Sister "I just have to comment all the time" had my thought...
by wanderlustguy ini was thinking about how one of the cult tactics come into play in such a simple action, like commenting at the meetings.
don't know if it was the same everywhere, but at our hall, sometimes the wt study conductor would call on a couple of people in sequence, the first would give thier comment, then brother "i get to carry the microphone" would run over to the other, just for them to say "he, she had my thought".
just that statement "they had my thought" says so much now.

Socialization of JW Kids
by Mysterious inthrough the course of my university studies in social sciences there seems to be a repeated emphasis on early socialization shaping personality and having a drastic effect on the long term life of kids.
studies of extreme neglect are often the only ones cited, such as children locked in a closet for the early years of their lives with no human contact.
it's lead me to wonder about the long term effects of jw socialization on youths that are raised in the organization.

WT's Strong Hold on the In-active
by sandy inok, this past friday i organized a meetup for ex-witnesses in my local area.
i invited my brother who was never baptized (was almost baptized at 13 but one of the elders asked him to wait till he studied throught he second book).

What is the deal with "greediness"?
by daystar ini don't recall this word being used all that much when i was a dub.
but i've seen people comment on this a bit lately.
so... sinning "with greediness" is different than other forms of sinning?

Collateral damage
by dinah inhello folks, this is the first topic i've started, so bear with me please.. i had searched the internet to try and find my way, made a stop here a couple of years ago but just now decided to join.
anyhoo, in all my searching i've realized that many ex-jws aren't dealing well.
that raises a question for me, because after finally reading the gospels i realized jesus would never treat people the way the gb does even in the interest of keeping a congregation clean (which is a joke, btw).. the anger seems to come out of nowhere.

I Feel At Peace
by confused_101 ini haven't been on here in a few days, or if i did get on it was only for a few minutes.
the last few days i have felt strangely at peace, with life, with my children, and with me.
im wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that i just lost my mother in law.
