The frustration of talking to a person with a closed mind

by TheStumbler in

okay, this is going to be a bit of a general rant.

i had a long conversation with a jw elder recently about shunning and evolution.

i became qunite frustrated with the conversation and admitted this at the time.

When you realize that some people just WANT to have a closed mind you will never be frustrated again.

When you meet some people like these you better just to ignore them or just have a small talk.

You can't reason with these people.

gb member and so called "annointed" person geoffry jackson is caught red handed on video doing some worldly dancing and sexual gyrating (they have spoken against such manner of dancing on several occasions) with a woman who is not his wife!!!

i can only imagine what they do off camera now!!!.

i would not have even considerd doing such a thing on the dance floor with a woman, especially if it was not my wife, and i'm not even one of the so called "annointed" smh!!!

Someone knows the music playing? I think the music is more degrading (by JW standards) than the dance itself.

(I think it must take a sick personality to find joy when civilians are murdered. Witnesses must have flet true joy on Sept. 11th.)

I don't know what was the JW's reaction in America but I (and my entire congo) was very glad about the 9/11.

I saw it as the start of the Big A.

I saw non-JW's as dead people anyhow.

What an idiot I was...

josh here, new to the board.

glad to know this site is here.. i would not be writing this if it were not 2014. i was a ministerial servant and regular pioneer who left the jehovahs witnesses back in 1995/96, around that time.

i left suddenly, didnt fade away, just left when something clicked one day in my head during the morning shower and made me realize this religion wasnt true.

(....great posts and GET OUT OF MY HEAD! ... LOL! ....Freaky to hear what were once my thoughts that I wondered if anyone else considered and now see them here in print from others.)

That's what happens when people use logic to understand the world. Logic unites us.

No matter what language you speak, where you live, race, culture, age, sex, etc... If you use logic (even a simple one like "two true statements can't contradict one each other") you will meet a lot of people with the same conclusions, not by following orders from someone else but by following a method that really works.

Feelings and emotions are too much subjective to be use as a practical compass in an objective world.

Feelings and emotions are unique to every individual and that's the reason cults like JW.org changes a lot. Because when old bosses die their feelings and emotions die together and since they don't use any objective pattern their doctrines are changed to other subjective ones.

Feelings are just fine to be used as art like music, painting, poetry, etc... but it sucks when used to set a way of life or to explain the world.

Ironically the JW.org pretends to examine a very subjective ancient book with logical thinking.

The JW.org does not like the artistic, organic religious feeling to be developed among its members. Like venerate some exquisite catholic imagery inside heavenly cathedrals or repeat mantras until your mind reach calmness...

They just call a WT "study" as a religious experience. WTF!

{John_Mann, I was in for about the same time, but starting from 1985. I would love to hear your story some time.}

But sadly I was a born-in.

I was baptized at 13 and left with 24. And still struggling to live a normal life...

A lot of people have a full decade brainwash.

I wonder if something related to subconscious mind making a strong reality check at every 10 years...

There's an old very interesting topic about the year 1995:

1995 IMHO is the year the dream was over.

1995 is the year of my baptism and the beginning of my screwed JW adolescence.

It would take ten years to break free from Watchtower.
