  Are you complicit if you stay in?

  by mrhhome in

  i am going to throw down the gaunlet.

  those who know the truth but stay in anyways are complicit in actions of the jehovah witness organization.

  while i am sympathetic to the very difficult choices that they have to make, their unwillingness to confront the jw enables the organization.. some of you may remember my story.

  Families are really good at using their feelings to influence your actions. In a way they are guards, there are many guards.

  they are very good at massaging numbers, I really don't think that those numbers are always what they say

  I love the fact that the GB is becoming more visible. Why? Think micro expressions.

  micro expressions are involuntary facial expressions lasting for half a second or less.

  these facial expressions mirror a person's true emotions and so provide a window into a person's feelings in response to a statement or question.

  particular facial expressions correspond to particular emotions and the mappings are universal across cultures.

  that very split second when you say something to someone in which they do not agree is priceless

  What would a Father's Day commercial look like if it was made by JW's?

  a father's day commercial for bass pro came on and it got me thinking.

  it said, "remember when your dad took you camping and taught you how to fish?".

  so i started thinking about my childhood and what the commercial would be like for people like myself.. it would go something like this:.

  The resolution was actually passed!

  by stillin in

  who would have thought that enough people would raise their hands when the resolution was put before the congregation tonight?

  based on the pledges that the publishers put on those little pieces of paper, the congregation is promising the wts that they will send $1,000/month to support the society's building funds.. there is a traditional monthly shortfall of about $100 with the basic monthly bills usually around $1,000.

  i didn't raise my hand.

  she may not realize it now, but this could be her ticket to freedom, before knowing about the hypocrissy in the Borg. there is always a silver lining to every dark cloud

  do I get scared when there is a major storm, well no. if there was an F5 tornado heading my way, well yes. If a 9-11 event takes place, not really, I just realize that the Dubs will hop back on their bandwagons hyping it up to the "last days" nonsense.
