we are not jehovah's witnesses because of a variety of circumstances, but one thing we all share is that we question.. what factors come together to make us questioners?.

intelligence?

but i know a lot of very smart non-questioning jehovah's witnesses.. bravery?

The board will notice that YoYoMamma has read damning testimony of the WT's damaging policies and leaves JT's brilliant commentary with this note:

I understand your point. Thanks for writing that long post. It made me think.

Notice the cult programming kick in as YoYoMamma desparately attempts to justify his/her world view by somehow ignoring the recent revelation and (like clockwork) switches gears to defending the 'society':

There have been many adjustments and I have to say that Jehovah will judge even the organization for mistakes.

Translation: "I should stay in the organization even if it is corrupt because God will judge it accordingly."

YoYoMamma uses the same defense mechanisms that other church members use to justify their membership into their respective faiths as they are being spiritually attacked at the door. Indeed many other religions have "made adjustments" to mistakes they have made. One notices how it is acceptable to YoYoMamma for 'the organization' to make such mistakes as God will judge them accordingly (presumably as they are merely humans), yet for 'other organizations' to do the same shows their influence by satan, despite their humanity. In actuality it only shows YoYoMamma's mental conditioning by the society that if your not a member of "God's spirit-directed organization" than you are pigeon feed (read: less than human).

i am sending this letter via email to both my local hospital and to several doctors (different version) who have occasion to treat my immediate family.. i thought that i would post such on the db so that others here could also do the same.

however, i would ask that you do not completely duplicate the letter, in the event that the same hospital or same doctor receive this more than once, and discard it as a hoax.

please take the time to change some of the wording, and personalize it to your own circumstances.. i will post any received replies, and i ask that others please do the same.. *****************************************.

Hey thought I would jump in and just say one more thing I am so sick and tired of hearing people whine about the "cliques" & "powers that be" on this board. Are you all so very shallow and your self confidence is so low, you must point the finger instead of standing up like a man/woman and accepting that others just don't like your idea(s)?

PING...

I am so sick and tired of hearing you "cliques" complain about the "whiners" on this board. Are you few so lacking in self-esteem that you must belittle and chastize others instead of standing up like a man/woman and accepting that others just disagree with your minor notions? Just exactly who do you think you are?

Then again, maybe a lack of self-esteem isn't the problem, maybe it's being conceited. Who knows!

Your serve Mommy...

MadAppostate:

I wouldn't bother posting the replies here. If it goes against the "clique's" preconceived notions of what is should say, they will only accuse you of falsifying the letter.

10 REASONS WHY JWS STAY IN THE TOWER

by Victor_E in

jw
friends

reason 1. jws use a cultic language that keeps them in a constant state of social hypnosis.

transformational grammar teaches that our language directly affects our subjective experience.

in working with some former jws i had to confiscate certain words and have them create substitutes for something that was more neutral.

i have seen the term 'unconditional love' used often in reference to jws.

now, i understand the import: they love someone only on the condition that someone remains a jw "in good standing.

however, the term 'unconditional love' is proferred in a positive light.

I have unconditional love from.... (drum roll)...

NOBODY.
