WT Mar 1, '07 - Does it Matter Which Religion You Choose? child abuse, lies

truthseeker

More blatant hyprocisy from the Botchtower.

The main article is Does It Matter WHICH RELIGION YOU CHOOSE?

These psychopaths in the writing department write the following on page 4

Since many religions arose from a desire for political power, prestige, and popular

acceptance rather than a desire to please God, it is no surprise that religion is

involved in such badness as child abuse, fraud, war, or terrorism. All too often,

religion is a sham. How can you avoid being deceived?

How do they have the audacity to write this crap?

This is an insult to all those who have been abused in the org.

They are looking for new members. They need something to write, the end hasn't come yet and the Great Tribulation is Just around the corner. So come one come all down to the Kingdumb hall..

Yes, I read that article. They have a schizophrenic view of religion: on the one hand, it is a snare and a racket, on the other you need to choose one to be saved. YOU JUST HAVE TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE!

I think they are absolutely right: RELIGION IS A SNARE AND A RACKET!

The OTHER guy is always wrong, bad, ungodly, demonized, spiritually ill and misguided.

The JW mindset is: Not Us!

US versus THEM.

That is what it is all about.

Self-examination is made impossible by the steady drumbeat of propaganda.

JW's are like people who go out drinking and wake up with a terrible hangover, but; who can't wait to go out and do it all again. One day they'll look in the mirror and the "morning after" face will be permanent!

Are not these signs of a cult?

These idiots have actually admitted to receiving spiritual guidance from the resurrected slave class. What the heck's the difference in that and spiritism?

I dont really have anything good to say about the witnesses. I would think that if people went through all the trouble to be a witness, all of the meetings and the door to door, that they would be motivated to be good. Good is what God wants or so I thought. So I am surprissed to hear there are any child abusers among the witnesses. But since the topic keeps coming up here and people seem to have had those experiences, I can only think that the number of child abusers among the witnesses would be no more than among most other groups of free non-incarcerated citizens who like to get together and find meaning from the bible. I guess I have to say, if you are a parent you have to be aware of who is around your child and why. And if you were a child who was abused then I think your parents dropped the ball. I never suffered child abuse in a sexual sense but my parents were dropping the ball all of the time. They could never hold on to the ball. I don't think they ever wanted the ball. I am sorry that the kingdom hall didnt turn out to be a little paradise on earth. It seems it is just a microcosim of society. I would think a male childs chasity might be somewhat more protected being a witless than a catholic altar boy. But maybe I'm wrong. But if many Catholic priest are pedophiles, and many baptist, pentocostal, assemblies of God preachers are whore mongers and drugg adicts. Why do you think an occassional child molestation is going to bring down the watertower? I get it everybody is just venting here. And talking about their experinces. Sorry,
