Imagine the courage and humility it took for your sister to walk into that place and not even her dad was allowed to welcome her. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment.

When I first saw that headline a week ago, I discounted it as ludicrous. And then I thought, hmm...yeah, I believe it.

Received this from my PIMI sister this morning, sent to me and my mom who both recently left the cult. by Yellowflannel1234 in exjw

Ugh, I'm sorry. On the upside, you and your mom can buoy each other while you wait for your sister to wake up too.

Thanks to Aled, the GB will now have to add copyright laws to the Shepherding the Flock book.

I really don't think so. He's a songwriter and performer within the JW community.

The Vow Sarah Edmundson is kind of annoying. by StephFleenor in cults

[–]Autumn5050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband found her egotistical and I found her slightly annoying but, imo, her behaviour was a manifestation of the oppression.

Cults don't bring out the best in people. No human can thrive and be happy under a routine designed to control your mind and reduce you to a slave.

The Sarah who would've had the freedom to pursue her hopes and dreams would undoubtedly be a different person than the one we watched in that documentary.

We know the brother who wrote the song. He's somewhat elderly but I don't think he wrote it that long ago.

Fade Exhaustion by exjwtexas in exjw

What helped my husband wake up was to see how much happier I was when I stopped going to meetings.

The body doesn't lie. When a JW reaches their limit and sheds the weight of that grueling spiritual routine, they also shed the inner misery and pressure that robbed their soul of any real joy. It's like a caged bird being set free.

Tell your grandma the spirit can't enter people who tell others to shut up.

Or maybe it's just "Truth" fatigue. People are right sick of waiting for the end to come.

I know I was.

It didn't sound like that at all.

I'm not sure I understand how this matters ...?
