Am I the only one who thought the GB was 100% correct when they were a JW?
by NiceDream ina few months ago i began researching my doubts on the internet about the wtbts and i came across a bunch of crazy facts.
this helped me realize this isn't "the truth.".
when i was growing up, i believed the society was always right, and we needed to obey what was in the publications.

like Fox Mulder we wanted to believe, and when we found out it was not the truth we were upset. The true believers become the large army of powerful apostates.

Are you an Independent Thinker since Exiting JW's - Or Still a Follower ?
by flipper inmy wife and i are finishing reading an excellent book titled " deep healing " by emmett e. miller, m. d. the essence of this book is showing how our mind and body works in synchronicity with our mental health affecting our physical well being.. he also addresses the issue of how " group mentality " or peer pressure can influence seemingly " normal " people to totally ignore reality and allow a " group " of people to coerce them into believing an untruth.
this experiment was conducted in a college by psychology professors .
called the " red hatted thief " it went as follows :.

Cicero's quote any man can make mistakes but only an idiot persists in his error. Its not so terrible to be misled it happens most of us have heard the words "I love you" and it wasn't so . It's ok to go wrong as long as you notice that things didn't turn out as you had wanted & are prepared to learn from your mistakes.
So where all here because for a little while we believed it was a yellow hat but eventually we woke up & realized it was red, got up and left the room saying "it was red".
I've wanted anwers to whats it all about and in my persistence i've tried on lots of hats radical campus groups, communes, meditation groups, jehovahs witnesses you name it I've looked at it and walked away from it and I still haven't found what I'm looking for and now I'm 60. however, I'm married 25 years so I've been wise sometimes. as long as we keep trying, maybe we make mistakes we let our guard down and get trifled with we just need to keep going don't be too hard on ourselves for a lapse in judgement and call a red hat a red hat when we see one. that's an independant thinker.

limited ambition at work raises risk of job loss?
by serendipity ini am very fortunate to have a job, but i have no real ambition to move up the corporate ladder.
this is a white-collar environment and i'm lower level management.
i get the feeling that all people in my position are supposed to be ambitious.

it's kind of crazy but eveyone seems concerned about setting goals whether it be the wtbs or the workplace and everyone is being quilt tripped in all the arenas. everyone seems bothered by the idea that your not ambitious for their cause, people seem disappointed in you if your not on the hamster wheel. there may be a financial price to pay but whats wrong with just doing whatever you want if you want jimmy buffets wasting away in margaritaville sitting on your front porch swing so what, if you want to read books all day in the library so what you probably won't get rich unless a freak accident occurs or you invest all your time & energy into its pursuit its a decision but who cares what others think do what you want.

Did the nephilim have free will, or were they merely moral 'zombies'?
by gubberningbody ini find it hard to believe that every one of them used their 'free will' in a way meriting eternal destruction.. prove to me they have free will when supposedly 100% of them were bad.. if they had no choice as to their 'badness', then where is their messiah?.
why do we get one and they don't?.

What I don't get is how JWs can't see how their ideas paint God to be a terrorist
by gubberningbody inme - "whatcha doin?".
jw - "preaching to "save lives"?".
me - "who's gonna do the killing?".
-

nancy drew
"listen and understand. that terminator is out there. it can't be bargained with. it can't be reasoned with. it doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."
