Whats at the end of the rainbow?...I Know!
by OUTLAW insimons thread on noah and the rainbow made me remember this experience.i must have been 7 or 8 at the time.we lived on an island in the pacific ocean,and storms would come and go.our home was right on the beach so we could see what ever happened there.anyway a storm had just past and the clouds had just started to break,and the sun came peaking through.this magnificent rainbow appeared.one end of the rainbow went miles and miles away from shore into the ocean horizon.the other end landed squarly in the yard on our beach.i couldn`t contain myself ,i had to find out what was at the end of the rainbow.so i ran outside and grabbed the clam digging shovel.with my shovel in hand,i ran to the end of the rainbow and started to dig.i dug as hard as i could and then i hit something.so i dug harder to get it out.finaly i had it,it was a rusted out bucket full of sand.ha-ha-ha!so how many people you know,got to actually dig at the end of the rainbow!...outlaw

Negative Reinforcement of World View
by Ranchette inhello everyone,.
i have had alot of surprises this past year since leaving the organization.it was scary at first.. one thing in particular i have realized recently is how much i subconsciencely reinforced the wts negative view of the world when i was a witness.. for example,i used to watch more negative tv programs which convinced me that the jws were right.shows such as 911,cops,true crime stories,new detectives,unsolved mysterys,cnn.....on and on.. i still like these shows and see nothing wrong with them.i can just see that i never watched anything positive when i was a jw.. or when i heard some tragedy i dwelt on it but ignored positive things.. just before i quit going to meetings i started looking at the world with new eyes.. it was very strange and confusing at first to see things more clearly.. we were taught that the word is wicked and there are just a few good people.. i have found the complete opposite to be true.. the good in this world far out ways the bad.. does anyone understand what i am saying?.

Anyone done an 'end of the world' psych study?
by Bang inhas anyone looked into what psychological factors or psychosocial structures, apart from if your parents were jw, persuade people to believe that the world is going to end soon?
there are groups of people apart from jws who also succumbe to this perplexing phenomena, and i wonder what triggers it, and/or if there are any official studies on it.
i reckon it'd make a good thesis.. maybe it's mainly a city thing?.
