I Have A Problem With the Shepherding Kids article on Cedars Blog
by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker ingo ahead and rip me to shredds, been in the elder's backroom sooo many times i'am use to it.. "cedar's blog" is usually really good, but i see a error being created here:.
"this particular article overtly urges parents to gain access to the minds of their children in order to influence their life decisions.... frequently talking with your children gives you greater access to their thoughts and feelings.
that, in turn, will help you to have a greater influence on the decisions they make in life.

Any undercover/apostate/awake/ex-JW's...
by OneDayillBeFree inat the district convention in nc?.
although it's not my assigned convention, i had to come here and help some brothers with the new video equipment that's being used for the international tie in with new jersey.. i walked out into the auditorium and saw so many faces and thought, "i wonder how many people here know ttatt..." .
i was a little skeptical about giving out my location but i figure no one here knows who i am.

Your final WTF? Moment!
by restrangled init was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.
i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.
i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!

I Need Help Getting My Head Straight.......
by TTATTelder inone of the things i have been wresting with mentally is unraveling the "us vs. them" mentality that has been driven into my skull in the organization.. i am starting this thread seeking advice on how others have come to grip with this.. this is what i struggle with:.
i like the feeling/thought of being among people that live, or try to live, or at least know they ought to live by higher standards of conduct (maybe it is just what i'm used to...).
when you walk out of a convention of people dressed up, clean-cut, shaven, non-smoking, less-profanity-speaking, fairly orderly etc and see what greets you in the streets outside, it is a big contrast.. i am also still trying to understand how a religion that has conned people (so is morally wrong) could also be so well organized and have a lot of truly decent folks among their ranks.
