  wonderful news!

  my sister in law started attending mass almost two months ago, and stopped bringing their two young children to the kh.

  my brother lingered and attempted to bring them back into the fold.

  A great picture for proving that JWs aren't weird and cultish...

  it's a shame this is only in the study edition, so the general public can't see how normal and down-to-earth the witnesses are in how they perceive themselves.... .

  That is such a crazy picture.

  Angels can have beards but men can't.

  And ditto, they aren't protected from anything, not even their cultish teachings.

  After leaving the WTS have you been left with a phobia about being happy?

  by Xanthippe in

  after reading flipper's thread about steve hassan's latest book it got me thinking about the stuff on phobias he mentions.

  apparently cults deliberately instill phobias in you to cut you off from the real world.. we were constantly being told if we were struggling it showed we were doing everything right because the devil only persecutes those that are doing well.

  if i ever said to anyone i am thinking of taking up a hobby or doing some exercise or (very rarely) planning a holiday they were instantly critical.

  When we first left I would get things twinges of guilt for no reason. It was definitely the cult conditioning of having to be busy and active. It will pass. Recognizing it for the brainwashing that it is is the most important thing.

  Ditto that.

  I don't have lots of time to read and post. So I can't get involved with too much discussion on the board. I actually prefer the topics that are wrapped up neatly within a few paragraphs or posts.

  Every blue moon I have time to read the threads that go on endlessly with no resolution.

  just nothing more than a 'share'..... i was in pittsburgh on business and took a day off and paid a visit to russells grave.. i haven't stopped laughing since.

  i'm worried i'm going to break ribs.. had i seen this as a young kid/adult.....i surely would have thought "wtf???".

  folks...if you ever needed confirmation this whole thing is a laughable cult......make your way to pittsburgh and see chuck's resting spot.......its worth it just get pictures with his pyramid.. lol.
