so according to the law department's meeting in feb 2016, russia has been studying the linguistics of the watchtower articles and discovered its brainwashing abilities!.
lol it's funny now that i'm on the russian side of this debate now, ban them all!.
I found his mixing of metaphors idiotic to say the least.
Look! Is it a train, is it an ant? No it's a mountain!
Neither did it add up logically. If the Russian Government really did view JWborg and it's literature as small and insigificant as an ant I doubt they would have bothered with them. Also the thing about the planting of JW's own literature in their KH was laughable. Like saying the cops planted the stolen goods that I stole at my house - the bastards!

That excerpt is really interesting OC. Thanks.
please could someone explain to me what the generation thing i keep seeing in people's threads was that had lots of people leave the wts coz it was way before i became a witness.
The "this generation" is now a perpetual generation a Buzz Lightyear of generations "to infinity and beyond."
End of discussion.
i came across this video, which looks at mental illness among jws.. it is an old video, but really hits the nail right on the head as to the reasons why there is such a high level of mental illness among the jw's.. https://youtu.be/co-b65w-zqs.
I don't know if it would be possible to conduct accurate research on such a closed group. Particularly when the people in that group live in religious lala land are intellectually and emotionally dishonest, lie to themselves and others, and who couldn't give a straight answer to save their lives.
does anyone know why the written review was stopped?
i relished the half hour silence they'd give you to "write down your answers", time i spend doodling or thinking up cool song lyrics..
Lol yeah, the "oral" review. Always sounded like an article from Cosmo circa "Sex and the City" era.
greetings, dreamers:.
i guess it's never going away: daytime carryovers of jw-related stuff seeping into my dreams.. the majority of these dreams take place at conventions but with really weird trappings.
last night i dreamed i arrived at the site with no books, no lunch, nothing but my car keys.
I rarely dream about JWs now, but, I used to all the time. The dreams themselves were not scary just everyday JW stuff and always with a sense of dread and forboding to them, sinister even.
I have noticed I'm more likely to remember my dreams when I'm trying to figure out the answer to some question or conundrum in my awake life.
All that JW stuff really does seep into your subconscious though and can take a while for it to be exorcised.
yesterday i went to a shopping center.
i saw a dub who was once a very friendly person.
he was about 10 metres from me when i noticed him.
I don't mind saying that every post-fade encounter I've had with JWs has been weird AF.
"Now they're just somebody that I used to know..."
for the second month no jw.org tv show, but the annual meeting this time... .
g..
Wonder if the new content will include a monthly apostate hate session lol.
never througt there would be a jw.org hq song.. they have become mad.. https://tv.jw.org/#nl/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-osg_40_video.
g..
Next iteration of the song will just be chanting
G..B G..B G..B...
At least the words will be easy to remember.
i left the jw organization last year during summer.
maybe some of you can relate.
who of you are agnostic or an atheist?
As a witness you were expected to announce your belief like a trumpet toot to all and sundry. Witnesses also tend to believe they had a license to ask other people including complete strangers to explain even justify their beliefs, because, apparently, when you believe you are right and have all the answers you have a right to ask and know because you are on a mission from God to put people right.
Now, I view this rather personal question as a trap. The sort of question one asks right before they give you what-for on how wrong or stupid your beliefs are. So, because of my distrust of the question I tend not to ask people what they believe re religion anymore as I feel it's none of my business and what I believe is none of theirs. The only exception to this is if they state upfront why they're asking (but even this can be a trap) or I know them very well.
Call it once bitten twice shy, but, there you have it.
