  That's a good example Island man.

  How about appealing to your scripturally trained conscience or brotherly love- especially if it is a "conscience" matter? They won't tell you not to, but it is implied that if you do it, you have a weak conscience.

  That's the point.

  Its funny how you start noticing the manipulation when you are "waking up".

  See how many more manipulative statements you can find.

  It's like when someone starts off saying:" I'm sure you will agree that"

  Or " no doubt you feel this way"

  Has anyone heard any more about this? I thought it might be the branch visit they were talking about in a different thread.

  My friend just told me about it.

  Her congregation won't have a Sunday meeting that weekend.

  one last step..Is being mentally out the same as being emotionally out?

  by MissFit in

  2. friends

  we talk here about the importance of being mentally and physically out to be really free.. what about being emotionally free?.

  i realized for me, i had to be emotionally awake first.

  i had been yo-young back and forth for years.

  I have really enjoyed this discussion.

  So far it sounds like leaving emotionally is as important as physically and mentally.

  There does not seem to be a particular order to it.

  As for me, I still have more work to do.

  I am having a hard time with starting and maintaining social connections. Making friends.

  so what are you doing to enjoy yourself?

  doesn't have to be for anyone around you, or have anything to do with jw world.

  just something that you do for you and only you and that fills your soul (whatever that means).

  Terry said: everything must change, before anything changes.

  Terry isn't that all or nothing thinking?

  This is an on going process some changes take time.

  Nieveau: it does take a lot of effort. I noticed the emotional pull of the vocabulary is lessening.

  when I hear the phrase: the last days I dont get that feeling of dread or urgency that used to.

  How to make the most of wife not going to service meeting?

  by FadeToBlack in

  out of the blue, my wife told me that after this week's service meeting on friday (co visit) she is not going to anymore meetings during the week at night.

  only sunday (am) meetings.

  she explained that it is difficult and not safe for her to drive after dark (vision issues: i have the same problem so i couldn't help her if i wanted to).

  Intetesting Terry. I have noticed a difference in my responses since I first started posting here.

  Phases like: "the truth", "the friends", "Jehovah',"going out in service", "worldly", "fleshly desires", spirit of the world" ect. would just trip off my tongue.

  I never realized I had a them vs. us mind set.

  I notice myself thinking differently now. I still have to catch myself but now I remember to use quotes.
