I got a wake up call that not everything is all as kosher as it seems when I called out the NZ Prime Minister for making a clearly false statement on an emotional public issue where he would have looked like a right plonker if the truth was known. The media managed to erase my link to the site with the relevant facts so quickly that by my next refresh of the screen my comment had disappeared.

Do You For The Most Part Trust The News Media?
by minimus inthe media is very powerful.
many news people just want to get a scoop even if their breaking story isn’t checked out for accuracy.
some journalists are precise and double check whatever they are reporting.

Take your own booze.
Never drink from the minibar.
If you ever get caught out, ask for the finest whiskey that has no chance of being counterfeit and drink a lot of it to negate the effects of the methanol in the counterfeit you drank.
Educate yourselves so that you and your friends can recognize the symptoms of methanol poisoning.

Were You A Gullible JW?
by minimus ini think every congregation has their group that sees everything as a sign that they are god’s chosen people.
if a witness didn’t go to a meeting and a storm came and destroyed their house and killed them, and only the kingdom hall was saved, that was a sign that we should be in jehovah’s house.
if russia persecuted jws , it’s proof we are living in the last days.

As a born in, I knew that the early leaders had had some let downs when Jehovah hadn't shown up to fulfill some of the promises made on his behalf by the WT hierarchy, so I was never fully convinced enough to let them dunk me. That didn't stop me making some mistakes by trusting my parent's wisdom when they should have been protecting me from nutters, while not realising that they were the nut jobs they were supposed to be protecting me from.

Advice on Disassociating
by HiddenPimo inhello my exjw/pimo/pomo friends,.
i am working on penning my da letter and wondered if i should use it as a tool to maybe wake up individuals as the boe will have to read it.. anyone have any advice on what i should say versus what i should leave out?
i am not going to fade as my family can either be loyal to blood or loyal to a man made religion.

All a DA letter does is tell the congregation and your family that you are to be feared and that they should avoid having conversations with you. This is exactly what the bOrg wants you to do because they want you to have no chance of influencing any of their members to think for themselves.
If you are a recruit, with no family in, go ahead and DA.

Until he fully understands that he was raised in a mind control cult, he is damaged goods and he is a danger to your children. It's quite clear from his actions that he hasn't reached that point yet

What makes Christians so special? I expect most religions have something they can use as evidence that they are being persecuted,
