Have you been Invalidated?

by Londo111 in

jw
friends

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."

Ostracism more damaging than bullying

by jgnat in

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!

the waters are drying up!

a congregation of 110+ publishers will be contributing only $200 a month to the society in the new kingdom hall construction arrangement.

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!

What makes a true friend?

by stuckinarut2 in

so the "model" presentation for this months latest awake mag is this (as found in the latest kingdom ministry):.

social networks have made it possible for people to have more so-called friends than ever before.

what would you say is the most important quality of a true friend?

clarity

Did you ever go to an assembly 'cause your

bestest friend would be there.....& when you

found her she was sitting with someone else

& wouldn't give you the time of day!!!

Ha ha you really have to laugh at the

"friends structure" with jw's, it really is one

big gossip pit! Each member is fodder, at risk

of being the news of the day!

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY HALL SCANDAL

by The Searcher in

towards the end of last year, the witnesses in scotland had their own assembly hall opened in the town of livingston, near edinburgh the capital.. this was achieved no doubt by blood, sweat, and tears by many over a very long period - as well as by donations of witnesses from all over scotland and its islands, not forgetting the levy per publisher imposed on all the congregations in the guise of "donations"!.

was the org grateful for the sacrifices which were made to bring a great "shout of praise" to whoever?

nope!
