my own story 2
by James_Slash ini got up to the point where i spoke about my daughter.. so in 2007 i was stopped from seeing my daughter by my ex-wife with the help of her good standing jw family.. my mother is still a jw and remains as one.
we both suffered lies and slander perpretrated by this family which continues to this day.
in late 2007 i was cleared of any wrong doing and i retained a relationship with my daughter.

Why they MUST treat DFd and DAd the way they do
by Mad Sweeney inseveral decades ago a researcher named solomon asch conducted an experiment on conformity to determine the conditions under which individuals will deny their own senses in order to conform with a group.
if you view the video clip, you will notice in the first two scenarios presented that those who conform tend to do so for one of two reasons: one, they doubt their own judgement in the face of unanimous opposition or two, they still believe they are right but conform in order to avoid conflict within the group.. the key to total shunning of dfd and dad individuals, as well as constant pressure to avoid "bad associations" is based not only in the conformity behaviors mentioned above but due to what asch discovered in the third scenario presented in the video, when the test subject has a single confederate who agrees with him.
the key to conformity within a group is unanimity.

What It's All About
by B_Deserter inaccording to jesus, the second greatest law, after loving god, is "love your neighbor as yourself.
" it is the principle that binds the entire body of the law together, and every rule a christian should follow should have its motivation in these laws.
"love they neighbor" answers the question of why christians behave in a certain way.

a story for easter sunday (aka grab a drink and pull up a chair)
by ana_dote inthis is probably going to be a doozy of a post, as i'm no good at giving the abridged version of stories lol especially when they are about me.
lol i tend to give too many details and not get to the point, but i'll do my best to keep things as short as possible.. that being said, i have finally decided to give you all my background story.. i was born into the organization.
two older sisters.

Remembering why I haven't gotten married
by keyser soze inthere's nothing like a trip to the supermarket to remind a person that being single isn't so bad.
i was at the self-checkout and had a front row seat to a couple in their forties arguing over their inability to operate the scanner.
more to the point, it was her loudly berating him for any attempt he made to help.
