  Yeru, I'm sorry to read this. I do recall in a past thread your mention of the fact that you loved your wife very much, but that there were difficulties and that keeping your marriage together was not easy. Take care guy. I hope things work out for you, in whatever way that will be best for all parties involved.

  2. friends

  i was just thinking about a discussion i had a few years ago when i was still an active jw... .

  i asked a pioneer sister why so many people accused jws of brainwashing.

  she happily responded, "well, they accuse us of brainwashing because that is what we do.

  Sunday program: WTS says It's all lies!

  by ozziepost in

  2. child-abuse

  reports are being circulated that congregation elders in new south wales have been instructed what to tell householders who raise questions about the recent "sunday" program report.

  they are to say that it's all lies.

  amazingly this contradicts the evidence from decided court cases as shown in the program.

  Thanks for the report Ozzie. Yep, the standard response - don't address the real issues, just tell them 'it's all lies by apostates and opposers'.

  Xena, good post. As caligirl mentions, the guilt trip is laid out, the thought-process is mapped out, and the manipulation is accomplished all with a couple of scriptures and some leading questions.

  HONESTLY, Do You Consider Yourself A Nice Person?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you really feel that you are a nice person or an unlikeable one?

  when you were in a congregation, did you tend to get along with people?

  were you contentious?

  Maybe what we should all do is start a thread asking others here whether they think we are nice or not. I'd bet we'd get some good replies.

  I liked Prisca's comment. That was good.

  I think studies of Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 are always interesting. I was unable to read all of the initial post only because of eye strain, but it is interesting.

  it wasn't that long ago that i was a newbie here and hung on every thread and reply.

  in the short time i've been here, many things i've learnt, many attitudes, many opinions, but the one thing i remember most of all is how i was welcomed here.

  never ever underestimate how a simple hello can mean to a newbie.. j gull

  Well, if this were a high school, we'd have called you "freshman" and knocked your books down.

  Or maybe this is just another cult, and you were "love bombed".....with reality soon to set in.

  Just playing of course. Welcome Johnathan, and I'm glad to see that you felt like you received a warm welcome.
