God's name

ever notice how as a witness, you could not say "god" by itself.

always had to be preceeded by jehovah, or just say jehovah.

i remember my ex telling me that was the first sign that they knew i was on the way out, because i would refer to god simply as, "god".

i need help in finding out just what kind of mind control the jw's use on their members.

i have never been a jw, and need some specifics on this to help my sister, who is a jw.. just what kind of fear tactics did they instill upon you, and other ways of mind controlling?.

i know all the doctrines from research i have done, but not really sure on the specific things they said to keep you in, not listen to outsiders, and fear from leaving the orginization.. you all are so helpful in these posts, and i know you all will give me some great info.. thanks so much, grace4u

Only time will tell

so many times when i was in field service, i would run across people who wanted to argue scripture.

some were pretty good, they knew their stuff and we would spend hours going over this point and that point.

it was some times, kind of educational on both sides, but more often then not ... it was a waste of two hours.

i'm new here and this is the first post i make (i promise that more will come).

i have been following most of the posts made here quietly for about 4 months and i would like to thank all of you who are called apostates for the well documented and researched material you have presented here.thanks to you i know now the truth about the wt organization and i'm no longer blind and misled.

i disassociated myself about 2 months ago after 15 years of very "faithful" service to the society.i was regular pioneer for 12 years and an elder for 8 years, i served mainly as the service overeer.my experience was published in the 2 of the society's magazins.. as i was a very zealous and prominent elder in my circuit i zealously promoted the organizational rules and i allowed myself to be fully used by the society to promote those mind controle techniques that now i know hurt those who were my sheep.

as i went about my wifely duties today, i had a thought and would like the imput from some former brothers and/or elders, ms, po, co's.. since leaving the borg, has the way you view your wife/companion/daughter/sister/mother changed?

let me elaborate.

while being brought up a dub, i was taught that women were in subjection.
