I wish i could find them and hear their justifcation for doing that to you.
It is hard to pass a judgment without confronting them and hearing their justification for that decision.
You have a very compelling case against them by what i have heard so far.
Yeah it p*sses me off to see JWs rolling their eyes at other Christians!
They won't even say "suchabody is a Christian",.....because they think that anyone not JW is not really Christian!
They who talk about Jehovah 24 hours a day and mention Jesus as an afterthought!

PS - Spiritboi - if you type your post first in word it will lose its paragraphs when you post here. Try using your "notepad" feature instead.
I apologise for the times in my life I probably did that.
Salivating Dog : You have a very compelling case against them by what i have heard so far. Whether or not I have a case depends on the judge : If he is a JW, I have no case at all. Jehovah's organisation must be the foremost consideration of all their actions. I have jeopardised Jah's people by speaking up for drug addicts and deliquents who have no place in the eyes of their god of love. Verdict : spiritboi guilty! To be killed at armaggedon! SO BE IT! I rather live for only a few more years but with a good conscience than to live in a paradise forever with a guilty one! I am happy with my actions : 1) Non JWs were grateful to me for speaking up 2) The guy who takes a delight in assaulting detainees were later transferred out. No news of what happened to him after that. 3) Non JWs detainees saw the hypocrisy of JWs. They know the bros blamed me for speaking up.
Sirona, You see? Still cannot! Type using notepad, copy n paste, still no spacing....
What if you type straight into the box when you reply?
If you hit Enter your spacing appears. At the bottom of the box you should have "design" clicked, not HTML. I also have the "check here to use HTML formatting" checked.

You told the truth.
You have nothing to feel guilty about.
You won the respect of the other inmates by speaking up bravely.
I don't believe in anything the JW's teach anymore because of the all the lies, so to me armegeddon is the same as hell fire - A LIE.
Just a fear tactic to keep the masses under their control.
I don't believe Armegeddon is coming...nor do I believe in a paradise anymore. I don't even want it!
I want this life, and am going to live every second the way I want to - being happy.
I wish you all the best in your journey...it seems that you have some amazing gifts.
Sorry, 4mylove, I did not mean to go offtopic.
I too hated how my mother was so in contempt of other christians. The derision in her voice was like nails down a chalkboard!
They are going to starve of oxygen for having their noses so up high in the air!
Nothing like looking at nostril hairs when you're talking with a JW!
Yeah, tell me all about it. I'm the regular Christian and Sunday School teacher. I'm married to the Witness wannabe who waited SIX YEARS to be approved for field service.
The snorts, the rolled eyes, "you are not a real Christian", "you don't believe in Paradise, you think you are going to heaven (snort)", yadda yadda. You know what bugs him most? Our freedom. Young people can come to church in jeans. Ties are not required. Hair lengths, whatever. Guitars on stage. Play time for children. Evangelism is not tracked or mandated, but optional. Grandmas can bake cookies and pray, if that's what their calling is.
My drug-addicted son can go to church and be welcomed, hugged, prayed for, and accepted. At least for a few hours a week.
All that ranting about our final destination is smoke-screen. It's not what motivates me, and he never heard it from me. I think it's an indication that he's terrified I might be right. It also shows what his motivation (carrot) is. Me, my joy comes from partnering with Christ daily, becoming better and kinder. I am who God would have me to be, and that is the richness I carry every day. You could say that heaven has come down to earth for me.
Why pay any attention to me and what I am doing if he is sure he's right? There's a strong thread of jealousy in his protests.
You know how I get his goat and grudging admiration? I bring home my colorful Sunday School materials. They are bright, relevant, and with big spaces for open-ended questions. Just lately I showed him the latest evangelism bible. Even though he snorted that it's "inferior" to the Watchtower materials, he dearly wants to own one. I told him he can't have it, it's intended for someone coming to Christ.

I recently told a friend of mine that she could not be a Christian. (She is a born in JW) She got a little mad at me for saying that. Then she asked me why I would
say something like that since she does everything the WTS asks of her. I simply asked her how she could call herself a Christian and yet NOT WANT to be with Christ?
JW's mind the flesh-- it is what they accept because it is what they want. Christians mind the spirit.
Not saying I buy it all anymore, but Jesus promised life in heaven not life on Earth.
