Re: Society's video on depression (reply) OMG - Its hard to sit thru alright but even as cynical as I am about the jaydubs, this might be an all time low. Horrendous acting to boot. I hope, at least for the poor ones still stuck in the cult that this has been gathering dust... |

Re: not all jws are bad. (reply) Agreed, as most of us were there at some point the individuals are for the most part decent, yet deluded folks. It is the organization, or specificallly its leadership and the occassional local elder who lets the power go to his head... |

Re: JWs - Hit and run posters (reply) I agree with the fear factor. It really permeates their whole existence. At the door, they open the conversation by inviting Bible "dicusiion" but if any JW really faces someone with real , tough questions, they eventually will stop... |

Re: They must be crazy! (reply) Twisted and Sick. And the saddest part is most JW's are on such autopilot that it will not even strike them as the least bit abnormal. So glad I woke up and got out when I did. |

Re: Has anyone managed to successfully guide family or friends about TTATT? (reply) I agree with what most others have said. A careful sprinkling of "sead" that may someday hopefully grow into real doubt seems to be about the only way. Come on too strong and you risk having the JW dig in deeper and hold on tighter due... |

Re: Is ignorance the JW's best safety net? (reply) Ignorance is the key to staying a JW. Where else could phrases likely "wordly" and "independent thinking" have such a negative conotation ? Like someone already said, I know so much more about the borg since I have been out - and I... |

Re: Which did you hate the most? Meetings, field service, and conventions, oh my! (reply) FS was the worst. Waking up early on the only days I could sleep in. Ridiculous and totaly inefficient process. Bothering strangers on their day off. Trying to keep my bored (and rightly so) kids engaged. I feel so good right now... |
