I think this issue is an abuse of human rights greater than the pedophilia issue, not in specific degree per instance, but in gross numbers of people affected. Both are institutionalized violence.

I remember the deep relief transitioning from the awkward plaintive mew of asking for 50 cents for the both of them, and seeing the householder check his pocketses for change, and sometimes finding some and sometimes not, and sometimes me sheepishly putting the mags back in my bag because he could/would not pay for them, to the awkward plaintive mew of asking the householder to just take the goddam forsaken soul-crushing pieces of trash out of my hand FOR FREE and let me get away.

"I am intending, among other things, to conduct studies comparing the psychology of JWs to random samples of non-JWs. Being a JW is so influential on one's cognition that they just might see the world differently in a quantifiable way."
The wife has accused me, because of being so long in the cult and sitting through thousands of hours of platform, that my ear-brain connection actually turns off when I hear her say certain thing (things that do not make sense to me), or details irrelevant to what is at hand, etc. I may just have no memory allocation for these things.

"How can girls guard against temptation in this sex-crazy world?"
by Apognophos inthis is from the questions from readers in the 12/15/61 watchtower.
i present it unabridged and without comment.
your own comments, however, are welcome.. "when a girl reaches the age of puberty or physical maturity, her body has developed in the matter of sex more than in the mind.

I figured out I was in the right and consistent universe when in Evolutionary Psychology they said that female chimpanzees sneak out of the alpha male harem at night to hook up with other males.

Anybody have ideas about the double slit experiement with particles, how they react based on a human mind observing them?
by EndofMysteries inhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfpeprq7ogc.
that's just crazy, that if the particles are being monitored and data recorded, they act exactly as we 'think' they should act.
however if they are not being monitored and no way to watch them, then they act completely different and more random.

Upon reflection, I see I hastily reacted to this and got it wrong. I read the FAQ and the GB is simply baldly and flagrantly lying out their pie-hole. Of course they interfere with the private choices of the mentally, emotionally, socio-economically, etc, infirm. A simpler explanation. Whew. The universe is complex but not thoroughly inexplicable.

Uh, this flips a hair trigger of mine. I don't know if there's an argumentum latinum pretensiosis for it.
"We do not interfere in the Christmas celebrations of others."
They are claiming a power or capacity or capability to do a thing about what people in the world are already doing, and have been doing, for centuries or decades, depending on the custom. This is consistent with their making themselves the center of the known universe and the center of time.
If a freshman science student were to test out this claim using metrics that quantify momentum transfer between the thermal exhalation of a JW at a door step with some panda cartoons on a beautiful snowy pre-Christmas winter day, and the motions of the householder as they wrap gifts, hang lights, etc, etc, that student would discover, separately and repeatably, in household after household, state after state, to at least the sixth sigma, that JWs do not possess, in the first place, the power or capacity or capability to "interfere in the Christmas celebrations of others", even if they were foaming at the mouth or slouching towards brains or titrating some mad test tubes to attempt to do so. Pretension to influence outside their cult. (Or, the mentally, emotionally, spiritually, psychically, ontologically, socio-economially infirm, which alas is a nontrivial %.)

This first moment I felt like I was really on the right track was when I started the physics degree and the first lab experiment was to drop a ball bearing over and over and record where in a circle it landed. This was Gaussian statistics, normal distribution, a bell curve. I was a freshman. It was me interrogating, to the extent of my own experimental resources, time and degree of precision, an assertion by authority. I was testing the veracity of what the authority had asserted. LO! The authority, in this one instance, had been correct. The authority, in this one instance, had been telling the truth. The Truth about the Truth of Gaussian statistics, normal distribution, or bell curve, was that it had been correct and true all along, and I could separately reproduce that fact, at will, day or night, January or Tuesday, wearing chartreuse or knit slippers, eating green ham or checking the mail. It was a fact that permeated the entire realm and reach of my senses, it lay beneath and behind my reality, it was a fact that didn't give a flying rat's ass if I knew it or not.
Later in that lab we tested that authoritarian assertion that gravity's acceleration is 9.8m/s/s. You know what they say about scientists and NASA engineers who managed to land a man on the moon, accidentally, 12 times - They are talking out their asses with worldly knowledge and they don't really know what they're talking about and they lack the wisdom of Jehovah that leads to everlasting life. I didn't test that far, but we rolled things of a certain mass down slopes and recorded velocities and calculated transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy and LO!!!!! ZOMG!!!!!! The authority, in this Other one instance, had been correct. Gravity at the surface of earth is 9.8m/s/s, and we proved it, individually, using some basic materials, at will, separately, reproducibly, day or night, January or Tuesday, wearing chartreuse or knit slippers, eating green ham or checking the mail.
GB cannot suffer young minds learning how to test. To test, in the infinitive. The god of the JWs says 'Do not test me.' That god is anti-science. Science is the relentless, belligerent, unapologetic attack on what is known to be unknown, what is known to have possibly changed, what is known to have possibly been misunderstood.
