  Ever wonder how seemingly smart people can be duped?

  by fern in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone ever wonder how their seemingly intelligent family members can be so totally taken in by this religion?

  i look at my parents and just wonder how in the world do you fall for this jw crap?

  neither of my parents are college educated but by no means are they stupid and have good judgement and sense when it comes to a lot of things, but not this religion.

  Did Being A Witness Make You Feel Better About Yourself?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some persons need to feel they are validated because they don't have much going for them otherwise.

  being a part of jehovah's organization makes them feel special.

  being different from other religions makes them feel recognized,.

  Do You Feel Better Because You Post On EXJW Boards?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in reality, is it a good thing, in the long run?

  should the purpose of a board to be to give the person needed help and then the person should just move on?.

  does being on a discussion board like this mean that you aren't really getting on in your life?.

  Saw my dad last night...

  by tall penguin in

  2. friends

  a few weeks ago i had a conversation with my mother (still a jw).

  she told me that one of my fave elders, who was disfellowshipped a few months before i disassociated three years ago, just got reinstated.

  now, to know my mother is to know that she doesn't give you information unless she has an underlying motive.

  Afraid of the end of the world?

  by LearningMore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am wondering how much of my anxiety about the end of the world is from the wt experience, and how much is just me.

  i just watched wall-e, and while a cute movie, it really made me anxious.

  scifi in general makes me nervous.

  Limiting comments by kids during WT Study

  by navytownroger in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was told recently by a ministerial servant that the word had come down from above that from now on only two comments by children will be allowed during the wt study.

  the reason: the meetings are geared to adults, not children.

  has anyone else heard of this policy??
