I don't know how to ask this ?
by boy@crossroads inok so anyway i have been fading for a little over a year now.
during that time i have been primarily focusing on improving my social skills: reconnecting with old high school pals, trying to make sense of the world, trying to connect with others, opening myself up to new belief systems, activities.
now that i am becoming more comfortable around people i am considering pursuing a relationship with someone.

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.

jw meetings and obedience to the society
by boy@crossroads inin what ways does each of the jw meetings play a part in instilling obedience to the mother organization?
or maybe put another way, how does each weekly jw meeting contribute to the overall jw mindset?.
this thought came to me whilst drifting in and out of the watchtower study this morning.. ministry school: helps jws strengthen their speaking skills for better defending their beliefs.

The "REAL" world
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?

need some advice
by boy@crossroads ini've been doing the fade for about 5 months now and doing my best to stay away from all witnesses.
i'm currently living with my brother who is still an active witness.
i've been doing my best these last couple of months to establish friends away from the twoof.

strange experience yesterday
by boy@crossroads inyesterday, i was in the public library looking at free minds and reading the posts.
after i'd finished reading on free minds i'd figured i'd go over to the magazine section to catch up on some current events.
as i got up to move to the other section the next person in line for computer use was a young mormon boy.
