Whatta jerk! He can disagree with the President, fine! That's his right. But let's keep the debate above board and based on facts, not on name-calling and innuendos that are merely race-baiting!

stomach issues getting worse
by StopTheTears ini have not been able to post for a while due to my health issues.
i am in need of prayers because i am still having problems with diarrhea and very bad stomach cramps every single day that will not go away and my gastro doctor has taken me through stool tests and x-ray tests and cannot find out what is causing the diarrhea at all and i have been crying because the diarrhea is very bothersome.
i also need some prayers because i really need to know someone that has gone through the rny gastric bypass surgery and has had their gall bladder removed because i have a lot of questions.

Wife has been suffering with stomach problems and have been through the ringer of tests in the last few months, too. So sorry you're going through this!
Have you taken a hydrogen breath test? It can be done at home where you drink a solution and blow into tubes, then you ship them to the lab for analysis. There are usually three given: Fructose, Glucose, and Lactose. These are checked for malabsorption and the glucose test also checks for a SIBO bacterial infection. Best of luck and hang in there!

What Makes a Person Vulnerable to Join a Cult ? By Steve Hassan
by flipper inmost of us often wonder with amazement how we ever got caught up in the jehovah's witnesses mind control after having been out for awhile.
and we still wonder how some of our relatives stay trapped inside it.
well, steve hassans book " releasing the bonds " explains briefly in chapter 4 how it can happen.

Thanks for bumping this as I had missed it in the past! And thanks for being you Flipper!
As far as the topic goes, I was a born-in, so I ended up in the cult by no choice of my own. In retrospect, I know for a fact that my mind was sculpted in a manner that simply didn't allow it to go certain places. I feel that it was in a numbed state where I didn't really feel a lot of highs or lows. I NEVER felt aware of God, or had any real convictions, so the strategy of keeping a follower from doing much critical thinking I think backfired.
As soon as my wife (also a born-in) and I got out on our own, we got spotty in our meeting attendance and field service. It only got worse as time went on, yet we still never really made a mental connection why it wasn't our priority for many years! We went through the motions and would still feel guilt, especially after hints dropped by our family or after an assembly or convention pump-fest. Yet, we would go right back to an erratic routine.
What finally did it for me (and at least partly for my wife) was when my sister stopped being a witness. She was a few years older and had been a pretty zealous witness. When she had some serious marital problems, she abruptly stopped all spiritual activities. I understood completely that she was emotionally vulnerable and needed all the help she could get! When all of her "so-called" friends and family began washing their hands of her so quickly (despite the fact she was neither DFed or DAed) I was outraged! That was when she needed help the most! And the language was slippery enough that I didn't see it clear-cut that you would shun a person who showed weakness or who had fallen away! In fact, the only place I really found it clearly and in black and white was in the elders' secret manual, which I of course didn't have access to at the time!
It took me months and months, and a lot of searching, questioning, and wondering to finally figure out where the real evil sprouted from and that I could no longer condone what they mandated! Not even with my minimal spiritual routine! I could no longer be a warm body in a chair bolstering their statistics and perpetuating the WT's sense of self-righteous! Never again, and we have never looked back, and never doubted for a minute that listening to our doubts and getting out was the right thing to do!
Happy Saturday to All of YOU!!!

In memory of...
by hartstrings ini was reviewing some ex-scientology sites and on one site they have a "morgue.
" in it, they give the names of all the people who have died due to scientology.
it made me think that it would be neat if we could set up a "in memorium" board for all those who have lost their life due to jws screwed up policies - blood, organ failure, suicide, etc.

I can think of two from the site here: Oompa and J-ex-W. Both took their own lives due to the pain caused by the destructive WT Cult. RIP Friends...... NR

The Seeker Speaks
by Farkel in"when a person does what he always does, he will get what he always gets.".
wise words, those.
i have discovered after six-and-a-half decades that those who say they have found the truth, the way, the path for themselves and for all mankind, they are full of shit.

Just wanted you to know, none of you are intriguing. Rather, you're all quite repulsive.
by Theocratic Sedition innot saying that's my personal opinion, but this week's congregation bible study asks the viewpoint question, "would apostate literature or internet sites intrigue you or repulse you?
"- jeremiah book, page 70, para 7. .
gotta love it.. i guess apostate sites are like crime scenes.

I couldn't watch it for more than a bit either! I thought the narration was really corny and the accents of the actors really diminished from it. I remarked to my wife that I couldn't believe they would spend so much money on such a lame production. Too bad! I was excited to watch it but will not see anymore of it.

Thanks for sharing NVR and everyone! It's amazing what it sometimes takes to open a person's eyes! For us, it was the revelation that you can't simply fall away. My sister had her life turned upside down and she stopped attending meetings very abruptly. When everyone else stared treating her very badly, I was confused and angry at everyone! She hadn't been disfellowshipped and she hadn't disassociated herself so why were they still slinking away from her? It took me a long time to find articles that justified their actions which set off an alarm bell for us!
