No further education - is the policy backfiring?
by eyeslice init seems to me that there was a softening of the no further education edict for a little while.
but just lately the 'dangers' of pursuing further education and worldly careers has been made a real issue again.
it seems to me though that this has as much danger of driving the very ones they would like to keep, the talented, the bright, the high achievers, out of the organization.

How long did you stay active after having major doubts?
by jambon1 infor me, i had doubts from the beginning.
however, my 1st major doubt came as i had it confirmed that other people felt like i did about certain big issues within the org.
there were many, i realised, that just knew things were not right.

I became an MS in 97 and started doing more study as I should no more 'bout it. This studying to "remove doubts" created more. Then there was the generation change, the sheep and goat thing and now its okay to do alternate service for military 1998 I think. sooner or later they loose credibility. In 2001 my Dad go sick and died in 02. Last ASSembly on july 03. So I spent year and half in fade mode. I did get half doz Elder calls but I eluded to brainwashing at one point and that was the last of it. Was baptised in 71, remember the beating heart on the platform? 30 years of my life and the best ones wasted. No real education and never really worked at any thing worthwile (janitor). Now to old and sick to do much. I have found a few worldly friends who care and will even come by to visit, unlike before visit is to give you Sh@t for something or to drag you to service. Art

Junction Guy: There is never anything wrong with the teaching of the WT or is anything ever wrong with the leadership.If you ever have a problem with anything the fault lies with you. Its because your aren't smart as the Goubering Body or the elders, or cause you are imperfect and weak in the flesh and don't have enough spiritual strength. This is a standard thought control technique used by cults to control.

Who do you think the King of The North is?
by Number1Anarchist inlet me know thru your studies who do you think the king of the north is?.
russia or china i'm guessing but that would be a logical choice.. this is my opinion but i think with the united states getting involved in territories that are under control of russia and china is reaching a boiling point and eventually somone is gonna say i have had it i'm not taking this anymore.. i read this also that in a chinese proverb they have a sayin "kill the chicken to frighten the monkey" the chinese beleive the attack on iraq was the chicken and they are the monkey.. now i'm hearing they are or may blockade iran.
if this happens it could be the final straw but maybe not but i think very soon we will see the knig of the north rise up in defiance to the united states.. let me know what you think please!.

Maybe the corporation. Read Murray Dobbin the myth of the good corporation. The king of north was always to agressor so perhaphs the roles have reversed and now its the US,Canada, england

thanks sir8 and undercover. so just when did this change take place, I know its been a year or so since I had seen the mags. Undoubtedly the double speak will increase, or loading the language as Robert J. Lifton put it in Thought Reform and the psychology of Ideological Totalism.

Is it just because they finally figured out the study article were too deep (or stupid) for the public to handle or are they up to something? Hmmmm

So, why do you really hate the Roman Catholic Church?
by StAnn inthis is actually a serious question.. when i was a jw, i was taught all kinds of things about how horrible the rcc is.
i believed it.
many years after leaving the wts, i began looking into the rcc for myself and discovered that everything i had been told about the rcc by the wts was a lie.

I always thought the Catholics were fornicating in the pews!
