Because I have the true nature of Christ within me, I will ignore your threat to strike me. But beware, your shorts are falling.

PMJ......86WT...

10 When a fellow human tells us, ‘Do not read this’ or, ‘Do not listen to that,’ we may be tempted to ignore his advice. But remember, in this case Jehovah is the One who tells us in his Word what to do. And what does he say about apostates? "Avoid them" (Romans 16:17, 18); "quit mixing in company with" them (1 Corinthians 5:11); and "never receive [them] into your homes or say a greeting to [them]" (2 John 9, 10). These are emphatic words, clear directions. If, out of curiosity, we were to read the literature of a known apostate, would that not be the same as inviting this enemy of true worship right into our home to sit down with us and relate his apostate ideas?
11 Let us illustrate matters in this way: Suppose your teenage son received some pornographic material in the mail. What would you do? If he was inclined to read it out of curiosity, would you say: ‘Yes, son, go ahead and read it. It won’t hurt you. From infancy we’ve taught you that immorality is bad. Besides, you need to know what’s going on in the world in order to see that it’s truly bad’? Would you reason that way? Absolutely not! Rather, you would surely point out the dangers of reading pornographic literature and would require that it be destroyed. Why? Because no matter how strong a person may be in the truth, if he feeds his mind on the perverted ideas found in such literature, his mind and heart will be affected. A lingering wrong desire planted in the recesses of the heart can eventually create a perverted sexual appetite. The result? James says that when wrong desire becomes fertile, it gives birth to sin, and sin leads to death. (James 1:15) So why start the chain reaction?
12 Well, if we would act so decisively to protect our children from exposure to pornography, should we not expect that our loving heavenly Father would similarly warn us and protect us from spiritual fornication, including apostasy? He says, Keep away from it!

SCULLY does sticking to the topic just aply to me?because many others have gone of this topic but the only one you said it to was me

PMJ: You went off topic with the first reply you made to the thread, and provoked other posters to deal with your off-topic remark (ie, feeding the troll).

Enough already.

too many Witnesses who are falling into the "escalating commitment" trap.

Languishing in limbo The Watchtower sucked me dry,by the time i was 32 years old my youth, +$50k year job everything was bleed dry

That's it! our new catchphrase escalating commitment

DannyHaszard

The increase in the abuse of alcohol among JWs is indicative that they are trying to escape. Alcoholism is a slow form of suicide. JWs are also told that leaving the WTS is suicide.
Based on these 2 issues, JWs are already committing "suicide" in increasing numbers.

Another astute from blondie the catchphrase for that destructive dynamic is called passive suicide

Danny,

Those photos are pretty powerful my friend. A much-needed reminder of the power of brainwashing, to any lengths.

For me, instead of imaging them to all be jws, I see them as the jws profess, preach and claim the world will suffer at the hands of their WT god, jehovah.

Terrorism, at its finest. THAT'S the Nature Of A Cult.
