  Jonestown Survivor Quote

  by cappytan in

  "...when our own thoughts are forbidden, when our questions are not allowed and our doubts are punished; when contacts & friendships outside of the organisation are censored, we are being abused for an end that never justifies its means.

  when our heart aches knowing we have made friendships and secret attachments that will be forever forbidden if we leave, we are in danger.

  when we consider staying in a group because we cannot bear the loss, disappointment and sorrow our leaving will cause for ourselves and those we have come to love, we are in a cult.

  It's one of my favourite quotes and does need repeating often.

  Here's the fuller quote:

  When your own thoughts are forbidden, when your questions are not allowed and our doubts are punished, when contacts with friendships outside of the organization are censored, we are being abused for the ends never justify the means. When our heart aches knowing we have made friendships and secret attachments that will be forever forbidden if we leave, we are in danger. When we consider staying in a group because we cannot bear the loss, disappointment and sorrow our leaving will cause for ourselves and those we have come to love, we are in a cult… If there is any lesson to be learned it is that an ideal can never be brought about by fear, abuse, and the threat of retribution. When family and friends are used as a weapon in order to force us to stay in an organization, something has gone terribly wrong.”(page 299)

  Have you heard the one about "Back to the Future" Predicting 911??

  by EndofMysteries in

  when somebody posted this on fb, i was anxious to see how ridiculous it would be, probably worse then the gb prophecies, etc.

  after watching the clip, i honestly don't know what to believe.

  at the very least it's very entertaining and interesting.

  There's a big difference between being born into a cult and joining one when an adult though. Born ins dont deserve any derision at all in my book.

  Anyone who falls for this sort of thing is easy pickings for a cult.

  A bullshit detector. You need one.

  How many of us are 'perfectionists'?

  by FayeDunaway in

  2. beliefs

  i made a medium level mistake at work today, and when i make mistakes it really shakes me up and takes me a long time to recover.

  it completely rattles me, makes me feel awful about myself.

  my mind keeps going back to the mistake reliving how i could have let it happen.

  reporting for duty!

  I find myself cringing at things i did or said even as a child whenever they flash up in memory. I relive them over and over.

  woody harrelson and mathew mcconaughey { standing at the back of the k..h..during a meeting }.

  w.h.. "what do you know about these people " { who get their higher education reading and studying the watchtower and awake magazines} ?.

  "just observation and deduction , i see propensity for obesity , poverty, a yen for fairy tales , folks putting what few bucks they do have into contribution boxes .. i think it`s safe to say that nobody here is going to be splitting the atom.

  Belief in God Can Be Turned Off Like a Light Switch

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  researchers in york used magnetic stimulation to target an area of the brain called the medial frontal cortex in a group of volunteers.

  a control group received a sham treatment.. both groups were asked to think about death.

  the group who experienced the magnetic energy reported 32.8% less belief in angels, god and heaven.. when faced with difficult challenges people often take refuge in ideology.

  Whatever good you've done is being undone by allowing your ego to inflate to massive proportions.

  They would all fit on the isle of Wight?

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember once asking how the planet could possibly accommodate all the people who have ever lived?

  after the resurrection i mean.

  the answer i was told is that the gb had calculated that all the people who have ever lived could all fit on to the isle of wight?!.

  Just using 8 billion living now there would be 21 people per square meter, so no, they wont fit.

  Using a round 100 billion for everyone who ever lived (allowing for the 8 billion dead at big A) then that jumps to 263 people per square meter.

  So, total utter bollocks.

  so now that most of us have come to a semi truthful understanding that the witnesses are wrong about evolutionist, there is a certain question that i have always had.

  now if you were to ask any jw, they'd recite a complete fallacy from scientist regarding this.

  but what is you guys input of this.

  are you ex-JWs not the least suspicious that Scientists too might have their own agenda?

  So you arent an exjw then as you didnt include yourself in that?

  The only ones who come on here to bash science are the wilfully ignorant or the Brahma Kumaris cult.

  Don't.

  Ever.

  Marry.

  Or.

  Fall.

  For.

  A.

  JW.

  Or ...an EXJW who still believes in it, as they may later return.

  You are in for a whole heap of problems if you do.
