  Adjustments.     You said most JWs are mentally ill or unstable.    That's a bunch of crap.      Just like someone who says that if you send your kid to a KH they will get molested.     Most JWs are brainwashed and some are mentally ill.

  Based on my very non scientific observations of dubs that I have met I think there may be a higher percentage of dubs with mental illness than the rest of the population.    These numbers may be skewed by

  1.  Those with mental illness may be more attracted to the prepackaged friends that the Borg offers as well as the promise of the paradise fixing their problems.

  2   Born ins without any mental illness may be more likely to leave the Borg.     They may be quicker to see the cult for what it really is.

  Need to vent: Wife just went in full cult mode, huge fight. she is so brainwashed

  out of the blue my wife started to ask me about my feeling about the borg.

  i told her i didn't want to talk about it...she persisted.

  she already knows how i feel, i told her that my biggest beef is that they use mind control, and yep she went in to how i was an apostate and how she doesn't want to be married to an apostate.

  GTTM.    Hang in there.       A lot of us are in the same situation.     I have taken a break from trying to teach my wife TTATT and am playing nice for the time being.     I overreached too quickly a few months back and she came close to going to the elders.        I have no intention of letting the Borg split up my wonderful little family.    It can be a long slow game of chess.         I too hate this cult.

  Am I going crazy?

  by HappyDad in

  2. beliefs

  am i going nuts or am i just pissed off?

  there are so many posters who use abbreviations in their posts and so many of us have been out for years.

  the borg constantly changes everything from beliefs to organizational tactics, so those like me don't have a clue to what you are referring to.

  3 million is a nice chunk of change.     If handled properly it can make a difference for generations to come.      If handled poorly it can ruin generations to come.      Good luck and have some fun with it before you pass it on.

  i was beginning to get lured in and brainwashed into accepting the religion as the true religion...but something inside of me told me there was something odd.
