The Wave: A short movie about mind control
by neverendingjourney inthis is a very good short movie about how mind control works.
it's based on a true story of a high school teacher that started his own cultish student organization modeled after the nazis.
it's very easy to see the parallels with jws.

Now that sounds reasonable John Doe, the problem is they always slip in things that arent in the job description. Ever heard the old joke "that's not in my job description"?
There is a "perform other duties as assigned" clause in my job description; and it is fully taken advantaged of!

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

I knew a bethelite who I used to visit who worked in the graphics department. He was originally from Omaha, Nebraska. He had been at Bethel for over 10 years since I last talked to him. He looked just like Peter Sellers. I wonder if he is still there.

Just when you think the Bullshyte couldn't get any deeper. I thought C of C was an eyeopener but all of the stuff I learned here and what I have seen firsthand, C of C just barely scratches the surface. I hate this cult.

by dogon inwell i have moved, for real, i lived with my husband of 25 years only 3 miles from my mother and father.
it seems that most of the witnesses they preferred to associate with, have all been disfellowshipped or divorced, or separated.

Did You Know or Know Of "Straight" JWs???
by Ragnarökkr inwhile you were in the truth did you meet or know of any straight jw's.
i once met this brother who was married, that in itself was a dead give away, occassionally he would turn up in a brown suit smelling of very cheap aftershave (secret christmas pressie i bet)that was another clue.
anyway one day i found out this straight brother beat his wifde and kids, and regularly.

I knew of a single "brother" who never was seen with a woman who brought his kids with him to the KH. I never asked but Im pretty sure he was straight by his strut and all.

Unforseen Times and Bad Haircuts befall us all :S
by Elsewhere inwhen i go to get my hair cut, i have a series of very specific lengths that different parts of my hair are supposed to be cut.
today i went to new place and told the girl exactly what to do... this long here... that long there... watch out for the tricky cowlick over here... etc.... did she listen?
no.. instead she got this very intense look on her face and started going at it.
