May we save and make copies for personal distribution? Found it very good for a JW possibly wanting to see things in a different light, and help them see the control they are under. I must agree with others on the thread that our mind set has been programmed and it is easy for some to just change masters. However excellant read, and would like to know if it may be reproduced if not in whole, in part for personal files. Thanks.

Excellent article on WT mind control!
by truth_about_the_truth injehovah's witnesses .
if you are one of jehovah's witnesses your mind is being controlled by someone else without your knowledge.
mind control - what is it?.

Have a beer before, at least 5 pints during, and as they leave say your "just of to the pub", that should do the trick.

Should dubs sun-bathe?
by bother_forever inso smoking cigs is a drug, yea like caffine (saw this posted somewhere recently), so then they say, its a defilement, and cause cancer etc.
by this method of thinking, is it also wrong to deliberatly sun-bathe, knowing full well its dangerous (especially here in australia, lots of skin cancers from it) and possibly not showing respect for "the sanctity of life"?.
someone asked me this while i was still a dub, i think it helped put a dent in the old "faith" bridge.

you mean you wasn't wearing your "apostate lapel card" for all to see? What a place to be in at that time, lol, expect the tips were well down that night also. They need the alcohol to stiffen the resolve for another day of of repetitive brain washing.

Those wrong illustrations
by DannyBloem inthe jw literature likes so much illustrations.
some are really wrong.
for example the following illustration:.

I think the illustrations fell into several catorgries, 1, The Fear pics - Armageddon, buildings falling down, burning, running scared people etc, 2, The Paradise pics - lots of blue sky, animals, happy looking drones etc, 3, Death and Resurection pics - could also include the silly time lines of a person ageing in this section, 4, Prophetic pics and date diagrams - like the tree being chopped down and 607 = 1914 pic in live forever book, also all the trippy pics in Rev book (I 'd love some of what those artists were on). I think thats generally it, but im sure there are a few catorgries I've forgotton. All the illustrations were wrong.

The Irony never ceases...Analysis of the "Daniel" Book
by riotgirlpeeps inthe latest book being studied in book study is the pay attention to daniel's prophecy book published by the org in 1999. the following is paragraph 31 on page 29. even this testimony is not enough for many bible critics.
after considering this subject thoroughly, one cannot help but wonder if any amount of evidence would be enough to convince them.
one professor at oxford university wrote: nothing is gained by a mere answer to objections, so long as the original prejudice, there cannot be a supernatural prophecy, remains.

Ridiculous Analogy by a Simpleton Elder (CHOCOLATE CAKE/ALCOHOLISM)
by GetBusyLiving inan old witness friend of mine had a serious drinking problem and went to an elder in his hall for some help.
the elder tried to console him and told him that he could understand what he was going through.
he said "i have an addiction too you know - chocolate cake.

Thats such a typical response from them, instead of listening they like to tell you about themselves. Sorry to hear about your friends subsequent fall into drugs and alcohol, and ultimate death. Good point about the trained clergy.

Congrats!, maybe this is just the start of what should be a great relationship for you both, just take things slowly and never attack his beliefs. I know where your coming from, it is wiered if you dont understand the JW mind. Good luck to ya.
