It's easy to pick on the JW's but any country with institutionalized religion where some sky fairy runs the law of the land will eventually end up just like the Taliban. I'm sure when they started they thought it would be great to have a country run by the words of Mohammed but all those "good intentions" went to shit. Get a country run by christians and the results will be the same. All that said, I consider each Kingdom Hall a small JW country. Look at all the jelousy and backstabbing that happens just in a single KH.
JW's Should Start Their Own Country!

You know, anyone who is as judgemental as you are about religion has got be pshycotic.You obviously
don't know anything about JW's or else you would know that they don't hate sports. It's just too
time-consuming, and it involves having to associate with people who have no moral standards.
JW's try to keep away from people who could corrupt them. If what you want is to live now and have
sex and do drugs, and smoke, and drink then by all means DO IT. But you can't expect that God will
see you as good person. God only wants everyone to follow in Jesus' footsteps... so ask yourself
these questions....did Jesus smoke? Did he have sex? Did he drink excesively? Did he judge people
right off the bat, the way that you're doing now? Did he cuss? Did he live with a woman without
being married to her? Did he laugh and make fun of people just to be cool? Did he hate people? If
you can't answer those questions, then you really don't know anything about God and his son Jesus
Christ. You really should seek counseling cause it seems to me that you spend your time judgin
and hating people who actually know a thing or two about life and love. That's not healthy! Why
don't you just focus on your own life and stop saying stupid things about people you don't even
"know"?! It's not right. Where do think life is ever gonna get you if all you do hate people and
judge them? I'll let your mind ponder that subject. When you get your answer then let me know if
the things you said were down-right rude or "in the right mind".

Bella, why are YOU on this site?

Well Bella, considering a significant part of Jesus life is completely missing from the Bible, ages 12-30, it is likely that Jesus did have sex, drink, and probably enjoyed some of the nice mushrooms of the time. There is not a single person on this planet that can talk about Jesus life with any certainty because so much of it is missing. In fact there is not enough evidence to even prove that the Jesus of the Bible even existed.

WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO! Finally, some decent flamebait for a change!
Oh, I get it, people who don't believe in invisible beings in the sky are psychotic! So THAT'S what I've been missing all along! Thanks!You know, anyone who is as judgemental as you are about religion has got be pshycotic.
Yes, of course, it prevents them from being able to sell books for the Faithful and Indiscreet slave in Brooklyn! (DOH)You obviously don't know anything about JW's or else you would know that they don't hate sports. It's just too time-consuming,
It's so easy to forget that all non-Witness people are completely lacking in all forms of morals! Damn!and it involves having to associate with people who have no moral standards.
Yeah, it's really bad, they might get exposed to all that "thinking for yourself" stuff! EGADS!JW's try to keep away from people who could corrupt them.
Don't tempt me, I just mightIf what you want is to live now and have sex and do drugs, and smoke, and drink then by all means DO IT.
Erm. Ghod, apparently, made sex. So why is it so bad? OH, I FORGET! You're only supposed to have sex if you have a metal ring around your finger that is of obviously pagan origin! MARVELLOUS!But you can't expect that God will see you as good person.
There are theories that he shroomed. Does that count? There were no cigarettes in those days (technically, but people still smoked weird stuff). Who knows?God only wants everyone to follow in Jesus' footsteps... so ask yourself these questions....did Jesus smoke?
Did he have sex?
The Bible DOESN'T SAY!!!!!!! What are the chances?
Did he drink excesively?
See above.
Did he judge people right off the bat, the way that you're doing now?
He's not judging people, he's judging a religion. There's a difference, you know!
Did he cuss?
"DAMN THESE THORNS! OW! DAGNABBIT ALL TO HECK! Peter, I need new sandals!"
You'll never know. He might have, now that I think about it. The Bible keeps going on about some Mary chick that he apparently stayed with for a lot of his life.Did he live with a woman without being married to her?
Did he laugh and make fun of people just to be cool? Did he hate people?
He didn't like them Pharisees much. LOL.
If you can't answer those questions, then you really don't know anything about God and his son Jesus Christ.
You & me, we need to have a "quiet word".
AHAHAHAHAHA!You really should seek counseling cause it seems to me that you spend your time judgin and hating people who actually know a thing or two about life and love.
That's not healthy!
Don't tell us about HEALTHY! We don't judge people for the length of their skirts and how many doors are on their car or how many hours of FS they do!
See above, not focusing on people, but focusing on religion.Why don't you just focus on your own life and stop saying stupid things about people you don't even "know"?!
It's not right. Where do think life is ever gonna get you if all you do hate people and judge them?
If you read carefully over these posts, you will understand that the people are not hated at all - we hate the religion that has victimized them and infected their minds with a very subtle mind-meme.
There is no way you'll ever respond to any posts here, so the foregone conclusion is that I've been wasting my time here.I'll let your mind ponder that subject. When you get your answer then let me know if the things you said were down-right rude or "in the right mind".
*sigh*
OMG, that was fun. *whew*!!!!!

Well, I am on this sight because I was looking for something personal but then I saw all the things that are being said about JW's and I had to stick up for them. I don't appreciate it when people judge other people or even a religion just because it doesn't fit into their schedule or lifestyle. You shouldn't have to make time for God, it should already be part of your day and not be a drag. He created everything on this earth, why not just appreciate it and stop nagging about what we don't have? Just appreciate the things and the life that you were blessed with. Because of God, we are alive and breathing. And the only thing he asked of us was that we all get along and live in harmony. He asked that we follow in Jesus' footsteps...why question it? Why not just do it? How would you like it if you raised a dog from infancy to old age and his "young" years was disobedient and rebellious because all the other dogs were? What ifhe didn't want to listen to you and always bit you and barked at you? Would it hurt your feelings? Would it break your heart to know that you provided for this creature and raised him and loved him for years and years, and then it didn't even matter to him? After all that you did for him, and he shows no appreciation. He shows no love and question all that you ask of him. WOULD THAT BREAK YOUR HEART? All I'm saying is that God isn't someone you should question because he is so much more powerful than you can imagine. And to put him to the test and question his authority is like asking him to get rid of you at armagedon. More than anything else you should just be focusing on how good you look in God's eyes right now. But you shouldn't do it just so you can get something in return, that's no what it's all about. You should do it because you love God and you have faith in him and you want what's best for yourself and everyone else in this world. Cause to tell you the truth...I want what's best for everyone in this world. Even if I don't know you, or maybe I do know you and if you hated me with a passion...I still would never wish anything bad upon anyone. I love all human-kind but I admit that it upsets me when people can't seem to understand that God is not just another person who you can hurt and move on with your life. YOUR LIFE IS IN HIS HANDS! Respect him and love him and pray to him everyday. I'm not telling you to do it...I'm asking you and begging you to just give it a chance. What's the worst that can happen if you end up loving God for the right reasons?

"you shouldn't"......Bella, you seem sincere in your convictions. But you sound so much like a programmed Witness. "You should or shouldn't" do this or that.....In reality, now that you stumbled on this site, you shouldn't stay here. You know that "the slave" says it's not right. I have a feeling, though, that you may be either posting again or lurking for some time to come.

Fear is a wonderful motivator, dont ya think.
Getting rid of people? It seems that if God is soooo powerful, that he could come up with a better solution for those who question his supposed activity. But tell that to all the infants and children he has murdered in the Old Testament and they didnt even question god...oh well. om

Why do you "assume" that just because the good people here are not JW's they don't worship or believe in God?
Bella. You're young, aren't you.
