  since leaving the organization i have survived (and thrived) by: .

  Sad. I guess the kids don't qualify to sit at the cart, so they have to wait in the car.

  The GB, including Splane, do lots of things above their paygrade. In the real world, they'd find it hard to function.

  Bunker Video Sparks Family Drama!

  i guess you are guaranteed to survive the "great tribulation" if you don't be a "kevin".

  my family members are doubling down on their fervor about meeting attendance.

  they are having an effect on some of my wishy washy long time inactive family.

  good afternoon,.

  i am writing to give you a quick update about our ongoing statutory inquiries into safeguarding and charities linked to jehovah’s witnesses.. as you may know, one of our inquiries is into watch tower bible and tract society of britain.

  we opened this inquiry in 2014. watch tower then initiated what turned out to be protracted litigation against us.

  How Many People are Living a Lie?

  by awokenjw in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the things i often wonder about at the meetings is how many of these people are actually living a lie or sinning in secret?

  and more importantly, how do these ones stomach it?

  in my case, i have secretly dated and done things disapproved by the wt with a pioneer sister in my congregation for years and we both go to the same meeting twice a week and pretend everything is perfect and nothing has happened.

  Before I woke up, if I "sinned", I reported myself to the elders, even private bedroom matters between me and my then wife. I was taught if I did otherwise, I would be destroyed at the Big A and God would remove his blessing from the congregation. I also didn't want to be a hypocrite.

  Of course, now that I woke up, I realize what a big mistake all that was! Never again!

  I don't know how a person can be an indoctrinated JW, especially a pioneer, and violate Watchtower rules. The guilt must eat such a person alive.

  some internal sources in jw.org has brought me attention to the following data:.

  - in which european country, not member of the eu, and well known for their banking industry, jw.org and some affiliated structures do maintain some business incorporated structures and companies?.

  - which is the purpose of these business and company structures?.

  Musicians Who Died in the Last Year - or Through the Years- Who Do you Miss Most ?

  by flipper in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i think for me in the last year the death of david bowie got to me the most.

  not only in the way he handled his demise so classy by even making a song about it and a you tube about dying and sharing it with fans, but just his whole persona i always thought was pretty cool.

  plus i enjoyed a good many of his songs.

  Need Suggestions/examples: Guide to helping family & friends break free

  by LisaRose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was going through my copy of steve hassan's combating cult mind control and it occurred to me that it would be great to have something like this specifically for us ex jehovah's witnesses.

  while this is a great book, the examples he uses are mostly from people that were moonies, as steve is a former moonie and many people that have contacted him for help were relatives of moonies.

  while cults all work basically the same, it would be nice to be have some ideas on things that are specific to jehovah's witnesses.

  Most of his suggestions are oriented to non-cult family talking to a first generation recruit.

  The job of those of us who are second, third, fourth generation cult members waking up and trying to help our family and friends is very exponentially difficult.
