  We are becoming champions of grief. We lost twin B.

  last week we had a reassurance ultrasound with our ob.

  she was just supposed to check heartbeats on the two little ones and they were going strong!

  but because she had extra time and she can be quite anal about her work (which is a good thing) she decided to take some measurements.

  I have a hard time finding any active JW's of my age group (50's). Especially if they were raised by two active JW parents. A few that were raised by a zealot of a mother and a "worldly" father still attend, but not the ones that were raised in a strict two parent household (We apparently all evolved)

  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.

  i never got into trouble with the elders.

  i served on judicial committees too many times.

  i am happy that i no longer have to "judge" whether someone is a "sinner" any longer!

  "Keep in mind that Satan does not want you to think clearly or reason things out well. Why? Because propaganda “is likely to be most effective,” says one source, “if people . . . are discouraged from thinking critically.”"

  Critical thinking skills are not even taught in this country until college, and since college is condemned, then what would anyone at the KH even begin to know about critical thinking?

  And I always love it when they give us detailed information on where their material is coming from ....."says one source"

  I truly am in shock at what I saw last night. These two arrogant, ignorant, misogynist men showed up and for 3 hours basically said F*** You!

  We are discussing children being raped and these men simply run out the clock and get the hell out of there.

  ....And then the real icing on the cake (especially for those of us who are DF'ed) is that we shun them. Can you believe this?? Those poor men are "evidently" the real victims here.
