  Mad Sweeney, I have to congratulate you on getting Steve on your show.

  A couple of points Steve made that I think are worth highlighting:

  The achilles heel of cults: there are thousands of other groups that think they are the only 'truth' and look down on JWs as a cult. What makes JWs different? JWs need to be able to see their organization from this perspective.

  Steve also stated that whilst debating doctrine is usually not productive, discussing flip flops and discrepancies in the organization's history can be useful, depending on the individual you are trying to reach.

  I finally drove off my wonderful jw wife...and i am so sad..

  i helped her move out this weekend so i must be a masochist too...so on top of losing every friend in my life...i have now lost my wife...and yes i asked her to leave on more than one occasion this year...we have argued for nearly five years about wt crap...nothing i could ever say would make her question anything!!!!

  it was beyond frustrating...then this spring when i somehow disassociated myself and even lost my parents i knew i would never have a normal marriage no matter what...all i wanted was a normal marriage with mutual friends...that is off the table as long as she is a jw...but why could i not accept it???

  why could i not shut up???

  ((Oompa))

  This situation puts so much pressure on a marriage. If anyone else is going through this, watch this experience of an ex mormon couple:

  I would use the term 'fundamentalist atheist' to describe those atheists who are intolerant of other people's religious beliefs and conclude they cannot be rational or intelligent.

  I have nothing against atheists in general. Or Christians. I do have an issue with bigots.

  do you actually belive psychotherapy works or are you like the health insurance industry who belive it's not worth paying for.

  where did steven hasaan get his doctorate and how many years has he worked in a mental hospital and what is his pioneering research with the brain and mind?

  is he a neuroscientist-psychiatrist?

  So... I got the 607 defense articles sent to me...

  by i_drank_the_wine in

  1. jw

  ...by a family member who recalled that this is one of my major apostate beefs.

  the articles themselves are disgusting pieces of mis-information and require some serious mental gymnastics to actually believe.

  however, they're so damn long-winded and waste so much time on pointless stuff like the 2 pages on the jw's beliefs about the 70 year period, that i am debating on whether or not to write the loyal j-dub family member back on it or not.. it shows just how brainwashed that family member is in that they know that 607 is a problem date, yet happily forward the articles as soem sort of proof while never once reading anything on the topic with an iota of thinking.. after years of having everything i've said on these topics ignored by everyone in my family that i've tried contacting over and over again, i really feel like taking the time to pick through their trash is going to be a big waste.

  congregations that are disbanded?

  how many times it has happened?

  not counting the congregations that are disbanded due to low activity, but the ones that are disbanded because they are out of control?.

  How Steve Hassan could write a book which so accurately describes how the Watchtower operates without knowing anything about them is what the buzz is about.

  I wonder whether somewhere on the internet, there is a forum of people who have exited political cults debating whether Steve is republican, democrat or otherwise and whether he votes. Equally irrelevant.

  If Steve was a fundy I would be concerned, but he is not. By the way, I would be equally concerned if he was a fundamentalist atheist, in common with many on this forum.
