  Scientology Documentary on ABC

  right now two jws in my family are watching a documentary about scientology and laughing at the 'crazy things that people believe'.

  isn't it ironic?

  on the other hand i've never seen them watch something like this before.. i'm making sure to laugh loudly at things that parallel jw beliefs and behaviours in order to bring attention to them.. i hope they are curious enough to watch a similar expose on jws should it air on network tv.. yeah right, wishful thinking..

  It makes me really sad because both of them are / were in professions that require logic and reasoning (one is retired).

  Ooops...they got disinterested soon after, said they were tired, and went to bed. As expected!

  Gee...they got awfully silent when the practice of 'disconnection' came up. I smell some dissonance, not that they would ever admit it though.

  It's like being eaten by a single fire ant, one bite at a time.

  Sometimes I just want to rip my own arm off and smack speakers off the podium for spouting all those illogical lies in smug confidence.

  The most depressing part is sitting there watching the rest of my family completely aloof, as compliant as fully sedated sheep actually believing that all of it is real and that they will have everlasting life one day. Knowing that all of us will be dead one day, but that they could probably go to the grave believing all that crap, and wasting their lives working towards 'qualifying' for PROMISES that will never come true!!!

  TV / Movie Clips That Summarize JW.org Life

  this is just meant to be a fun topic.. what are some tv and movie snippets that summarize the conformity and extremism of watchtower life in general?.

  i found this trailer for the giver to be dead on :-).

  it shows what happens when you start to openly question the organization and its policies.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etspwr5deek&feature=youtu.be.

  @Skedaddle - I loved that episode of Black Mirror. I had the exact same thoughts when I saw it some months ago.

  Surge in Mormon Suicides

  by cofty in

  2. beliefs

  last november the mormon cult has issued new rules about homosexuality labelling those in same-sex relationships as apostates who can be excommunicated.

  children of gay couples are now required to leave home and repudiate their parent's relationship before they can be part of the church.. at least 32 gay mormon youths have killed themselves since the announcement of the new policy, and there’s been an alarming increase of suicidal teens and twenty-somethings in the church.....

  Soon a time will come when the pressure finally reaches a point where JW.org can no longer spin negative media reports about matters like this, and outright continue to tell people not to believe what they see in the media without seeming like complete kooks.

  The only option they will have at that time is to say that matters such as being tolerant of gays is part of the attack by Gog of Magog (a coalition of unnamed nations according to them currently). That will force them into a corner, and they will have to say that the end is DEFINITELY around the corner. JWs will get their hopes up, wait for 5, 10, 15 years...NOTHING. It will be 1975 all over again, this time with global media coverage and the internet to document it forever.

  In Jamaica we would say that you're smoking 'seasoned spliff'

  "A ganja (marijuana) spliff peppered with crack cocaine is a "seasoned spliff" joint. The brand has been expanded to include "lizard tail" that adds mystique to the product. The marketers of illicit drugs in Jamaica are proffering embellishments. With deadly earnest, they are marketing their products and building on synergies to seduce a new set of users. Their stealth is evident as many naïve users do not know that cocaine, has been added to that ganja spliff."

  simon,.

  first, i hope you and your family are having a nice christmas.. we are at the end of the year, so it's time to ponder a bit about how grateful we should be to you and all the contributors for making this site for what it is.

  i have noticed other jw's forum related sites come and go, but this one has held steady for many years.

  It's easy, this site is clearly Jehovah's Spirit Directed Organization, with his backing :-p
