yes, it’s donald trump’s problem and he has no idea of how to take care of this!
and he gets his vp mike pence to oversee this situation.
donald trump doesn’t care about who could get this virus.
minimus: This problem is certainly something that should be tackled by both parties in unison. It should not be a political issue.
Agreed.
And of course it's not Trump's fault, but it would be prudent to appoint qualified people to address the situation, not a couple of finance guys and then hope for "a miracle."
That's just irresponsible.
i was thinking about this at work the other day, and realized the one positive thing i can truly credit the jws with: .
i have no fear of public speaking.
i was a shy kid, fat, clumsy, with crooked glasses and worse teeth, who wore hand-me-downs in one of the wealthiest counties in all of america, who sat still while classmates got up to salute the flag or recite the pledge of allegiance.
I was 3 grades ahead of other kids in school with my reading.
That could only be true for children in grades 3 or 4 and below as the WT and all JW publications (in the last few decades) are written at a 6th or 7th grade level.
we hear how the economy is much healthier now.
are you better off than you were before, or the same or worse?

Yes it can, Minimus. Yes it can!

Much, but in my case it's because I finished my education after leaving the JW cult and now am able to earn more money.
to me personally, steven hassen books have had a tremendous influence on my waking-up over the last years.. i have read 3 of his books.. combating cult mind control(2012 edition).
freedom of mind.
releasing the bonds.
Releasing the Bonds is, in my opinion, the best one for an ex-JW seeking to understand how they were recruited into and indoctrinated by a cult and how to heal and rebuild their life.

Interesting thread.
A couple of years ago I attended an ICSA workshop for cult survivors. There were about 25 people in attendance. They were from a wide variety of cults, some I’d never heard of before.
The workshop facilitator, herself a former member of a psychological cult, asked us if there was anything good or positive about the cult experience.
Almost everyone had something they could say, but we all agreed the net negative effects far outweighed any benefits we got from it.
Here is a short list of positive things I learned from joining the JW cult, being in it for 25 years and then leaving:
The first two items on my list are definitely valuable skills and abilities, but there are many ways they can be learned without joining a cult.
My life would have been just fine—better, no doubt—had I not had to learn the third.

"When someone is disfellowshipped from the religion, normal family relations continue, with the exception of spiritual fellowship.” - A Watchtower Lawyer
That's such bullshit!
I know countless people that aren't even disfellowshipped that are shunned by their family merely because they no longer go to the Kingdom Hall to attend meetings.
The leadership of this cult are all morally corrupt liars. They have no shame.
If you have to lie to defend your beliefs, then your beliefs are not worth defending!
when you hear that the polls say.... do you really believe it??.
i think polls can be and often are skewered.
i don’t trust them..
DOC, I’m aware. So much for democracy!
