PropLog2: All it took for you to give up and leave was you posting bullshit excuses for the WT and then getting your ass kicked to the curb? Gee, you could have saved yourself the trouble. You were warned that you'd find no sympathy here. Your motto seems to be: "My religion, right or wrong, but my religion." How narrowminded can you be?? I've read every single book the WT printed since 1925. I have Studies in the Scriptures and read that. But we'll leave Russell's and Rutherford's psychopathic behavior for another thread.
The attacks didn't have to be personal. YOU made them personal when you belittled our pain, didn't believe our stories about being abused, and then attacked us by saying it was OUR fault. Typical WT brainwashing. Any freshman Psych student can read you plain as day. You are right, discussions won't be productive when you have already made up your mind that the WT is right and God will fix things in his own due time. But in the OT, many prophets scolded kings and pointed out corruption without a direct order from Jehovah. So "new light" (which is a bunch of crap anyway) doesn't always come from the top down. It can be a sister's idea or even a worldly person showing the WT how it can be more efficient.
I said I had a temper when children were being hurt. I would become angry and I'd rush up and take out the attacker. If you would not do even that, then you are the sick one. If I really had a mental problem with my temper, then how do you explain the analytical posts I have put here? And don't forget: Jehovah and Jesus got angry many times when seeing depravity involving children. So why can't I? I had many elders tell me they would have killed the abuser no matter what happened to them for doing so. Many "sisters" and women I worked with offered to load my gun. If I had a temper, at least 2 dozen people would be dead today. Maybe even your type. I think I've done a very good job at containing my anger considering the treachery, lies, brutality, and hypocrisy I've seen and endured and was told if I opened my mouth, I wouldn't see my daughter again. I told the committee if they taught her to avoid me for the rest of my life, they would pay for it with their lives. That is GOD'S promise, not any threat of mine. Predicting or reminding wicked JW's about what will happen to them according to the Bible is not the same as me saying I'm driving from Florida to NJ and will kill 8 men. Maybe if you wife, child, or mother were raped and you were told that you'd be DF'd if you went to the police, you might grow up and see the horrific injustice in this cult. You should watch the Silent Lambs videos where elders act so snotty when interviewed on camera that even the crew wanted to smack him in the face.
Your implication is that you are a civilized human being, and I must not be one because I become righteously indignant or angry when I see the helpless beint abused. You are NOT civilized if you defend the WT. I will go on record now as saying that any one who knows the full story of the WT's molestation and coverup actions and does NOT leave that cult, is a disgusting human being and morally they bear much of the blame. This makes THEM a goat, not the helpless children.
NO one tried to impress you with chest beating. If I was going to come after you, I certainly wouldn't warn you first. (Try Sicilian thinking.) But if you are over 6j0, you can't be that tough. If you ever share any part of the blame for the abuse problem, or perhaps some father whose child was raped meets up with you, you might get your just desserts. Maybe a "beating" might occur. And don't preach to me about violence. Isn't Armageddon all about violence?? Six billion people killed because they truly didn't understand what the hell the JW at their door was talking about. You call that loving? How much violence would occur to kill six billion people??
You think that be isolating a few of my momentary lapses that you can peg me as the nut, and then show yourself as the "great teacher whose students refused to listen." You have NOTHING to teach anyone on this board. We've seen and heard it all. Try going to Silent Lambs and spew your manure. They will rip you apart. And you would deserve it.
Child abuse is the worst crime in the world. It scars an innocent life forever. Some victims commit suicide because they think it was their fault. Some parents commit suicide because they blame themselves. The WT is a bunch of wussies hiding behind the laws of each state. When the WT wants its rights, they sue you to death. but when they are wrong, they lie in court, drag out cases, or pay off victims quietly since they know they are wrong.
And what the hell do you mean "acquiescence" by those on the board??? Are you a lunatic??? The ones doing the acquiescence are the JW rank and file for not speaking to those who tried to warn them to save their kids. The GB also is guilty because they bury their heads and refuse to listen to reason. (No, they don't bury them in the sand.)
"Loud silence"? You got trounced every time you opened your stupid mouth with more bullshit. Why don't you visit Patterson and stand in the field with the jackasses and preach to them. I'm sure the farmers could use the manure you produce. The cows would probably die from cognitive dissonance. (Please feel free to look up any words that are two syllables or longer. We want you to understand these points.) Oh, and if you want to reply, maybe you shouldn't use the Internet anymore. Take a box of crayons and write your note and send it to the WT. Tell them how "mean" everyone's been to you.
I wonder how you'd react if your wife or daughter were raped? I doubt it very much that you'd calmly call the police and say "We'll leave it in Jehovah's hands." How do you know that the current anti-WT crusade is not Jehovah's way to clean house?
I'm not going to celebrate. I gave it to you good because you asked for it. I would have been your friend if you had asked nicely and looked up the evidence. The people on this board are some of the most intelligent and emotionally mature people I know. A soul here in pain who zaps you a few times is to be expected when they've had to listen you your kind before and also to know that the conventions are trashing all people who don't "toe the line". This isn't the Marines, buddy. This was not the way Jesus taught. I think you're annoyed because you lost, you didn't expect so many people to beat you, and you didn't realize the evidence we had that allowed us to beat you. That's jealousy and pride. Not our problem, but YOURS!!!!
I don't know who would want your posts unless we needed a few JW sheep comments to show the world how brainwashed you all are. Again, if you had been nice, you might have been helped in a more kindly way. But when you attack our reasons for leaving and you defend the WT, you get no sympathy.
You said the brothers should be given the benefit of the doubt. Not when I have 2 witnesses. I'd be DF'd with 2 witnesses, so why aren't the elders removed if I have 2 witnesses? The old double standard. The WT lies again.
I'll finish with this. I can become angry when necessary. God and Jesus it. I told the elders and I gave fair public warning. My daughter has a 25% chance of dying before she turns 25 years old (in a few years) whether suicide (which many victims do) or heart damage from anorexia (it killed Karen Carpenter). If something happens to that child, there will be blood. You can get on your moral high horse and point and say "See, he's crazy, he's a murderer." Perhaps you should read the old testament where whole tribes were killed for the sins of one person. And Armageddon is no picnic, yet the JW's are just drooling for it to start so that 999 people out of 1,000 will die and the JW's will get their revenge for having had doors slammed in their faces for 130 years. Doesn't sound very Christian to me. And don't say I don't sound Christian, because I'm NOT. I'm an agnostic and will never change.
Good luck to you proplog2. You want to stir up a hornet's nest? Go to Iran and preach your nonsense. Your troubles will all be over and you will be at peace. (Dead.)
