Same answer as karvel. Your site is a remarkable resource, and when my JW is ready to look at such material your Web site is going to be the first resource I share with him.

Zeroday, what do you mean by "death videos"? I don't want to Google it. I'm not sure if you mean violent gruesome death, or peaceful passings, or what -- it's hard to comment without knowing more of what you mean. In any case, like Hortensia I have witnessed death in person on numerous occasions, and have been surprised by how calm and peaceful it has been. I've never witnessed a violent death though, and don't want to.
Have you ever witnessed death first-hand, or only through these videos? I don't think it's sick to be interested in and curious about the idea of dying itself, but I'm not sure if that's what you're saying or if you're saying that you're fascinated by violent death, which to me is a different matter entirely. -

What was said about Earth, Wind and Fire?
by Vachi 8 He Is ini remember being in my dub uncles friends car when e,w & f came on and he goes "don't let your unc know you heard this song".
i didn't ask why at the time, but then some years later i hear again that dubs have something against e, w & f. (not that they don't have something against anyone who isn't one of them) but what went on between the two groups?

I believe there was a JW rumor (AKA urban legend) that Earth Wind & Fire asked all JWs to leave during a concert, because their presence was interfering with their channeling of demons or some such. I have heard this same story about John Denver and Don Ho.
So yeah, take that for what it's worth LOL. -

Reading Steve Hassan's Book. WOW!
by White Dove inhassan's book is helping me so much in letting go and not being affraid of being found out by the jw's here in "greenland.
" .
what amazing information about how the jw's compare to other high control groups and cults.. he hasn't even mentioned the jw's, so far.. it is helping me so much in gaining my confidence and not worrying about what jw's preach about the end of the world, and such.. i love this book!.

I too found "Combatting Cult Mind Control" to be brilliant and insightful in ways I didn't expect. Coming at it from the perspective of a non-JW trying to help a JW, it was especially helpful to me because it explained exactly WHY so many of the initial knee-jerk reactions are wrong, and what to do instead. This book gave me insights I've not found anywhere else, and helped me learn how to approach things effectively rather than just instinctively (in the case of JWs, the two are often at odds!).
I'm glad you're reading it and finding from it the commonalities amongst cults in general. That must be incredibly freeing and enlightening for one who has suffered a JW life, to learn that it's not unique to JWs but rather is a mindf*ck that has hurt and ensnared others in all kinds of different contexts. Man behind the curtain indeed, that's all the WTS is and they're not even special or unique about it. -

I was surprised how many still wanted to know what their family and friends were being exposed to each week. Now instead of the WT way, each of us have a choice to read or not read the material ... Does this bring people out of the WTS? I can't say to numbers...
(Forgive me for the dreaded ellipses LOL)
Personally, I value your efforts very much because it is the only way I have consistent access to the study articles, and as a non-JW I also find your analyses very helpful in deciphering them and seeing what is truly being said, especially in subtler terms of history and context. I don't know if it brings people out of the WTS, I can only speak for myself as one who was never in the WTS to begin with, but for those of us who are trying to get loved ones out your work is invaluable.
I don't often comment on the threads, but I do read them and appreciate knowing that I've this huge resource at my fingertips when I need it. So thank you, from one who values your work very much but rarely says so
(As for the upcoming "Things From Which We Must Flee," I expect a long and predictable list ) -

I don't think anyone is surprised. It doesn't have to be new to be barf-worthy.

"Obviously, killing her is forbidden and is a grave sin. At the most she should be flogged."
Yes, obviously. Nice. What an ignorant tool -

1. Because I see ZERO evidence that it is or even could be "the truth," and every argument in favor that has been presented to me has been patently and demonstrably bogus.
Sorry, I only have one LOL.
***Edited to add, I do have a #2: Truth doesn't change, waffle, and flip-flop. -

If D A Adams was the PO of your congregation would our parents have bailed?
by IreallydidwalkoutofaKH inmy take is that most dubs have never seen most of the gb.
when i have shown them the pictures of some, such as danny sydlic i beleive he was the one with the eyebrows a mile long.
most dubs pass it of as they are not serving the gb but rather christ.

My JW has no idea who is on the GB. He also has no real understanding of how these people came to be "Jehovah's Chosen Mouthpiece" in the first place. Yet their spewings are still the truth, no questions asked (literally). Go figure.
