  Skills Gap

  by M*A*S*H in

  the jws have now been discouraging higher education and critical thinking for a long time.

  we have all seen the 'dumbing down' of the wt literature.

  on a personal level i have seen many of the perceivably intelligent younger members of congregations leave.

  Behold the face of indoctrination! My moms guilt tripping letter to me.

  i wish i knew what it was like to have an unconditionally loving mother.

  i know she loves me and cares about me, but only within her narrow wt spectrum.

  if i do not meet her narrow expectations, i am a failure to her.

  Yes, my mother wrote me a note similar to this lately. It really can be depressing if you allow it to be. Just "duke it out" and make efforts to discretely share seeds of doubt.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are "not even wrong" and here is why.

  a magician can demonstrate an empty hat from which, seconds later, he pulls a rabbit.

  a rabbit in that empty hat?

  in pre-enlightenment times, the easy answer was: magic was real--but--it was accomplished.

  CONGRATS ON MAKING IT OFFICIAL, DA will be a clean cut for you. There is pretty much very little worries about having to see elders ever again. However, fading has advantages for others in your contact. Either way, enjoy your freedom....and thanks for sharing the great news.

  It's Over Johnny....The Demise of Jehovah's Witnesses

  i think i've mentioned before that from time to time my commute on the bqe takes me past the old factory buildings and the soon to be former headquarters building.

  i was struck the other day with how shabby they've become.

  even 25 columbia heights, still currently occupied, its facade is filthy.

  Do you feel bad throwing away literature?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.

  what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.

  if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.

  I just throw them away. Guilt is a product of watchtower that I've mentally left behind!
