Why some cults may be healthy
by Mr Facts infor your information, not all cults are destructive as may be generally assumed.
as a therapist, i will list the folowing points as reasons why some cults may be healthy, especially the jw organisation.. 1) their stand on material prosperity shields their members from unnecessary worries of life.
their constant emphasis on simple life prevents you from entering into debt-imposed problems safeguarding you from the possibilities of sleepless night, financial stress and the rest .. 2) their behavioural control mechanism helps to constantly keep your lives in checks and balance by injecting sanity into your conscious being.. 3) reporting you deviant thoughts, feelings, and actions to leaders helps to coordinate your life and brings it in conformity to impeccable manners(the desire of every sane human mammal).. 4) their extensive use of cult generated information and propaganda constantly triggers your consciousness for the need to do things right (a positive reinforcement).. 5) their ethical use of confession makes you see that the universe cares for you and you are not alone in the grand scheme of things.. 6) their loaded languages offers you feelings of belonging, which we all aspire in a secluded and socially quarantined world.. .

my crazy Italian roommate
by Dogpatch inangelo is an accomplished surfer, a part-time womanizer (aren't all italians?
), and one of the most honest and intelligent attorneys you will ever find.
he was on the bar in florida before he moved in here about 12 years ago, joining the five of us renting a big old house built in 1934 (and never renovated).

Sounds like we could be seeing a TV series soon "Angelo's Law" base on a public defender living in Manhattan Beach with 5 other people one being an ex JW. It could be a weekly hour crime drama where the 5 others living with Angelo help him find the real criminal and get his client off.

Known Pedophile takes young boy to bathroom at circuit assembly....WTF?
by QuestioningEverything inmy mil's circuit assembly was this past weekend.
she came over for dinner to our home after the assembly.
in conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference!

My MIL said she just "prayed to jehovah to be able to pay attention to the brother's talk and not worry about seeing him walk with that little boy.
This is a perfect example of the blinders JW's are programmed to put on.
All of us wore those blinders to some degree or another.

My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

Something about the end of the current system of things they can't pony up to...
by okage in1975 was approaching and for years the society demanded the belief that god instructed these men of bethel to declare 1975 as the date for the end.
they talked about it in conventions.
they supported it in many of their publications.

"Do you still feel Jehovah is directing the Organization?"
by outsmartthesystem infor those of you with experience being asked this question.....or those of you that are/were elders........ what would happen if you responded to that question by saying "i don't know"?.
what would happen if you responded with "i choose not to answer that question."?
and then when they ask why, you say "because i wish to invoke my 5th amendment rights".

I would say, "Jehovah is definitley directing the Organization"
Then I would think to myself:
Jehovah is a concept that the organization excepts and they follow the Bible that Jehovah supposedly had written and they percieve these writings in their own way. They in fact allow themselves to be directed by their conceptual god jehovah.
