  A wise exiting witness told me they only harrass the disinterested. They leave the needy alone. I suspect they have sniffed out your lack of neediness.

  When I am with Witnesses I practice flipping them in to their natural personality, by asking after their interests. I never gave a Pioneer my phone number or committed to a study. I can have a natural discussion with a Witness for a good long time. If they snap back in to cult mode, give a noncommittal answer "mmm" and try and flip them natural again.

  Anyways that is how I entertain myself.

  easy... skip it!.

  but already i had people calling me asking where i was yesterday!!!!

  the system the jw's have in place can be compared to a communist regime , where everyone keeps a check on each other.

  I have always said pre-digested, like pablum. In my church we were expected to do serious bible studies - concordance only - on our own. The so-called studies have had all the hard thinking removed! How would you rather have your steak - on the bone or from a baby food jar? (I might be projecting a little here. I am literally eating puréed steak after surgery. At least I am pushing the blender button myself).

  I would have said to the headline, clean the house from top to bottom and find the Cole's Notes on the internet.

  What always struck me were the young people promenading on breaks, coupling off.

  Note the disconnect between the Public Relations answer and the actual working out of events. The truth is that these assaults were tolerated, the victims disbelieved. It took a secular court to bring (delayed) justice. I am sure this predator continues to function in a cocoon of his own self- righteousness, and has failed to admit to the damage he has done.

  How We Come Across On The Board

  most people here have never met you.

  we converse, discuss, argue, laugh, agree, question, share our lives..... quite often, you kind of get to know what a person is like.

  some people, we tend to gravitate to and others, we shy away from.. how do you think you come across to other people?

  I had the privilege of meeting Scully and Lady Lee two weeks ago. My surprise is how soft-spoken they are. Blondie too. Scully attributes to all that submission training.

  I use my whole language in here, where I tailor it to my audience IRL.

  In some ways I am more real here. What we miss are the mannerisms, which is the first thing I memorize when I meet in person.

  hello again, for those who don't know me i'm a 15 year old boy.

  and recently my mom is displaying symptoms of demensia, she left the stove on today and she yells at us for watching commercials on t.v that are "demonic" because today there was a commercial on television for the new 300 movie and she started yelling at my sister to turn it off, and then i was listening to coldplay as a playlist while doing my school work and she started yelling at me to turn the demonic music off.

  she says "demonic" this "demonic" that.
