  not going to school

  by Sabin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't know if it is the same where you are but where i live it is a common practise of jdub`s to withdraw their kid`s from school at about year 8 even younger in some cases.

  they say they are being home schooled & of cause they do cover a certain amount of school topics.

  don't get me wrong i`m not saying that it is wrong to home school a youngster, especially if they are being bullied or suffering in some way, but the jdub`s don't do it for this purpose, oh no their kid`s are out on the field service during what would be school hours.

  Home schooling is quite common among JWs. Based upon my observation the few successes were far overshadowed by the embarrassing failures.

  I sent my kids to school and never apologized for it.

  i used to be jon preston.

  now that i've escaped the watchtower i have much to report on.

  in just a year i left the cult, started living, reset my kids' brains, had my spouse cheat, move to a new location, and started a new job.

  Getting out simply gets you to the starting point for the rest of your life. There is no question that life is hard. There are no easy answers. One of the attractions that the Watchtower has to offer is that God will fix everything.

  As you figured out, that is an illusion. While moving forward with ife is hard, with an extreme amount of hard work, it can be very rewarding.

  Living a successful life is the best revenge. Good luck!

  Solomon's Temple construction, things you realize when no longer asleep.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok so in 1kings chapters 5-6 is where we have the story of the construction of solomon's most holy temple to god, the supreme god.

  it says that to build this magnificent temple they used 30,000 men, 10,000 per month.

  another 70,000 common laborers in the hills digging up stone and 80,000 stone cutting laborers.

  So basically Solomon consumed the resources of the nation so he could live like a king. He had no concept the burden he placed on the r&f of the nation. The more I think about Solomon the more I am convinced that his level of wisdom was the exact opposite of what was purported.

  When did they stop giving armrests? I am glad I got out of that religion before the new light about armrests came out.

  1] apple watch watchers - this group takes a great interest in watches worn by members of the governing body.

  2] cult escape consultants - one who freely offers advise on how to flee from a cult - mainly the wt society.

  SNICKERING DOG CLASS--This class is currently limited to one person who makes irreverent, hilarious posts.

  Perhaps we should set up a special folder for this class. I hope I have not missed these threads. Being a part of the look-y-loo class, these are the kinds of posts we crave.

  OrphanCrow , you describe that you have a: "morbid fascination with insanity"

  Welcome to the club. There is nothing more insane than the watchtower religion. I come to this site regularly and have for 14 years; in that time I have seen my share of insanity.

  check his signature... it looks kind of childish/feminine (at least in my part of the world)... is this a grown man's signature for you?.

  And to think that Jackson said under oath in front of the RC that he was unaware of the shunning policy.
