everyone questioning the war is a communist
Truly? Comrade, say it ain't so. If you speak truth, I'll tell the politburo, I swear!

WoMD ... so where are they?
by Simon innow, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!
perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.
now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.

Any scientific theories on why humans suffer from self delusion?
by sleepy in.
i would have to say that in my experience , all humans suffer from a certain level of self delusion.hey its normal.from the man who will never admit he's wrong, the croaky singer who thinks she's a opera star , the "model" with the looks of the back end of a pig, and jw's who are the only true religion.. so do we have an in built self delusion programe?is it helpful in anyway to delude overslves as to our weeknesses?.
maybe being constantly aware of all our faults would be too much for us to handle,causing us to go bananas.our brain may need to introduce a level of stability in our lives and wont let us be "weak'nd" by discovering we belive a false piece of information our idea about ourself that if revealed to the conscious mind could causes severe disruption to our lives.prehaps pride is the bodies weapon against stress caused by negative truths.. any thoughts?

I think it's just that people need to have something unreal in their lives to ease their pain. They don't know how to do it in a normal fashion, and they're willing to delude themselves to feel better.

I like my profession, I don't like my job.
I have to drive 140 miles total to and from work. Yesterday it took me 3 hours to get home.
I'm paid 29,500 for something that all of my other peers at this site are making 45,000 or more. I also have had the best numbers (call closures), highest level of satisfaction from my clients, etc. They're boffing (lol @ Edit) me over because they can. Bad economy they say, so they can get away with it.
Still, I'm pretty good at what I do, and people respect me (beyond the people who pay me).

Jehovah's Witnesses are the fall of Babylon The Great
by lawrence inrevelation 18 and the fall of babylon the great includes all the political, social, and religious entities - yes folks - that includes the jehovah's witnesses that have denied the power of the christ, and the power of the holy spirit.
all kingdom halls will burn with the churches as the revolutions mount worldwide over necessities, and become rampant with demon spirits.
the same "friends" that would run you over for the perfect parking spot at an assembly, will traverse door to door, and upon finding you, will eat your flesh (joesphus like in 70 ce).

Redneck,
It's an easy one to use. They can't see it, you can fake it forever, you can say that sitting in those chairs hurts, etc. Also, there is a public park adjacent to the hall, and so I would just take long walks in the park during meetings. Worked for me.

Kobe charged ! so sad !, will JW's use him as an example for their young ?
by run dont walk inanytime something went wrong in the world with an individual, they would use them as example over and over and over again.. the most common one i heard was brother a got into big trouble with __________ (insert problem here, pick any one), see this is what happens when you leave the organization.. so how many jw's will be saying ............. "did you hear what happened to kobe, big successful athlete, see he didn't have god's organization and satan got him.".
i wonder how many jw parents especially in the la area will make their kids stop wearing number 8. he did and admit to committing adultrey.
sexual assault, i don't think so.

They say this girl just lost a boyfriend, and lost a friend in death. Not only that, but she overdosed on pills in the past year. She just sounds like a really unstable lady who misinterpreted a sexual act that she consented to. She might have felt ashamed, etc, and accused him to make herself feel better. Who really knows?

What Made You Leave The "Truth"? Was It False Prophecy, People, Blood, etc.
by minimus injw's like to believe that people who leave the organization do it for selfish reasons or due to impatience and not "waiting on jehovah".
there's a variety of reasons for persons making the decision and saying, "that's it!
i'm not doing this anymore".

However, take all this with a grain of salt. In the past couple of days I've discovered that I'm not only thin skinned but I also use highly emotive language and I am completely unbalanced in my viewpoint
LOL. Not quite, BT. Thin skinned? LOL
As for me, I left because of what I saw; hordes of unhappy people, all saying they were the happiest on earth. I knew the inside and out of the seediest of the seedy, the people who continually broke the rules and got away with it because of connections, etc. Just like big business. Once I made the connection between American Big Business and the Watchtower, all of the doctrinal changes and emotional stuff just came falling into place.

How many countries are JWs banned in?
by dmouse inlooking at some older branch letters in the kms i noticed this one from april 1977, which makes the claim that it is to be expected that opposition will increase.
in 1977 the number of countries that banned jws stood at 40. according to the latest yearbook, 28 'other lands' (which used to mean lands where reporting was restricted) were at the end of the report.
does this mean that things are, the deeper we get into the 'time of the end', actually getting better?.

not nearly enough dude not nearly enough
LOL.
You know that new "Do Not Call" list that the USA has, for people who don't want to be bugged by telemarketers? Wouldn't that be a scream if they also made it law where Bethel also had to abide by this Do Not Call list?? ROFLMAO!!
I had actually thought of that, too. I think it's do-able, the only thing is, it would probably go to the supreme court if there was any sort of organized do-not-call list. Would be nice, though.
