The “Spiritual endangerment” endangerment card is sometimes played when one mate wakes up to TTATT, often at the suggestion of the elders. This goes beyond what is in writing, but for an indoctrinated JW, nothing screamed danger louder than someone labeled an “apostate”.

Why referring to Watchtower as 'the Borg' is so apt!
by UnshackleTheChains init's interesting that when watchtower is referred to as the borg, it immediately brings to mind the scenes where individuals such as captain piccard are held prisoner within a vast collective hive type prison and unable to leave.
they are then turned into drones.
in fact here is how wikipedia explains it.. the borg are a fictional alien group that appear as recurring antagonists in the star trek franchise.

Sometimes I have to wonder if any of the writers of Star Trek were ex-JW.
Last night, I was watching the Voyager episode Infinite Regress. I forgot exactly what, but something Seven of Nine said about becoming an individual seemed to resonate.

Why should WE be the bloodguilty ones??
by stuckinarut2 init struck me just how odd and weird it is that jws are told that if they do not preach, they are "bloodguilty" for failing to warn people of the upcoming destruction at armageddon.. hang on a minute now, hang on!.
why should a mere human be made to feel "bloodguilty" and "responsible" for "failing to warn someone" of gods wrath??.
these average people are not the ones who are about to unleash a genocidal massacre on 99% of humanity (including babies born to non-witnesses).

This was one of the things that used to keep me up at night.
They also used to tie in the City of Refuge archetype into this. But recently they backed out on the archetype teaching for the City of Refuge.

"Oh, That Fine Red Glow" in Brooklyn
by Wild_Thing inthis journalist's love of the watchtower sign in brooklyn is a bit disturbing ... and weird.
i assume he was not raised a jehovah's witness, as the sign evokes fond memories for him seeing the sign's night glow of red showing the time and temp.
he takes pictures of the sign from multiple locations and angles as a "keepsake".

The writer has no idea the pain and suffering that the sign represents.
Perhaps if he read some of early 20th century issues of the Brookyln Eagle...

JW Rumor: End of the Traveling Overseer
by Edison Trent ina friend of mine has contacts to a family with several circuit overseers and special pioneers.
they have good connections to bethel.. he told me that the latest rumor from bethel states that the cos should be abolished in their present form.
they have also recently begun to take cos back to bethel.. over the same channel i have already heard of the car fleet program and that the dos should be abolished.. has anyone else already heard of it?

The rumor from years ago on this forum seemed pretty credible and the arrangement to replace COs with locals seemed pretty logical. We shall see what we shall see. I am wondering what they will announce this Saturday at the annual meeting.
COs act as enforcement between the Branch and the local body of elders, I do wonder how they would maintain the same level of control of circuits without them.
I suppose since the advent of the Internet, much communication that used to need COs and now defunct DOs in the past can now be handled online.

Every one of these songs sound like they've come from the same cookie cutter factory.
It's like they've a basic template and just change some of the words around.

"exjws" and money making Ponzi schemes.
by Thisismein1972 inok i want to pose a question to those who care to discuss this.. imagine a scenario.
you hear of a exjw writing a book, however, before writing this book this exjw is requesting money to publish said book.
you go along with it and help to get this book out to the public as you think that it will be beneficial.

He only sold 2000 copies of his book?
I did see where he was going to write a second book about how to leave the JWs and it would be a quarter of the size of the second. I cannot imagine devoting 200 pages to the subject. It would be best for any advice to be put free online.

I had a plan of an elaborate fade and moving my records around several times. But after moving my records once and attending a month, I just walked out and never came back. There was no point anymore.
