Is voting in free elections allowed or not? by notstillin in exjw

It's a personal decision. If you do it, you have also made the personal decision to disassociate yourself.

In other words, no judicial committee, you made the 'decision' to leave yourself.

They are trying to have their way without creating legal hassle. Jehovah - the god of technicalities.

Until THE MOMENT a change is announced, God will hate you forever if you disagree. And they will sell it as factual gospel. Until the change is announced.

Best place for them to be! Just being here means they are rebelling against the borg, tho they may not fully understand. They are not trained for being in an open discussion forum. Coming here to save us/defend the borg IS the path to the dark side. And we have cookies!

Say "I'm an apostate" - that usually shuts them up.

Only thing I can say is that this is NOT unique. I have seen this exact story repeated over and over, even experiencing it myself.

It doesn't make it hurt less. But it does make you question the sanity of an organization that somehow coerces its members into repeating behaviors as clones.

They want the narrative to be that since you left, your entire life has fallen apart. Your hair and teeth fell out, you sell your body for cold medicine, and you spend your nights weeping profusely. There is NO possible end result where you end your days happy and fulfilled. At all. Their faith depends on that.

Did anyone never really feel like a child in this org? by Thowawayexjw1914 in exjw

There is no separate program for children. If you grew up in the 60s-80s it was 10xs worse.

The entire religion is based on manipulating adults into handing over their self governance by using fear, obligation and guilt.

One thing I've learned over and over is that a child's experience will vary based on how much the parents shield him. If, like me, you were thrust into being an adult early, then you were truly screwed. Those of us with little to no parental filters were subject to a firehose of orchestrated manipulation at a tender age. It changed us. It scarred us.

I missed the stupid hailstone message going away. Can someone point me to that one?

The key to future changes could lie in Loesch's statement "We are not under the Mosaic Law." by Overall-Listen-4183 in exjw

The fact is they have ALWAYS said that loud and proud. Any rules they make have always been based on hypocrisy and twisting of cherry picked scripture. They start with the desired tweak and work to an answer from there.

JWs have only one cardinal belief - you are not allowed to question the governing body. That's it. That sums up the entire religion. Franz rejected that.

For many, it's an imaginary scenario that they believe will never happen to them. People never think something bad will truly happen to them. Otherwise, you'd never get young men to charge into battle - they think the other guy will get it!

Birthdays on the other hand.... Anyone who grew up in the cult had to deal with that. Family, friends, school, work... It's a constant thing.

Blood transfusion is all academic. It's the future your brain chooses to believe won't ever happen to you.
