  warning, this is a highly agnostic/non-believer type thread, i'm not interested in debating believers sorry.. .

  ok, so my wife has a friend through a meetup group, very nice, very generous, an md.

  very smart, well educated and then they started talking religion.

  There is a difference between being intelligent and being smart.

  You can be highly intelligent and stupid as hell at the same time.

  After twenty four years of loyal service, I am about to commit treason...

  of a sort.. i have been with the same company for 24 years, and the last 5 have not been very enjoyable for me.

  i like the owner of the company, but the management team is terrible, and the dept.

  i work in (tech service) is demoralized.

  Thinking about how this will pan out and being concerned with the aftermath is only natural. You've been somewhere for a long time, are comfortable, have built relationships and are feeling that somehow you owe a bit of loyalty, but think about it this way, if your boss was more loyal to his employees, he'd pay them what they're worth and hire new recruits that weren't slackers or idiots; the door goes both ways.

  Take the new job and live YOUR life to the fullest.

  Congrats!

  I got your "repetition for emphasis" joke.

  You were just trying to stress that the new convert had to be of sound working mind, have more cognitive ability than a child, own a brain in good condition and know how to use all of the above; so retarded, crazy, brain dead/damaged, emotionally disturbed, vulnerable nuts would be disqualified.

  So come on dubbies, this should be easy enough if jaybooger and his holey-speared-shit is with you, right?

  How I am like so many soldiers and gays...and you prob are too..."not that there is anything wrong with that"

  i have been in quite a bit of therapy and was once on 6 psych meds at one time!...got off them too...but i took two psychiatric tests by two docs and they both diagnosed me with ptsd...like we think of with soldiers who have been traumatize and have trouble dealing with it....and there are certain triggers they may have to avoid...and yep my jw triggers are still right in my face everyday.... and if you don't think there is a reason many gays "stay in the closet" it is because they have sooooo much to lose by "coming out" sometimes....(just like us)...friends, family, jobs, prestiege, others respect....and not only that but they are part of the few that really "get it"............oompa.

  I'm sorry to hear of your struggle; this cult creates massive slow healing wounds that leave scars, so although some may get past their ordeal quicker than others, we all are permanently affected by the battle.

  I have an eating disorder and, like you, my triggers are shoved in my face everyday. I'm still in at the moment but know that this cult is the root of my disorder; my mom or sister talking about jaybooger or the borg, meetings, assemblies, service, pretty much anything WT/JW and the pressures that go along with trying to remain "active" are all triggers, so how am I supposed to heal when my abuser is still breathing down my neck?

  I hope you can overcome, or at the very least be able to manage your present in light of, your past.

  I had an argument with a woman who said she won $160 at a casino.

  I asked her how much she had to spend/gamble to get that and she said "$100"

  I then replied, "So you only really won $60"

  She said, "No I won $160"

  I said "well I was figuring the $100 you already spent and then got returned, so you only came out $60 ahead of what you originally had right?"

  By then she was getting irritated and said, "I don't know why you can't understand that I WON $160, sheesh."

  I then replied, "Ok, well congrats anyway" and did a face palm in my mind.

  shaking hands

  by man in black in

  when i was a witness ( esp.

  as a youth) it seemed that whenever i went to a meeting, or assembly.

  i would send an incredible amount of time shaking hands.

  I'm a woman so I haven't quite had this problem, but when any witless men do want to shake my hand I squeeze HARD and they never do it again. BTW I have really strong hands and arms and can squeeze the dickens out of wimpy toilet scrubbing JW hands.

  What I get annoyed with more are the half-ass hugs; what do you miss/like me enough to touch me but not enough to fully hug me? Did no one tell them that pretending to "show affection" by sideways hugging is odd and kind of insulting?

  Has anybody given any thought for Calebs freind ?

  by smiddy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after all, this unidentified freind of caleb gives him a toy, which calebs mom finds objectionable , shouldn`t she just have said to caleb ,give it back to your freind ?

  and not dump it in the trash can ?

  what sort of a message does that send to caleb (or any other children who watch this video ) calebs mom should have acknowledged that his freind gave him a present, and it should be appreciated , not to disrespectfully throw it away in the trash can with no thought to the giver of the present.. smiddy.

  My first thought was "did his friend really give him the toy or just lend it to him?" because children usually say a kid gave them something when they just lent them something.

  Caleb's Mom should have asked that first; what's gonna happen if the toy was borrowed? Will the other child's parents now call demanding she buy their kid a new toy thus forcing Caleb's Mom to actually go to the store, use her own money and purchase a magical wizard doll?

  What's going to happen when he goes back to school the next day and he's asked where the toy is, or if he likes it? Is Caleb going to tell his friend that it was demonized, but it's now ok because we threw it in the neighbor’s trash?

  And what lesson does this teach Caleb, that nothing a worldly person gives you has any value or that your worldly friends feelings don't matter?

  This video is extremely demeaning to the poor little boy who was just trying to be nice, and be Caleb's friend.

  2. experiences

  when any group like religious ones tells their members that they are not allowed to question their authority and directives and infomation / teachings ,.......................then red flags should pop up all over town people,and this signals a cult or cult like practices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  !espcially when the gb tell jws that they are not allowed to surf the internet freely,then they have something to hide from ok,and what their hiding from is 130 years of lies and false prophecies and tons of corruptions in their little shop of horrors down there in nyc,,,hehehe lol,,,but it's not so funny people!anyone can easily read all about the trash that comes from this mind control cult!.

  The GB would love it if they could keep us in a heightened state of paranoia over anything non-WT.

  However it only takes a few seconds and the click a mouse to realize that NO ONE is out to "get you".
