Thank you Glander for the shongs.
I'm going out now, but don't worry. I have my Shun-screen on!
yes shunning is good for you!
i did not understand this before, but i know it now.
sometimes when i'm feeling a little down-in-the-dumps, a little depressed, i go outside for a little fresh air and some shun-shine.
read this lovely little admission and judge for yourself: .
there is a differencea big differencebetween education and propaganda.
education shows you how to think.
i gave the talk last week on the meaning of the memorial emblems in the 'b' school.
(included subtle 'seeds' as well) i was puzzled to see a member of the service committee come in as part of the spectator group, because he never leaves his family to come into the 'b' school.
(i was wondering if i'd been deliberately assigned the material, to test me).
Just because you're paranoid does NOT mean they aren't out to get you!
Seriously, what does it tell you about this religion that you even HAVE these kinds of thought?
Indoctrinated phobias are just one of the many tools in the WT Manipulation & Control Toolkit.
Let's review: It's a cult!
fortunately, i don't have an arrest record.. but i was arrested one day walking through a parking lot when a young woman was struggling to exit her low-slung sports car with no knickers on..

FadeToBlack: Imagine if we had congregations where people actually discuused stuff like we do here. I would actually want to go to those meetings.
Um, yeah! Imagine ...
BTW, there's no need to lie. You read that article online, here at jw.org:
It's the very first paragraph in the article, the last in a series of three on the subject. Here's the whole thing for your abusement:
THERE is a difference—a big difference—between education and propaganda. Education shows you how to think. Propaganda tells you what to think. Good educators present all sides of an issue and encourage discussion. Propagandists relentlessly force you to hear their view and discourage discussion. Often their real motives are not apparent. They sift the facts, exploiting the useful ones and concealing the others. They also distort and twist facts, specializing in lies and half-truths. Your emotions, not your logical thinking abilities, are their target.
Creepy, isn't it, once you know TTATT. In that paragraph they out-and-out say exactly what they do!
Couldn't be any clearer than that.

so today one of the local elders came around to "check out how you are doing.".
i didn't really feel like putting up with the interrogation, or the false concern so i decided that i didn't "hear" the doorbell.
the guy decided he needed to circle my home and peek in the windows to see if i was home or not.
