Do any of you born into the cult feel like your mental growth was stunted?

by rockemsockem in

being born in to me was devastating.

when you are a child born in and raised with the they vs us and they are evil and worldly and going to die.

not allowed to form relationships with anyone not one of you.

Well, my parents were the first impediment I would have to say. Then my mother's religion. I think how you rise above it, depends a lot on your basic personality and if there is intervention from others that come into your life. Or circumstances.

Unfortunately, my personality is pretty docile and trusting. I've been in a box most of my life and still struggle against being influenced. No support from parents in art and the religion X'd it out. I only did art in a commercial sense when i left for a short period. Too bad the fear of Armageddon drug me back in.

So many ingrained pathways at this point, that progress is slow. Oh Well.

"Hagar's" clothing is a little suspect because the artist did both her and Sarah, and handled draping really well. But I don't understand the bunching of her material on her shoulder. These two ladies are well done and did a sitting.

The rest of the figures - some have been taken from stock pictures and collaged together. The bull and the walker are stuck together but not convincingly. And you can see they used the same people in different places. I don't know if the "skeleton hand" on her shirt was purposeful or unintentional. Was Hagar's clothing a rush job creating puckers in her shoulder area or an artist that was doing it on purpose... can't say.

Do You See "The Elephant In The Room" At This JW Regional Convention?

by JW GoneBad in

someone posted this image on their facebook page of a recent jw rc showing a rather petite group of baptismal candidates.

notice there are nearly 75 seats (5 rows) reserved for the occasion.

by my count...it looks like between 17 to 19 were baptized...with total attendance of 6,000. the youngest among them looks like between 9 and 11 years old.

Looks like more baptizers than baptized. At least the lady provided a break from the standing around waiting.

I had posted this before but it didn't take i guess. It's not an earth shattering image but it does show that the artist has purposely inserted/invented a little image onto the background.

Why the Catholic Church outlast Jehovah's Witnesses

by no-zombie in

many of us who are old timers in "truth", will clearly remember how we and the organization gloated when christendom began selling off their churches, as we saw many ending up becoming cafe's and art galleries.

i personally remember being told (both in general conversation and in print) that the fall of their congregant numbers meant that most churches were ultimately attended by the elderly and it was clearly linked to the "drying up of her waters" in reference to the fall of babylon and babylon the great..

how ironic, that this very situation has now befallen the society and our local kingdom halls..

Yes being one of the first major religions has it's advantages. They also didn't have the internet to debunk them for hundreds of years.

Xanthippe - There is something there. But what the intent is - joke by a bored artist - revenge by a pimo artist - the king of Evil known as the WT - shrugs.

Or an even simpler explanation - lazy artist that used a photoshop tool to remake the background and ended up doing a mirror by mistake because well, they were lazy.
