I just read a remark that joining the JW's was no different than any other church. People join because thay find the people are nice and sociable. And I'm sure they are. I'm also sure that their intent is to be honest and forthright. But here is where the dark side enters in.
when someone swallows a belief or doctrine hook, line and sinker, they did because someone who taught them did the same thing.When you get back to the original guy who started the deception you begin to realize how such a disease of fraudulent and misinformation can ultimately be lost in the muck of time and denials. The wolves,it could be said to some degree, are innocent purveyers of the same lies if it weren't for the fact that they have allowed their fear of retribution from the local or governing body intiminate them into being a coward. And a coward is NOT to be excused. They can be forgiven but Not excused.
It is my contention that all of the ex JW's who were sold and then in turn resold the same lies and deciept. first need to ask the forgiveness of those they hurt and then we'll discuss those who hurt them. I have read the bleeding heart stories of woe is me but there is not much remorse for their own falacious actions.
It's exactly like the World War Two German people who were part of the atrocities and the cover up who claim innocent by way of "what could we do"?.......No apology was ever given for their cowardise.
The lives that have been ruined.....yes and possibly your own too ..needs justice to begin with...the mercy can come later. These boards and chat rooms are fine for licking your own wounds but how about the lacerations many of you inflicted on other peoples lives before you had the gumption to act or were forced to act as was mostly the case, I'm sure.
I have listened for twenty years to the deciept and lies of an employer and I thought a freind, but have come to realize not only his own brain washed personality cme into being because of his indoctrination as a child...( now 43 years old) but he was aware of the lies he was fostering thinking that his deceipt was and still is for the good of the "ORGANIZATION".[ The State, The Party, The FUERER!!! ZIG HEIL} If he ever does wake up I wonder how or if he will apologize.
Personally, I don't think it's going to matter. This latest pedophilia scandal now also hitting the JW's is finally going to bring this vile organization down. They won't be able to slither out of this one. As all false religion, and this has been one of the most detestble of the last two centuries and think they are going for a third, [makes me want to vomit], will be sucked up by the very system they have used { THE USA}, and not just used but vilified as some great evil. This government or any government is not the governing system GOD ultimately wants for his children, but governments through out the ages have been tolerated by Him because man has always rejected the true government of GOD. He allows us to make mistakes but by doing so he is also leading us and guiding us to a final understanding and repentace.....why? because we are not here because of retribution or to be part of some plan that justifies GOD"S rulership {how any thinking person can listen and believe this horse.....is beyond me} but because HE LOVES us...all of us without exception.
Anyone who doesn't FIRST understand this won't ever understand HIM!!!
If any persons on this board have ever been sexually assualted, molested or abused in any way by the members and officials of this GREAT ABOMINABLE CHURCH if you don't use all resourses available to bring to justice this church and its perpetraters, you will ultimately have to account for it.
If you are not constantly in the face of this LAVIATHON of EVIL than you have not broken away because your cowardice is still in control!
