  Belief in God Can Be Turned Off Like a Light Switch

  by cofty in

  researchers in york used magnetic stimulation to target an area of the brain called the medial frontal cortex in a group of volunteers.

  a control group received a sham treatment.. both groups were asked to think about death.

  the group who experienced the magnetic energy reported 32.8% less belief in angels, god and heaven.. when faced with difficult challenges people often take refuge in ideology.

  Similarities between the Governing Body and an abusive spouse

  by Zoos in

  i was looking at a list of methods used by abusive spouses to manipulate and control their "domain" and was struck by how similar the mentality is to the governing body's approach to the flock.

  obviously not everything on the list applies as there is no sexual component in the congregation and there is no physical contact, but the similarities were shocking.. http://www.helpguide.org/articles/abuse/domestic-violence-and-abuse.htm.

  abusers use a variety of tactics to manipulate you and exert their power:.

  Absolutely.

  Being in this religion is being in a codependent relationship. No question.

  It was designed as a nightclub! WTF?!?

  I know JWs that wouldn't buy stuff at a garage sale because things there MIGHT have been demonized.

  What a fucking ridiculous cult this religion is.

  I really can't believe I ever fell for this shit.

  My thoughts on the last WT study. Keep in Expectation

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so i sat thru another brain mushing session for the sake of family.

  it is no myth by now that the more time you spend awake the harder it is the accept that people just take all of this in without asking.

  a computer has more reasoning abilities than your average jw at this point.
