R6Laser,
To a great degree you are correct. Unstable people are just that.....UNSTABLE.
As you gain an understanding of people and WHY they do what they do, you will ALSO learn how "mind games" can be used to influence the actions of others.

Another sick example of what mind games will cause people to do!
i have called many times in the past.
this time i was calling for a sister that wanted to know the truth from the society.
the brother from the information desk said they did join but realy they were tricked.
The WTB&TS always gets away with every lie they are involved in. Whose fault is it?
Answer: The members.......imagine that!
it seems that the watchtower has not learnt any lessons regarding their involvement in the united nations.
perhaps they think the outcry that a few witnesses made a couple of years ago has died down.
they have been silent about the united nations for about 3 years until they published an article in the sep 15th watchtower, "walk by faith, not by sight!
And I guess the WTB&TS is now going to turn on their partner, much like they do to their own, huh?
okay, it's only fluff but i liked it.. osceola will host jehovah's witnesses.

So now they openly call it the way WE see it, huh?
the following was posted at my guest list the other day, by a producer of a new documentary that is pro-witness and may go out on pbs.
i'm joel engardio, director of the project.

NOW, if only everyone would really hold the WTB&TS responsible for the fornication, hypocrisy and other dirty, self-righteous deeds with the UNITED NATIONS and the diatribe of disingenuous tripe from the OVERLORDS (Elders) in each Kingdom Hall.
Is that asking too much?
The real question is:::
WILL THE REAL "TRUTH" EVER BE TOLD AND THE OVERLORDS BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?
so, there i was quietly dropping off to sleep while listening to the news at 10 on the bbc last night.
suddenly, michael jackson had been found not guilty of everything, and fair enough, i'm no judge or jury so it's not up to me to say yay or nay.. then my eldest son rushes into the bedroom on the phone to his jw full time pioneer girl friend.. her father had just told her that michael jackson had given credit to jehovah, that if he should be found not guilty of these charges his great god jehovah is the one that saved him and the girls elder father was saying what a wonderful witness this is, letting everyone in the world hear jehovah's name.. the best i could mumble at the time was 'go away you bunch of freaks!'.
however, the ludicrousness of this has finally dawned on me this morning!.
just found out about this.
you can read all about it at www.knocking.org, but here is the homepage intro... from a handful of bible students in pennsylvania to 7 million members worldwide today, the christian group has ministered door-to-door for 130 years.
typically dismissed as a controversial sect, the much-derided jehovah's witnesses lack respect and seem irrelevant.
Right on Steve!! Here is a brief from my letter to the Governing Body of Elders--KIM
6. Why do you think there are so many lawsuits against Jehovah’s Witness, The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, Individual Brothers, Kingdom Halls, etc ? Besides the documented facts stated above, here are some more reasons: It is because of the wrongful acts committed, concealment of facts, the indifference of the elders, lack of corrective action, a very self-righteous attitude, hypocrisy, favoritism, a general lack of love, a misuse and misapplication of Scripture which is often used to punish and inflict severe emotional duress and trauma. This list could go on but you understand the manifestations and the ramifications of what is being said.
7. Where has the true love and trustworthiness gone ? Artificial pleasantries & phony smiles are abundant in most Kingdom Halls across the United States and elsewhere. You know this, and many Jehovah’s Witnesses simply play along as if everything is a big game and few have the courage to say anything about it for fear of retaliation and worse. True love is not radiating from most of the hearts of fellow believers. Most brothers and sisters are eager to (and some enjoy) shunning, marking individuals, disassociating members and the worldly art of gossiping. Busybodies and nosey people are just as abundant at the Kingdom Hall as they are everywhere else in the world. Favoritism, jealousy and “one-upmanship” is common among many including the elders. Comments made in the privacy of homes are very different from what is “openly” expressed at the Kingdom Hall or obviously, in any public format. This hypocrisy is truly incredible. What Jehovah’s Witness can be trusted when everyone is encouraged to spy on one another and invade the privacy of the individual brother or sister? And don’t forget about the theocratic war strategy. In reality, because of this “strategy” and other mitigating factors, Jehovah’s Witnesses are considered ineligible for many job opportunities (from knowledgeable employers) which require a history of trust, emotional stability, rational & analytical thinking.
i saw this on the jw convention thread.

the last sentence of the third paragraphs saysthere are now over 1,000,000 witnesses in the united states..
........really?
