How many on this board remember the "Make Sure of All things......" book? Could someone post the chapter on Chronology. My wife threw mine away years ago. (instructions from Brooklyn)

.

i was born into it, and had a rough ride getting out, not much fun growing up having little respect (didn't want to use the hate word) for your parents/family.. i can honestly say my parents had no idea how life works, as is the case for most jw's.. how did you get stuck in it, and how long did it take you to finally walk away (or still trying to) ???

(took me years)

I became a good actor. I also developed a good radar.

JW's - Zeal Without Knowledge?

by Trotafox in

hm-m-m-m-m-m. found this article.

the following is for those of us on the board who are ex-jw and still christian (i just know you ex-jw ex-christians are chompin' at the bit...i can feel it through my computer...okay, okay; you can comment).

anyway, i found this to be quite interesting.

Most of the Witnesses don't have the zeal that is commonly thought of by traditional definition. Most have a desire to please the higher ups or are intimidated by the organization thing or even ego. All one has to do is to engage in a conversation for a short period of time and ask questions about ones activety and listen to not what the person says but how they say it.

Labeling - generalizations - my struggle today

by Billygoat in

why is there a basic human need to categorize people?

one is a jw or not.

athiest, agnostic, christian, or wiccan.

mann377

The mind works through association with groups of things. You can test this by asking people to remember a group of numbers individually or in groups. For example ask a group of people to remember the numbers 3-5-7-9-4-1-8-2 or 35-79-41-82. This goes for all things that we come in contact with. For some this might be an annoying and for others a blessing. Association with good or bad is where one can go wrong when thinking of some person, idea or group.
