Yes, it's been known to happen, though never for no reason. Usually there's a moment of profound realization or empathy involved. Not always a sad thing. It's good to feel.

32Do you ever just start CRYING for apparently no reason?

Any born-ins have this attitude about converts?
by Nambo inso there was this great gang of us, from south london, manchester and wolverhampton, went to socialise with a group in fishguard in wales.. amongst the conversations one of the single sisters stated, "i could never marry anybody who used to be in the world".. i guess a lifetime of knocking on doors had given her the impression there couldnt possibly be a convert in her midst, never mind later alone with her in her mgb.. so whats with this, did you think we had rat scabies or were possesed by demons or something?.

Actually, as a dub kid, I kinda admired converts, those who chose the truth. They had seen the "other side" and had experience out in the "world". They weren't doing it because they didn't know anything else; they made a choice at least.
As for the fact such ones seemed a lower caste within the ranks was not right in my mind. If anything, they validated the "truth".
So much bs there in hindsight. Glad it's the past.

WT and the Illuminati - truth or fiction?
by SnowQueen ini've been reading around this subject of late and it seems to make a lot of sense.
i'm wondering if anyone is convinced and/or has seen anything that can substantiate or corroborate the 'facts' set out in these arguments.. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bloodlines/russell.htm.
i was particularly fascinated to read the following:.

"Your projection is stupid, boring, hypocritical and typically of crybabies. What else do you do except bitch? What else do you do except comiserate and try to recruit other crybabies? Get on with it and your life, if you really want one that you don't blame someone else for."
I totally agree with you.
Well at least we agree on this. Funny, I thought you had respect for conspiracy theory and it's adherents. So much more informed, enlightened and mature than the rest of us "sheeple", an example we all should emulate.

Well, after some thought, there is something to be said for CG in the post dub world.
I would agree with the thought that all mould their worldview to something that fits with their beliefs, to a degree.

I consider myself a skeptic rather than a cynic, but I've been called naive more than once on these threads. Simply for trusting that institutions generally operate under the mandate by which they were formed.
Sticks and stones. I tend not to take to heart those who call me down because they don't agree with me. It reflects more on their character than mine.

Do you think theres such a thing as a "normal person"
by londonlady ini was trying to think of all the many many people i've ever met and conculded that none of them could be termed "normal".
some of them might have seemed normal to start with but on further inspection most definatly not!.
in answer to the obvious question no i do not think i'm normal neither, i don't think i would want to be either.

What is normal depends on who you ask. And what you care about.

Let's Discuss Ray Franz's Books
by Recovery ini have been repeatedly pleaded with to read the books of ray franz in my short stay on this board.
apparently these are all the all-powerful, wt crushing arguments, that lead so many to leave jw's and become ruthless opposers of god's people.
we can discuss any claims/statements/scriptural arguments presented in either of his books, as long as it somehow proves jehovah's witnesses are not god's people.

To hell with Recovery and the OP, it's a waste of time. He/she already had their mind made up, obviously; the thread is just trolling
Those who wish honest and sincere answers do not put limitations on same.
The only decent thing here are the answers given to those who didn't ask for it.
