so last night i was having a wonderful meal in a very nice restaurant when we heard what we thought was a loud clap of thunder.................. it was a bomb.

yards from my hotel.

thankfully i made a few decision that meant i wasn't in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So it just appeared on the news in Germany that another bomb has gone off in Bangkok.

Well one thing for sure, if I was there, I would now get the next plane out of there.

Tight pants again.

by Driving Force in

just a short observation from several in the congregation.

it's only hearsay because i do not go to meetings, and this is what i have been told.. the co wore tight pants in the ministry and on the platform.

as one sister said, "you could see everything".. but like i said its hearsay, i never saw it, but i did have a giggle..

Driving Force

Oh yes, these are worn in Europe. I have a pair, look great in them with my beer belly.

I just heard, that I am not allowed to go to the congregation meeting because I drink too much Whiskey.

I fell over laughing.

It is really pitiful, that they try to put others in a bad light to make themselves look good.

I believe that the greater percentage of JWs-You Will Not Be Able to Help, no Matter What Facts You Show Them.

by John Aquila in

so i ran into this brother whom ive known for a while and the conversation led into me being invited to come back to the kingdom hall.

we talked for about an hour during which time i explained to him 607 being the wrong date and a lot of other stuff including the child abuse cases in australia.

but what i wanted to relate was the last few minutes of our conversation.

I became a JW because I honestly believed what I was taught, that was in the 80s, there was not Internet to research things then. All the years up until the end of last year I did not consider it necessary to research anything, because the indoctrination is such that one does not need to research these things because the Watchtower does it for you and presents you with the truth. So that's the indoctrination and you believe it.

When, after researching a non-doctrinal aspect of JWs, how much money they have, I stumbled on the Candece Conti case, that was the first domino. The facts about the Watchtower and its toxic teachings hit me thereafter like being constantly kicked in the balls.

As it is very unpleasant to be kicked in the balls, that could be the reason why the facts do not affect JWs, because they are protecting their balls. This protection mechanism is call Cognitive Dissonance (CD), every single person alive is affected in one way or another by this, to deny that is proof in itself. CD is not a disease or an illness, it is a protection mechanism that everybody has, it can be beneficial, but in the case of being and staying in a cult as with JWs it is certainly not. Understanding the mechanisms of CD is an aid in releasing the bonds of the cult.

A piece of string went into a pub and asked for a beer.

The barkeeper asked, "Are you a piece of string?"

"yes" said the piece of string.

The barkeeper looked at him sternly and said, "F*** off, we don't serve pieces of string here". So off he wiggled to the next pub.

He went up to the bar and kindly requested a beer.

The barkeeper looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Are you a piece of string?", "yes" was the reply.

"Then piss off, pieces of string are not allowed in here." So off he wiggled out of the pub.

He was wiggling along the road and he stopped at the corner of a building, he tangled himself up into a knot and rub himself against the corner of the building until he was straggled at the edges.

He wiggled his way to the next pub, went up to the bar and asked for a beer.

The barkeeper looked at him and asked, "Are you a piece of string?"

"No, I'm a frayed knot".
