.. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.
instead of preaching and saving people??.
I guess with the older witnesses ...pun intended,
dying off, they have timed this facade just about right!
Who us? Not supposed to dance? Be content with just
any old roof over our heads? Not be showie? Huh, we
never said that! ...We never did that!
And all the witlesses just kind of give their heads a
shake and think,... hmmm I must have misunderstood,
oh yeah it was just me ....I got it all wrong! Oh yeah
I'm gonna get me some dance lessons .......see it is OK!

A new religion is born!
conversation with an elder...i said " did you watch due south yesterday" and he said " ive got far more important things to do".
i mean that comment of his got me to thinking and wondering, and made me see he was missing out on living..and i think that comment was the straw that broke this boys faith, and started my i dont want to be a witness anymore.
kind of wierd how a simple question opened my eyes.. and now as i write this i am watching " the rebel" a 1950s western series, and its great and its even better my 9 year old is watching with me..and there is nothing more important than being happy.. .
Talked to an elder who was also annointed (woo hoo!)
about being depressed............all he said was...........
"well if you are depressed, you must be feeling guilty
about something" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was alone at the new branch construction site in ticuantepe (nicaragua).
everybody had taken off for a weekend assembly in the capital and it was my turn to have watchman duty and guard the site.
we had dogs and i only had to walk around the perimeters and check all the gates and entrances.. suddenly a young boy appeared at the main gate, breathless and visibly nervous.
BluePill ..... thank you for sharing your thoughts,
and the reality of life & death.
We naturally seem to favour the 'life' part.
As for how the wtbts uses it to corral the fearful
masses into their asylum you are right on!
All that whipping & prodding! Get to the mtgs
even if you are tired out or sick, extend yourself
you can rest LATER. It will be all good LATER!
Don't have a life now, the real one is LATER!
"Life........something that you can throw away, waste and use without concern?"

Wow, you sure hit the nail on the head with this BP!

796 infant skeletons have been found discarded in a septic tank at the former mother and baby home run by the catholic church in ireland between 1925 and 1961.. unwed mothers were sent these "magdelene asylums" to be treated like criminals.
their babies - if they survived - were taken from them.
if they did not survive their bodies were thrown into a septic tank and forgotton.
Villagegirl ...........links?
in reality, they are pretty insignificant..
Minimus....thankfully I have been out long
enough that I just snikker at their antics.
Every day Iam just 'gobsmacked' tho, that I
ever did think they were my everything!
http://www.eqi.org/invalid.htm.
of course, being in a cult and the shunning that comes from leaving it is invalidating.. but how many times have we heard "move on" or "get over it"?
that is a prime example of invalidation.. sometimes this forum, as well as others, can be a mixed bag of validation and invalidation..
Londo111.......... sorry Londo,
"total information control from birth and knowing no other way of life."
new study out of the university of bc:.
http://news.ubc.ca/2014/05/29/better-to-be-bullied-than-ignored-in-the-workplace-study/.
we tend to underestimate the damage that social ostracism does.
Sparrow ..that's it, "feeling quite powerless"
Sometimes with the preshunning, there is a
feeling like.......if I confront this "cold shouldering",
maybe I am miss reading it & will feel like an idiot
if I am wrong.....so I let it go. Crazy making business!

Doc ....with all due respect to you, these are
authentic people, relating to real people.
This is not a commercial, not a business, not
for money.
Yes, everything could be shorter, faster & to
the point. They know all about that...
For most of their lives ....they gave "to the
point' talks in the MS....watchtowers way!
