  Read S. Hassan's Book: Do JW's really fit the cult mold?

  by simon17 in

  first time i got a chance to read his book, "combatting cult mind control" and was interested to see if jw's fell into the cult mold.

  my opinion after carefully reading and having left the witnesses after almost 30 years is... no, they don't.

  however, i would add that they wish they were but are simply too big and unwieldy to really pull it off.

  Did therapy help you?

  by gutted in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am considering going to a therapist.

  even though i believe i have gotten better and made some progress (it has been roughly a year since i stopped attending meetings, doing anything jw-wise), i still have a lot of negative self-talk which is hard to overcome, especially during off days like today.. i find the hardest things for me is low self-esteem and social interactions/anxiety.

  i'm sure some of you can sympathsize, and though i am not fully blaming my issues soley to my jw upbring (born-in) i know it compounded those issues.. .

  Would you/could you look at the pics of dead Osama Bin Laden?

  by Broken Promises in

  1. social
  2. current

  if, and i'm saying, if, the pics of osama were released, would you want to look at them?.

  do you think you could stomach the sight of a man with a bullet through the eye?.

  or would it be worth it just to prove once and for all that the terrorist king is dead?.

  JWs Not Allowed to Post on Websites?

  by StandFirm in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this seems to be a favorite topic to bring up to any witnesses who post on any website where there are any opposers, either here or topix or anywhere.. so, here is the one and only place i will be discussing it.

  who can prove that witnesses are specifically told not to post on websites about them?.

  on saturday, my ex husband went on the platform at the one day circuit assembly and slandered me in front of 800+ people.. my jw family is even up in arms because he basically lied and ruined any last bits of my reputation that i had left, the worst part is this was elder sanctioned.. i am really exhausted from all the upheaval so i will get right to the point.

  the following is what i sent to my mother:.

  hi mom.
