Pepperoni is where it's at. No other toppings are needed as far as im concerned. The best pizza's are in authentic Italian restraunts though, not from a "Hut" or delivery service.
Cor, i couldn't half go for one of these right now...

Sex before marriage
by Jules Saturn infor ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.
what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?
in western society, youâll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.

I have more sex now as a single male than I ever did in my JW marriage!
Did the Watchowerism fuck with my mind after leaving? Yes! It was hard to shake the feeling that i was doing something "wrong" even though I became an atheist and see marriage as basically a modern day sale/contract.

Hi guys.
As some of you may be aware, I'm currently studying in Uni part time training to become a therapist and councilor for ex-cult victims. My goal is to be the vest best therapist I can be, specifically for ex-Witnesses (because I can relate completely), and I plan to incorporate hypnotherapy in my therapy sessions.
I have already trained in hypnosis, however I'm not trained in hypnosis for therapy. Nor am I licensed to practice it in therapeutic work.
I'm hoping you can help me to change that. There is a course starting in March 2019 which will last until October 2019 which will train me to be a fully qualified, fully licensed hypnotherapist. With these skills under my belt, coupled with the training I'll receive from my University course, I'll be able to treat anxiety, depression, low self esteem, suicidal tendencies, self harm, traumatic memories and other types of abuse we're all familiar with.
Watchtower won't beat us. I plan to offer my services to ex-Witnesses for free. Without funding help it'd be impossible for me to fund this course myself - in fact it'd mean waiting another 6 years and then starting it, by which point many ex-members will have come out and go into therapy with therapists who just arnt familiar with what it's like being an ex-witness.
If you can help me I'd be eternally grateful.

The announcement will be that Tony Morris has a new live-in Filipino houseboy to "help him". Surely this is a fulfillment of some prophecy they've just pulled out of their ass.

How were Godâs true worshipers to determine virginity of pagan girls?
by Ireneus inin the genocidal instructions supposedly given by god we find this interesting command: ânow kill all the boys.
and kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.â (numbers 31:17, 18).
in the midst of killing and plundering, how were the israelites to determine whether each girl âhas slept with a manâ or not?.
-

Dueteronomy 22:15-17 indicates a "test". If your bride didn't bleed afterwards then she wasn't a virgin.
Its likely that in this case if the girl that was raped by the Israelite didn't bleed then she'd be killed.
Horrific isn't it?

Smart Phones and Tablets Turning JW's Into Dummies
by scotoma inlook up the article in the wall st journal "how smartphones hijack our minds".
a flood of evidence has come in that people are outsourcing their thinking to their electronic devices.
when you feel you will always be able to look up important information on your cell phone you simply don't remember it.

How Would You Prove To A JW That They Are Wrong?
by minimus inwhat could you say to prove to a witness that they simply do not have the truth?.
-
-
pale.emperor
At the end of the day, it takes the JW to become fed up or angry at the elders or something in the congregation to jolt them out of it for a split moment. It's at this moment where they may look at this site of JWFact.com.
When I was in I had an answer for everything to protect the Watchtower and my own sanity.

How many wrongs make a right?
by eyeuse2badub incame across this little gem while my wife was "digging for bible gems" in her weekly meeting preparation.
nothing new but i gently pointed it out to her as a reminder that bible reading can be hazardous to your mental health!.
do 2 (or 3, or 4) wrongs, make a right?

David get called out in front of all Israel, he gets to see his wives get raped in âbroad daylightâ
Here is a little more research on the incident in historical context.
Perry, that whole artical is worse than I thought. Women being forced into marriage to make alliances? Was the girls permission or will even considered? Oh but god is "so kind" to put them into a harem (translation: sex slave). How can and all knowing, all wise, all loving, all kind deity have the brain sense of a bronze age man?

What is the current pulse in the organization with the reductions?
by SouthCentral ini have not seen jehovahâs witnesses in my neighborhood for several years now.
it appears that the cart witnessing has taken over.
congregations are being consolidated and witnesses are being forced to travel a greater distance than before.the burdens/privileges of elders seem to be ever increasing!.

Healing & Rebuilding Your Life - Feedback Wanted
by jp1692 ini have been invited to speak at an international cultic studies association workshop this fall.
i could use your help in focusing on my presentation subject.. these workshops are for former members of any cult or other high-control, authoritarian group, not just jehovah's witnesses.
last year, i spoke at one of their larger conferences in europe.

If it were me i'd order them like this:
- Discovering Your Authentic Self - (personal identity)
- Dealing With Isolation and Loneliness (shunning)
- The Five Stages of Grief/loss (KĂźbler-Ross model)
- Treatments & Interventions - seeking treatments from working with mental health professionals to self-help
- Examining Our Beliefs: Identifying the false and harmful (dysfunctional) core beliefs which are the root cause of our on-going difficulties after leaving
- Psychoeducation - this is closely related to #2 above, but is frankly more technical
Although all of them are important, it'd be difficult to cover all of them sufficiently in 20mins so i'd go for the top two there.
Discovering your authentic self: Reason being, so many ex-JWs i speak to tell me that they're still "finding themselves", and about 90% of them slip up and still say things like "when i was in the truth...". The loaded language is still there, and until it's removed they'll still have some sort of psychological/emotional connection to the cult. The advice I give to ex-members is to "go nuts". Take a week or even a month of doing all the things you wanted to do but were never allowed to. You'll learn which things you like and which things you dont like. And now, at least you'll have your own reasons for not doing X, Y and Z rather than "the Watchtower said". Also studying anything/everything that interests you too. You'll discover the real you and hobbies/skills you didn't know you even had.
Dealing with isolation/loss is a very important one. In fact, it's one of the reasons many people dont even bother leaving. The fear of the unknown, uncertainty if they'll ever find friends or have their own family. It also helps them to convince themselves it's "the truth" when they're facing cognitive dissonance.
