    Now now, let's not sully Was' thread with f-bombs. Odious indeed.

    Oh, now I get it. You don't like the org to be compared to slavery. You're personlly offended by it. I'm quite comfortable with the comparaison. Why does it irk you Sulla?

    If all the Black folk woke up and got out
    it would put a big dent here in the states
    It's a shame how we allowed ourselves to be enslaved once again

    Tell it, Sister!

    This is how it feel about it:

    Galatians 5
    The Life of Freedom

    1 Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you. The Message Bible

    I'm with tec's rather eloquent explanation.

    As in scripture there are definite parallels between the physical and spiritual.

    The trauma I have experienced by being held spiritually captive, and raped spiritually, and "killed" spiritually, by the WBT$ has been comparable with the trauma and experience of physical captivity, rape and death. Potentially equally destructive, possibly in somewhat different ways.

    I do look forward to the day when spiritual crimes receive the same recognition at law.

    I get it, see it, and agree wasblind. Well written and analysed!

    Its amazig how many terms specific to the WTS have a slavery related background. None of the positions have pleasent backgrounds, its overseers, servants etc all positions which remind one of the evils and cruelties of slavery. There is no thought of freedom or kindess in this language.

    I thank each and every one of you for your input

    Flipp, I thought of you and others like you specifically, the closeness you share with your son

    could also be shared wit your daughters if it was not for the confines of this cult

    Why should any parent be denied the bond of their child, just because

    they no longer believe what the WTS teaches

    Sully, I thank you the most

    I gave you a head start, a chance to defend your position in defense of the WTS

    and you have shown to the world, you could not

    But I would like you to know, Unlike the WTS , I think it's fine to have a difference

    of opinion. But you need to know how to defend it. That's all I'm sayin

    be able to show me , that I am truly mistaken

    Ain't no shame to my game, I can admit If I'm wrong

    If there are any other posters that think like Sully please

    I would love to hear your position, I'm always open to a civil discussion

    i dont believe anyone in there right mind would try to belittle the atrocities pain and anguish caused by slavery but i believe it aptly strikes a nerve in comparison to life of wtnss not taking anything away from literal slaves but the gb for all intent and purposes "own" you! tell how to live what to say what toys kids play with whats permitted in your own bed room your education choices dec on your employment what is and is not counted as serv to god? they do more than kill you in the org you can cease to exist forever this life time and the next! the class system pubs eld pion aux what rubish!you are encourged to not set anything up in this system starting business owning land cant vote sound familiar?enc not to marry?how often have you seen the master in the field with you? im not talking these all expense paid assembly drop in to give a talk no in hot sun fieldserv with flock actually slaving? we are the domestics right?hmmmmm

    Hello there CW

    We often think to ourselves, why haven't the Witnesses woke up

    Then I realized from readin' this book that just like some of the slaves

    they refuse to leave becuase they been taught there's nothin' else

    Even though slavery was outlawed , they went back under the guise

    of a share cropper , Different name, same thing for the newly freed slaves

    Witnesses or even ex-witnesses need to come to terms that different words can mean the same thing like :

    Murder = some one killed

    Homicide = some one killed

    Slavery = forced servitude

    The WTS = forced servitude

    Different name, same thing

    If anyone can understand the life of a slave, it should be a Jehovah's Witness hands down

    for fear of uprising slaves had to talk in codes so masters wouldnt catch on in org you can not talk openly against or qeustion master must talk privatly anonymously online they have articles saying they forbid speaking in private groups about bible! how could that be a bad thing! and there is no just physically escaping up north the mental torture follows even after you leave org many who left still dont celebrate birthdays or paricipate in freedoms granted them this short life weve been blessed with and no thats not like being beat or whiped but that immense control they have is eerily similar but with education and courage believe we will see end of org and freedom of all those mentally captive
