by lancelink ini was raised a catholic from birth to age 15, that's when my dad started to study with some jw's that came to our door.

Are JWs "mind trained" to be habitual liars?
by nonjwspouse ini don't mean overly obvious, or otherwise meaning to cause harm, but taught to lie for the purpose of avoidance.
this type of lying can be pervasive in areas of life that are not just to avoid discussions with people who have questions about the jw, etc.
my husband will lie/be deceitful about the silliest, simple things.

I Just Heard a Birthday Song...
by Saename inso i'm sitting in public area, reading the end of faith (it's pretty clear sam harris is making a case against faith and not some generalized version of islam, so i don't get all those misplaced objections...), and i just heard a group of people sing a birthday song.. i was surprised.
but not because someone was singing a birthday song.
i was surprised because of my reaction.. i wish i could say my reaction was normal, but it wasn't.
