the "other" big A
by chickpea init is an apology.... .
the one i owe my oldest son, for having dragged his childhood through a cult's skewed and twisted thinking, enabling the disconnect in his life that opened the door to abberant behaviour that continues for all time to have an impact on his life..... my heart bleeds and my soul weeps for this wounded child of mine...... he needs to know i now understand what happened and why .
he needs to know i cherish his presence in my life immeasurably more than the mind-control organization that would demand i separate myself from him in order to please their god.

The Scarlet Colored Wild Beast and Gorbachev
by jgnat inthe insanity continues this week, with the study of the revelation book and the continued application of revelation 17 to the "anglo-american power" and the united nations.
we're on chapter 35. i think i've been assigned study duty because these obscure connections fly well over poor hubby's head.
what twigged my interest this week is reference to a "prominent leader of the former soviet union" who "joined the popes in rome" in expressing support for the un.

How many borg members believe the genocide teaching?
by ldrnomo injust wondering, most members i've talked to over the years including me did not really think jehovah was going to destroy everyone that was not a jw or even half of everyone who was not a dub.
even a prominent elder in the cong i was in didn't buy that teaching (probabley because his daughter was not in) .
so how many do you think believe this teaching?

Cognitive Dissonance
by R.Crusoe ina feeling of conflict or anxiety or uncomfortable tension resulting from allowing or forcing oneself to do what one does not feel inclined to do or preventing oneself from doing whjat one feels inclined to do - an inconsistency between ones beliefs and ones actions!.
so when you have gone your whole life in this mindset, whether in the jws, outside it , or a combination of both, you likely feel detached from the game of life everyone else seeme to be getting on with!.
the irony is that you may also feel the game of life is its own form of cognitive dissonance on different levels!.

Do you think JWs actually care if they convert people or not?
by LouBelle inthe reason i ask this is because when i was on the field way back in the day - i really couldn't be bothered if the householder was interested or not.
if they took literature and paid for it (we asked a certain price for literature before it all became on a donation basis) it was a bonus, plus meant money for a cooldrink / tea & cake afterwards.. actually i would prefer it if they weren't interested so i could get away from the door - sometimes their ""conversation stoppers"" made too much sense and i couldn't answer back.. that meant i didn't convert anybody.
do you think most of the jws' are like that today?
