Stepford Children

by Disassociated Lady 2 in

i watched this movie for the first time today and i noticed some disturbing similarities with the personalities of jws.

the way they train their children and wives so they become robots to serve jehovah, but most importantly of all, to make their husbands and fathers look good and boost their egos.

if you haven't watched this movie or stepford wives, take a look.

Yes Vidiot you are right about that! Sometimes it does feel as if your family members have been replaced by strange robotic beings :-O x

How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?

by stuckinarut2 in

it's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".

"is he 'in the truth'?".

most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.

Its a form of mind control, the more they describe it as "the truth" it imprints in their minds and then they believe it. Very sneaky!! :-) x

I watched this movie for the first time today and I noticed some disturbing similarities with the personalities of JWs. The way they train their children and wives so they become robots to serve Jehovah, but most importantly of all, to make their husbands and fathers look good and boost their egos. If you haven't watched this movie or Stepford Wives, take a look. Thoughts? :-) x

JW Facebook puriven garbage

by Lostandfound in

below is an example of the pure cliche driven and meaningless posts by witnesses to witnesses on facebook .

it was truly a blessing from jehovah that your original plans .....didn't work out, because instead our family was able to enjoy a spiritually filled morning with ,spiritual food and spiritual entertainment and singing praises to our glorious god, grand creator and loving heavenly father jehovah was a memorable gift.

he has truly provided a perfect example of christian brotherly love through his son, our savior jesus christ.

Robots, Stepford People, Village of the Damned children now adults.....so many movies remind you of their mind control. :-) xxx

So, how did the 'beard article' go over yesterday at your congregation?

by neat blue dog in

at mine the conductor was somewhat awkward and minimal and there were nervous chuckles from the audience.

two people, including an elder, gave reasonable comments that it's okay as long as it's not extreme styles, etc.

but then another one of the elders commented that nothing has changed and they still aren't proper locally.

Jesus and his disciples wouldn't be welcome now then, would they??? :-D xxx

Question: Can't You Just Ignore A Judicial Committee?

by Sorry in

one thing i've never understood is judicial committees.

yes, i understand it's held to see if elders should go through with the disfellowshipping process.

but why give them all the power?

I also tried to insist that another sister was present during the JC meeting as I was a woman on my own in a locked room with 3 men! They refused of course!! x

Just after being reinstated this year, I was sent a letter saying that someone in the congregation made allegations that I was involved in spiiritism. After the two hour grilling by a very aggressive elder when I was called to the KH unexpectedly, I did not want to go through that again, so I did not attend. Even though they knew my address you cannot find the cottage unless you are told where it is. Surprise surprise, the window cleaner was a JW and told them where it was!! Needless to say he was given his marching orders after that!! Anyway the two elders turned up here and disfellowshipped me on my own doorstep. They told me I could appeal, but I knew it would be unsuccessful and after all that I was relieved to be free again. I have lost family contact again but even when I got it back for a while I did not enjoy it as its like trying to have a relationship with Stepford robots! There is nothing I am missing out on by not being part of it.

If the lady in question does not get DF, they will be watching her every move and will make life very uncomfortable!! x

Shunning & separation from family

by CJxfarmx in

i was raised in jw as a child.

my dad was a jw my mom was not, they are divorced now.

i was never baptized or anything but i stopped going once i had the choice at age 12. now i am 41 and my dad will not associate with me, my wife or my 3 kids.

Disassociated Lady 2

I left the JWs at 16 and have been shunned most of my life since then, my parents didn't really know my children and I have not had much contact with siblings either. You can find genuine people who will be more caring than your family and will help fill the gap. :-) xxxxxx

Suicides in the JWs

by Disassociated Lady 2 in

during my time in the jws there was a friend i had known since i was a small child.

he was an elder's son and around my age.

he would often instigate the game of "tag" after the meetings.

How to accept and move on from JW's?

by Alostpuppydog in

just like the title says, how does ones self start the transition out of the jw's belief system, since i will never be allowed to go to a kingdom hall and believe a lot of what they teach.. i guess more importantly how have you guys here moved on that have had some exposure to the jw's?.

any advice is more than welcomed and i thank those that have thus far replied to me!!

Go out and make new friends, there are people out there who are caring and genuine. Have fun, go clubbing, celebrate Christmas etc. and don't feel guilty about it. Not all of us leave the JWs and engage in every act of immorality as the elders accuse us of. We all have our boundaries and in our hearts know right and wrong. Just enjoy being free. :-) xxx
