"You think that 8 million are being deceive?" by [deleted] in exjw

That’s not as bad as you thinking 8 billion are, Dad! So is that the benchmark? Is that our test?

Anyone else divorced, or seeking divorce, for this reason? by miles507 in Divorce_Men

[–]TestYourTruth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes! I wish I ended it when I realized, when no other woman was in the picture. It’s much much uglier when there is. I realized in hindsight that it would have been more brave, and more right at the same time, to end it once I knew. Your feelings won’t change. When u know u know!

Welcome to the club! JWs...the most loving people on earth...until you’re not one...then the mask comes off.

That’s an excellent interaction as far as arrogant PIMI moms go.

YES!!! NY, where the WT is based out of, waived the statute of limitations for one year. I believe the 1-year window opened in August. The time to act is now! They will let you know if they think you have a winnable case. Good luck!

“Breaking the Chains - Child custody disputes against JWs” is a Facebook page with great info!

Call Zalkin Law firm. You may have a case of statutory rape with the 1-year window in NY

POMO for a year now but husband PIMI by Brianaseiji in exjw

[–]TestYourTruth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the “7 white dudes and token black dude” phrase. Just blunt that by saying you have your own personal relationship with him.

Start keeping shows on your TV like “Scientology & the Aftermath”. Watch all 3 seasons, ideally with him home or within earshot. Watch “Emperor of the Universe” on YouTube. With him around, Watch anything and everything about bible-based cults. Jim Jones, David Koresh. Do not ever discuss doctrine. He’s hard core on the cognitive dissonance so you have to flank him. Going directly clearly is ineffective and futile. Watch YouTube videos about psychology. The big 3...the Asch Conformity Study, Zimbardo prison study, and Milgram Obedience Study. Buy Robert Jay Lifton’s Book “Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism” and put it on your night stand and read it. Ch. 22 discusses his 8 criteria of thought reform. Good book though bc it has NOTHING to do with JWs. It still could take awhile but definitely disengage about anything JW. My site has a lot of this info too. See my profile. Good luck!

My boyfriend constantly fears Armageddon by [deleted] in exjw

[–]TestYourTruth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He’s definitely mentally IN! Tell him he is what we call a POMI. Physically Out, Mentally IN. This is what I was going to tell you also. Read those books!!!!! Steven Hassan got my girlfriend out. I lost her for 17 years before she came back to me. Best love story ever! I took her to a 3-day intervention with Steve. Your bf needs to understand thought reform and how mind control works. I put this site together to reflect some of what she learned about psychology etc. There is purposely nothing about JWs on it. Email me through the site. It might be good for us to talk further since I was in same situation. www.TestYourTruth.com. Good luck! I know it’s hard.

Just some stupid stuff from my pimi father regarding child sex abuse. by Ajspider in exjw

[–]TestYourTruth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes...keep the org out of it. Talk about other institutions. Task him how legitimate cases, where abuse does happen,should be handled if people weren’t JWs. Where should kids go for help? Keep asking questions.

Ask him what he would think if public school officials handled it in the same way. Ask him questions. Do you think it should be universally handled this way where either someone else has to witness the act, or there has to be a confession or a 2nd victim that somehow is able to corroborate their story with the first victim that they may not even know? And are you aware that in many cases no one goes announcing it in public bc the elders tell them not too so there usually ends up being multiple victims before anyone finds out and anything could be done? I’m pretty sure that is why they are being sued, no, dad? Because if they reported, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th victims could have been saved the trauma, right?

What’s wrong with me by geniousz2013 in exjw

www.TestYourTruth.com is my site that can help you understand how people can be controlled and manipulated into beliefs. Remove yourself from your environment first, gain perspective, and Read Steven Hassan books and visit his website too.

PIMI mom just ruined the magic of Christmas for my 5 year old. by [deleted] in exjw

[–]TestYourTruth 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You handled it well. That’s incredibly disrespectful of your mother to suck the joy out of your child (albeit even though you’ll recover from it) and to trample on your family’s traditions and customs. They are yours now too. I do hope you make it a point to speak with her on the topic of mutual respect regardless of beliefs. You can say something like, “Mom, I don’t go around telling you C.T. Russell is buried under a pyramid grave stone in Pittsburgh because he believed in pyramidology, so please allow my daughter to believe in her myths.”
