June 15th WT - WT Society Pressures JW Parents to Indoctrinate Children
by flipper in
1. jw

in a non-study article in the jw only watchtower is an article titled " should youths get baptized ?

" the wt society is losing young people in very large numbers - so how else to try stemming the exodus than putting pressure on jw parents to indoctrinate and instill mind control into their children ?

in one section here in this article it almost sounds like a version of " 20 questions " that the wt society asks parents to determine if their children are making " spiritual progress " as they phrase it.

Is this a forum for JW issues or a poorly designed political and celebrity site?

it appears to me that even in the few months that i have been here there is less and less emphasis on jehovah's witnesses and anything remotely related to jws and more very poor posts about politics, foreign affairs and celebrities.

i can't omit the juvenile sex ones, which i find lacking in erotic nature.

it seems the 6th grade boys are meeting in the locker room.. the posts that involve jws have a very different tone from the drivel posted on others.

Are You Raising An Introvert?

its not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.

it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.

this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

well, i walked in and got the love-bombing before i even made it past the foyer.

everyone's missed me, everyone's thrilled that i came, blah, blah, blah.

to be fair though, there were a few there that i do miss so it was nice to see them.

if your kids drew this picture at school - what would her teachers/principal say?.

another good quote from the article "we made props - swords ... ".

ok heres a theoretical for you.. first of all i appreciate that not everyone here believes in an all powerful being ie.

a creator... but... not entertaining moral aspects of such and disagreements that will arise concerning it,.

what might be a theoretical picture of what might be able to be omnipresent and so on and so forth if the idea of an all powerful creator was so?.

Reality exists in your brain
by Nickolas in
1. jw
2. experiences
i've just posted the following in another thread whose subject is supernatural experience, but it may deserve its own thread so i'll repost it here.

i don't believe in the supernatural but i do believe that people experience unexplained things.

where i differ from some people is that i perceive the unexplained things exist only in their brains and not in the physical world around them.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
