Headbands were quite fashionable then....think Olivia Newton John! The one guy in the middle looks like he's try to eat the other person's hair or something.

Cognitive Dissonance

by LexIsFree in

the cognitive dissonance amongst jws has never been more obvious to me then what i just experience in the last 5 min.

long story short i had a phone conversation w/my mom about some things and i mentioned to her to look up what has been going on with their beloved organization in australia.

brother geoffrey jackson of the holy governing body was caught lying numerous times about several subjects including disassociations & shunning.

Got it here too...my mother handed me the brochure to read, and when I said I would read it if she listened to me about what is going on in Australia, she shut me down. I find it very interesting that they're so eager to push they're beliefs on you but when you counter, they just go into bean bag mode.

i read on another thread (on another forum) where someone mentioned a truly guilt-inducing, cringe-worthy, "bad association" video that was played at this summers rc's.

here is how that person described it:.

"the video about "bad association" was really weird.

This is so disturbing to me. I was a born-in years ago and I thought that was bad. But this just takes it to a whole new level. That poor girl WASN'T doing anything wrong. Just hanging out with friends. These scare tactics should be child abuse. What did that speaker say?? Teens fall into the "snare and fear?"

Why is the GB so concerned with the well-being of the accused in matters of sexual abuse?

by paradisebeauty in

i'm reading some documents from the royal commission and i don't get it, why so much concern for the accused and his reputation???

i'm starting to think maybe some gb members have things like this in their past, because a normal human being would not take the side of a sexual predator over a child....united states branche x e c u t i v e o f f i c e sto watch tower societyaustraliagsc/as january 21, 1999 no.

176sit is understood that if the law requires elders to report cases of child abuse, they should complywith the law and do so.

Anyone know of any of the GB's e-mails???? Ashley Madison comes to mind here. Just sayin'

my mother is old enough that i don't want to burst her bubble by telling her ttatt.

i keep my mouth shut about what i know so that i can continue to have a relationship with her.

my father died a few years back and i would love to see her marry again.

I'd like a man too, just not a JW!

Boyfriend and dating news - Any advice

by KateWild in

so i started dating on the internet in june and have met some nice guys.

i have put in a few recent posts that i have a boyfriend and wanted to give an update.

things haven't worked out sadly.. i was seeing him for a couple of months we were having fun and then things tailed off after christmas.

I am searching too....for every 100 emails I get, maybe two are worth a response. Seriously, who doesn't like walks on the beach, sunsets and a fireplace? Yes, you love your kids. I get that. But most of the profiles I look at put me right to sleep. One person had a 12 paragraph essay on the brain disorder he has. Another one went on and on about his alcoholic ex-wife and their divorce. One man posted about 13 pictures of food. Yes, food. And a watermelon. The list goes on...anyway, I am thinking about writing a book about my experiences about this very subject. Also, I'm still single so if you have any friends.... :)
