My gaug is if the poster keeps going round and round sucking time and energy, being given answers, and still keeps it going in a futile loop of neverending bullshit reponses masked as "but what about" questions then they're probably doing so for purposes other than genuine curiousity.

Why do trolls do what they do?
by Londo111 ini truly don't understand the mindset of a troll.
i know it's been explained, but i still don't get it.
it is hard to distinguish between a troll and a jw apologist at times because the reactions are very similar.

Have you noticed the common practice is to knock indivual's self esteem?
by stuckinarut2 inin another thread, one of our members made a comment that caught my attention.. i have been trying to put my finger on a practice amongst the org and witnesses in general.... as soon as someone does something well, accomplishes something, or excels at something, the atmosphere effectiveley 'kicks them in the gut' to bring them down.. anything that makes a person grow or develop is blatently discouraged and therefore self esteem is squashed!.
the constant message telling a witness to be 'humble' is designed to suck any sense of growth or 'betterment' out of a person..... therefore this leaves the average witness to be a blubbering mess of insecurity and instability completely dependant on the organization...kind of like a 'battered-wife' scenario.... .

This thread reminds me how much I miss posters like ADCMS he was so funny and we need more comedians on here to balance out all the "we're ex-jehovah's witnesses we speak out in seriousness" crap which frankly can be a real downer in large doses.

What I miss about going out in service.
by compound complex inwell, very little, to be honest.
the structure and commitment of the ministry provided discipline necessary to my life.
therefore, i did it, as required, and felt some sense of fulfillment at the bible study stage.. i do like talking to people.

Just no longer feeling that awful obligated pressure of being a walking talking billboard for the WT everywhere I go is wonderful.

Re LGBT - "What specific rights don't they currently have?"
Maybe with semi- transitioned trans people they are required to dress as their birth gender or use the bathroom according to their birth gender whilst at work or something??
Other than that, buggered if I know, now you mention it.

Some powerful stuff against the WT
by Giordano inin another thread a poster has been in a pitched fight with others about the results from the arc.
trying to explain away the results and minimizing the damages.
what he has failed to understand is that the society had and still does have certain policies in place that hide the sexual abuse of minors.

Reading a great book on mindfulness at the moment and noticing how WT actually trains people to be mindLESS.
Back into my art again as I gave it up for a while because the loving bros and sis 's would always analyze my work in a way that made me terribly uncomfortable especially the abstract stuff. Art is a "hiding place of demons" - apparently.
Excersizing like a crazy person - and loving it.
Still reading and researching like a crazy person - and loving it.
Watching netflix like a crazy person - and loving it.
Speaking of crazy can feel my mind returning a little more everyday.
Generally much much kinder to myself these days.
And of course the only thing I would add to chocloate is champagne.
