I don't think anything can help when you are in..

I saw this thing on how belief systems work.. and it says that everyone has a core belief that is most important.. then they make everything ..

fit, That and support it.. a person has to really want to find the truth and be willing to accept it it even if it contradics what they currently hold so dear..

My dad always told me "you can't change anyone ...you can help them if they want to change.. and it is diffecult to change even if you want to"

most relationships fail because most people don't get this and they try to change each other.. and it never works..

good luck

checklist of characteristics.

deception lies at the core of mind-manipulating and high-demand ("cultic") groups and programs.

many members and supporters of these groups/movements are not fully aware of the extent to which they have been abused and exploited.

Question for Believers: Is there a Maximum Age for Becoming a True Believer?

by Yan Bibiyan in

i started with christians in mind, but broadened the scope to include all faiths.. question is posed to help solve a dilemma:.

if yes what is that age and what is the scriptural basis.. if no why do believers insist on forcing their children to become believers at a very young age?

if when they turn adults and decide that they want to worship a particular deity, that deity will welcome them regardless of age.. without a doubt, the mind of a child is like a sponge and activities and surrounding at a young age leave a lasting impression on the path to adulthood.. if we, as parents, are striving to provide a well-balanced upbringing, strive to teach our children diversity, insist on or live to provide a better life for our offspring, why on earth are we indoctrinating them with a set of one-sided values that are often tattooed on them for life?.

the answer is no..

a young mind is easily molded

No one who leaves "the truth" is ever happy?

by El_Guapo in

jw
friends

for years, i was told this..... " anyone who leaves the org is bitter, sad, and worse off, why do you think they come back???

guess what guys i am the opposite, now i quit cold-turkey (looking back, i should have faded correctly) i am planning on going to the memorial this month just to hear all "the friends" tell me how much they missed me.

since i have left the meetings, (jan. was my last meeting, i think).
