Practical Jokes on JW conditioning
by Paralipomenon induring my fading process i started to see a routine that much like pavlov's bell.
years of mental conditioning had people trained to behave and react in a certain way.
one thing that always annoyed me was the conditioned applause response to talks at the assembly.

Deep thoughts: Is Jehovah omnipotent?
by Paralipomenon injehovah is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.
he is the god of gods and all powerful.
this is a fairly accepted teaching and one that no active witness would argue with.

Update: Discussion with my wife last night
by Paralipomenon infor those not familiar, i faded from the organization many years ago and my wife hasn't been to any meetings or service in about 5-6 years either.
though she insists she's still a jw so we don't celebrate holidays and the children aren't allowed to participate in holiday activities at school.
i was content for many years to just let her do her own thing, but when the children started going to school i noticed how confusing it was for them.

Interesting family supper on the weekend
by Paralipomenon inwell last night our family was invited over to my brother's place for supper and my parents were invited as well.
my brother is an amazing cook and wasting that talent with a menial job, but that is another story, we get to benefit from his cooking.
so the conversation eventually comes around to the blood issue and the sextuplets, it has been so long since i have had a conversation with active dubs that this was very interesting to watch.
