  Thank you so much Lets Think! I was just thinking about that quote from Plato but I couldn't remember how to find it. From the Republic isn't it? The more things change the more they stay the same eh?

  Did they say that road to nowhere? I'm not surprised! My JW sister hasn't had a working TV for over thirty years, I don't know if she looks at news online. Ignorance is bliss.

  She would have told them she has JW relatives (who have nothing to do with her) but they basically shoved a leaflet at her and left. Of all the things they could have highlighted in the world, cheeky children. Lame. They obviously know nothing of the world outside their little religion.

  Debate

  back in the day, russell and rutherford would hold debates with other religious leaders.

  why has jehovah's witnesses stopped doing that?

  i think it would be very interesting to see how they would hold up on a debate now.

  Cool! Somebody dislikes my comment that JWs don't allow anyone to ask questions because there's too many failed prophecies!

  Welcome JW lurkers, pull up a chair, read and learn. I wish you well.

  JWs don't debate their teachings, ever! When I was a teenager a girl a knew from school came to our book study group one evening. Half way through she put her hand up and said could she ask a question. No, she couldn't. The elder said she could talk to him afterwards. No one is allowed to question JW teachings now! Too many failed prophecies.

  When you missed several consecutive meetings or took a vacation did you feel "weird" when you returned?

  by Tenacious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  every now and again i would miss meetings due to health, surgeries, work etc.. when i would miss a meeting here and there i didn't particularly feel this "weirdness.".

  it wasn't until i would miss 3 or more consecutive meetings that i felt this weirdness upon entering the kh.. i can't really explain it but it feels like i was entering the kh for the first time.

  it's not like when you take a 2 week vacation and come back to work.

  Getting away from the programming is the key to recovery from the mind control. I think if you felt weird if was because you'd gone cold turkey on the cult indoctrination techniques.
