Things JWs Say VS What A Normal Person Would Say...

by JW_Rogue in

when someone says "merry christmas" or "happy holidays".... a normal person: responds in kind.

a jw: says "thank you" or launches into a speech about christmas' pagan roots.

when a couple is celebrating their wedding anniversary... .

Oh, no, that's okay!

That is why we dialogue - to understand each other. And hell, I do the same thing. It's all good, Rogue. :)

yes! Even though I had shed the cult persona, I had a hard time planning for the future. Inside, for many years, I could not see a future. Great point.

That one is one of my wife's favorites, she always talking about how she "hates this system" and how she can't wait for it to end. I understand her somewhat but then I think "What other system has there ever been?" Even if you believe the bible God's system didn't even last one lifetime before it failed.

That's not what I meant. Even tho I no longer believed, and was happy in my 'worldly' life, my ability to make future plans was disabled.

It's one of the things I look back on, and realize what a brainwashing effect they had on me.

I did not believe, but realize now, that the programming had affected me. Although I was successful, I did not have the capability of making a future plan. That is one of the sneaky effects of the cult. We who are born in, need to learn and Believe, KNOW, that we have a future - it is real.

When you tell them fantastic news, like "I just got my doctorate!":, they say "oh, that's nice". A normal person would say " oh my, what an accomplishment!". Educational accomplishments mean nothing to them.

You can be a good friend to her Min; it's kinda interesting how we can meet folk on games and such, hey?

I for one, think you are intrigued by this woman. : )

Keep us posted. x
