Pioneer school in 1000 words
by oppostate inthis strange photo is from a pioneer school graduating class in russia.. they're hiding their faces because, supposedly they don't want to be identified as jw's and run the risk of persecution.. the picture is very telling.
this very well illustrates how the pioneer school aims to make everyone into faceless drones whose minds are copies of wt indoctrinated automatons and not really individuals.. another thing i noticed when looking at the photo is that some aren't following the instructions to obscure their faces--some peek their eyes above the illuminators textbook and one is quite clearly exposing his profile as if he was talking to his neighbor in mid-shutter instant.. third, it's in russia, and the jw's aren't too welcome there.
communist oligarchs were quite acquainted with indoctrination and brain-washing techniques, they didn't like competition.

As an ex near witness I have a voracious capacity for reading
by Star tiger insince nearly being consumed by witness mentality as an almost baptised member but thankfully due to my fantastic wifes scepticism toward it, i have now embarked on a voracious capacity for reading all the books that were once excluded from my list to get a total rounded out experience of life from the communist manifesto to atlas shrugged, wealth of nations, the age of reason, robert anton wilson, the koran and dare i say it mein kamf, the vedas, but i am still a bit frightened of the golden bough due to the residue of the jw's.
all knowledge must be good, i've read the bible and but it seem a bit meh!, all books have some interesting points, except the nazi one but it's good to read anything you can!.
anybody else obssesed with reading!!.

Anti witnessing
by thecrushed ini've been doing a lot of anti witnessing at work and i wondered if anyone has gone door to door and pretended they witnessed to the house holder but secretly inserted a message in the watchtower that said something like i'm trapped in a cult and have been forced to go door to door so that i can remain in good standing and keep from being shunned by my family.
help i'm in a cult never listen to me or anyone else that comes to your door in a suit!

by learnaway inthe modern jewish calendar determines the beginning of their month of nisan by the astronomical new moon.
however, usually it is eighteen hours or more later when the first sliver of the crescent of the new moon becomes visible in jerusalem.
each year, in recent times, the governing body of jehovahs witnesses has determined the actual new moon that becomes visible in jerusalem, which is the way the first of nisan was determined in biblical times.

Troy Barnes should be Disfellowshipped
by I Want to Believe inanyone else watch community?
i love the show, and it just happens to have the only openly jw lead character in the history of tv.
but whenever they'd bring up that troy was a jw i'd cringe a little, back then because how easily he would go against those beliefs and now because of how innocent they make it out to be.
