Are elders more "pure" than the other JW's ?
by JH ini always considered elders like "cops" in the congregation, looking into other people's business and looking for faults.
they give the impression that they are pure and do no wrong and by the fact, they can judge others and counsel them.. i'd love to turn the tide around and find out about their faults and sins.. .

Bad memory
by Mrs Smith inwhen i was in my teen years i spoke to an ms and his wife about the physical abuse i had to endure from my father.
while they acted very concerned nothing was done about it.
no one ever spoke to me about it again and my father was never spoken to either.

I've been studying with JW's for a few months..
by MichaelM ini've been studying with the jw's for a few months and i've attended a few meetings but things are feeling somewhat strange...i don't quite get the jist of things but i feel that i'm learning more of what the watchtower teachers and less of what the bible actually says.. i never open my bible.. i'm always reading the watchtower pamphlets.
i really like the people i've met in the congregation and the guy thats been doing the studies with me has been an awesome friend.. .
but i'm just having some issues.. i mean.. they translated their own bible to suit their own doctrines it seems.

Mind Control? or just usual group processes?
by January ini have limited knowledge about mind control from the psychology degree i have just finished.
i had been unhappy with my life as a witno for a long time but one particular lecture really pushed me to the point of leaving and after that lecture i never returned to the meetings.
the lecture was on brain washing tactics employed in the military, there were so many points that struck a chord with me.

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.
