  JWs at the Edinburgh Festival

  by passwordprotected in

  my girlfriend and i took the train through to edinburgh to soak in the atmosphere and catch a few free comedy shows at the fringe festival.. almost immediately i spotted them; jw.org witnesses.. how did i know it was them?.

  well, the middle-aged, tall man wearing the suit, shirt and tie was a big clue.

  that and the fact that he was holding the hand of a similarly tall, middle-aged woman, dressed in the jw uniform of long skirt, blouse and light summer jacket.

  i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.

  i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?

  i've already found several by reading older posts..

  Perfect Relationship, He Still Broke Up With Me

  2. relationships

  last month, my best friend of four years and boyfriend of six months came home from a jehovah's witness convention.

  he'd been acting strangely the entire weekend and i knew something was wrong.

  i initiated a discussion and he said, "essentially our relationship is wrong and i'm not supposed to be with you.

  Please at the very least make sure you dont get sucked into the cult yourself in a desperate measure to be with him. Run, run away.

  i've been browsing the site for some time as things that the society teach just are not adding up much these days.

  by exploring some of the threads on here i'm starting to see why.

  a brief bio.

  Welcome, give yourself the right to ask questions, .. any question, none should be off limits to you, then you will find out the reality like many here have done.

  You were born into and raised in a cult. I was too.

  i thought it was high time to introduce myself (without my name of course).

  as my name would suggest i have been reading your intriguing post, thoughts and discussions for some time now.

  around 3/4 months to be exact.. i guess to start with it would seem fitting to give a little background on my current situation.. i'm a born-in, but have over the last few years found that through a number of varying occurences, (some of which i may discuss in future posts) that my 'zeal' has gone from regular field service and meetings to no service in over a year and very sporadic meeting attendance.

  Excellent, keep reading, keep searching and keep questioning.

  Better to have questions you can't answer than answers you can't question. Cant remember who said that one sorry....

  It's a cult. Read up about cults and cult mind control.

  https://freedomofmind.com/Info/BITE/bitemodel.php

  You saw the cult personality come to the surface, this is the danger in relationships with cult members or ex cult members who have not fully deprogrammed and still believe in it or are susceptible to be reactivated.

  Finish the relationship and move on would be the kindest advice to give you.

  Is there Such a Thing as TIme

  by givemejustalittlemoretime in

  the present moment is real.

  however much you may remember the past or anticipate the future, you live in the present.

  the next second of your life is the future.

  OP is a subtly edited version of this and gives no credit...

  Scientific American June 2010 - Is Time an Illusion:

  As you read this sentence, you probably think that this moment — right now — is
  what is happening. The present moment feels special. It is real. However much you
  may remember the past or anticipate the future, you live in the present. Of course, the
  moment during which you read that sentence is no longer happening. This one is. In
  other words, it feels as though time flows, in the sense that the present is constantly
  updating itself. We have a deep intuition that the future is open until it becomes
  present and that the past is fixed. As time flows, this structure of fixed past, immediate
  present and open future gets carried forward in time. This structure is built into our
  language, thought and behavior. How we live our lives hangs on it.

  Yet as natural as this way of thinking is, you will not find it reflected in science. The
  equations of physics do not tell us which events are occurring right now — they are
  like a map without the “you are here” symbol. The present moment does not exist in
  them, and therefore neither does the flow of time. [Sci]

  PEER PRESSURE!!! I gave in to Pioneering during August...I feel dirty...

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok, i'll admit it...i am weak.... as everyone knows, the pressure to "pioneer" during "the most momentous, awesome, amazing, centenary anniversay of jesus invisble kigdom rule, & distribute tracts about a dodgy website" campaign is very strong at the moment.... also, many will have read my threads about the extreme views and expectations in our cong for "all appointed men to pioneer" etc..... every elder and ms and their families have been announced as pioneering....i mean everyone's name was read out except mine..... i was not going to do it, as i do not believe anyone should be forced...(and of course its the last thing on earth i would rather do anyway since learning ttatt).

  but i am not quite ready to make the break yet, so i realised that i would stand out more if i didnt put in a form to pioneer.

  yes it would make me more conspicious, and make fading harder to do...it would bring more heat on me if i didnt pioneer.. so i gave in and submitted a form.... now, of course, i'm only going to make sure i'm seen at the key field service groups etc...but then go and do something more interesting...like count blades of grass..... ahh....i feel hypocritical to myself now......

  And the proof for any of that is where?

  Wishful thinking and confirmation bias are not a good foundation for establishing truth.

  Edit to add Syme nailed it.
