Panthers: Rule #1 Keep quiet in front of elders.
#2 Keep quiet in front of other JWs.
You can try to fade by becoming less active, skip meetings etc...you will be considered as spiriyually weak.
Take care

Newcomers to TTATT: Beware of "New Study Mode"!
by Londo111 inweve all heard it.
a person starts studying with jehovahs witnesses and love what they are learning so much that they cant stop talking about it.
bubbling with enthusiasm, they spill everything they are learning with their friends and family...or anybody who will listen.

This has to do with psychology more than facts. A cognitive dissonant person is not able to rational reasoning.
But, one thing that surprises me is that when a JW apologist writes something on this board, he/she gets bombarded with facts about the UN scandal, false prophecies etc........and he'll get scared back to the borg.

Who knows? It could be so, but I'm not sure.
I don't like calling people "troll" before we are absolutley sure.
Some weeks ago we had a chat with Panthers "real self". Since then we've mostley observed his "cult self"/JW-personality. But the fact that hecomes back here is interesting. It could be that he doesn't dare being honest......., but just repeating cult mantra.
Go for it Panthers, you dared to talk to me and to putlaw some weeks ago. Did we scare you that much`?

That's fine Panther..you cannot stay away from this board......it's understandable.
But, most of us has experienced a lot.....you don't have to use those mantras here. Almost everyone will look through you if you do. I hope you know that you can post your real thoughts and questions here. And I know that you'll get honest replies.
But, I understand...cognitive dissonance can be hard...

Sooo, you need to be protected from the world? Well well, that can be done in a lot of ways , in an asylum or in any other kind of cult! You can live in a tent in a forest.
I might be naive, but I don't think you are pranking us. I think you got terrible cold feet.
How's the ice-hockey thing going? Have you been protected from that ice-hockey yet?

Discussion with some elders
by GoUnion inhello everyone just wanted to relate a situation that occurred a few days ago.
so i have quit going to meetings for a few months now based on some issues i have with the explanations of current doctrines.
my wife is none too happy with this but over the last few months we have had some date nights and have tentitively agreed to disagree.

GoUnion, don't be that naive. The reason that they are listening to you is to get you into a JC. It's just a matterof time before you will be DF'ed. Try just to keep your mouth shut when socializing with elders.

Advice, TTATT or Bible
by Crazyguy ini really starting to see the problems with the bible and it being influenced by other cultures, religions and also the fact that many of the books or letter were written after the fact or so called prophecy.
so i am wondering would it work better to try to wake my children to ttatt about the jw cult or work on destroying the bible and its credibility?
which do you think would work better??

"I personally started to doubt the topic of universal sovereignty, and also whether God answered prayers. Yet did not question the Governing Body. It took a range of information to finally get throug"
An interesting observation. You had doubts about God, but not ov the GB. I think this is not unusual among JWs. Therefor I repeat that it's better to question tnh bible or God, than attacking the organisation. Questioning the GB is the most "apostate" thing one can do, and it will only provoke the cognitive dissonance.

the bible and its prophecies
by Crazyguy ini have been doing a lot of research on the bible and its roots so to speak and its becoming clearer that the jews like other races took gods and stories from others and made them their own.
its also become clear that many of the books were written later then stated, like daniel probably written about a hundred years before christ and some of it maybe even after.
but what i don't get is the prophecies.

"After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air."
"We".....so Paul expected to sail away on the clouds in his lifetime...the most prolofic writer in the NT did that mistake! How on earth can a sensible person believe on word of that nonsence.........
.....meeting dead people in the clouds...that's even more........you know what!

Good thing to scare the S''T out of that monk. :-)
Anyhow, maybe some of us are prone to seek the profound. I myself know that I have had that problem. But, nevertheless I am sure that most of us wuold be much more happier if we just skip such things. As long as we can afford it , sex and drugs and rock'n roll is the best therapy in life.
As XJWs I think we better stay away from anything spiritual. But, OK maybe that tantra thing can be good.

I would propose the other way. For a true JW it harder to accept TTATT than criticism of the bible. To be critical of the organisation is considered very apostateand activates a lot of alarm bells.
