  Cognitive Dissonance

  i just got off the phone with my mom and during our conversation (which was good, actually, mostly personal, family stuff), i got a big hint of the cognitive dissonance that witnesses often operate under.

  you have to understand, my parents live in an area that is about 75% lds, or mormon.. she was mentioning a young lady my aunt is studying with, and she said the following.

  "she has a boyfriend, and your aunt met him.

  Hi again mindmelda...Not be contradictory in any way, is there a possibility that perhaps your mom feels that most Mormon guys act like they own their women, and may not have been referring to the Dubs? When I initially read that sentence, I interpreted it that way...just curious.

  That said with the understanding that it is YOUR Mom and not mine..lol

  up here in coldville, we got the iphone a year ago, and i actually stood in line for this highly anticipated little gadget.

  in february i had streak of bad luck and lost mine... but i just got another last week!

  once you use this phone, there is no going back.. i was a little paranoid about "jailbreaking" my phone when the cracks first came out last year.

  Yes you can Elsehwere. I have yet to do it myself....but I am going to give it a whirl. I got the iphone with a 6 gig data package, so im gonna give it a whirl and see how fast a 3 gig connection is on my computer.

  Pdanet is the name of the program and it seems pretty straightforward to connect.

  Your Welcome. Glad to see there is a fellow iphone fan here. 3.0 is due out pretty soon too, so perhaps it would be worth the wait. Here are a few links so you can be a little more informed VIII. TC

  Was a GB memeber deleted for molestation?

  by Albert Einstein in

  some time ago, i read on the internet, that in late 70s there was a gb member (his name should be leo greenslee) who was accused of molestation of a little boy - son of a witness family.

  after this was revealed, he was supposed to be removed from bethel to serve as a special pioneer out of new york and have died in 80s.. have you heard about it?.

  Mark Palo is the name of the victim.

  Perhaps some here are more familiar with his story?

  I'm curious as to why he wouldn't have been "bought out". Surely a GB member being relocated would be an admission of guilt in some respects.

  New Star Trek movie a huge hit! Sequel already taking shape, franchise to continue!

  by Witness 007 in

  2. entertainment

  with an opening of 74 million this is offically the biggest trek movie ever!

  the record of 30 million star trek "first contact" is broken.

  with roaring ratings the writers are saying all cast members are signed up by contract to a sequel...they are reading trek books to prepare with talk of "kahn" and many former bad guys returning.

  I watched a few Next Generation episodes...thats about it. I figured that if this was a prequel , it may be a good place to start, perhaps even inspiring me to start watching the movies already out?

  I have never watched a Star Trek movie before. Would this be a good place to start? I always skipped the other ones cause i never watched the first one...

  I have heard this too midget. If you are able to restore your iphone back to factory conditions, how will they have evidence of doing this? What things do techs look for? This is a software hack, not hardware.

  Thanks

  Friends, Study Partners, and then GONE...

  by ptucker8357 in

  about a year and 12 ago, after much conversation with a jw co-worker, we began a formal study.

  we studied religiously (no pun intended) almost every week unless i was on business travel or there was a sickness or other item that precluded us from getting together.. .

  during that process, we became very strong, close friends... at least that is what i thought was happening.

  Reading Ptuckers comments indicates there was some "heart to heart" talking, as he was genuinely hurt...so I thought I would ask some questions to help clarify.And my questions have what to do with you Steve? I'm not sure if your being a dick or not. Questions lead to more questions, and I am more than happy to engage in conversation rather than read into what a poster may be "suggesting". For all you know, his friend my be having a harder time with this than you or I know. Your a real gem. The Witness in question may not even be aware of his own feelings to even be able to "front up". As much as they are all the same in one way or another, their not all exactly the same.
