Integ-I would suggest checking out these threads.
By the way avashi, you're one to talk about displaced anger. Nobody from the Witnesses has "hurt" me. And if anyone needs anger management it's YOU. I think you should go to the nearest Kingdom Hall and scream at people that had nothing to do with your abuse..It would probably make you feel a lot better.
NO it certainly does not. People come to this board as a haven to express sometimes years of pain and frustration. They come hear to tell their stories and to hear stories of others, so they know beyond a shadow of doubt that they are not alone. They welcome people of all different walks of life, unlike the JW websites. I believe there are two main reasons for this. First-people here can defend themselves. Secondly-They have the real truth to back them up. I have noticed a great increase in "trolls" lately. Isn't it nice that you can come here and express your beliefs knowing that they can not go to JW sites and express theirs?
By the way Jeffery Dahmer was a Catholic...Does that make All Catholics cannabalistic Homo Sexuals?
No-of course we can not draw the above conclusion. However if a group of men knew what Dahmer was doing, and informed his victims that they could not go to the police and allowed Dahmer full access to young boys, what would that make the group of men? Nobody here believes that all JW's are pedophiles. What they believe is that victims of abuse deserve justice, and others deserve to be protected from these predators. What they believe is that men og God should not use God as an excuse to cover up things that are anything but Godly. Some here are christians, some are not. The point is that you do not know everyone on this site. You do not know what these people have seen or what they have gone through. The bottom line is and this goes for all trolls, You are on their turf. If you want to hear that the WTS is Jehovah's channel, and that everything they do is perfect, except when they make mistakes(which is often) then go to one of their sites. If you want to hear the truth, if you want to hear peoples personal stories, if you want to learn what made these people turn away then stay here. Personally, I have yet to read one troll post that seemed christian to me. Most, if not all of them curse, name call, belittle anyone who disagrees with them, and generally do not seem to have any original thoughts.In addition to these things usually they lie about their statise in the org, and intentionally attempt to decieve people about their intentions. These are very unchristian behaviors in my mind. They never really want to know the truth, they just want to vomit up last weeks WT, and tell everyone that they are going to die at the big A. None of them can ever stand up in a debate on doctrine, the UN scandel, or give evidence that the GB hasn't been covering up abuse. Until they can, I think you will understand why most people here are content right where they are at.
I hope no-one minds me speaking up, and sort of speaking for other people. The hypocrisy of the troll posters has really gotten under my skin lately. I mean their own organization tells them that they aren't even supposed to be here. Yet here they are showing their true colors, and if anything just reminding people of why they left in the first place.
