  i've been on this site for a number of years now.

  i don't easily trust just anybody.

  having said that, there are a few persons here that know my real identity and i'm comfortable with them.. are there certain posters that you trust here?.

  Mouthy-------You're right. Now that I look at that sentence it does sound like something from the WT. But no -----never been a dub. Just a bible student...........think they call us "evil slaves" or something of that nature).

  bit fed up tbh , the recent lies and slander levelled against me which has remained unanswered has left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, plus probably spending a little bit too much time on web forums, see you all in a while.

  JB: I must echo the statement made by Babygirl 75.............no one believes the insinuations that the infant made. And ditto to "insearchoftruth." Take the time you need but come back refreshed.

  True Faith Jehovah's Witnesses

  some of you may be aware of the jw offshoot in the 1940s after the judge died, they call themselves true faith jehovah's witnesses and are essentially jw's in every way, shape and form, wiwth some minor differences.

  found this on you tube, from one of their conventions:.

  RR: Are these folks a world wide organization? Are they just as controlling and dictatorial as the regular jw's? What are some of the minor differences.

  I remember thinking 'why would I want anyone to change from being in the world to a JW?'

  did anyone else feel this way & if so, at what stage in your time as a jw?.

  i remember i must have been in the org for about 6 or 7 years.

  i was always trying to be the life & soul of the cong.

  Jambon's main point was that she noticed that "wordly people" seemed content and happy with their lives. So she felt conflicted about trying to draw them into this high control cult that would result in their losing their for the most part carefree lives and becoming unhappy robots. She was wondering if others also felt conflicted in that way.

  Question to WT Wizard: "They are trained to look and act sincerely interested in you." -----Like Bohm I am an 'outsider' and am endlessly astounded by things I read on this forum. Are there actually classes or training sessions for jw folks to learn to act "sincerely interested in you." If this behavior is fake, do the persons engaging in this fake love bombing realize their behavior is cynical?

  "We have an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ the righteous" If we are facing trials and tribulations in our lives, all we need is our mediator, Jesus. He is our protector --- our conduit to our Father. Sure angels are fascinating and awesome but they are merely our "fellow servants."

  i decided to join the group though im reading this forum since years now.

  i almost know you all....by nickname i mean..... my husband joined you a few years ago already.

  but i do not feel so free of speech because english is not my mother tongue, but i read a lot english books, have some relations with english speaking people, have a nice friend who is active on this forum and very known (because of her discoveries), so i will try to do my best.

  HI Claudia.

  English may not be your mother tongue, but you demonstrate a competence with the language that rivals many of us so-called "English Speakers." ---------

  Welcome and blessings.

  "i'm not a fan of facts.

  you see, facts can change, but my opinion will never change, no matter what the facts are.".

  Colbert is beyond beautiful....he is exquisite. (Also one of the best political satirists in the US).
