Yes, I myself came to the realization that Rense wasn't perhaps 100% accurate when I noticed articles on Bigfoot. Although, like I said, why not stay open minded. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

In my opinion the Simpsons is one of the greatest series of all time. To create two jokes in one, where adults can understand what the kids can't yet everybody still laughs, is a genius science. There have been so many funny moments, but who could forget Homer doing the daredevil stunt instead of Bart, and the ambulance crash which sent him back down the cliff !

Welcome Aussie, welcome to our board.
Well, you are amongst friends now.
You are obviously a stronger person than your boyfriend for resisting the Watchtower Society and their false promises. Of course the Witnesses would say that you will grow to understand them, because once your mind becomes indoctrinated with all the images of fire coming out of the sky and people dying on Judgment day because they are not Jehovah's Witnesses, an in-built survival mechanism will click on inside you without you even knowing it. These cult leaders are not stupid. They have had many years of perfecting mind control, and they know that a frightened mind is a suggestible mind.
Did you say that your boyfriend was raised a Witness? If this is so, then those images would have been so deeply ingrained into his mind that he will constantly recall them for the rest of his life. Obviously it happens to older people, but those who were raised as Witnesses clearly feel this more strongly - and those who were not raised in it can often escape. Since I was raised a JW, although I have not been for a few years, even today I have nightmares about Armageddon.
The fact is that your boyfriend is so far down the line now and has lapped up all the excuses that Witnesses give out about people who oppose them. But you have obviously broken this mold before it has managed to set, so congratulations on that. If you want my advice Aussie, I know this sounds very harsh and you obviously love him, but you must leave him and get out while you can. The Witnesses make robots of people who are consumers and advertisers of their product, and this is why your boyfriend has changed. He has shown a clear disregard for you by giving you that ultimatum. If he really loved you, why would he do that to you? Ask yourself, do you really want to spend the rest of your life with this guy? Take it from me and the people on here, a divided household where one is a Witness and the other is not just paves the way for disaster. I have been there done that, seen it happen.
Listen to your parents. Your parents have raised you, they love you more than anybody else in this whole world. Without them, you would not be possible. They know you more than anyone else. It seems such a foreign concept, to ditch somebody you love since it seems at the moment that he is the only one. But your parents are showing you these dangers, and they are using their own experience because they want what is best for their daughter.
Please understand that these are not the words of somebody just intent on destroying future followers of the WT. I have just seen it before, I know your road and have been down it.
I am always here so PM me at any time if you so wish, and good luck in your life.

Hi Godlovesme, thanks for stopping by. Interesting stuff about all the misery at Bethel - those people are just robots and pawns in a game they know nothing about. Long hours with little pay paves the way for workforce dismay.

I fail to see why I should not believe in something just because it is posted on a website which speaks of 'conspiracy theories'. I agree that I have read a lot of rubbish on Rense but I like to keep an open mind about things. You would never believe anything again if you applied this rule, you would just bin every newspaper, turn off every media outlet and go to bed with your fingers in your ears refusing to believe anything.
I am not denying Rense has some off the wall theories, but just like anything else, I will take the information, check it out and take it or throw it away - and that's the beauty of America, freedom of speech.

"I think that is why the bible said somewhere, not to go to bed angry, because what if we or they don't have tomorrow to say, "I love you, or I'm sorry."
This is why I cannot allow a person out of my sight without reconciling with them beforehand and letting them know that I love them. I could not live with myself if my last words to a loved one would be full of anger.

The Power of the Question: what most are missing
by Vernon Williams ini want to make a statement, and, if there is any interest, develope it a bit.. in the interactions one has with a jw, no matter what level in the org.
or what the topic is, this needs to be remembered: .
whomever controls the question controls all.. the jws are trained to control the result of the conversation through argument manipulation.

I completely agree. When I first came out of the org and began to debate with my former 'brothers', I noticed that I knew exactly what they were going to say before they said it. This is because I used to be in their shoes. With that in mind, I could be in complete control of the debate, choosing wisely which questions to ask.
I always find that if you quote a contradictory JW article or statement to a JW, ask them to tell you what they think it is trying to say. This way, the Leopard cannot change it's spots by saying 'well, they do not actually mean that'.
