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

How did you stuck in the JW borg ???????
by run dont walk in.
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)

JW's - Zeal Without Knowledge?
by Trotafox inhm-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.

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.

interesting parallel
by mann377 ini just was watching the news about the war in iraq.
it appears that troops loyal to saddam are shooting prople that are leaving the cities for water and food.
this sounds just like people who would leave an organization for reasons of consicence or need and be df or da by the loyal elders of the wtbs.

The troops were using women and children as human shields which is not unlike a dub on the front lines of spirtual warfare. Give me your thoughts on this if you agree.

Has anyone heard about the new residence building the WTBS wants to build in Brooklyn? It is supose to hold 2,000 people. I thought the WTBS was sending many Bethelites home because of no work. I read about this on the New York Times web site, check local news and type in Jehovah's Witness.

Kingdom Hall over 200 miles away
by JH inhere in canada, there are people working in areas up north where kingdom halls are hundreds of miles away.
how can a witness attend a meeting, if there are no kingdom halls around him?
that just proves how stupid it is to think that just jw will be saved.
