I think so what has a point. Just because someone learns TTATT does not automatically make them a likeable or better person. Hopefully it will expand thier horizons but sometimes they trade one prison for another.

if tomorrow dozens of jws learned of ttatt
by sowhatnow inand they left the congregations, would you then feel open to be thier friends?.
many on here have the same complaint, that in the jw congregations, there were clickes, no one had time for each other,.
people judged, there was a lack of association, freindship , true concern and love were lacking.

I liked it. It would be really effective with pictures . Can you picture the dance scene?
Jws with brief cases and magazines knocking on doors and doors being slammed in their faces?

one last step..Is being mentally out the same as being emotionally out?
by MissFit inwe talk here about the importance of being mentally and physically out to be really free.. what about being emotionally free?.
i realized for me, i had to be emotionally awake first.
i had been yo-young back and forth for years.

((((Lisa Rose))):I'm sorry for your loss. It is so hard when the people you need the most are emotionally unavailable. You are right there will always be a hole that cant be completely filled.
The sad part is your family cant appreciate what they are losing by shutting you out.
I think it is harder to accept and mourn the loss of ones still living.
The utter waste is no more obvious than at a funeral of a loved one. All that precious time gone. Jws dont realize there are no do overs.

Coco, I used to be offended when I first was on this site by the way posters would alter JW buzz words or even *gasp* Jehovah's name (Jokehova ). The truth- troof, the Org.-the Borg.
Using ridicule can make a point in a nonviolent way, but it can also harden ones' s resolve if you were raised to embrace a persecution complex.
As I continued to visit this sight I realized that the posters were taking away the power and authority the "JW "buzz words represented . I thought twice before I used the same words that used to trip off my tongue.
it's amazing the difference when you change field service to field circus, meetings to boasting sessions ect.
Changing words and highlighting the absurdity can open eyes.

Wow Vidiot. I know what you mean. I fully expected to be destroyed at Armageddon for choosing my family.
Cognac: i'm sorry you are going through such a hard time. I hope your husband realizes how important it is to build a relationship with his family.

Well I just talked to my mom the other day. I guess I'm not as emotionally out as I thought I was. She sure knows how to push those buttons.😫

which is a better attitude: I can't respect it, but I understand it or I cant understand it , but I will respect it?
by MissFit inso is it possible to understand a reason and not respect it?
shouldn't understanding lead to a respect of the reasons and actions?.
or can you respect the reasons and actions without understanding them?.
