Pale.Emperor And The Hypnotists
by pale.emperor ineven as a jw i was fascinated with hypnosis and seeing people like derren brown putting people under almost instantly.
in the last 2/3 years when i was a jw but beginning to wake up from the bullshit i read up on hypnosis, watched a few youtube demos and explanations etc.
but never actually studied it seriously until about a year ago.

What really should be the role of Women in the congregations?
by Old Navy inthe presumably "biblical" practice of limiting the way women participate in congregational matters of the wtborg cult inc. (as well as certain other sects of christendom) may be a gross mis-interpretation of what paul meant.
i'm inclined to agree completely with this account of what paul really meant.. thoughts anyone?
aren't women more deserving of greater participation and respect?.

So, small = special in borgspeak.
Why do I get the feeling that the borg is becoming more and more "special" 😉 as time goes on.

Interesting PE interested to know what's the story with Derrin Brown is he legit?
Programs like that It seem so staged to me and so it's hard to take the subject seriously. But, I know there is more to it than just entertainment, for instance, don't we all go into a mild trance like state just watching TV?
Call me crazy but I find the JWTV broadcasts very "hypnotic" the droning voices, the slow spinning of the globe in the background, the blue set all combine to lull you into a state perfect for suggestion - IF you allow yourself to switch off, go with it and stop thinking critically about what they are saying.

Why would Jehovah God write the Ten Commandments on two tablets of stone ,in the first place ?
by smiddy3 ini mean to say he is the creator of the universe isn`t he ?
so why would he use such a method that is subject to crumbling over time ?.
i remember a jw talk/mag.

Would have been way more impressive if a giant finger wrote them in the sky before the whole assembly.
Otherwise you just got Larry Curly and Mo's word for it. I mean, what was that chiseling sound heard coming fom the mountain while Mo was gone...hmmm?

Women's role as set out from the creation of Eve, in Jewish society and then reiterated by Paul is to be in subjection to men. A domestic slave, a property, and in the case of concubines a sex slave and an incubator.
In many places across the world they are still treated this way and worse. I just wish the people that choose to defend religion from the relative safety and freedom of western worlds would remember this.

How much do you think the internet has hurt JW growth?
by HereIgo inthe internet is what helped bring me and so many others out of this evil organization or at least confirmed our doubts.
i have to say, i have seen quite a few youtube videos recently of ex jw's secretly recording their interactions inside of different congregations, halls, etc and see how empty the halls are!
so many people comment on how the attendance is so low, far more emptier than when i was in 6 years ago, even on a weekday meeting.
