Did your witness family have a 'Thanksgiving' that wasn't on Thanksgiving?
by SydBarrett inmy family had several elders, ministerial servants, auxillary pioneers etc, so it certainly wasn't one of those 'barely in' families.
but in certain small ways, i think mine were slightly less hard line than some other families i've heard stories about over the years.
one example was the 'fall dinner'.

JWs vs Jonestown.
The witnesses I do believe are just a hop,skip and a jump from a Jonestown event.
I do believe that the JWs mindset is there. They will do what it takes to get to the new world.
Thats,, where it's dangerous!!!

What would happen to a JW for celebrating Christmas?
by Vanderhoven7 inmark jones writes:.
if they were spied upon and it was reported to the elders they’d be “invited” to a judicial committee whereupon they’d be cross examined in a locked backroom by three men acting as judge and jury to decide if they are guilty.. .
if the elders decide that they are guilty, they’ll then decide if the person is sorry.

Usually in Dubbiland,,, if 2 witnesses are privvy to the event thats all the eldubs need to proceed with discipline.
You know,,,,,that two witnesses rule. How they use it to evade reporting stuff or 2 or more they can use it to punish you.

Would you be able to survive a three day Assembly?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe last assembly i attended was over 10 years ago.
the monotone speakers, boring talks, uncomfortable seats, long prayers and nodding off after the lunch break did me in.
i survived the morning sessions, but the afternoon sessions were brutal.

"" the jws come to town with the 10 commandments & a 10 dollar bill & dont break any of them"".

Jehovah's Witnesses came by today.
by 3rdgen inthis morning i was in our front yard sitting down pulling weeds when i saw 3 people slowly walking on the sidewalk in my direction.
2 of them were young, handsome, clean shaven, wearing nice crisp white shirts and perfectly tailored black slacks.
they could have been mormons except.... there was a 60ish portly woman wearing a frumpy dress and ugly sandals.

Sometimes the best way to break through a JWs programming is in a calm & diplomatic way..
Lets just say a cup of coffee at the restaurant.
You can show them all the facts. Be as calm & polite as possible.
Being argumentative strengthens their resolve & mindset.
Be calm & polite. Ask them questions and make them think. They will often give contradictory answers. Leave this with them.
This leads to cognitive dissonance. Then....doubt.;)
I know. Its what I experienced. ;))

JWs are mind controlled.
That is the problem . when presented with indisputable facts they turn their critical thinking skills off :(
Thats mind control. Thats what people like Steven Hassen in his books talks about
Nobody can do critical thinking for you. You,, have to cultivate those. ;))

Something has to pique JWs curiosity somewhat.
And,, thiis is why the Borganization hates education & independent research so much
There is now,,,enough information to create ""cognitive dissonance"". Which when critical thinking comes into play leads to doubt.
From there,,,,one realizes he/she has been manipulated & can conclude they have been duped.
:0(
Somebody has to come to this conclusion on their own.
Nobody can do it for you. The thing is,,,,,there is a vast amount of information out there to come to that realization.
