maybe you're all familiar with this subject already but i just came across it tonight.
it's an article about whether or not amway is a cult.
the similarities between jehovah's witnesses and amway are incredible.. http://www.cocs.com/jhoagland/amcult.html.
wow
when I was a kid my Dad was really into amway. and its funny all the simularities.
My parents were RC, then amway was injected into our family,, several years go by and all of a sudden BAM,,, we are now jw's.
What a messed up system this was.

here is a dramatic statement: .
I have several friends who are mormons, and they baptize 2-3 people every other week around here.
They use pretty much the same method of two people dorr to door, but they are supported by a vast
pool of media information which no doubt helps them.
the talk outlines for the summers conventions are only being printed over the next 2 weeks or so.. the finished outlines were ready in the middle of december 2009, however sources that i trust tell me that at least 5 of the talks were returned for last minute rewriting which is highly unusual.
this has held up the printing until now, a delay of over a month.
this is a fact!!.
Thanks for posting .
I appreciate your efforts in doing this
By the way jw freak,,,, what country are you from, (i can't identify the flag) !
i remember a talk that was delivered at an assembly a while back that was repeated many times in my old hall and i remember it had a line in it that had one of those effects on people like they would go into a silent trance.
if you were allowed to "oooh!
" or "awe!
shyness is a very real block to enjoying service. Unless I had some extroverted person with me I always hated it.
It was easier to allow my partner to talk , I'm quite the shy one in real lfe.
i was df-ed 3 years ago.
during the process nothing extraordinary happened.
everything proceeded as if according to a script.
This ignorant a-hole told my son in front of me and everyone else that he would help him in the future with his talks 'cause he no longer had a father
Damn, that was a horrible thing to say !
I hope you and your son are doing well.

not to change the subject here, (sorry)
but after I da'ed myself I started to pray, and for the first time in years I felt that God was listening to me
has anyone noticed these appearing on peoples' facebook profiles?
.

troubled mind:
I would like to see that email, could you pm it to me or start a new thread ?
wow, my head is still spinning.
let me start from the beginning.. i got baptized in 1978, my sister in 1982. she ended up getting df'ed for fornication after one year (going out and living with a guy at 18 years old).. so according the the org.
belief system, there has been hardly any contact with her all these years.. ok, now fast forward, my wife and i da'ed ourselves one year ago.. now i find out that my dad keeps in contact with my dfed sister, yet he ignores my family and my other two sisters (who never became witnesses, they say all the dysfunction over the years).. i find it funny how he picks and chooses what to believe.. because i have left the jw's,,,, i'm basically nobody.. but my sister who left in a blaze of glory by smoking, fornicating, and turning her back on the org.
wow thats a strange one, you must have your head screwed on straight to deal with that !
Thanks for the story

But my sister who left in a blaze of glory by smoking, fornicating, and turning her back on the org. is OK to associate with.
My other two sisters who are decent-hardworking women he does not speak to.
Since when has this religion become the walmart of spiritual - decisions ?
