  When You See a JW Do You Get Flustered?

  by minimus in

  i used to dread seeing a witness coming toward me.

  now i am quite comfortable and hope that they may say something to me..... does your blood pressure rise when you see a jw coming toward you?

  ?.

  I used to get anxious for about the first year I was out in case they asked me why we left. Not anymore.

  Why more highly educated people are less into conspiracy theories

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've seen discussions here about how jehovah's witnesses seem to be prone to believing conspiracy theories... https://digest.bps.org.uk/2017/04/05/why-more-highly-educated-people-are-less-into-conspiracy-theories/.

  this last paragraph seems particularly relevant:.

  importantly, van prooijen said his findings help make sense of why education can contribute to “a less paranoid society” even when conspiracy theories are not explicitly challenged.

  This last paragraph seems particularly relevant:

  Importantly, Van Prooijen said his findings help make sense of why education can contribute to “a less paranoid society” even when conspiracy theories are not explicitly challenged. “By teaching children analytic thinking skills along with the insight that societal problems often have no simple solutions, by stimulating a sense of control, and by promoting a sense that one is a valued member of society, education is likely to install the mental tools that are needed to approach far-fetched conspiracy theories with a healthy dose of skepticism.”

  message from designer stubble to the former jwr members.

  first of all i am glad to see that many of you have found your way to this great forum, facilitated by simon.

  i am sure that after the dust of the jwr shutdown has settled, you will find this to be a good new home.. i would like to apologize for the sudden closure of jwr.

  i really hate all these "what if" posts

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  all these hypothetical questions about the organization's demise or what if god did this or that don't do anyone any good.

  personal experiences.

  info and insight about your congregation, circuit, area and the watchtower itself is what we need.

  There are new people arriving here all the time who need to have these conversations. If you're not interested in covering what is old ground to you then just ignore the post.

  I've probably spent £30 on Steve's books. CCMC convinced me I had been raised in a cult. The second book helped me get family members out. I've met him and he seemed a genuine guy.
