i listened in to the conf call tonight.

one thing that i got from it was that apparently (and the wording might be a little wrong) is that elders or ms will be removed if they are going to college or university.

a person encouraging another to go to college will be removed as well.

How the new "generation" study went down in the meeting today
by slimboyfat in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i made a big effort to get to the watchtower study today.

i have not been to the meetings much for months, but i figured this was a pretty historic "study" and i wanted to see reactions and how it would go down locally.

well a few things struck me as a bit odd in the study itself, and in the audience response as well.

by Pwned in
1. jw
2. friends
i know i don't post here that often but this just kind of blew me away.

my dad just "came out" recently as annointed and i find it so weird.

he's always been pretty level headed and he's been in for over 30 years.

Cold Reading and the supernatural
by Dogpatch in
1. jw
2. friends
i just finished doing a consultation with a woman who is still struggling with guilt and manipulation left over from the watchtower, and i introduced her to the concept of cold reading.

i think its good for people to understand this subject, something very important in exit-counseling, when people feel that a group or leader is right because they know so much that seems otherwise unknowable.

i thought i would share this article for some of you who aren't familiar with the subject.randy.
