  i am very angry.

  i visited the active talk site tonight, identified myself as restrangled as most of you know who i am, and skally referred to me as "the dog".

  i have been a member for just about 2 years, contributed cash to those in need without question, supported those in any way i could and my husband has done the same.. i am beyond hurt..i.thought myself and my husband had supported your cause......to be called "the dog" by one one of your most prominent members lets me know we don't count for squat no matter what we do...much like the witnesses.. thanks skally...you made my day today.. r.. .

  The 'active talk site' is a chat room - gabbly.com - no big deal, not a very sophisticated chat room either ... not nearly as fun as the old JWD chat used to be.

  I adore Chomsky. The truth is sometimes painful to hear ... or read .... but thankfully there remain great minds amongst us attempting to provide enlightenment. N. Chomsky's insights on the illusion of corporate america and the fabricated *un*reality it represents are stellar, and some of my favorites to read. Yeah, yeah the *marxist* ... *commie*....and *traitor* accusations are familiar barbs which fail to pierce.

  1. Skally is NOT a troll (contrary to easily rendered remarks here and elsewhere)
  2. Why would you paint this entire site and its membership according to what one poster said?
  3. Is there any possibility that she was identifying you with your Avatar?
  4. Again, refer to 2.
  5. If you have been here over 2 years and THIS is what you measure your worth by ... the random words of one poster vs. all the contributions you cite and countless others must obviously know to be true, then I suggest you re-evaluate.
  
  6, and MOST Importantly: I ascribe to the Four Agreements, one important component of which is "Don't Take Anything Personally" ... the premise of this tenet is
  
  Don't Take Anything Personally
  Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering. I recommend this small book and its contents highly, here is a link http://www.miguelruiz.com/fouragreements.html

  Well, Trev is ill now!

  by iamfreenow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at least i don't think so.. he has a flu-like illness and feels pretty awful.

  by his own admission, he's been neglecting himself these last few months, and i think with all the stres he's been under that perhaps his immune system is very low.

  he looks pretty awful as well, like he's had all the blood drained out of him.. even so, he was going to get on with the things he needs to do today, at least until i intervened.

  One really needs a true friend or 2 in times like these. Many years ago when my husband died, I had a dear friend who literally came and set up housekeeping in my home. I was still *in* ... and there was a barrage of people calling, stopping in, etc. She shielded me from them, cooked and served visitors, and eventually took me in to her home and cared for me (I was preggers at the time). It is all such a blur now (many years later), but she was there for me like no other person in my life.

  In fact, I believe I owe her my life. at the minimum, my sanity.

  my point is, your kindness and friendship will be remembered for a long time and is definitely making a difference.

  danny you have been fearless in your exposing jws for the cult they are and the harm they have done and are doing.

  keep up the good work.

  but please be careful in what you do as this board and recovering xjws need people like you who are fearless in exposing the wt.

  Sorry Baba, I just can't agree. Might be a crime, dependent on where he lives. But a hate crime? I don't think the situation would qualify legally for that definition.

  Prisoners of the WT cult

  by Maddie in

  2. friends

  i wanted to research more on cults and the mind control techniques they use.

  if i had any doubts (which i haven't) that the wt uses these highly sophicated techniques, then i certainly wouldn't now!!!!!!.

  as we have had a thread asking why people don't leave the wt when they know that it has major flaws, i thought it would be beneficial to explore how powerful these methods of control are.

  Excellent information and updates. I confess that I am always surprised to hear so many XJWs continue to refer to the WTBTS as a religion ... like Lutherans or the like! This is very important knowledge to impart and in fact, IMO, acknowledging this difference (cult vs. religion) can be helpful to many who in looking back feel guilt regarding their participation in the system. Thank you for sharing.
