  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  i think the disfellowshipping abandonement arrangement in human relationships also to be a heavy contributor to this malady:.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/borderline_personality_disorder.

  borderline personality disorder (bpd), also known as emotionally unstable personality disorder, is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by unstable relationships with other people, unstable sense of self, and unstable emotions.

  BBW, This is an intriguing topic. That being said, I have a request and a suggestion:
  

  How about less Cutting & Pasting and more personal commentary and analysis?
  

  Also, I suggest you try to use reliable primary and secondary sources rather than Wikipedia, because WP is NOT a reliable source.

  Thanks!

  Are we in a computer simulation?

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/simulation_hypothesis.

  consequences of living in a simulation[edit]some scholars speculate that the creators of our hypothetical simulation may have limited computing power; if so, after a certain point, the creators would have to deploy some sort of strategy to prevent simulations from themselves indefinitely creating high-fidelity simulations in unbounded regress.

  This thread is just a reboot of one by Brokeback Watchtower from a couple of years ago:

  • You are simulation and physics can prove it

  Met JWs today - they lied about who they were

  by Xanthippe in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so a couple came into the library where i work today and the woman said she was from the british sign language association and asked if i would display a leaflet for her.

  when she handed me the leaflet the jw website logo jumped out at me as did the words 'would you like to study the bible with jehovah's witnesses?

  ' there was a small picture that had someone conversing in sign language but the other pictures were typical jw leaflet pictures.

  The WT leaders are unrepentant, not ignorant or stupid. Well, Lett is clearly an idiot but the others are willful.

  JW.org Childrens Page: Expanding My Circle Of Friends

  https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/teenagers/worksheets/expanding-circle-of-friends/.

  some things of note here, it looks to me that they're encouraging young ones to befriend older people and "people not like them".

  could this be because many of the young ones are now leaving?.

  Strangely ironic from a cult that insists on extreme conformity.

  How can you meet people with "different backgrounds" when everyone is forced to believe the same things, dress the same, no visible tattoos, no beards for me, no stylish haircuts, no interests in "questionable" music or entertainment (whatever the hell that means), and definitely no different religious beliefs.
  

  And it's just bizarre that they would even put this in print:

  “Excluding people from your circle of friends could deprive you of rewarding relationships.”

  I can solve that in an instant. Abolish institutionalized, coerced shunning. Problem solved.
