  Who Wore it Better?

  2. relationships

  in a bizarre world where spaghetti straps are a machination of the devil and a clean browsing history can bestow powers to resurrect your dead child, examining religious claims brings to you a side-by-side cringe fest of watchtower propaganda and latter day saints "education".. this video is part of a series revealing the "one size fits all" nature of high-control organizations.

  warning: be prepared to get hot under the collar and squeamish in your tight pants.. https://youtu.be/hio0e2ioz-8.

  Pioneers, Prayers and Pills

  looking back on my two decades as a jehovah’s witness, i’ve come to realize how the constant theme of endurance is playing a detrimental role on the individual's psyche.. jehovah’s witnesses have become far too good at keeping going.

  they’re experts at surrendering to the demands of the watchtower, living up to what’s expected of them, and getting on with the priorities that those in power have defined and imposed upon them.

  they keep showing up, presenting themselves a dutiful pioneer or ministerial servant.

  Spiritual "Protection" - a Menace on Psychological Development

  not quite a week ago, @lost in the fog created a thread entitled: do you have this illness?.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5187824140681216/do-you-have-this-illness.

  in my year of being on this forum, i have browsed many a disillusioned thread of ex-jehovah’s witnesses expressing similar symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder when detailing their awakening - my own story included.

  JWs at the Movies

  2. humour

  so i was watching some of the dramas screened at the be courageous convention, and one caught my eye.. it's the scene where a group of jw teens are watching something deemed as "sinful" at the movie theaters.

  there were only sound effects, so i decided to fill in the blanks.. https://vimeo.com/275184883.

  bottom line: machine guns = bad.

  this afternoon, i had a vision.

  one of the past, present and future.. .

  over the past two decades, i recall one distinct, universal phrase being uttered by older jehovah's witnesses on many different occasions:.

  Cheap Shots Fired

  2. beliefs

  when @brian j’s “bullet in the head” thread went live (https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4747450574176256/session-8-bullet-head) those written shots echoed in my mind.

  a week later while overhearing a bible study, the conductor was asked if god really has given us “free will”.

  but if someone ever put a gun to my head and asked me to renounce my faith as a jehovah’s witness, i would die.”.

  Unprivileged

  something just dawned on me today as i processed my assimilation into the real world (thanks to our new poster, @jester, giving me a major throwback to my first post).. when you're a jehovah's witness, you really are in some sort of la la land.

  things which are perfectly normal are acts of eating from the table of the demons.

  things which are horribly grotesque and extremely unjust are branded as "righteousness".
