  Jehovah's Witnesses Are Under Mind Control

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you were to tell a witness that they were "brainwashed" or that they were "under mind control", they certainly would not rationally accept it.the reason is because witnesses cannot distinguish between mind control and "obeying the faithful and discreet slave".

  it is only after a person stops exposing himself to the subtle mind controlling tactics of the watchtower that a person can see how thoroughly duped they are in their beliefs.

  how might you be able to tell that you are no longer your own person, able to make your own decisions in your life?

  What does it really mean to "have love among yourselves"?

  by micheal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you ask any active witness most will say they are the only true religion because they have love among themselves.

  but not going to war and killing another jw or going anywhere in the world and getting a free meal is fine but it does not constitute a true love among themselves.. forgotten is all the backstabbing, all the varying statuses within themselves and the never ending criticism that they have within themsleves.

  never mind if a person becomes publicly reprooved, not disfellowship, but reproved they are still basically shunned and looked down upon.

  How many want out?

  by ignored_one in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many jws are there currently in the wt who want out but are held back by things they feel they can't control?

  i hear posters say that if they're still jws then they must believe it.

  what about the people whose whole family are jws and don't have any outside friends to turn to or for whatever reason are relying on their jw family for financial help and know that if they expressed doubts they would be cut off no questions asked.
