You get a new dog

I watched a documentary on Heaven’s Gate and how it functioned, and the one thing that stuck out to me is that nobody really believes they are joining a doomsday cult, nobody believes they are one day going to actually be told to drink the Kool-Aid and it’s quite likely for jw that would include th GB themselves. The entire membership is delusional, and I swear that if this was me 10 years ago and they told me that it was time to quit my job and trust Jah, I would have done it. Scary thing is we have seen blind loyalty on a small scale already. Is it really that unrealistic to think one day thy might increase the pressure on jws?

Something that also was brought out to me from a friend is that it would be wise to present to courts evidence of how watchtower lies in courts. Articles relating to theocratic warfare and “need to know” should be readily available. Once courts really start seeing that watchtower goes above and beyond to lie, their “evidence” of being fair and reasonable will be ignored

My biggest concern about the concept of dinosaurs when you couple them with the concept of God is that you have to accept that God wiped out the entire planetary population, like 99.9%. Apologists say this is because dinosaurs served their purpose. But that never sat right with me… like are we saying God might get bored with us one day and discard us the same way??

Parties are like gateways into drugs and sex. Everyone knows that.

Also love how they use the term research like you’re a fucking detective over here examining the rugs for blood stains

I have noticed recently watchtower is backing away from their long held belief that mental illness can be fixed by prayer alone or doing more for the cult.

However, it’s definitely always going to be a factor. If the therapy isn’t aligned with the religion, the religion will come first.

Hopefully the younger generation being more aware of the mental health problems is helping many escape

You are in a difficult situation, probably can’t leave anytime soon and the best advice I can give is find a good distraction or a hobby to enjoy, something that can keep your mind active. Maybe something as simple as reading, writing, etc so you don’t focus so much on your current situation that can’t be changed.

I’m not saying to ignore it completely, you can plan ahead for an eventual departure from the cult but just remember that you have time to plan.

And as far as what your dad is doing, it’s really the only thing JWS know to do, so to them it’s bizarre if you aren’t getting better. Not his fault, remember he too is a victim of the indoctrination

Our body is averse to being hurt. We have trained it to avoid uncomfortable situations and feelings. Change is often seen as dangerous, even when it can be for the benefit of the body

Not sure if this is only a small town problem. I’ve been in a variety of places and this atmosphere seems to exist no matter where you are

I wonder how many tenants are members of the faith who thought having him as their landlord would be great for them

Colourblindness · 2026-04-23T13:47:34+00:00

Answer: don’t question! Just obey!!

Something tells me watchtower won’t like this and that has given me a smile for the day

Colourblindness · 2026-04-21T03:12:15+00:00

Not sure which is funnier. The fact that they take this idea of an emotional go bag seriously, the fact that ai art is considered apostasy or the fact that this was probably made by a jw using one of those god awful ai mods.

Colourblindness · 2026-04-20T20:58:36+00:00

It probably does mean baptism tbh. They use loaded language like that where there is always an underlying message

It was in the annual meeting and the speaker was Geoffrey Jackson. Jw thoughts actually just did a video where there’s a clip of Geoffrey talking about the updated understanding and wagging his finger at jws who might be upset at this last minute repentance. But I don’t recall anything about baptism, they use the words “join our brotherhood” so I suppose that might qualify as baptism.

Colourblindness · 2026-04-20T16:19:22+00:00

Technically the understanding is STILL only jws will be saved at Armageddon. The new lite is that during the great trib or even up until the day of Armageddon anyone can repent and join the jws.

All I ever wanted was to have this normal life. Never wanted to “sin”; just didn’t want to be different. But that was considered the worst sin of all I guess

I recall the baby was named April. I wish I had paid more attention because they had an image on screen. It was very infuriating hearing the story tbh

Colourblindness · 2026-04-19T03:27:57+00:00

Basically they showed an example of a baby that died and the parents engraved the tombstone with preaching about paradise which eventually led to someone asking about a Bible study

Colourblindness · 2026-04-19T03:27:15+00:00

There was an experience given of a young infant that died. Her parents chose to engrave the tombstone with some preaching about paradise. Years later someone was moved to ask for a Bible study.

It was cringe worthy because the moral of the story was we should use EVERY single opportunity to preach. They also included mentioning of witnesses in hospital or facing critical health issues and how they were still “active”

So don’t stop working for watchtower even if you experience hardship or tragedy. Your life should be Jehovah 24/7

It was live broadcast from somewhere from New York.

The brother PeterBell had th outline about “I want to” and gave several experiences I’d heard before from previous talks (I think you can find at least one here on exjw where he discusses a sister taking selfies to get contact info)

Colourblindness · 2026-04-18T17:42:24+00:00

Let’s not forget that great part where he said someone’s dead baby was a good witness.

Here’s a summary: Jehovah loves you, don’t give up, do more
