  Seeing convention post on Instagram

  i find it funny that our watchtower today was about encouragement, which was absolutly mind numbing during the meeting the way they conduct the watchtower in my hall and beat a dead horse trying to milk points out, (everyone was half asleep and the conductor had to repeat questions to the audience multiple times lol).

  but anyways, i’m seeing some post witnesses are making about the convention saying things like, i really need to get my act together and we need to make adjustments.

  wow!

  Are we losing our way a bit at JWN?

  firstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.

  it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.

  i am not bashing jwn - i love this place and appreciate the hard work and expense simon puts in to keep it going.

  @stuckinarut2: "Why dont we all start to post some more biblical, or JW based doctrinal observations again? If a thought comes to mind, please share it. You never know if it sparks anothers person's interest and ideas.

  I guess it is up to us to change the atmosphere here if we want to."

  Duly noted. I'll put together a post tonight for lurkers or newcomers to have a read. Hopefully it benefits someone out there. Thanks for the call to action.

  @Ex_JWs Brazil That is incredible. I remember in the meetings I'd see people turn on something called "AirDrop" on their iPads. Instantly, you'll see a list of other iPads being used in that hall (eg: Carly's iPad, Barry's iPad, etc). This AirDrop feature apparently enables iPad users to wirelessly transmit files to one another from across the hall, if I understand it correctly. Why not rename yours to something like @Ex_JWs Brazil's suggestion and start wirelessly sending apostate material to any other iPads that appear on your AirDrop list? Maybe save some of the many PDFs on waking up Jehovah's Witnesses and use that as your go-to file? I don't think anyone can physically trace it back to your tablet!

  Husband reading from the readers digest to our daughter...

  by nonjwspouse in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ...i could have sworn , hearing it from another room, that he was reading from a watchtower by the way he was talking!

  he used that jw cadence.

  slow reading with over emphasizing words.

  Here's the good news, @nonjwspouse: Your husband hasn't morphed into Stephen Lett with his reading style.

  The tricky news is, not even he knows where he's up to with his indoctrination. When the rest of us were mind controlled, we could have sworn to you up and down that our thoughts were our own. The tangled psychological web of Watchtower indoctrination has so many layers.

  Where is he up to with things that you have been able to observe? Eg: does he allow himself to view "apostate material"?

  @stuckinarut2 Hmmmm. We hate it when JWs use funerals as an opportunity to proselytize and recruit. Let's try not to take advantage of a wedding by doing the same for the dark side. In my opinion, just as funerals are no place for guileful witnessing, so should weddings not be a place for passive aggressive apostatizing. The occasion is strictly about the celebration of the person/couple in question :).

  My only advice: Don't get drunk and belt the speech out like it's open mic night. That's not just for the Witnesses present, but something that might be appreciated by both the bride and the groom. A lucid, eloquent speech about your love for them beats a fraternity ramble about the boys, boys, boys.

  Also, force of habit may see you resisting the urge to raise your glass in a manner that denotes a toast as you conclude your speech. There may be a chance that you COULD get away with the raised glass gesture, but try not to verbally instruct the audience to do so in like manner. Hopefully the unconscious act of mirroring will see the non-JWs raise their glasses in response.

  Best wishes to the best man.
