  On Tattoos

  by tim hooper in

  tattoos may look great for a while on a young person, but as you get older they'll just look plain stupid.

  your credibility will fade as you and your tattoo age together.

  your skin will be permanently stuck in a timewarp, like some old newspaper headline that once meant something but later becomes meaningless.

  Most of my tatted friends and acquaintances never had that problem. They died young.

  Admittedly, I do enjoy a CAPITAL letter every so often but not all at once. A little goes a long way.

  People should put on their thinking caps before posting and use their CAPS wisely.

  Lol! Simple to ask but your cong. may have sticklers who want you to comply to their rules first. Was told I couldn't receive a KM if I was " inactive".

  Yes, Nonjwspouse,

  If Compound attends meetings and wants a hard copy his cong. should place an order. Simple.

  I wouldn't print out anything.

  Cong.'s should have several issues of cult crapola on hand for visitors.

  When someone hands you a flyer it is like saying ...

  2. humour

  i saw this on pinterest, and it made me think about the great global preaching campaign of august 2014. this is what i think whenever i absentmindedly take a flyer from someone.. .

  when someone hands you a flyer it's like they're saying "here you throw this away.

  " mitch hedberg.

  It was bound to happen. WT will spin it as conservation as if they care about the earth and deforestation.

  Meanwhile, each congregation can /do receive WT study editions. Compound, it may be that the cong. you attend is full of JWs that have tablets, ipads, printers and don't order many issues. Tell them at the " literature" counter that you would like to receive a hard copy and they will order it. Do you really want one?

  Have you ever read the review of Steven Hassan's books on Cult news.com?

  by Enzo in

  hi, to everyone my username is enzo, .

  recently a saw a video presented by john cedar presenting steve hassan as a cult expert.. .

  but read this reviews presented on cult news about steve hassan's books, and it's up to you make your own opinion about the video.

  Snap, Enzo. Both times I wrote Enzo. Repetition helps not only with indoctrination into a cult, it also helps autocorrect to recognize your name, Enzo!
  
  Is there any correlation between the two? If you think there is you may be reading too much into it.
  
  
  What were we discussing?
  
  Whether or not Steven Hassan is court recognized.
  
  And
  
  you think Cedars is promoting Steve Hassan as quid pro quo.
  
  Do you or have you ever networked? You meet colleagues in same or similar fields, etc. Steve Hassan was part of a discussion of undue influence with Cedars/ Lloyd Evans, Bo Juel Jensen and others ( not all JWs) that were cult victims who have some knowledge and first hand experience, etc.
  
  
  You were asked to name some books on the subject but you offered a site and not a personal recommendation.
  
  I've read Hassan's books. While I think they offer good information, there's no promise or guarantee that his methods are 100%.
  
  
  Enzo, have you ever seen a movie you've liked, read a book you've loved, had a dining experience in a restaurant or traveled somewhere that you couldn't stop talking about because you wanted others to experience it too?
  
  People who recognize they are in/ have been in a cult look for answers how they got indoctrinated and/or how they can help their family/ friends out. His books offer answers, not necessarily all of them for everyone, but answers nevertheless.

  I still love Kingdom Melodies.

  ok, at the risk of getting flamed, i have been out for over 20 years, and still love kingdom melodies.

  i remember them for the good times, the conventions and assemblies, hearing the orchestral versions, imagining the orchestra playing.

  some pieces were really nice.

  Bleechhh.

  That being said, there were some that had lovely melodies.

  However, I would never purposely listen to or sing/hum any of them as it was part of the indoctrination process.
