in retrospect, for lurkerking fence sitters.

Yep, and some would go and watch the July 4th fireworks too
i was just watching dinesh d'souza talking about a chinese newspaper, and he was saying that the chinese communists like to have a form of communication that isn't 'officially' from the government but can transmit what they want people to hear.
instantly reminded me of the gb, how they have agendas and outlines for circuit overseers, schools, even supposedly spontaneous experiences at conventions that are used to push certain ideas.
they do the effective job at the time, but most jws wouldn't be able to track it down in print later.

And with the short term memory loss most JWs suffer from, it doesn't pose a problem and does what it's designed to do.

lurkerking and diddenters, my two new favorite words lol
so i noticed one of the members here came to my jwtalk website, where i am an important administrator, and tried to join my site.. i check in here every so often and i was able to deduce that person was an apostate fraud, likely bent on polluting my site.
i denied their request to join.. ha!
gotcha!
I am an important administrator
You can't be serious 🤣 how old are you?
Also, why are you STILL too much of a coward to answer the simple question: Why are you disobeying the Governing Body's explicit direction to not talk with 'opposers' online?
a pew study from 2020 (but one i just now came upon myself) reported that the more liberal you are, the more likely you are to have a mental health condition.
the worst suffering group are white females, ages 18-29 where over 56% have admitted to be described by their own doctors as having a mental health condition.
conservative females of the same age group suffer at less than half that number (27%).. while women tend to have more mental health problems than men (don't be mad at me for saying it, this is what the study reports) it is notable that liberal men have a higher percentage of mental health conditions than conservative women in the same age group.
Funny thing is, they're currently 'owning' this by making it the cool thing to do, to post on social media about how you have mental illness and not ashamed, spread the word etc. Insanity has gone mainstream apparently.
i’ve noticed a change in family attitude recently, like there is just something extra on their mind.
i even had to call my brother to check if he was dying and too scared to tell me.
anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.
2014 seems like yesterday, but it was 7 years ago, and there were some JWs hoping that would be the end what with it being the 100th anniversary of the last days.
to be a witness you had to accept whatever spiritual food was being dished out.
even if it didn’t make any sense, we were expected to believe.
now that we are out of the cult, do you find yourself a person who doesn’t just accept the status quo?
It's not a coincidence that so many ex-JWs here are conservative or libertarian.
schizophreniform.
like schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder is a type of "psychosis" in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined.
it also affects how people think, act, express emotions, and relate to others.. .
Good post, I don't get the downvotes.
i hope this is in the right area.
i've been studying the 2520 days/years 607/587/586 debacle.
for a while now i have felt 1914 was wrong.
Unlike you, I am in control of my cognitive dissonance.
Hold up...You admit to having cognitive dissonance? Assuming you know what that means, what contradictory beliefs are you trying to hold right now? Is it that JWs are the truth, but they're wrong about debating with apostates online? Or something else?
