Mind control.
by New day inin a recent thread someone mentioned that the wtbts uses mind control techniques.
do you think this is a conscious ploy?
if it is it would mean that the leaders of my religion (i am still an active jw) set out consciously to control people.

Great post, magnum! They are so much like the government of North Korea. I saw a documentary where western doctors came in to do a simple operation on blind North Koreans to restore their sight..a common operation in developed countries. There was a big show of what a miracle Kim Jong il had done for them. Oh THANK you Kim jong il!!!! They didn't know it was a common operation in the west, they only were told this miracle was a gift from their Dear Leader.
The half truths, outright lies, special lingo, lack of freedom, propaganda, controlled media, blind worship of their leaders and believing anything they say...or else....and you can't escape without losing everything.

by Garrett inguys,.
don't tell the elders, buuuuut, i sorta kinda maybe never contributed money....ever..... i always thought - hey, i give a lot of my time and energy to the org, so that's how i contribute.

A hundred bucks a month, mostly going into local expenses.
i loved our local cong, and miss the people very much. feel bad to have abandoned them especially when some reached out unhypocritically to keep connections going. But I just had to move on with my life. Wish they could be free too.

Witnesses judge every day, they are the most judgmental people in town!
Ironically, my mother says she can't serve on a jury because it would hurt her conscience to judge another person.

They write things in their personal elders books that are not printed. They are told to write these more stringent rules when they go to their elders conventions. You know the manual they handed over isn't one that had writing in it. -

POLL: Will You Be Attending The Memorial & If You Are---Why?
by minimus ini was just invited.
i thanked my old elder friend and he left.
(i'm not going).

Nope, but I do partake monthly at my church and even sometimes give communion to some of the elderly who can't make it because they are stuck at home. <3 there is absolutely nothing to miss by missing the witness memorial. It's an empty, awkward ceremony based on a bizarre interpretation of scripture. -

Yeah, and never change your mind and decide you should not have joined, because if you do change your mind, you will lose all your family and anyone you have ever been allowed to associate with.
Wow what a loving 'arrangement' that would be!!! Should we write that as a warning when people register here?? Or just catch them unawares?
oh, wait.., we're not a cult.

Don't go to jw's, that's for sure. Don't worry about hełł either.
I found God in the New Testament book of John, but please take your time. You shouldn't feel anxiety about this. You have all the time in the world, and if you decide you don't know what to believe in, that's ok too. You are very blessed to have such supportive parents!! Relish that. Very few of us were in that situation.

For all still in.... fakers. Help.
by Sofia Lose inam i alone in this feeling?
i wish i could muster the cojones needed to tell my husband "i want a divorce, move away, not be a jw anymore!".
i find myself screaming these same words over and loud inside my mind, several times a day, and yet on the outside my actions could not be more opposed to these inner feelings.. sometimes i worry that this internal conflict will cause me to go crazy.

Keep working on your husband. And be patient. If you still love him.
Yep, some days of faking it are much worse than others. I'm sorry you are going through this now. I remember it. It's hell!!
