As a Witness I Hated Personal Study- How About You ?
by flipper ini started a serious thread on cult mind control- so i figured i'd start a sarcastic funny thread, or serious, your choice how to explore it , on personal study !
i got so sick and tired as a witness with that expression being crammed down my throat !
" personal study " they told us !

Happiness and the minds of JW's
by megaflower inif god is termed "the happy god" and he truly wants people to be happy, even in the present sense, then why are so many witnesses unhappy, miserable deep down inside, popping who knows what kind of prescription pills, and even driven to the point of suicide?
can witnesses ever truly measure up?
we've been told: "the new system will take care of everything"; "don't get an education in the world"; "don't save for retirement".

How's this for twisted thinking
by freedomfighter inmany of us have most likely had to listen to a talk that has a statement like this - .
" imagine when you are in the new system in a beautiful place, you will be able to look back and think ' wow!
i had a good share in the preaching work and was part of fulfilling mat 24:14".

The difficulty of recovering from JW teachings
by DT init's difficult to free yourself from years of cult influence.
i'm concerned that i may still be suffering from hidden assumptions that i haven't considered.
i'll have to examine my thinking for the rest of my life, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.. it would be easier if we could reject everything we were taught, but that's not really possible.

Too busy being JWs to be Christians!!
by strawberry cake insome jws are so busy being jws, they have forgotten how to be christians.
the wts obsession with hours has led to the sick, elderly and depressed receiving rare visits because the time can't be counted.
if the wt allowed the time to be counted - i wonder how many visits these ones would suddenly start receiving?

Special announcement last night just for our area
by seek2find inwell, the letter was read and it applied to our area.
it seems that a lot of people that attend the district convention in our area are not following the rooming arrangements.
so the letter was strong wording about using just the rooms on the list even if it means traveling 45 miles to do so.

jehovah's people are the most honest in all the earth.
