i forgot my wallet and went back home to get it.
i see 25 yr old jws working the door next to me.
i attack shaking my head at them.
Witnesses (usually two together) will just lick their wounds and move on,
Basic psychology shows that information might be forgotten but the memory of emotions felt in such an encounter never will,
Steve Hassan has a lot to say about helping people get out,
He emphasizes KINDNESS,
I concur,

we all know the jw doctrine of life and resurrection on earth after armageddon.
this video inadvertently explores the flaws in the doctrine.

"Why don't we just make up stuff as we go along?"
If you've ever wondered why it's impossible to reason with them,
My headaches are so much better since I left!
:0)
is this the reaction you get when you walk into a kingdom hall sporting your new beard 🙄.
.
The question is: "WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?"
(Some sort of a legend that says men with beards are hiding something)
Anybody heard of this?
:0)

(I guess I can laugh now)
Gave the first talk (CO visit hee hee)
Later one sister complained/reported that she was "shocked" , she "could not hear anything I was saying"
She shunned me
She made lot of noise,

no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.
instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .
These viseos are NASTY!
For decades since 1966 we actually enjoyed colorful costumed Bible Dramas,
Of course we are not believers now,
But these dramas would usually leave us feeling good,
What I've seen on the internet of these "videos" has left me feeling creeped out,
I wonder about how active JWS feel,
:0)
so it's not enough that i'm dealing with post traumatic stress/anxiety and panic attacks all related to my life as a jw (50 years baptized -- i stopped going a couple of months ago) at 3 a.m. i get an email from the other side of the world.
'you have to go to the convention.
bro sanderson says we must watch the news, things are happening.
"Some people are saying"
Some people have never proved to be reliable,
I recommend a book on Cognitive Behavorial Therapy,
Such as: Cognitive Behavorial Therapy for Dummies
Your library should have it,
Quite effective against anxiety,
All the best,

i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.
the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .
the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.
Wow this man is thrifty to be able to save that well on a Special Service allowance!
:)
I was just thinking that in Canada years ago, all Bethelites took vows of poverty for tax reasons,
So, huh?
:(
i think the finished mystery book probably contains the stupidest beliefs ever recorded!
almost any prophecy publication but especially anything to do with revelation, is unbelievable!
.
Don't quote me but I believe I read that Vaccinations can lead to demonic possession!
:(
i don't think this applies to the watchtower corporation as the beginning this is talking about the more extreme forms.
but interesting just the same.
i'm sure we see some of the wt's depictions of death and and destruction(verbal and in pictures) that awaits those not in corporate "jehovah's" favor, a clear uses of inducing maximum fear and stress to make the mind more suggestable to corporate directives.
NWT talks about "mental regulation" , Paul says that the goal is: that "every thought become captive to the Christ", FOG (Fear Obligation Guilt) sounds to me like brainwashing, just a more insidious form,
Brainwashing lite?
:0)
I'm trying to reconcile the idea that A GOVERNING BODY MEMBER was PUBLICLY wearing even what appears to be a $10,000 watch when an MS is being deleted over him having a beard,
The latter was being done on the basis that a brother with a beard was not "modest"
Huh?
:0)
