Uncaring Attitude of the Society
by donny ini just read the account of a an elderly lady who passed out in a distict convention in canada today (06/20/08).
it seems that as some of the attendees were trying to help by doing cpr, the "brother" on the platform a few feet away speaking did not even pause.
when his talk ended a few minutes later and the lady was still being tended too, the platform folks just announced the next speaker as if nothing was happening.

Cross-Cultural Experiences?
by Babylon the Great Employee in(first, as an american, i must apologize to our international friends for our country ever exporting the watchtower in the first place.
someone should take up the matter with the wto.
seriously, though, i am interested in the differences (if any) in jw's across cultures.

Death,Destruction,Gloom, Oh my!
by jetery inisnt a religion suppose to uplift u and encourage u?
when i was a jw(d'fed now) i remember sitting thru the meetings listening about death and destruction and how people were going to die who were not jw.

Ex has gone to Convention with my kids
by cyberdyne systems 101 ini dont know why, but this has left me feeling angry.. it could be that normally i go and pick them up to take them to school on this morning.
i think its more than likely that i know they are staying there in a hotel and that part of things will be made fun for my children - not that i have a problem with that, its because its coupled with the knowledge that they will be associating it with going to a jw convention, and all that will be is an indoctrination session and self praise for the society.. whilst i think the children will see things from both sides, from me no longer being a jw and living a typical non jw life, and then with their mother (who is a good woman) who is a devoted dub, i think the control techniques and cult thinking and propagander are designed to place mental barriers to which someone like me should be unable to penetrate.
whether in practice that turns out to be so, we'll have to let to time show.. its just so frustrating to think someone can be so blinded, and suck up everything thats spouted out from the leaders, and try their very best to bring their children up with that too.

In spite of it all- not too shabby
by JimmyPage insometimes i used to get a little sad for being a late bloomer by worldly standards.
but when i consider how i've done in spite of my dub background i feel pretty proud: baptized by 16. servant by 19. disillusioned by 22. first date/kiss by 23 (with a worldly girl- the mind control starting to lose hold!
) chance to lose virginity by 24 (but still too brainwashed to give in to my "wrong" desires).

Strange leaders in the hall?
by lancelink ini was thinking about an ms from my hall in the early 90's.. he worked as little as possible, never made an effort to live up to the standards that the wt states are for any ms, but his brother was the service overseer, (the good old boys club.
in action ) and he had some of the most amazing,weird theories!.
out in service he would tell everyone how the us government was preparing holding areas for anyone who questioned the government.. sort of like the japanese camps from ww 2.. did you just see a black helicopter ??
