  Why Does It Seem That Black People Are Always Being Shot By The Police?

  there is either a conspiracy against blacks in this country and police are out to get them or it’s that they are getting caught breaking the law and often times refuse to obey police authority.

  Does Anybody Here Sympathize With The Looters That Cause Destruction?

  i realize some here are diehard democrats.

  whether you are democrat, republican or independent, do you support any of these looters that cause mayhem and destruction for their cause?

  i have heard some people sympathize with these law breakers saying they understand why they do what they do and leave it at that.. of course i wonder how they would feel if their own property was burnt or stolen or destroyed..

  Governing Body - Time in Ministry

  by Peeringin in

  is there any transparency in how many hours on the ministry the governing body members do on the ministry?

  by this i mean the physical act of going door to door in their area.

  i guess it is plausible that they would count overseas trips and working on publications as part of their ministry, but this is not what they encourage from the jw on the street.. is it possible for a gb member to be reproved or otherwise for not going out in service?

  Stopping Thought Stopping.

  by Peeringin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im sure that many on this forum will be aware of the thought-stopping techniques that are taught by jws/wts to suppress difficult thoughts and overcome cognitive dissonance in favour of reverting back to belief in wts.. often in conversation these will be clear verbal cues that can sound unnatural during the course of a conversation, as though an individual is temporarily reading a script to overcome a difficult point.. my question to you all is this:.

  are there any methods or resources that people are aware of that can help to break through a thought stopping mechanism when it is noticeably in effect?

  a question perhaps, or technique that will encourage the individual to think the thought through in its entirety?.
