A Sincere Question

    As some of you may easily tell, I enjoy abusing others and rousing debate and anger. However, just for a moment, I'd like to stop that trolling so that I may reach an answer to a question that has been running through my mind ever since I encountered this board over a month ago. I would like to know why the participants on this board waste so much time and energy talking about Jehovah's Witnesses.

    I have studied with the witnesses at one time, and of course, didn't agree with their doctrines. However, they're no different than any other religious group, so what's so special about Jw discussion? Why are you people so involved with Jw discussion and Jw bashing?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure how sincere the question of an admitted troll is, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

    How could you be reading this board for a month and NOT know why we post? JWs are NOT like any other religion. They fabricate doctrine that causes people to DIE needlessly (blood, neutrality)! They endanger little children by covering up for pedophiles so their precious reputation won't be besmirched. They instill such fear into their members that many are psychologically afflicted. And what they teach is easily debunked by looking at their own history and literature.

    Many of us post because we're just leaving, and we come here to heal, or to be sure that we made the right choice, or to try to share what we've just learned with other "weak" JWs. Many are angry, have been and will be for years; we were robbed of our lives for so long that we want to strike back, or maybe help prevent others from making our mistakes.

    Sure, there are other destructive cults out there, but we know this one because we belonged to this one.

    Now a sincere question for you. Why would you "enjoy" abusing others and rousing debate and anger? I can see a nice spirited debate, but abuse and anger? Honestly, how old are you? Do you think you'll always like to do this? I've only seen a couple of your posts, so I'm only going by how you described yourself. On another board I post on someone was making up stories about another poster regarding the terrorist attack. My mind just boggles at why people LIKE to cause such negativity. I'm especially curious about you, since you arent/werent a JW. What made you pick this board to "liven up"?

    Get the Hell Out of Here, Newbie Punk, "FrightMare".

    We've got longtime Trolling Idiots like Fredhall who have way more
    seniority than you, and we need the bandwidth for them to use.

    You're right, Talley,

    trolls don't deserve sincere replies.

    Why not? I could go with some other group but this is one I know from my past. Although I don't bash, I kind of wait and see how long it takes for a JW to bash me while maintaining a respectful attitude.

    Why are you people so involved with Jw discussion and Jw bashing?

    Hmmm,

    Thanks for your post, now I can better understand.

    As for me, I troll on many different boards as well. Work's boring, and well, there's nothing else to do. My wife is a witness, I respect the witnesses, and I think they are great people.

    Although some of the trash talk about witnesses that goes on around here may be true, alot of it is not. For example, all of you insist that they have done nothing for the relief efforts, however, the fact is, they have sent truckloads of equipment for the efforts, and one bethel witness said they had nothing left.

    SINCE you asked, No, the JW's are not like any other religion.

    1) Bethel behavior during the NYC crisis is a dead tip-off wouldn't you say? I haven't heard of any other religious org in NY and surrounding states that has publicly refused to help in the early hours of the crisis. I keep getting email after email of JW experieces, where they keep talking how 'horrible' they felt WATCHING the injured stagger across that bridge. It makes me sick.

    2) No other religion I have ever heard of in the U.S. disfellowships, with enforced shunning, rape /molestation survivors. This policy has been in effect for decades, and still is as recently as 1998.

    3) No other religion I know of in the WORLD sends convicted child molesters to peoples doors, some of whom have not even yet had their criminal cases completed.

    And just as an aside; if this was a JW-only discussion board, you wouldn't even be allowed on here.

    Now aren't you glad you asked!!!!
