Left in the cold.
I could not find "Combatting Cult Mind Control" in the KOBO site anywhere.
Would it be possible to show me where it is?

Greetings! From an Existent JW!
by Ethos ini'd like extend a greeting to all members of jwn.
i've been a lurking by-stander of this forum for approximately 6 months.
i think this forum's best moments can be attributed to the involvement of actual jw's in doctrinaire discussions and to heated (though not always dialectic) debates.

Hi Ethos,.
I just wanted to know if you were aware of Russell believing that 1874 was the actual year that Jesus came back invisibly and 1914 was originally thought to the end of all human governments?
Also, again, be sure to check out JWFACTS.com and also another great site in addition to this one is www.jehovahswitnessrecovery.com
I can't wait to see what you think about the things that you will learn about while hear, in other words, how far can your cognitive dissonance go before you either flee, or accept what we have had to swallow to lose the dissonance.

I had to order mine through Barnes and Nobles, was not able to get a download copy.
Here is a link that the authors site www.freedomofmind.com has as a source to purchase this book through.
Hope this helps, also let us know what you think about it.
Another book that will help remove some fears is Captives of a Concept by Don Cameron
http://captivesofaconcept.com/index_for_site_all.html
Hope these help.

I would think it would be easy to show different artwork to users from different parts of the earth using the Ip adresses, although I'm not entirely sure why they would want to do something like this.

I think it is true, just coming to the realization that we were duped by a cult can make you look a little bonkers for a bit.
Some radical thoughts, saying things to current JWs that make you look a little bit, well, crazy from our point of view is very understandable, from theirs we look a bit crazy just like the WTBTS says we will.
When talking to some Elders who wound up at my door a few months ago I was supposed to say " I'm depressed, blah blah blah," Had it planned out and all and then when they said certain things I was not able to hold back and while maintaining my composure I did kinda let them know that I did not agree with them.
I'm sure to THEM I looked and acted a little bit weird saying the things that I said.
So yes, I think that going a bit nuts is almost mandatory to get it all out.

And according to the NEw Shepherd the Flock I think that you can even appeal it a 2nd time. I know that there is a statement about appealing again and the book says not to mention this option to the alleged sinner.
I'm running out the door now or would look it up.

1. High Control Groups AKA WTBTS
2. Warts
3. ( Please share your ideas as to what you do not want to see grow)

Can you list watchtower articles that claim anything from the 'faithful slave' should be taken as from jehovah himself?
by EndofMysteries injust a few wts that put to the effect anything from them should be taken as from jehovah himself and also with elders or being disfellowshipped, that it means jehovah himself is angry with them, that's it's punishment from him.
