What do you think about this kind of ambush?
:0)
i was sitting at a local city event enjoying watching an activity.
a friendly looking woman dressed in blue jeans and a floppy hippy looking top came and sat down besides me.
she notices i am sketching and says she likes to do this too.
What do you think about this kind of ambush?

maybe you guys got on to this right away, but i've just noticed something about the remember the wife of lot video.. we all know the scene where the judgmental jw dad gives that disapproving look to the girl who has lesbian parents:.
this look actually appears again throughout the video - but on other jws.
in the scene where the new brother is out in service with the former co. look at the new brothers reaction to when a "worldly" person knows the former co from work:.
It means that when you're constantly rewriting everything it's inevitable that you're going to regularly trip over yourselves, for me this doesn't exactly inspire confidence in a religious hierarchy that demands unquestioned obedience under all circumstances,

was there something that was said to you that got the wheel turning in your brain, that caused you to start waking up to ttatt, either by a jw or ex-jw that you didn't know was awake?
i'm trying to think of things i can say or ask of my current family members still in that may help them to start seeing the real truth about the organization.
they think we're still in..
Did a current jw help me to exit? Not intentionally,

i honestly believe he has memory difficulties, him and mr letts iq is not much greater than a rabbit.
no the rabbit wins..
For shame! The poor man's mind is preoccupied with choosing the socks he's going to wear in heaven!

i cant believe what i'm hearing... actually, nothing surprises be about this cult anymore.. didn't they say to the judge in the arc that they dont discourage college?.
What I get from this talk is that they want your life, they want to yank you from learning if that's what you're doing in order to serve them full time in non paid publicity and/or building work, they like to especially take your young, does this sound like a cult to you?

i was born in the religion but why on earth do people join this religion?
?.
There's a danger of overgeneralizing of course, but I would like to add a couple of things, men (and women) are often looking for answers to life and if there's something that ties everything quite neatly together there's an attraction, men like games and puzzles a lot, so a people that claim to solve, Daniel, Ezekiel and REVELATION are HUGE, there was a time when alot of women were home alone with babies and small children, so regular company coming by was welcomed, for what it's worth those coming out of the territory were almost always pretty young and POOR,

had the misfortune of stopping by the "regional" convention yesterday.
i promised my daughter i would come to sunday afternoon so she wouldnt have to ride home with her mother.... holy crap it was weird!
im sure all of this has been covered on the forum but to actually see it.... just wow.
I noticed the dress change at my last conventions, over the six decades that I was in the people's dress had a quasi Amish feel to it, I had no real opinion about it but there was this certain feeling that I liked from the way they dressed, I recall enough brothers in sports jackets, now, the vast majority were wearing black suits, I can't even think of another setting where men would be dressed like this, I mentioned this to my Uber-Elder son who went into an apologetic involving black going so well in all seasons :) (absolutely nothing can be remarked upon) Changes yes, but creepy changes, I'm not a fan and would now be embarassed to bring an "interested" one,

I think that many just sleep through everything, Many just don't care, A lot buy the we're inspired but imperfect propoganda,

A: I'm outraged
B: I'm reminded of Bill Nye touring The Ark Project with Ken Ham, they were debating a number of points as they walked when they came upon a number of school aged kids, (this caught my attention as I have two jw grandchildren) Nye listened to their indoctrinated nonsense but he didn't engage them, instead he said: "I want to really encourage you kids to go to University"
C: The leaders of the jw religion are calculating and evil
D: I'm outraged
E: jws are apparently mindless puppets, note how the audience applauds whenever he raises his voice even at inappropriate times,
(if you're in University you're "accountable to Jehovah for this" so get down on your knees and pray for forgiveness (implied) )
some may say gb , other may say popes , jesus he qualified as one and started his own religion.
terry on the forum he is up there.
it's that religious zeal against a former life.
Capernicus, Galileo, da Vinci, Martin Luther, Henry VIII, John Calvin, Sir Isaac Newton, William Miller, Joseph Smith, Ellen G White, CT Russell, FJ Rutherford, (I feel uncomfortable putting Ray Franz with some of the people I've listed so I won't)
And since we have such a great cloud of apostates before us...
