  Even sadder is when ignorant people pile onto newbie posters with NO proof whatsoever, just a "gut feeling" based on nothing, and claim that an apology will be forthcoming when the newbie proves (outs) themselves. Pretty disgusting.

  It is dead wrong to out someone on this forum who needs or wants to maintain anonymity for any reason and is not causing real-time damage to other posters. It is EQUALLY WRONG to try and FORCE some poster about whom you have UNFOUNDED SUSPICIONS to expose themselves here so that you can satisfy yourself that they are "verified" and "real." That is what makes it hypocritical.

  Whoops, sorry, I stand corrected. You didn't demand she out herself. You only suggested she was a liar and a fraud. My bad. Apologies.

  Believing Everything Someone Tells You

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are you the type of person that believes everything a person says?.

  typically, my radar goes up, especially if a person either brags about all his or her accomplishments or tells you a sob story about how awful their life is.. i was reading here today about how some posters have been upset with others for either feeling someone is fraudulent or is uncaring or caring too much.. the funny thing is that most of us never really know who or what a person/poster is all about.

  they could be perfectly upfront and tell you everything in a most truthful way or they could be conning you.

  Tula, are you aware of the definition of "hypothetical?" or are you going to try to continue your witchhunt here too?

  hello my friends.

  just wanted to share with you some of these main points in the chapter called " unlocking cult mind control" in steve hassan's book " combatting cult mind control" as i'm getting to the part in the book of putting into action how to help people , witnesses or any other mind controlled member of a cult to get out and escape to gain their freedom of thought back again.

  so thought you might like it !

  Thanks for the Cliff's Notes Mr Flipper. I just want to add that my husband used Hassan's information to get me out of the WT. It did not feel like an intervention. In fact it was subtle enough so it felt quite like I discovered things all on my own. :) He started in on a Saturday when we were out at the farmer's market, having a casual conversation, and by the following Thursday night I had a copy of Crisis of Conscience in my hot little soon-to-be-apostate hands. LMAO!

  You know what? Do it. If she says yes, you'll never trust her, I suppose that will be payback enough, hehe.

  Ah, so you're hoping to "save" her from some sort of imagined situation where she is engaged to a guy she doesn't love. Right. That's not delusional.

  Would you want a woman who would be so disloyal as to dump her fiance and go be with you, the minute you tell her how you feel?

  Okay, here is my opinion. This is the internet. What is more, this is a discussion board, for exiting and ex jws who may have some genuine need to maintain privacy and anonymity. This recent climate of demanding that people PROVE their identity and reveal themselves is rotten, potentially damaging and just plain bad netiquette. Not to mention similar to the witchhunts seen in the WT where everyone is ready to turn everyone else in.

  Frequent Flier: I demand proof of your identity. Please tell me who you have met, who can vouch for your identity an your location. You need to show proof from your pre-DB life that you really are who you say you are. A copy of your driver's license and references from your current employer will be sufficient. Otherwise, I am forced to think you are a troll, only here to lie and deceive us, and your recent attacks on Cognac are purely obfuscation so that nobody will question YOUR story. Which I'm certain is full of lies, since you haven't provided any REAL proof...
