Could a Cult personality be someone's Authentic Personality

by cantleave in

jw
friends

we all know theory, that a cult personality masks the authentic.

but after reading some of the cult indoctrinated posters here , i am beginning to think that they are showing their authentic personalities.. they don't appear to show any true human emotion or demonstrate any independant thinking ability, ony what they are told feel and think by the cult.

is it possible that some people are born to be cult members in order to survive?.

Until a person is strong enough to believe in their own decision making abilities they will continue to let some organization or person make their decisions for them..it's a copout for a weak personality ..

Some people are even happy that way..

That's why counseling helps so many cult members..it gives them the strength to believe in themselves and their decision making abilities

Snoozy..JMO.

I also wanted to add that when subjected to the worst abuse (verbal or physical) it can turn a strong man/woman into a cowering wimp..

Moral Rigidity vs Ethical Rigidity

by sabastious in

recently i have been pondering about the witnesses self proclaimed "moral superiority" to the outside world.

how can one person's chosen moral be superior to another person's chosen moral?

to quantify the difference betwen morals is to test their percieved benefits, and detriments, in the societies that accept them.

FHN I live on the bottom floor also. I have to stand by the patio door if I want good reception on my cell phone.. If I was going to cut back I think I would stay with basic cable only and rent movies if I was in the mood. Or watch movies on the computer..a computer that can show on your TV screen is nice.. My computer screen is small.

Michael Jackson kids leaving meeting June 26

youngest doesn't look too happy leaving meeting,,he doesn't seem to like the jw look and feel of tie and jacket.

poor kid.

The girl has on thong sandals..since when could you wear something other than closed toed shoes? The girls got counseled if they even wore shoes (high heels) without panty hose..
And the dress/blouse had to have full sleeves! No sleeveless or cap sleeves..

I guess some things do change. I also noticed a lady in the back wearing a slack suit? A BIG no no back in the 60's and early 70's..

Give them enough time and maybe they will end up like all other religions and celebrate holidays and quit the shunnning crud..

FHN, I am in the same boat. I was paying $107. a month for all 3 for a year and I just got a notice that the year is over and it is now $149 a month!

They will lock me in at $114. if I will comit for two years..I'm not about to do that and I am sure the $114. doesn't include taxes etc.

I have been looking around and am going to try ATT U-verse as it seems like everyone says how cheap it is right now. I just got a letter from someone in the mail (not Att letterhead or envelope) that claims I can get ATT Long distance included for $14.95 a month.. I would grab it but it looks like a mass mailing by an individual..don't know what to think about it.

I have to have a landline for security hooked up to the building and in case of a 9-11 emergency.

As far as the free phones gofor it! My daughter got two. One for her and one for her school age son. I don't know where you live but she is in Illinois. I am sure you can get them if they offer them in the area you live in. Go for it! She said they didn't even check her income.(.if they did they would have found out she made too much).

Wish I could offer something better but I am going to be doing some calling ..

Have you tried calling them and seeing what kind of deals they may have going now? Stupid me, they called me right before my time was up (which I didn't know) and offered to give me all of what I had plus U verse for only 114. a month..that included taxes. After I found out they raised my amount I called and tried to get the special deal but they wouldn't give it to me then..Grrr...

It's soooo hot!

by talesin in

jw
friends

it's 27 degrees celsius today = about 35 in my flat, which is about 95 degf for the americans.. .

my friends in tx say it's been over 100 degf for about 2 months ... i don't have ac, but a fan on me .... .

how do you deal with the heat?.

Snoozy

Between 85 and 98 degrees here in Mo. I am on the bottom floor of my condo's..my electric bill is never over $80. Most of the time it is $30. - $40. a month. I have the air conditioning on most of the time but it doesn't run all the time..one of the finer points of being on the lower level..but the steps will get you!.

I remember when the kids were little back in the 60;s. It was in the 100's. Before AC..We had the big box fans going all over the house and we kept the blinds closed and the windows closed..it was so hot you could hardly breathe..
Our back yard had a lot of shade and the kids and I would fill their kiddie pool and lay in it to cool off..

People talk about the good old days but that wasn't included..I love AC in the hot summer!

I earned it!!!!!

ps wanted to add that we are supposed to get a cool spell and noticed it is only 77 out now.
