loved it!
it's not just a boy movie (action, angelina...), it has a good story.. also, if you've seen it, i'd like your comments on how it relates to the wt.
i saw some strange similarities.
Well, remember Common said "F--k The Code." But it was Angelina who fired the curved-bullet shot ... which also ended up ... you know.
I absolutely LOVED THE MOVIE. I felt (like many others) that even though it was obviously slightly ever so a rip-off of the Matrix, Equilibrium and Fight Club it was done with GREAT TASTE. They never copied so much of an entire scene/thought pattern so much that it felt like watching Matrix IV.
Did I say I LOVED IT! Yes, I will be going a second time.

i notice a quite a few threads so far about the keep yourself in gods love publication which the jws will begin studying starting 2009. this therefore, it would seem, would be the more important of the two our assembly in our part of la will not be starting until late august ... .
is there or can we start up a discussion on fridays symposium - "young people walk with holy spirt.
i heard from several members that there would be a young people ask answers that work volume 2 publication ... so was this true and what ?.

credit goes to jw freak for bringing out that "young people ask , answers that work vol 2" will be coming out this dc.

we all know how hard it is, usually, for those rasied in the truth to readjust "outside in the world" once they leave ... so not to undermine them (esp.
for those who came in later in life - regardless of how many times from the podium you were instructed not to "leave the love you had at first" many of you are here because you found out the "truth about the truth" whether it was the people or doctrine or combination ... and were willing to open your mind, realize the "truth about the truth" and leave.
not to undermine all those years and mind numbing propaganda you endured in the jw's, but i have always felt: .
We ALL KNOW how hard it is, usually, for those rasied in the truth to readjust "outside in the world" once they leave ... so not to undermine them (esp. because I am one of them ) but this thread is not another one of them. The title says it all.

Not to undermine all those years and mind numbing propaganda you endured in the JW's, but I have always felt:
Witnesses who "come from the world" (ie those who came in later in life and esp. not those raised in) have a MUCH easier transition to "go right back" out "into the world".
1) You luckily were NOT RAISED IN and therefore escaped the JW conditioning during the formidable youth years (K-12) when Witnesses kids come under extra scrutiny to live up to the model. Sometimes to the point of breaking them. I even see this with my extended cousin who "came in" at 24. She is very confident and self aware than virtually all the other girls in my hall ... (more on that in a later thread).
2) Unless you still have family now inside you have no reason to stay
3) Well ... to rehash again ... you came from "the world" so all you have to do (I am being an ass and assuming) is "reboot" your mindset to before you got that first knock on the door. I know it isnt THAT easy (or maybe it is) but just forget JW style thinking. Think and act how you were rasied before you became a JW. Now you know its all fake simply go back to being about self and those close to you others, go back to not being so JW passive-agressive-nice-guy-or-gal, go back disliking agendas or policies that you used to because you have every right to (as long as it isnt racist or stupid) ... go right back to ... you get the picture.
What do you think?
i've noticed that jws tend to shy away from debates.
when brought on the table for a debate, they don't debate, but rather preach to others instead.
i liken this to how a lot of fake martial arts schools teach their students.
HEY you got something against McDonalds
... just kidding your point was excelent and ON POINT!
i feel a jc is coming for me soon.
here is just a snippet of some of my missed opportunities (girl's names have been abbreivaited for obvious reasons):.
9th grade cm, 10th grade gk, 11th grade - gj.
I feel a JC is coming for me soon. Aside from outing myself several times and no longer believing anything about this dangerous cult here’s really why … Girls and Sex
Here is just a snippet of some of my Missed Opportunities (Girl's Names Have Been Abbreivaited for Obvious Reasons):
9th Grade – CM, 10th Grade – GK, 11th Grade - GJ
All through out HS I have had oportunites to engage in "immoral conduct" I have had 4 "sure chances." Now I dont mean to sound overly proud or bragging to any of the female members here but I sincerly feel that, if I had shown ANY serious signs (like a non JW boy my age would have done) back towards them it would have definitely resulted in “something.” These women are truly and respectfully missed chances in my life.
Then in 12th grade right before I was about to graduate I had this girl that really wanted me ... grabbing on me in class when the teacher left the room ... yes like that.
STUPID, STUPID, STUPID F'ING ME – Being raised in the dubs I was 100% dubbed at the time trying to live up to "the model" the very best I could. So I did. I had no idea at them time that my other JW classmates were SO not. I now know some were laughing at me behind my back for trying to do what I sincerly thought was right. Like the f’ing JW moron I was at the time I decided to pass up on all of these girls ...
To make a potentially very long story short there is a new girl at my job who is, I believe, at least somewhat very interested in me. She goes out of here way to talk to me and is giving me, in PUA terms, serious IOI's. If the opportunity is there for something more I will step this time ... I hope I dont screw it up
No need to rehash old posts. Everyone here knows that BBOARD is (somewhat) mentally out of the JW. I know it to be a cult. I could care less if I lost all my privlages and was DA tomorrow
… However, as mentioned before, I do care about my good-standing a lot because my whole family is in.
Here’s where it gets very, very tricky.
I have started to hang around so-called “worldly people” on my job. It is right now one of the few places I can do so.
The MAIN THING I am worried about is the body language and signs that I may give off once I become more confident and relaxed (esp. around women). You see my whole family is from “the streets” of some ‘hood … except me. I was as you know raised with a tight grip. You know I think they went extra hard on me because of their background not in spite of it. This has also been a main reason I feel lacked a edge of confidence. I don’t have the swagger, body language or “look” that any of them do ... and they all know it.
My second Aunt Ms./Sister BM is, although somewhat a hard line JW, is VERY street shrewd and can read people well esp. since she was raised in the “mean streets” DC during the crack epidemic. She knows, or she must know, that I have been VERY shy around females (and just people in general) and that I am most likely (due to conversation and BL) a virgin still at 21. In many ways I still act very young. Heck I look young. Most people think I am around 14-17 ... and if you guys saw me in person you would probably too.
My Aunt Has verbally given me strict orders to never:
a) Hang with wordly people ... she encourages get-togethes with fellow JW's who are strong in the "truth"
b) Leave the "truth" and make Jehovah's heart sad
c) Have sex before marrige (she even brought up the AIDS snippet in the recent JW Watchtower)
Now here is where the problem lies … If I started to act too confident all too soon esp. around women (and how could I not) she would know something was up … and I have no doubt whatsoever that if she thought I was up to anything at all it would go straight to the Elders in 0 sec. flat ... know why? That’s right her hub is the PO of my Kingdom Hall ... who just happens to be my hard-ass UNCLE I would be busted for SURE.
What do you think?
my son asked a jw girl if she would go to the prom with him and she flat out said no!
what the hell jw cant go to prom.
where can i find more on this?
Ohhh hate to say this but this girl may have placed your son in the "Friend Zone" without him knowing it. She, may, feel no attraction for him and that could be a possible reason she decline the prom.
how many "jw induced" grown males (or females) did you know that were emotionally, physically, and/or sexually repressed due to their years in the jw's ... espically those "raised in" the "truth"?.
(this isnt a thread to center on slighting others or their actions because of their jw emotion stunting ... but you can bash hard on them for other things ... hehe) .
