  Hypnotic Language Patterning

  by Simon Morley in

  i have not attended any meetings for three months but recently i was struck by a strange recollection of something common to most meetings i attended.

  at every meeting, regardess of the time of day, frame of mind, secular workload, etc, i would feel i was being lulled into a numbing sleep.

  it was not that the material was boring to me (i have attended many boring secular conferences and never experienced the strange effect that a meeting had on me).

  upon learning that wt was not "god's organization", i was devastated.

  for two decades i had spent valuable time building friendships, mostly with jws.

  during my stay at bethel, i made many fine friends, some of them very close.

  Difference between "raised in the truth" and "converts" that are now X-JWs.

  by Brocephus in

  2. friends

  i am noticing a difference..... "raised in's" seem to be a little more relaxed and better suited for their world after the kh.

  "converts" seem to be a little disoriented.

  maybe b/c they saw the truth as away out of this crazy world only to be massive dissapointed.

  Did you read the literature?

  by WuzLovesDubs in

  2. beliefs

  initially i suppose i did.

  i know i over studied the articles for the wt study because i thought my enthusiasm as a study would make me more accepted.

  but after awhile i didnt read the awakes at all except for a cursory glance because i was giving them to people.

  Why does the WTBS hate sex so much?

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now i know they try to control everything and pretty much ban anything.

  but sex seems to be somthing they can't stand and would like to get rid of completly if they could.

  so many articles and so much conusel about not having sex or having anything to do with sex from any angle at all.
