good for you. pregnant or not ( but especially because). I've never looked at it that way, (but of course who was allowed to think) it is very selfish to put other people at risk like that, some people can't afford to miss work/take care of kids. poor bastard so indoctrinated he has to feel guilty about being sick. maybe now he will think twice before making an appearance. i wonder if he went to work like that?

Nov 5 Dr. Phil - Cult Mind Control - WATCH TONIGHT!
by still_in74 inwednesday - november 5, 2008mind control?its hard to believe, but in america alone, there may be as many as 5,000 religious groups preying upon the weak and vulnerable, and all in the name of god.
dr. phils guests have warnings for you and your children.
seeta says when her 18-year-old daughter joined a religious group called 1 mind ministries, she left home with her 7-month-old son and never returned.

some months ago i had written on Dr. Phil's website about JWs, but of course because of family circumstances would not reveal my name or want to be interviewed.
hopefully if he got a few comments like this we might get a mention

Did you ever feel as if you were socially handicapped as a Witness?
by Hiddenwindow insome of my friends claim that growing up as witnesses was a normal experience, in the sense that they did not miss celebrating hollidays or associating with wordly people.
these friends are witnesses in good standing, therefore, i doubt their sincerity and feel that they just do not want to go agaist the party line.
in my case, since i always had the desire to participate in extracurricular activities in school (and did when i could), always felt actracted to politics and art, it was very hard.

I never felt good enough to be friends with other witness kids and was to different and afraid to be with friends with "worldly" kids. I spent a great part of my childhood alone. I am inept socially. When I take my 8 year old to hockey and am with the other parents I feel like I am in high school all over again. Even though my whole belief system has changed, my emotional being is forever scarred and my social life would be a disaster, if I weren't married, my hubby is my support.
25 years as a witness really screws you up.
on a happy note, i can remember my first birthday cake, because I ate it this past weekend, it only took 38 years and my loving hubby to get one.

it's just easier to package people up and put a label on them. makes for easier judging

Survival of Human Consciousness Beyond Death
by Rapunzel into anyone's knowledge, has there been any scientific research into the question of whether human consciousness can survive beyond death?
i am referring to research studies conducted by neurologists, neuro-biologists, and neuro-physiologists.
as far as i know, reputable scientific studies feature such factors as control groups.

Is it Feasible to File a Lawsuit against WBTS
by KW13 infor the damage that they've done to me as an individual, discouraged from taking school seriously, to forget the idea of college as it wouldnt and certainly never dream of working in this system, afterall the new order will be here by then.... the impact this religion has had on me has left me with some things that i will never get rid of, they are that deeply buried in me and i'm not saying i'm not coping or that i'm really unhappy but life in some areas is just damaged.
everything from me personally to my relationship with my mum.. so...am i being foolish or would i be doing the right thing?
i am not saying i want money, more recognition of what happened you know?.

last year was the first time I celebrated christmas with my kids (luckily they are all still very young and haven't missed much yet) so my JW mom gave me a hard time about it. And you know what that is exactly what I told her "you always said, i don't need a special occasion to give my kids gifts, but you never ever even gave me one all those years"
it never changes - they just parrot what they are told at the KH and never give any thought to ANYTHING! what a bunch of robots
