Hi lisa, I used to look at that little dino for ages when I was Kid. In between picking the little beads of dried glue that they used stick those pages to the covers (I used to chew it - Yuck!).

you can't ignore this, yet there is nothing about it in the bible.

i noticed that the jw's seem to just brush over it, since they clearly can't explain it away or pretend its false!.

social outcasts, or possible geniuses, is it really so bad to be 'different'? (Asperger's & Autism)

by Adalwolfa in

i've posted this already under another topic but thought to do it again and maybe open up an honest discussion.. my son has been diagnosed with asperger's syndrome or borderline autism.

since then i've read just about anything i could lay my hands on.

the thing is he is very bright but doesn't mix very well socially.

My son is just in the process of being diagnosed. It seems to take forever and each school year they change the educational psychologist. I know my son is bright and loving but at school they seem so concerned with teaching him to fit in socially they neglect to teach him anything else. I was asked if I saw Aspergers as a problem at home and my answer was no. Many people end up in dead end jobs giving up on their aspirations in order to fit in. My son will doggedly pursue his passions when he grows up and won't make do like so many of the rest of us. What I do need help with right now is how to progress his diagnosis and what help is out there to support his development so that he will be equipped to be the genius I know is there.

i was suspossed to go to the meeting today, gotta to keep up the pretense in order to facillitate my fade.

instead i had nice lie in, i visited my non-witness dad, and then met up with my first aspostate from this site mr. majestic.. i didn't want to go to the meeting because meetings make me angry, i can now see the techniques used to control the congregation by fear.

i can't stand the thought that so many good people are being fed a banquet of lies and deception.. i could so easily never attend again..

why are kingdom hall addresses listed in the phone book many times a home address of an elder?

has anyone else noticed this?

it seems deceptive..

I agree with Blondie, no conspiracy simply practicality.

Impossible to concentrate!

by highdose in

looking back on my time as a jw i found that i sat at the meetings just willing the time to go past and just trying to get through it.

there would be a blip were i would concentrate on getting my answer in, just so that others didn't look down on me even more than they already did, but after that i would go back to sleep.. the thing is i was a very serious jw, and really did want to pay attention... i just found it to be impossible, 5 mins at the max and then drift away.... i even perfected the art of staring intently at the speaker while having my mind very much elsewhere.

and i wonder now how many jw's are actauly listening at all?.
