i am not aware of how many of you are familiar with the danish case of a jehovah's witness who was hospitalized after a tragic accident where he fell several floors from a scaffolding where he was working.. the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit and was conscious (albeit somewhat confused) for the first three weeks.

Suing someone who has saved your life????

Enter,,,,,, cognitive dissonance !!!

This is what you can do with,,, cognitive dissonance.

JWs proclaim they value "life" and adhere to Gods' commands of life & safety.

Cognitive dissonance. We have 2 opposing standards of beliefs.

With cognitive dissonance you can keep followers in this dumb, trance like state where you're afraid to grow a brain,, think critically & question things !!

Is it just me, or is Watchtower lowering its standards?

by ukpimo in

in the past, we used to hear talks on:.

avoiding sexual immorality and porn, as well as masturbation and other sexual practices.

why evolution cannot possibly be true.

Blondie good for you!!!

What can I say about PIMOs ??

I dont know. But it must seem like you're climbing a mountain with an elephant on your back. Knowing what you know,,,,,& especially with family and friends who are still die in the wool,, hardcore JW. With going to meetings and everything and acting like you're a believer.

The mental stress , anguish and anxiety must be off the chart.

That is being a PIMO now,,,and know what you know now. Maybe you have family,,, all your friends & maybe your job depends on it.....must be super stressful !!

I dont know how its possible to remain mentality in as a JW these days.

Crisis of Conscience is readily available on kindle. Or to order on amazon.

Forums like these.

A plethora of youtube videos. Videos you can go back from years ago & watch again & again.

Ignorance today,,,, is a choice.

What is Your Favorite WT Lie?

by Sea Breeze in

i would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.

surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.

my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.

Beth Sarim

That was a good one too !!!!

The Borg lost its appeal to the New York supreme court.

Guess what?

Without any doubt the Borg will appeal to the U.S. Supreme court now. Usually,,, the higher court upholds the lower court ruling. The Borg will have to do some fancy lobbying to the U.S. supreme court to convince them.

The way the Borg is losing these court battles,,, you'd have to wonder if the rank and file think "" Is God truly behind this organization?".
