Cult books for JWS
by In_between_days ini recently purchased "combatting cult mind control" the book by steve hassen and found it very enlightening.
upon the conclusion of that book i did realise once and for all that i was indeed a victim of mind control and that the organisation of jehovahs witnesses certainly qualifies as a "destructive cult" the book was of special interest to me, beacuse it was not written by an ex jw , but by an ex moonie, thus the information is not biased, being particularly written for ex jws.
the similarities of the dubs and the moonies are quite eerie, although there are some differences.

Dramas
by In_between_days inone of the funniest things i will ever remember as a jw are the "big dramas" at the assemblys.
it was amazing how everyone would sit through the torture of the infinate talks and "skits" with an incredibly bored look on their faces, yet when the drama got closer, the apathetic faces piped up, became animated, excited.
it was, as far as i could see the "best of the worst" piece of the programme, and by god, even though i spent almost the entire time at the assemblies outside feeding ducks, i was always in one of the front rows for the drama.

A cult thats worse than the dubs!!
by In_between_days ini dont know if anyone is interested in this, but i have been doing alot of research on popular cults.
my husband was a member of this religious group that i am about to display for 21 years.
his background is so similar to my own that it is bizarre.. www.freedomofmind.com/groups/rci/rci.

Dub Fads
by In_between_days inwhen you were a jw, did you witness a rather large enthusiasm from your congregation for passing fads?
what i mean is, one dub would start something and everyone would join in?
this was especially prevelant with the women of the congregations.. for instance, for a while every female dub was undertaking this strange diet where they basically drink this really odd and particularly disturbing looking mushroom that they kept in their fridge.

by In_between_days inwhat are your experiences in being a target for fresh meat in a cult?
have any other cult members besides dubs ever tried to recruit you?

Need Help and Advise
by In_between_days ini have an ex jw friend who has been out for about 3 years now, and has since been going to every memorial just to keep her family happy.
she is baptised, and so far has sucessfully done the fade, though she has never actually told her parents that she wants no part of the org.
now the memorial is coming up and her family expects her to go.
