legal department. -

So I overheard a discussion that my son and wife were having about creation yesterday
by My Name is of No Consequence inso i am getting ready for bed yesterday night and i overhear my teenage son and wife talking about how the evidence of creation far outweighs the evidence of evolution.
i heard my son say that evolution has so many holes and how could something happen from nothing.
i wanted to open the door and ask them both how the creator happened from nothing just to see what they would say..

MNIONC Educate yourself on evolution. The evidence is overwhelming, whereas there is no evidence of a supernatural force. Once you understand the theory why you will be able see the logical fallacies behind the Watchtower and other fundamentalist arguments.
