SO true. Been reading Pinktruth.com which is about the Mary Kay cult and it's soooooooooooo similar to JWs it's scary. Although it's a product-based pyramid scheme I find myself nodding in agreement at every article.

WTBT$/JW's = AMWAY/MLM Schemes
by Darth Fader The Sequel inall of the wts tactics and procedures are based off of your most basic mlm (multi-level marketing) schemes.
take your pick of amway, or any of the other vitamin or financial mlm's.
they all work the exact same way.

What's with this "no windows in kingdom halls" thing?
by Trapped in JW land ini hear many people on this forum say that kh's don't have windows.
but i have never been to one that didn't have windows.
is this only in a certain area or something?.

Every kh I've ever been to in Australia has windows. Must be a non-Australian thing.

How can I ever leave this cult?
by Julia Orwell ini've been out nearly two years but it's not out of me.
i am on school holidays now til february so i thought without work to worry about i can come off my medication.
i phased it slowly, starting in early november to avoid the physical side effects of coming down.

The Borg from Star Trek: good analogy. I remember one borg was ripped away from her people and she couldn't get over the fact of life outside the borg and wanted to go back. Another borg started a resistance movement! I guess borgs all do something slightly different, but the majority of the Jaybots just can't get through the conditioning. It is very powerful. Took me years to get through it myself and I'm an educated, intelligent person.

What do you think? Prison guards man-handle a young native Australian.
by fulltimestudent inthe desert areas of central australia, the so-called 'red heart' of the nation, still has a significant population of original australians.
and many of them seem to have difficulty with the law.*.
that's a very brief and simplistic introduction to this video of prison guards in the alice springs jail, manhandling a young boy.

Yep Leeca, heard it before. The aborigines have a different mentality to non- indigenous Australians and giving them sit-down money doesn't help.

Thanks all :).
I actually moved out lf my last congregation's territory and no jws know where we live now and my townhouse complex is a DNC apparently. I do live across the highway from my old territory from before the last congregation, which is where my parents live. I'm not going to move towns because there is not many other places to go, and we only just bought this place in March.
I guess I was just feeling sorry for myself and I can be a bit obsessive by nature. I am on school holidays at the moment too so I have plenty of time to over think things. My art commissions have kept me a little busy but I wish I could just not give a damn if I see these people ever again. But, there were my life for years so it's not that easy.

"... they believe they are God's gift to humanity, and that their ways are superior. "
That drives me bloody nuts about them!!! I was like that too and I hate myself for it, I'm so ashamed of what they made me into.

Yes, it's the good memories I have to come to terms with because it's so much easier to vilify the whole harmful experience than accept that it wasn't all bad. Black/white thinking is easier, but it doesn't hold true.
