i am not trying to be sarcastic.

however, it just doesn't make sense to me.

if a christian is one who "follows christ" how does that apply to the jw's?

Does Mind Control Exist?
by Dogpatch in
1. jw
2. friends
there have been several newspaper stories published recently implying that brainwashing and mind control do not exist.

this is very unusual in that, suddenly before the trial of suspected terrorist cult members, we start seeing spontaneous articles from different news sources telling the american public that mind control does not exist.. this has happened before.

if you want to see an excellent reply to the last time a similar disinformation/misinformation campaign was activated then read the article below the dotted line.

Knock Knock...
by KistByQpid in
1. jw
2. experiences
i'd be interested in hearing some of the exjw's door-to-door experiences.

i've probably had the saturday morning door knocking...maybe 6-8 times.

i've never been "rude" except for once...when i had a particularly aggressive pair who wouldn't take "no thank you" for an answer.

1. jw
2. friends
i've been lurking here for some time now.

i'm not a jw, never been a jw, and don't plan on becoming a jw...however my life has been effected by the jw's whether i like it or not (dad's death/mom's conversion).

seems most here are exjw's or jws...so i'm not too sure if i'm welcome or not?

What's Wrong With This Picture???
by Mister Biggs in

2. current
every memorial that i ever attended, all the attendees wore serious or solemn expressions.. for crying out loud, as quoted in the friggin' article, it's supposed to be the commemoration of the death of christ!.

from all the visible faces in the pictutre below, only three appear to not be grinning.

my favorite is the guy who appears to be sleeping (he is the one to the left shoulder of the closest attendant).. .
