Mind Control in the Watchtower
by SYN inintroduction .
having been a witness for many, many years, about 15 to be exact, i just thought i'd explain a few things for new-comers to this site about what it's like to be a "dub".
"dub" is just a convenient shorthand for "jehovah's witness", and is not meant to be derogatory, but i think i will stick to calling them witnesses here for the sake of people visiting during the furore upon whose brink we are sitting.. much of those early years i don't really remember.

Here is my sad but true story!!!
by dissedsis ini was born into a well off family in the wee year of 1979. my father was a water/oil well driller and worked days on end so i rarely ever got to see him.
by the time i was waking up in the mornings he was already at work and when he returned home at night i had already gone to bed, so most of my days where spent without him.
i had sister that was 14 years older than i was and she had severe brain damage and had to be placed in a state home when i was 18 months old, so i do not remember to much about home life with her, other than it was like we had a "big" baby at home with us.

Dissociated family excluded from funeral services
by Pardus inapparently, disassociated relatives are not allowed to be in the procession lines at kingdom hall services.
they can attend but they cannot be with their relatives to receive condolenses.
this happened recently to someone whose aunt had passed away.

Is Sex Just Sex, or is Sex making love?
by butalbee inokay, my ex says that sex is just sex, it isn't love.
love is deeper than sex, and sex is just to feel good...he also says that love is an entirely different thing, and if i think having sex has anything to do w/ sex, then i am crazy.
what is your views on this..

Allies or Enemies but no real Friends
by OUTLAW inover the past decades i`ve noticed most jw`s have allies or enemies but no real friends.as long as dub`s toe the wbts line,thier dub friends and family are friendly to them.should wbts tell them to turn thier backs on dub friends or family,most will do so in a heartbeat.most dubs are loyal to wbts period,there is no room for real friends and family.today`s allie is tommorows enemie.it`s a crime that a religious cult like this can tear away at the very fabric that holds the family unit together.how many of us have seen this played out over and over again?...outlaw

Response from local TV Station
by Bendrr ini emailed the 3 local tv news websites and the local paper.. i've gotten 2 responses back, one a form letter and this one from wmaz-13 was a personal response:.
thanks so much for talking back to 13wmaz about jehovah's witnesses.
the information you provide is certainly food for thought, and something we'll certainly check into.. again, thanks for taking the time to write us and for watching 13wmaz!

Cold hearted JWs
by target init just amazes me.
i sent the articles on child molestation to a jw back in wisconsin and her response was "so?".
my son sent the articles to a jw couple he thought were friends and their response was that the victims should keep quiet so as not to bring reproach on jehovah's organization and then they went to the elders and accused my son and daughter-in-law of being apostates.. they can be so cold hearted and never miss a chance to back stab a best friend.. well, it did accomplish one thing.
