how would you explain mind control within the wbts to a person who has never been a jw?
how do you explain that inteligent people can fall prey to the jw message?
no one wakes up in the morning saying "today i'm going to join a cult!
Thanks deadpoet. I was starting to think that I was the only one o the forum.
My parents started their study after immigrating to SA. They had no friends here and no support system. I can fully understand why becoming a JW with instant friends was apealing at the time. After almost 30 years in the WBTS they are fully intergrated JWs.

Hello. Is anyone here?
humans are naturally curious creatures.
we learn from experience better than words.
so with the internet in almost every witness home, and the society constantly harping on people to avoid it, how many do you think have at least checked it out?
I think it's human nature to want to know more about something you are involved in. I would guess that most JW with private internet access will at some stage take a peek. I feel that the younger generation will most likely be less afraid of the WBTS warning about the net.

No one wakes up in the morning saying "Today I'm going to join a cult!" I sometimes feel so stupid for believing their @#$%*!! for so many years.
i joined this forum on 1may2007 with a promise that i would tell more about myself as time went on.
well, here goes.. i was born and raised in the black belt of alabama in wilcox county.
it is supposedly called the black belt due to the color of the soil, but i have a strong suspicion it is also due to the fact that there is such a heavy concentration of black people in the dozen or more counties that make up the black belt.. my parents were sharecroppers which was simply a form of whitewashed slavery.
Hi Snowbird
I loved your style of story telling, wish you had made the story a bit longer! Thanks for sharing.
it's been a long time since i posted here but i often read your messages when ian (dansk) logs on.
as most of you will know, ian will be going back into hospital on monday for an allogeneic stem cell transplant and will be away from the forum for a good few weeks (hopefully he'll be back home within 4-6 weeks).
last time he was in hospital many of you sent messages to his ward and i know they cheered him up immensely.
bttt
Any news?

Lots of hugs and kisses Ian & Claire.
Ian, don't let the doctors use those tongue depressers on you. Hospital is bad enough. You don't want a depressed tongue as well.
after a month + without internet, i am back.
my antenna was fried by lightning, and it took a month+ to get it fixed.
i sure missed you all.
Welcome home! You have a lot of catching up to do.
i was camping this weekend with some friends and around the camp fire the subject came up, "what is something weird you like to eat?
" i thought it was a fun subject and we all had some laughs over our odd appetites.. some of mine .... i love bologna with american cheese and miracle whip (the only thing i will use miracle whip with).
i love the taste of straight pickle juice or hot pepper juice.
Calamari is not a strange food in South Africa. You can get it at the super market!
oh another day in paradise....lemme see, what year is it now?
oh i remember it's 2000 a.a. (after armageddon).. it's 27 degrees celcius - again.
blue skies - again.
Oh how I wish it was the first few years of life in the paradise again. Remember we had to clean up the earth cause those wordly people had messed it up so much. We had to get rid of their stinking bodies, yuk. I never thought it would take so long to clean up. When we finally got the earth beautiful we had to fill it with perfect little babies. That was fun, perfect sex, who knew that the things we were not allowed to do before armageddon was part of perfect foreplay, that was a surprise! Ahh those were the days, but now the earth is full and sex has been disallowed by the GB.
