repeating word for word
by J-ex-W inweird question: i understand the concept of mirroring/ matching as defined in nlp writings (sales, hypnosis, therapy techniques, etc.).
what i'd like to know is, why do some people carry this to the extreme of repeating word for word, even to the point of replaying l - o - n - g conversations in their entirety?
i've noticed that certain individuals play back not only my verbal 'role' from a previous conversation 'transcript' but their own 'role' as well, all the while passing it off as if it is entirely a new conversation in present moment.

One reason could be OCD. Another reason could be that they need to hear the conversation coming from themselves in order to register it and they don't realize that they are doing it.
It could also be a symptom of stress - they unknowingly repeat things beceause they can't grasp input too well.
I hope that helps somewhat!

If The Watchtower Ruled the World...
by brotherdan induring my "intervention" the other night, an interesting thing was brought up that i remember hearing all through my life.
i think even the wt has commented on it a time or two.. the girl i was talking to said, "can you just imagine what this world would be like if it was run by jehovah's witnesses?!?
" she was saying this so as to prove her point that jehovah's witnesses have love and would never go to war nor break the law.

Watchtower doesn't want to support more than a handful of aging residents.
Yip - the aging brothers in Spain know all too well about that!

I agree with the 1984 comparison - I read it and it was terrifyingly like the WTS.
They would exterminate any and all apostates without hesitation. Hell on earth sums it up as in the story above.
Basically the 'new order' they speak of is a totalitarian one world government ruled by an iron rod - no dissenters allowed. Sound familiar?

Straight from the September Watchtower. How can they print this without blushing?
by nicolaou inthe watchtower september 1, 2010 11. .
the dangers of being deceived (page 10/11).
to deceive, says one dictionary, means to cause to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid.

Witnesses will only apply it to all OTHER religions. How fortunate that they are not deceived and are so well protected.
Abridged Version and
BS Edition (I guess that applies to both though!)

Today is my 2yr Anniversary of being OUT of JWs - honoring it with a letter! (long)
by babygirl30 intoday is my 2yr anniversary since being df'd - and my life has changed a lot!!!
this is a letter i wrote to my parents...i did see/talk to them in feb when i had my surgery, but of course as it goes, now that i'm 'better' - they are back to shunning me.
so this was sent to them both, so that they understood that despite all the jw bull ish, and how they are treating me now - i'm ok and happy!

That is a very touching letter. I'm glad you found a place of peace, acceptance and love. You've gone through a lot and have really grown in two years. It shows that it can be done. Thanks for sharing.

That is horrible! What's worse is the when the witnesses say it's all lies. Yes, THOUSANDS of children are ALL lying about being molested by JW elders or brothers. Oh right, I forgot these children can get away with lying because there weren't two eye-witnesses around to prove that they were lying and wanting to ruin the reputation of the poor elder and/or the org.
Poor girl and poor others. This will continue happening as they are deluded and not protecting innocent children. They protect the ones with the power and control. SICK people.
