Do you know if it's possible to watch this online? We don't have cable...
we are going to edinburgh today to see what's going at the festival, go out for a meal and probably see a show.. i have made up some cards with the jwfacts.com logo to hand to jws on the trolleys.
there is nothing on the cards part from the logo.
ttatt is only a click away..
Happy Anniversary to Cofty and the Missus!
in the last year or so, many bible passages that i used to strongly and confidently apply to non-jws, began to seem to apply to jws.
this change in my thinking was shocking and disturbing.
i can best describe the feeling by comparing it to the feeling i got in 1981 when i watched the movie dead and buried starring james farentino.. in that movie there are murders committed in a small town by dead people reanimated by a doctor doing experiments.
It's the technique of Projection. Abusive, controlling manipulators use it to accuse others of the horrible acts they are actually committing themselves. It's a huge mind game. The gb accuses others of committing their sins while hiding the same from members. That way "the others" are always in the wrong. You have to be out from under that control to recognize what's happening and I think something negative has to affect you personally for that to happen. Once the blinders come off, we all start to feel stupid that we didn't see what was right in front of us all the time. But you can't see it when you're being mind-controlled by ridiculous amounts of "read-watch-listen as we command" because your brain is overwhelmed/burdened by all the doctrinal baggage and rules. Hitler also used this method to great success for a time...
in doing some research, i recently ran across a september 1, 2000 wt article that contained a brother's testimony about his years of service in the organization.. he said, "as we arrived for the meeting one sunday in 1938, two elderly sisters greeted us, and one said: `young brother, have you taken your stand for jehovah yet?
you know, armageddon is just around the corner!
' i knew that jehovah is the only true god, and i was convinced that this is his organization.
Thanks for the chart!
well - i had been wanting to do this for a long time , to question a legal department representative at bethel about the child abuse settlements and jw child abuse, since last year when the news came out about it.
especially since my dad , an elder for years was never aware of it and has on his own taken steps to see that families with children are informed if a former pedophile is in their congregation.
i was curious as to what the current views and policies in place are .
Thanks for bringing this back, Flipper. Many new ones or lurkers are still not aware of the extent of the child abuse coverup by jws. This story cannot be repeated enough!
especially to those who know me in person, i wanted to share with you my joy today.. i spoke today very long with my jw family of my position (away from the org, separated and gay), without any criticism or attack or threat.
quite an achievement.. why about this change?
parents age is moving them to see the reality of the situation.
Thanks for sharing your happy news!
So sad for all these aged ones who thought they were doing gods work but only ended up making others wealthy. Hugs to you all.
some of this will be repeat, since it's been a little while since i posted about my "bible study" sessions with miss k, my elderette.
we are talking about the name of jehovah.
thanks for talking with us today.
Nice completion. You made it clear they are worshipping men and they panicked. It's amazing they think all people who don't agree with them must be evil apostates. It never offers to them that some folks actually use their thinking abilities! Very happy you saw through the craziness.
former jehovah's witness preacher arrested for playing strip poker with 14-year-old boy -- get all the grody details right hereby james kingthu., nov. 4 2010 at 2:39 pm82 commentscategories: holier than who?david nelson ?strip poker can be a fun party game when played by visually -- and age -- appropriate gamblers.
it's a problem, however, when one of those playing is a preacher -- it's an even bigger problem when the only other player is a 14-year-old boy.. .
the former preacher at a jehovah's witness church in phoenix was arrested last night for allegedly playing strip poker -- and doing a lot of other sick stuff -- with a 14-year-old boy more than 30 years ago.. .
So many nasty things kept hidden. Wonder what the ratio is of abusive elders compared to r&f sex abusers? You think it's higher or the same?
they say horses communicate with their ears.
mr. ed talked, though.
pet owners, do you think that your cat or dog or goldfish really understands you?.
Apog, I have to agree.
And remember: You bring dogs food, they think of you as god. You bring cats food, it confirms that they are god. Cats are in charge.
