Screwed up sexually

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

i was thinking about how the borg screws up and sexually neuters their flock by telling them when single to "deaden their body" and then boom as soon as there's a ring on the finger to not be denying eachother.. do any of you know of jws who have been screwed up by these teachings?

i know 2, 1 elder came back from honeymoon having a nervous breakdown unable to cope with the cd that sex produced in his head.

and the other called up her parents while on honeymoon, crying and begging for themto come and get her, since she was so shocked that sex hurt.

I definitely makes you sexually repressed and getting sexually unrepressed can be very tricky. I was 18 when they recruited me into the cult, which being a young male meant suppressing my otherwise naturally health sex life. I stop my regular habit of masturbation(1-3 times a day to 0 times a year) and sex anytime I could get it which wasn't that often, or at least nothing to brag about.

Even when I got married I would have feeling of guilt if I had sex more than once a day. It more or less was just without too much exploration for rear of displeasing jealous God that don't like you having too much sexual fun.

When I left the cult I went and did a lot of sexual experimentation to find my self, now I have a lot better/healthier sex life and able to focus more while with my significant other, without any worries about my invisible imaginary Jehovah getting his undies all in a twist over it.

MUST WATCH! Watchtower's Shocking Admissions

by Newly Enlightened in

watchtower's shocking admissions.

Brokeback Watchtower

Great vid guys keep it up. This video show what fools the Governing Body really are when it comes to business practices and how to plan your money matter, I'm thinking these clowns are sending Jehovah's chariot down a bottomless precipice of financial ruin.

I'd be on the watch for suicides of the Governing Body as they watch Jehovah chariot take one financial hit after another, and go down the drain,, somebody call 911. Hey seems likely to me in my parallel universe.

Have Artifical Intelligence Run A Site That Deprograms Jehovah's Witnesses

by Brokeback Watchtower in

with all this talk about ai taking over jobs and finding cures by feeding it proper input data and a whole host of other tasks why not have scientist put up a site run by artificial intelligence to deprogram people from cults and offer them counseling as what to do after leaving the mind control cult.. i know this might be a very touchy place to put ai i think it would offer scientist working with ai to test its capabilities and do a public service at the same time.. perhaps offer it honestly to the public who are having doubts about a specific organization that is unduly controlling their lives.. and great if that would pass a turing test:.

Of course this type of AI would have access to billions of input data to prime the pumps so to speak and given some clear directives and boundaries.

I see this possible perhaps in less than ten years. I'm not speaking of general purpose AI but a more specific type available to the general public in less than 10 years so that some computer xjw wiz kid makes the move with technology available.

It isn't anyone's right to tell other people what to do or think. You really need to do a self-examination my friend.

This Article Won't Change Your Mind - Great Read

by cofty in

this article won’t change your mind - the facts on why facts alone can’t fight false beliefs.

brilliant article in the atlantic by julie beck discussing the phenomena of cognitive dissonance and how it affects religious and political beliefs.

it includes some interesting thoughts on how social media has magnified the problem.. spoiler - she is not optimistic about the possibility of successfully reasoning with members of religious cults.. the article also has a link to the 45 minute audio version.. link....

I would like to see Artificial Intelligence solve this deprogramming problem in trying to reach our loved ones.

I wonder what a purely unemotional intelligence would come up with in getting people to bypass ingrained cult indoctrination and think in a different more healthy way?

Anybody here still believe in the bible?

by Mel Morris in

jw
friends

i'm a current bible student of jw's looking to chat with someone about biblical doctrine.

i'm not interested in talking with an apostate or a fader, i'm just a person looking for answers and wondered if there are any neutral voices in this forum who have good insights into the bible.

i currently talk with a couple of jw's on a personal level from my congregation and they are knowledgeable to a certain extent, but i dare not ask them certain questions because, as you know, the congregation has a culture of fear that impacts trust and openness, especially concerning biblical doctrine or the societies teachings.

I think it is good for XJWs to also try not to be so bias when examining peoples concerns and try to see things from their perspective. Not so ready to jump on them when they write something that we disagree with and try to present our understanding it in a way that stimulates thinking in the one that disagrees with our ideas. It is a real challenge I know o so well.

AI has already be able to win human at so many games chess, video games, go, and the lists gets bigger every so often.

So give AI the challenge to open and run a site without making it public knowledge that AI is running it and just have as a well advertised site where the public can go for help when dealing with abusive cults. Make the site easily available to member's of these cult having doubts as a place to go for some good advice back by research. That way you are not tricking anybody into getting deprogramed and only helping those that are having doubts.

The AI would only improve with time and more data.
