Hi Dude, have you ever heard of cooking a frog in such a manor that he won't jump from the pot? Well all you do is put Kermit the frog in the water and turn the flame on so low it almost goes out, and in about three hours Kermit is cooked and ready to serve to the GB to use as they see fit; get my drift.

"Brainwashing" does not exist
by logansrun inthe term "brainwashing" is sometimes thrown around this forum and i thought i'd briefly comment on it.
the idea that a group or person can actually make you think, act and feel in a certain way is highly dubious.
i'm not saying it's impossible, but i highly doubt that any ex-jws have ever experienced "brainwashing.

I hated the pecking order they had concerning giving public talks, reading the watch tower, and all the rest.
As I think back to that time I see now that I got even, I was a real turd when I was 14 to 15 I hated going to meetings so bad I spent most of the time setting on the pot in the mens rest room doing unspeakable things, ha ha.

Who here still finds it hard to celebrate Christmas?
by dh ini was raised a jw and as i've probably said before, i left when i was around 18... i'll be 27 in a few days, and as i get older realise how i do not really know how to celebrate anything.
being raised a jw we never had xmas or birthdays (or any celebration), and since none of the friends i had when i left the jw's were christian either, i have to this day never celebrated it... i am not christian and will openly admit that i couldn't care less about the religious side of christmas, but what i see around me, everywhere in the world are people who aren't really christian either, celebrating christmas, either for kids or friends or whatever, but i've never done that or had anyone around me to do that with... people look forward to this time of year so much, they buzz and rush around like it's a real event, and to this day i've never been able to feel that way.
most of my christmas/birthdays since leaving jw's have been spent by myself, completely devoid of celebration, i want to get into that feel good spirit, but i don't know how, and if i try to fake it, i know it is fake.

by melmac insource: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3072021.stm .
men could reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer through regular masturbation, researchers suggest.

Most kids feel like two cents because of up-bringing or religioin or what ever to squeeze one off as the need may arise.
My new wife is so understanding, she tells me to go and get the "poison out", besides I get blue ball and that hurts. My ex-wife who was raised a witness told me: if I ever! done it and she caught me she would devorce me saying it that its the same as adultrey as far as she was concerned.
Happy days are here again, let the flood gates of heaven be opened.

Its weird how so many people don't become alarmed when they hear and read as well as see that they have to be "Ready to obey". Like ding ding ding wake up and smell the cat food.
It disgusts me how they the GB place them selfs in gods place or at the very least lead you to belive they are second in command. You notice how not once do they say in the title of the program segments that its Jehovah that you should obey as far as "our" understanding, no but they lead you to belive that its the GB you better dance the beat too.

Yeah I like them, I have one that stays on my back in bed till I kick her off then she scratchs me a good one. As for cleaning her cat box out I hate it, but I use that good scoopable stuff cause it causes all the scat to ball up so I can lift it with a scooper. Enough said.

What have you done to counteract the 'cult of Jehovah's witnesses?'
by AK - Jeff ini know that many here would place jehovah's witnesses on a list of 'cults'.
personally i don't think they meet all the standard definition - but would class them as an 'authoritarian sectarian movement'.
at any rate, most of us would not want our neighbors to get caught up in the mind-twisting that we endured and from which we finally removed ourselves.. that said - have any engaged in successfull enterprises to counter the movement?

Basicly not being afraid of telling them" what I think for a change! I used to be scared that the earth would open up and swallow me up or some dum thing like the pictures I seen as a kid.
