  Jehovah's Witnesses Are Under Mind Control

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you were to tell a witness that they were "brainwashed" or that they were "under mind control", they certainly would not rationally accept it.the reason is because witnesses cannot distinguish between mind control and "obeying the faithful and discreet slave".

  it is only after a person stops exposing himself to the subtle mind controlling tactics of the watchtower that a person can see how thoroughly duped they are in their beliefs.

  how might you be able to tell that you are no longer your own person, able to make your own decisions in your life?

  Part 2 of "Apostate Logical Fallacies"

  apostate logical fallacies part 2 of 2

  in my first essay on common fallacies former jehovahs witnesses commit in reference to the society i explained the error of generalizing individual witness behavior to that of the entire society.

  the other errors i notice (to a certain degree i realize they are my opinions) are related to this, yet somewhat different.

  U.S. Women Like Brit Men Better

  by GinnyTosken in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this just in from the globe weekly tabloid of july 29, 2003:.

  it's not just stars like gwyneth paltrow, madonna, gillian anderson, liv tyler, and gwen stefani--british guys are many american gals' cup of tea.. "british men are more articulate, mature, and sophisticated," says cary cooper, a university of manchester (england) psychologist, who isn't entirely biased since he was born in hollywood and has citizenship of both the u.s. and the u.k. he adds that british men are better listeners and pay more attention to their women, while u.s. men are too juvenile.. "british men also invest more in a relationship and are more emotional," cooper says.. "american men are good at talking about emotion, but really that's all it is, talk.".

  speaking of talk, might those sexy accents have something to do with it?.

  Goethe to the Rescue

  by Maximus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is especially for farkel, whose good name has been stolen but who has not been robbed of the affection so very many of us have for him.. recently we've been treated to philosophy that has been a bit opaque to many.

  i thought i'd expose you to the german philosopher johann wolfgang von goethe (sounds somewhat like gert.uh).

  he really makes sense most times, once in awhile i think him out to lunch.

  by CPiolo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you interested in why your rational arguments and reasoning, in addition to well documented information do little to sway the beliefs of true believers (family, friends, and loved ones), the reason as offered in the following article is survival.. http://www.csicop.org/si/2000-11/beliefs.html.

  offered humbly for your perusal,.

  Can we get to know each other now?

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've picked up a little about each of us on the db, but we're a reclusive little group, aren't we?.

  well, my picture won't be going up any time soon, but i'll put out some personal information and hopefully others will too.

  makes chatting more fun, don't you think?.
