Please, do not fall for their 'love bombing'.
That's an important thing to be aware of.... I wish I knew about it sooner.
i was thinking of doing a pop-in visit when they're doing their thing(what ever that might be).
to just see what it is that lures and hooks people, like our son.
i was worried there is some sort of subliminal messages in audio or video that start to brain-wash a person.

how many times have you asked a jw who has attended a public talk how the talk was, only to be told it was so great!
yet they cannot remember the title nor any one single point except that the brother was "funny" or was good with illustratiions or some other vauge point?
and conventions weren't far off either.
Last week's convention was soooooo encouraging!!!
They put up gigantic screens to show amazing videos and drama, and the demonstrations and interviews were a lot livelier!!!!
The speakers were also carrying their laptops and tablets!! What a great provision and sign that the heavenly chariot is moving faster!!! Said the most popular speaker in town during his introduction to the last talk. Stupid stupid stupid.
I stood up and never went back in!
What a circus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i want to start doing a wt review on certain articles.
i think we need as much discussion as possible breaking down these mind control sessions.
i cannot compare with blondie, but i will do my best.
For the sake of some "well-meaning friends", I thought of going to the meeting earlier.
But seeing today's topic... no, no, no.
No way I am ever going back to these dreary brainwashing sessions again.
If there are real-life mental zombies, you know where to look.
I want my life back, my mind, and my heart back.
ever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?
the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:.
1. at the top of the social order of things within the congregation is of course, the presiding overseer and his family.

i knew some that were very happy for you and others, along with their families, that were envious of someone's advancement.. .

a question for those that still attend meetings.... how many use tablets or ipads in your hall?.
i did roving microphones this week, and i counted 43 people (variety of ages) out of an audience of 98!.
just curious....
Around 65% in our cong uses them. Thank goodness my calligraphy and doodling skills during the meetings have improved.
:D
