“Yes! I loved it!!! That's where I stole the phrase”.
I take you never read the story I posted about my two week consulting trip to Bethel did you? Hearing the term “talking snake” and “a naked lady eating a piece of fruit” said out loud changed my life.
Sometimes I think Bill Maher stole my brain. I love the guy.

DJK,
“Seven, does that mean they believe in the talking snake?”
Yes they do, but the snake did his talking right here in the good old US states of America (I just loved miss teen South Carolina). It’s where the Garden of Eden actually was.
It’s true. That’s what Joseph Smith said. Here in America. Honest!I think he did a little bibble plagiarizing in the Book of Mormon.
Did you catch Bill Maher’s reference to the “talking snake” on Friday night during his last Real Time with Bill Maher show on HBO?
It really cracked me up. -

Vinny, You are right. I spellded it all wrongly did't I? Good catch! Did you catch any more?
Did it get your attention beyond the obvious spelling mistake?
Reneeisorym and SPAZnik, Thank you. I enjoy posting there and getting to know them. They are great people. Very much like the group here but without all Christian vs. Atheist or dirt vs. monkey flame throwing.
Next I move to posting on “Operation Clambake” (the ex-scientologist DB). That’s a little more self concerning. Those who openly oppose Scientology keep ending up mysteriously suasided.

Thank you for your link. I think instead of writing something in the sarcastic manner I usually do to express my contempt for the Printing Company’s bull shit, I’ll just say a little bit first, give credit where credit is due and post your link. Thanks.

Vinny,
You are right. The Mormons and the JW’s are very much alike. Not at all in their dogma but more in the programming techniques used to infuse such garbage into the minds of the bungled and botched. The good old free bible study trick.
Just like the JW’s, it is a totalitarian existence where no one will ever completely measure up, never question authority, and the rank and file follower knows little to nothing about their “real” history. Just the twisted and flip flopped BS from their PR department.
Just like the JWs, the Mormons are totally unreceptive and blinded to the overwhelming volumes of evidence that keeps piling up that completely shows the storybook of Mormon written by the snake oil salesman Joseph Smith to be absolute and totally made up bullshit.
The evidence exposing the book of Mormon SS (sheep shit) is even more overwhelming and easier to expose than the JW SS.
I’m jealous. They at least got to go to college!

DJK,
Thank you for the link. I didn’t remember the other scriptures that were posted on that link. That will help. I appreciate it.
The ex-Mormons will appreciate the information too, they all think the JW’s are all a bunch of brainwashed sock puppets, just like the Mormons are. The ex-Scientologist won’t give a whatever.

The “I think I’m dieing” part is for all the new bees. All the old bees know I’m rarely ever serious. But, as long as you have read this far…..
For quite a while now I have been reading a few of the ex-Scientologist and ex-Mormon discussion boards. For a month or so I have been posting on the postmormon.org board.
http://www.postmormon.org/exp_e/index.php/discussions/viewthread/7107/
I am doing this in an effort to better understanding the similarities between the three ex-factor groups as well as the similarities in the programming and to-die-for convictions between the three American made cult like minority religions they and we all left.
In a simi-quid-pro-quo scenario I am answering questions about the JW teachings and asking them questions about the Mormon church. I am not interest in dogma specific questions (I’m not concerned with comparisons of who believed the stupidest line of sheep shit) but more about the style of teaching/indoctrination/programming that absolutely made them feel at one time that they had (as they call it) “The Truth”(sound familiar?)about the “one and only TRUE religion on the face of the earth”.
You can cut and paste the following link to see my post about the JW birthday ban. They wanted to know.
http://www.postmormon.org/exp_e/index.php/discussions/viewthread/7016/
Like the post I made about birthdays, I need a little “official scripture” help about the blood ban scripture amalgamations. Specifically the “do not eat the blood because it holds the life” one after Noah Flintstone parked his zoo ship on top of a mountain.
I have been out for so long I am fortunate enough to have most all of that crap out of my memory. That, and I have not owned a bible or had one in my house for over 20 years.
So, if someone can help me out with the Watchtower official scripture and or scriptures (I forget) I will greatly appreciate it. Inquiring ex-Mormon minds want to know.
I will post it on the post-Mormon board a few days after they are all done talking about the FLDS temple bust.
Thank you,

INPUT NEEDED ON JW BELIEFS
by Mary ini'm at the beginning of putting a package together regarding the wts and i'd like your opinion on which topics i should include.
basically, this would be a package for those who have family or friends in the borg, but who you think might listen to reason if it was presented in the right fashion.
it's not going to be a huge package, because i don't want to overwhelm anyone, but i want the information to be precise enough that it would stop and make them think.. so far, i'm thinking that i'd like to touch on the following:.

Mary,
You are dealing with programmed minds. When you are trying to reason with someone like that you need to find some common ground for them to agree with you on "first" that does not shut their information receptors off and automatically reject the information you are trying present.
You said “Basically, this would be a package for those who have family or friends in the Borg, but who you think might listen to reason if it was presented in the right fashion”
Are you talking about people who are “not” a JW but have family in? Or are you talking about those who are in, but are already having problems with the organization and are starting to develop critical thinking skills?
Are you going to try and target your package to any “seemingly” diehard JWs or just ones who already have one foot out the door in hopes they will pass it on to their family and friends?” In other words is your “main objective” to present this “only” for the benefit of the “questioning” JW or for them to use in trying to convince their “still in” die hard relatives and friends about the information that is presented?
The topic list that you have mentioned and has been added to in this thread looks to be made up of topics that can kick in that auto reaction subconscious programming. Not that they are bad topics at all but they might only be received well by those who are already half way out and already have a common ground perspective. If that is your “only” targeted market, then these are good but if you want to go deeper into the really die hard programmed JW mind, then these topics presented directly with out first tying to reach a common ground for agreement might give you the opposite effect you are hopping for.
Members of ALL the American made cult like minority religions were programmed in a very similar manner and to identical depths of intensity. They all automatically shut their programmed reasoning ability off when they are confronted with what they understand to be confrontational apostate propaganda no matter how factual it is or how much you can prove it. More for the die hard JW but the programmed auto response factor still subconsciously kicks in for those who are questioning and are "just beginning" to use some critical thinking skills.
It is exactly like the programmed responses of Pavlov’s dogs. It is a subconsciously triggered automatic reaction.
Just a thought.

Shropshire Star news editor examines issues behind death of JW Emma Gough
by AndersonsInfo inshropshire starapril 9, 2008. why would loving faith allow death?.
features news editor neil thomas examines the issues behind the tragic death of new mum emma gough.. words written by heaven knows who and attributed to moses have brought about the apparently needless death of a young shropshire mother, and blighted many other lives, more than 3,000 years later.. far-fetched, possibly.
yet, how else are we to interpret the death of emma gough?.
