... the walls are transparent.

so if you want to help the fly escape you first have to convince the fly that it's in a bottle, and only then can it find its way out.

that is taken from this american life episode 635 called "chip in my brain".

That was an awesome episode.

A one-on-one cult dynamic.

so, apparently, there is an organization which provides structure, curriculum, etc.

for home-schooling of jw kids:.

For all their indoctrination, I'm glad my parents sent me to public school. Of course, they disallowed college and discouraged any preparatory courses that led in that direction. And as long as I didn't get Fs, they realize didn't care about my grades (getting Fs would've been a bad witness and all that).

Whatever gets a JW to read the Golden Age magazine.

There are so many lovely articles how there is no such thing as gravity, about wood and glass atoms, and all sorts of "advanced" medical advice like diagnosing and curing diseases with radio waves, radium belts, and so forth.

What was your trigger to waking up ?

by CovertsadJW in

good afternoon , .

i wanted to ask everyone here , what was your trigger to waking up ?

i have been waking up for a long time , but in looking back it’s hard for me to look at one event and say “ ah ha “ , i think mine is like a slow leak - like a crack in a damn - and then hold on , because after that it’s just a flood of information.
