  during that time, i did have a prescription drug problem following an injury.

  i was always taught the following:.

  watchtower, 7/1/69 pg395:.

  people who were only just old enough to understand what was happening to the world in 1914 are now approaching seventy years of age.

  Your JW Relatives Have 2 Personalities - Cult & Authentic- See the Change

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in steve hassan's book, " combatting cult mind control" - one of the points that assisted me the most is understanding that all cult members have a " cult " personality which turns on when defending their faith, and they have an authentic, non - cult personality they were born with- the personality they had before being programmed by the jehovah's witnesses or any other " cult".

  how is this dual cult/ authentic personality manifest ?

  hassan mentions in his book that, " one moment the person is speaking cultic jargon with a hostile or elitist know-it-all attitude .

  I just have to whine....

  by isnrblog in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am sitting here wondering where my life went.. i was raised a jw, married at 19, had 2 kids.. by the time my wife was 40 she had given up on sex.

  at any rate she didn't feel the need to look good for me, so she porked out.she felt i was hooked by the family, shunning thing, so why bother.

  i burried myself in business, neglected my family.. i finally left at 50. i ,married a beautiful, kind woman.

  see if this makes sense to you guys.

  i am tired of hearing the witnesses crow about the "growth" of the organization.

  their figures reflect a growt about that ofthe worlds populatiom, 3 to 5%.

  False Religion

  by real one in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this can be so overwhelming.

  there are so many false religions around today that it is astounding.

  if a person does not have a strong bond with god it is easy to fall prey to the devil's deceitful plans.

  JW membership turnover - a real-life study

  by besty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  much has been commented here on how jw's rely on an ever-changing membership for keeping their 'the sky is falling, the world is ending' doctrine fresh.. recently it was posted that fully 2/3 of born-in jw's leave at some point, and i thought you might like to see how this works in practice.. so lets take sam and i and our extended families - we were both born and brought up jw's.

  start with me.

  mum and dad were converted in the 1950's.
