The biggest news of the year for Mr. and Mrs. Totally ADD

by Still Totally ADD in

jw
friends

this is bigger than christmas and birthdays wrap into one.

thanks to the australian royal commission our youngest son has woke up.

we received a e-mail from him tonight where he apologized to us for shunning us all these years, how bad he felt for doing this.

TOTALLY ADD & REOPENED MIND- I am so happy for you guys that you have your son back ! That is outstanding news ! Been busy and missed this thread until this morning. This is an absolutely beautiful thing that's happened in your life !

Give that son of yours a hug for me and Mrs. Flipper and tell him there are many out here that understand not only what he went through in exiting, but we understand the whole dynamic of what happens in a family during these situations. This gives me hope that one day one or both of my daughters might eventually wake up to TTATT. At least I have a close relationship with my ex-JW son as well. I am so thrilled you both got your son back ! I will clink my glass in a toast to your family being together again tonight ! Take care buddy, we will talk soon. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

hillary is very supportive of doing whatever it takes to undermine trump.

would you be happy if she were your president?.

No, I wish Bernie Sanders had become my president. We would have had much less trauma than we have had this last year and a half. Peace out, Mr, Flipper

Do You Think Many Jehovah’s Witnesses Truly Believe?

by minimus in

i did for many years even if i had doubts that i would put on the back burner.

but i thought the majority of witnesses believed, even if they were “weak” in the faith.. obviously, we have elders , pioneers and ministerial servants that are here and they are not true believers.. do you think many jws simply do not believe what they are preaching?

This > What Orphan Crow said , " They will sell their family, their friends and their soul for a chance at that Promise . "

So instead of selling their souls to an imaginary " Satan " or " Devil " - Jehovah's Witnesses sell their soul to the WT Society and the REAL Devils that are running that organization. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

If the way my still in JW family behaves totally hardcore is any indication, I'd say about 70 to 75 % still believe in the WT illusion. Any conversations I've had on the street with JW's at carts or random places when they try to preach at me- they always still seem totally deluded and under mind control. They have no critical thinking ability whatsoever. Like their brain neurotransmitters have been singed only to view things one way- the JW way. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Cults in our Midst

by Lee Elder in

this is related to a comment i made in a previous thread.

cults exist in many diverse parts of society.

this includes politics.

flipper

LEE ELDER- Excellent thread . I agree with this sociologist's views, very much so.

Trump is so controlling & dominating and uses fear and disinformation like cults do to control their followers. He does this not only to influence, indoctrinate and control his followers, he also uses this same method to control Senators within the Republican party. He has members of his own party under control and fear I believe. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Separating children at the border....

by mikeflood in

i mean, the law about separating children from their fathers crossing southern us border have been in the books since before obama's era.

the thing is that enforcing that law it has become a public relations disaster for the trump administration.

there's also to much animosity in latin america too, remember the classic agitator "u.s. is the evil empire that treat us badly just to see always their own interests".

flipper

SHIRLEY - Your statement is SO true - " That's what I've said here several times about the Drumpf supporters I've always said his blind followers would be excellent JWS. "

That's the point Shirley ! Some of Trumps followers WERE excellent JWS in the past - they've just switched their cult loyalties to the " cult of Trump " now. Went from one dominating, controlling , uncaring cult to another. Unfortunately for some folks it's a perfect fit, sadly. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

And STAR TREK ANGEL- Your views are right on the money. Very true. Peace out, Mr. Flipper
