  Yes, I have thought about the JW types you have described. I have also known folks in both categories personally. As noted by others, people who were living a destructive train wreck of a life bettered their situation by embracing a high control cult or by becoming BACs, etc. Whatever works.

  As far as not upsetting the applecart of long time JWs who are getting up in years and have lives completely saturated with the org. This is a situation soaked with irony. What about the people they converted or are trying to convert as we speak. Do they think that it would be unkind to convince a lifelong Catholic or Baptist, etc. to abandon their family faith?

  I say that those who claim the truth is so all important should be able to handle it. I'm not too sympathetic towards people who are out knocking on doors for the purpose of shredding other peoples lives and beliefs.

  That was fantastic, Shanus! You always have the perfect post at the perfect time.

  Anyway, I guess bringing up this subject is kind of like picking up a dud firecracker and blowing on it. Just wondering if anyone of you lovelies have ever posted anything under the influence of estrogen fluctuations that you might have phrased differently at other times?

  Do female posters perhaps express themselves 'differently' here at certain times of the month? Or is it like alcohol in that the person is simply less inhibited, or more irritable?

  I believe that the reincarnation beliefs held by some societies include the possibilities of all kinds of life. Insects, birds, fish, etc etc.

  hmmm, for me either a bird or maybe a dog that belongs to a doting human master.

  just thought i'd introduce myself.

  i've been lurking for a few months and want to get in on some of the conversation.. also here's a song that's taken on a new personal meaning for me.

  (i was born in to a witness family and have recently woke up to the fact that it is just a group of people following just men.

  Have you ever successfully persuaded anyone?

  by losthobbit in

  i've had many conversations with religious people and am always surprised that i am never able to get anyone to put their programmed beliefs aside and process the logic that proves how unreasonable their doctrines are.. so, i'm wondering, have you ever successfully persuaded someone to change their mind about something that they had been brainwashed with, and if so, how did you do it?.

  thanks in advance .

  It is generally true that arguing religion and politics is like trying to nail jello to the wall.

  I think when people do shift their beliefs it is only after a process of internal contemplation and their own observations.
