Ohhhh goodness gracious....I'm 50 minutes into the whole download of fred franz's talk about 1975. I'm about to die of boredom, although there are certainly some interesting inferences made & I will definitely pass it on to my jw family.....

Ok, now I'm into minute 65. Did they have smoke pot back then? He sounds like he is going in and out of consciousness, doesn't he? towards the end, he discusses how the time is too short to have/raise children or go to school.

Losing the Ego, easier said than done

i've read steven hassan's combatting cult mind control, and i can see that it's impossible to say anything negative about their religion/cult.

thats just really stinkin' tough when you have proof and evidence of things and they are in lala land about their cult!

about ten years ago, i was a lot more outspoken about how i felt about the jw's, but have since grown up a bit.

Reniaa, I want my family back. And to have them crying at a district assembly convention because they are so saddened because they feel I am like the prodigal son/daughter, well, that's just not acceptable. I have no ill will towards Jehovah's Witnesses. But the deceipt and lies that the leaders have told is disgusting.

Rebel8 & outback, can't they say those were fabricated somehow? I saw them and believe they are real, but can't a jw question its authenticity? Because that youtube video was somewhat pieced together, I went & downloaded the whole hour long talk. What happens when my sis asks where I got the download from?

I've read Steven Hassan's Combatting Cult Mind Control, and I can see that it's impossible to say anything negative about their religion/cult. Thats just really stinkin' tough when you have proof and evidence of things and they are in LaLa land about their cult! About ten years ago, I was a LOT more outspoken about how I felt about the jw's, but have since grown up a bit. I went walking with my jw sister this morning and asked her about the assembly this past weekend (i've got a plan, and sincerely asking questions is part of it). She went on and on about the different parts....how the prodigal son drama was so touching and made so many people cry because they have loved ones who have left Jehovah. And then she talked about how Brother Barr from the governing body went up , and OHHH he was just so CUTE! and he had this little accent that was adorable! and he mentioned things like the questions I've recently brought up about things "some" witnesses have claimed but haven't come true (1975 mainly). And how it's just like when the apostles thought the times were going to end but they didnt. My little snippity ego started going and I laughed "yeah, but the apostles didn't kick people outta their club if they disagreed with them". She said "its not a club, homeschool". I asked her WHO was saying that 1975 was going to be the end (I already know the answer to that). She said "just....people". I asked "the society?" ....she said "I dont know homeschool. I was only a year old." At that point I told myself to shut up if I ever want to get anywhere with her.

This is going to be tougher than it looks. She wants to have a study with me, to which I said ok.....so HOW do I bring up controversial stuff from their own literature without sounding like a jerk?
