  by COLLINS in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  please i need a direct link to the watchtower online library and not a link that tells me to download, because i don't have any disc to download them.

  and leet and wifibandit sent some links in my thread but those links are asking for a flash drive or a disc and i don't have any of them.

  i wish anyone in the forum can send a direct link that when i click it i am going to start reading the past watchtowers and awake magazines immediately please.

  With all due respect, I think the money could have been better spent elsewhere.

  I realize that the title I chose was not the best. It gives people a different impression about my thread. I wanted to edit it but that can't be done with titles.

  I am not a fan of the "perception is reality" view. It might seem real to all of us but there is an entire universe out there that doesn't need our permission to exist. The cult of modern Conservatism is an example.

  Do you think the JW organization breed narcissistic personality?

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why not, the organization is never wrong, therefore if you are part of the organization.

  you are never wrong.

  if there's a problem it's satan, not the brothers.

  No.

  No single organization of any type "breeds" narcissism. Narcissists are born that way but they do accumulate into positions of power in any authoritarian organization be it government, corporate or religious. Positions of power act like a magnet for that type of person.

  It could be tricky to confuse cause and effect. While the religion might cause anxiety it also attracts people that are already pre-disposed to mental illness. That would create a vicious feed back loop.

  Ray Franz and You.

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if ray franz would have kept his mouth shut and not disfellowshipped, and remained part of the governing body how many of us ex-jw would still be trapped in the cult?.

  would we have come this far?.

  Finkelstein:

  "Ray had no significance on my leaving the JWS, its was my own instinct and personal integrity that drew myself out.

  "Pre inter net I might add."

  Same here but I was df'd for apostasy around the same time he was and the book that he wrote later on did have an impact on me emotionally confirming what I already knew.

  umbertoecho:

  "One thing I vividly recall was being told that my sorrow over the recent death of my youngest daughter, was in fact showing a lack of faith in the resurrection."

  What did those morons want you to do...hop, skip and dance for joy? Pathetic.
