  Have you ever given CoC to a JW to read? Or any other "red pill" book?

  i recently ordered a copy of coc for my wife.

  she doesn't know it exists, but i'm hoping she's ready to read it.

  it seems to be the best red pill out there.

  Wifey is getting into audiobooks...

  by Captain Obvious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i'm a huge audible fan.

  i'm always plowing through an audiobook about history, religion, science or money.

  imo, no one could ever read/listen to my library and continue to be religious or ignorant of natural history.

  Ideas to wake up the JW 'Feelers'

  by Captain Obvious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a great point was made by neverknew on another thread about certain doctrinal issues will cause a 'thinker' to wake up, but a 'feeler' will just shrug and carry on.

  the feeler jw is often not stupid, but intellectually lazy.

  they will often not bother to do research, whatever is said from the platform is fine.

  they just left.

  we had a nice "encouraging" chat about my inactivity.

  they went through the usual guilt routine, that didnt seem to work so they turned to fear.

  Wife's FS report for last month... Zero!

  by Captain Obvious in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i could just be reading too far into this but... even with plenty of opportunities and time to go, she didn't seem to make it out last month.

  last night she said she was gonna go out today (the 1st) but... she's downstairs at the moment sipping coffee watching tv.

  a few weeks ago on the long drive back from the assembly we talked about fs.
