  Example of hate coming from the JW organization .....

  1. they profusely hate other religious organizations and demean them at will

  2. they hate higher education and make up lies to dissuade members in doing so.

  3. they hate woman and place them as demeaning second class people and make them subservient to men

  4. they hate children and hinder their intellectual growth or outside secular personal interests

  5. they hate outside public governments or publicly devised organizations like the UN, which were created to

  help humanity, then they secretly join these organization to better their organization in countries where

  they are having problems in establishing themselves.

  6. they hate individual family units and break apart many families by dividing believers from non-believers

  resulting in some people to even commit suicide.

  They have every right to their doctrine, treatment of outsiders, and language. We are not polite to each other here, let alone to the Witnesses. I don't like hate speech legislation. We go overboard. Newcomers may very well be repulsed by our language and expressions of hatred. I am very guilty of it. Well, perhaps guilty is the wrong term. I have strong feelings that require strong language. My home community is diverse. I am used to people of many religions discussing their beliefs with each other.

  The Witnesses qualify as a religious group. Martin Luther used strong language. Warring popes used strong language. Violence was common place. I wish the hurt was not so bad after so many decades. Before I started coming here, they did not bother me so much. It was my past, a long time past. I seek out churches known for their ecumenical spirit. Sometimes I will tease a priest during coffee hour or lunch by quoting portions of Revelation concerning Babylon the Great. I get some muffled laughter but never a derogatory word concerning the Witnesses. I would lose respect if I heard derogatory words.

  Heavens g,...It must be remembered concerning JW organisation, the comments on this site are REACTIONARY because the WBTS has by its own confused, contradictory, unintelligent and provably wrong ethos opened itself up to strong contra comments.

  Otherwise no one would give a monkeys .....!!!

  Outlaw,

  I think that guy aka heavensgate11 has no business being here......Scott77

  I disagree Scott77..

  Even though Heavens Gate11 doesn`t think anyone else is entitled to their opinion,except himself..

  Heavens Gate11 is entitled to his opinion..LOL!!..

  .

  I won’t make my list longer as it is pointless. However OUTLAW what was that about deception by omission you use.

  Why not help your friend here.The story started good, but ended one sided.......Heavens Gate11

  Apostate Chick was truthful..Which is something you have a hard time with..

  I have to be careful with words here. Only JWN Ex Witnesses are allowed to use profanity, anyone else not being part of this community

  gets deleted by biased administrators that get emailed about such violations of their own policy’s and ignore them for the good of their community......Heavens Gate11

  I saw Your Post that Got Deleted..

  It was an Unfounded and Pointless Attack on JWN Administration exactly like the one above..

  .

  .........Your a Slow Learner..

  I'd say yes they are a hate group, it may be subtle but hate in these various areas:

  Hate the world and things in the world

  Hate those that hate Jehovah/imaginary friend, thier Corporation's sock puppet

  Hate whom ever Jehovah(the corporate sock puppet) hates

  Hate an invisble arch enemy of an invisible Deity's called Satan

  Hate independant thinking

  Hate your own children if they deviate from Corporation policies

  Hate getting a higher education

  Throw children's toy in the garbage can because Jehovah hates magic and kills people that practice it

  And the list can get pretty big.

  One other thing that should be added to the list is chartable donations and work that are not connected

  to the Watchtower Corporation.

  This organization was built on hate and fear strategically instructed by the WTS. who created their own

  subservient sales representatives.

  “heavensgate11”: “How about the hate speeches given here at the JWN community . . . Only JWN Ex Witnesses are allowed to use profanity, . . .”

  Think of it this way: If (theoretically) I were to scream and/or swear in someone’s face, that would generally be considered abusive and provocative behavior. Right? Right. Now, let’s say that the other person has just deliberately stomped as hard as he/she could on my toes. Let’s say I then screamed in the person’s face, maybe even using profanity. (I might scream something like, “What the f[iddlestick] did you do that for!?”) Now, in this case also, I’m screaming or even swearing in someone’s face. Can you spot the difference?

  In this second hypothetical scenario, I am also acting in a way which would generally be considered abusive and provocative, but, this time the person has just stomped as hard as he/she could on my toes – so, in this particular instance, I am merely reacting in a natural and understandable, and to some extent even involuntary, way.

  So, can you see the connection here? There are a variety of folks on this Web site, many of whom having had a wide range of experiences with the Watchtower religion, many of which being negative and hurtful. Now, when people are hurt, they naturally, and also have the right to, react by venting their emotional pain, indignation, and frustration. And, being in the free and democratic society in which we live, we can and should expect that such ones, having been ignominiously victimized, can and will express their pain and frustration. Moreover, this forum and others like it are thus appropriate and practical avenues for this expression. And to that end, being able to express one’s pain as such is cathartic, therapeutic, and efficacious, as it relieves the pain of the individual through the sharing of it among others of similar experience.

  So, what may seem to you, “heavensgate11,” as being “hate speeches” on here is actually what simply amounts so people saying “Ouch!” when their toes have been painfully stomped on. Such ones need and deserve understanding. After all, it really does hurt!

  I was trying to think of Heavensgate11 in term of where he has been, is and will be as far as commenting on JWN is concerned. Is Heavensgate11 an active JWs? Assuming that is the case, would Heavensgate11 be permitted to comment here on JWN? Do the Wachtower encourages the likes of Heavensgate11 to express their opinion on apostate discussion boards like JWN?
