SURVEY: Is a JWN members post count a reasonable indicator of their theist/atheist position? If so what can be learned from that?
by nicolaou ini've done no research on this but i suspect that a members belief or absence of belief in god may have some correspondence with the number of posts he or she has made.. my tentative suggestion is that members with fewer than 500 posts are mostly believers while members with more than 3000 posts are mostly non-believers.
of course there are exceptions, maybe quite a few, but i'm only dealing with generalities here.
so how about a survey?

Why is it?
by JeffT ini thought of this while working on my book project, and i realized i don't have a good answer.
why is the jw leadership so intent on conformity in all areas of everyone's lives?
lots of things they regulate have no religious significance.

For Analysts and counsellors (maybe Docs too)
by hamsterbait ini am thinking along the lines of socialising:.
how easy is it for you to "switch off" and just enjoy the evening, without starting to think "okay- she is a borderline alcoholic, he's prolly gay, that one has multiple personality disorder, he is entering a psychotic episode, and she always starts fugueing after too much wine.".
can you ever see your friends and fambly as just people, or do you have to make a conscious effort to switch off and enjoy yourself.

Forgive the Watchtower!
by sabastious ini was abused by my father growing up.
physically and emotionally.. as a entered my adult life i had next to no self esteem, in part because he didn't really attempt to help me get some because i didn't chose the career path that he dreamed for me.. 2 years ago i forgave him.
i let go of the anger that i had for him because i knew that when it was all said and done, he did what he did and i believe that he did his best.

Demons and the WTS
by brotherdan ini remember growing up and hearing all sorts of stories about demonic activity from people.
some would be experiences that people had going door to door and visiting a "witch" or "warlock".
some would inadvertently go to a fortune tellers door and have a demonic experience.. i was always facinated by all the stories.
