  for some reason I feel like Im in the studio audience of Jerry Springer.....
  sin now and repent later, seriously, I CANNOT wait to read COC. Its been on order for 5 weeks.
  The stories told here hit harder than any non-jw divorce/break-ups. I thought part of being "in" the truth was the security and trust between couples. Devils and Demons are at work.

  Are JW's so paranoid because they know their all just acting?

  by Maverick in

  sassy got me thinking about how people here can just be themselves and not worry about being "found out"!

  i know at the k-halls everyone is acting all holy and righteous.

  but they all watch everyone else and listen to what is said to make sure that a) they are not discovered, and b) to see if the other person will "slip-up" and give their true feelings away!.

  ....that really didnt answer your question. In a nutshell, they are all stiff, and the conversation in forced at the meetings, not free flowing if that makes sense

  good point Maverick. Came from a meeting the other day and the mc/brother said to me as he was leaving "can't wait to get out of this suit and tie" amongst other little things hinting he wanted to get the hell out of there. In my opinion, I see it as something they feel obligated to do under the "rules and regulations" as a dedicated servant....sure it strengthens faith - but really most would like to sleep in on a sunday morning. Ive seen the preperation in the mornings "oh my goodness Im just soo tired!"....
  
  Acting? I guess they are trying to act nice not necessarily being true to eachother (the way they express their emotions etc). In this way they are distinguishable from "wordly humans". Anything thats sets them apart from the r.o.w. Deep inside, they are itching to sleep in sunday's.

  in the foreword of ray franz's book 'in search of christian freedom', he says: .

  "there is yet another, very significant, side to the matter.

  many persons seek only a negative freedom.

  great post razorblade!
  
  We can be flippant, urging everyone to 'get on with it', 'get past it'. Yup, that's great. Easy, over and done with. Then we have people who are questioning the organization, or, are in the process of exiting it, or are leaving it without question. What do we do with them?
  .
  exactly......I find the site very informative and helpful, it has opened my eyes to a lot of what goes on behind the scenes.

  i knew this was coming.

  mom's been going back to the kingdom hall for about a year now, and i figured that, much like my father, i would have to cut off all contact with her at some point.

  it looks like now might be that time.

  Being too picky>>>

  arrrrgh, ive been labelled by many as too picky.

  this ever happen to you guys?> it is known that most of us humans will never meet the 'right' person for us, or perfect, if u will.

  for example, i might meet this good looking chick, and she wants to have sex immediately, and im not into that - first, takes away the mystery and second, whose to say she wouldnt do it the following night with some other stranger?
