mind games to free yourself of jw fear mentality
by boy@crossroads ini find that to get rid of the jw mentality i have to play mind games on myself as i go throughout my day.
one tactic that i've been using recently involves telling myself "now as i go through this (whatever) situation how would you act if you had never been exposed jehovahs witnesses".
it really is an amazing thing for me b/c after i think about the situation i really do become more comfortable and the true "me" comes out.

scientology?
by boy@crossroads injust found this in the april issue of people magazine talking about religious views in hollywood.
there is an insert asking about scientology.
it says, "advocates of the church praise its literacy and drug recovery programs, though its reputation suffers because former members have called it a mind-controlling cult.

Why am I around these freaks !!!
by boy@crossroads inwell i went to the prince concert this time around with some of my jw "friends".
there was a whole row of us.
after one of princes solos, one of my pals (a sister 10 years older than myself) turns to me and says "just think we'll be playing with him in paradise".

by boy@crossroads in.
.
i know minimus has probably asked this question before, but after leaving the witnesses what did the real world become to you as opposed to the world the witnesses choose to see it as?
