    The problem with jehovah's Witnessesis that they do not do their own research. They visit and read postings in other JW sites and literature, and believe every work they read.

    Tedcob,

    Haven't you got anything better to do than to surf the internet lookin for apostate sites??

    Haven't you got anything better to do than to try to goad us into responding to your silly post???

    Haven't you got anything better to do than to lurk around here reading our messages??

    may be you should go out on field service or something......

    Yours dig

    Think not about trying to add days to your life, but instead think about adding life to your days.

    Frankly, I can't think of very many things that are better to do than to help those people coming out of the Jay-Dubs that are emotionally, spiritually, and financially traumatized as a result of that association.

    What are you doing to help people who have been victimized by that cult you call a religion?

    Tedcobb and Humble,

    Humble? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Thank you both for your fun posts. It helps me remember the time when I didn't have any brain cells working, either.

    In case you weren't aware of this, you didn't offer ONE SINGLE SHRED of any sort of evidence. You just offered your opinions. Well, that may work in dubland, but it doesn't work in here.

    Unless you can back up your opinions with evidence (like most of us can) we will take your opinions, shred them into little pieces, toss them back in your face and then laugh at you.

    We ain't no dummies you meet at the door. Most of us were dubs, and some like myself were dubs for decades. We know all your ruses, and all your games because we played them ourselves.

    We're in the real world now where people actually require facts and logic. You're welcome to stay in your world of non-facts and no logic. That is your choice. But when you step into the real world, you'd better be ready to deal with opponents who know a LOT more about your religion and the Bible than you do.

    Wanna play? I do.

    Alan F,

    The guy is kind of right. I don't do my own research, I depend on you for that. That's way I can be off having a good time with the knowledge that if I do for some lame ass reason need to have some facts to show a JW they are blind as a bat I can always call you and you will tell me what I need to know. Is that complete trust or what?

    I never really thanked you for all the work you have done. Thanks man.

    I'll think of you the next time I go sailing. It's people like you that make people like me look bad. I can live with that.

    tedcobb,
    I've never been a JW, so I don't have a grudge against them for anything. I came here for more information on this truly bizarre religion. Along the way I met some very nice people who were treated very badly. I now consider quite a few as "friends".
    That's the reason I keep coming back. Hope you'll make friends here too.

    So until then, if you don't want to be part of Jehovah's organisation so much, why not get yourselfs a life and do something useful with the time you have left.


    Let me see.... I'm writing a science fiction novel that I hope to have finished by the end of next month and sold by sometime next year. Does that count for anything?

    Dear Tedcobb, You post was reasonable for the most part. You asked a question, but can you comprehend the answer? Do you really want an answer or just an opportunity to speak out in frustration at so called apostates?

    You would be wise to at least understand what our agenda is. Even Brooklyn representatives have met with high ranking apostates in order to get an overall view of what apostates claim is wrong with the WTS. Interesting eh?

    In a nutshell apostates believe that the WTS is a fraud. They feel cheated of their time (sometimes many many years) and of the families they were forced to give up in order to leave. They feel the WTS plays God in dictating that families inside the WTS can not associate with ones who can no longer believe the WTS has the truth.

    So - when the WTS abandons shunning between loved ones - and allows those who can no longer support them to leave without a punishent (Judgement is mine sayeth the Lord), then I'm sure you will have far less so called apostates pointing out the many errors in the WT belief system. Our efforts to expose the WTS are a direct result of their efforts to break up our families.

    Do you really think we should lay down and play dead when you have taken one of our most precious possessions from us. In the majority of cases there is no need of shunning in families. Neither is the barbaric practise of "marking" acceptable.

    Too many rules and too few people with the intestinal fortitude to stand up and say how needless it all is. If you are happy in the WTS that's good for you - but many aren't. Many feel brow beaten and dictated to. Many feel they weren't told the truth about shunning when they entered the Org. Do you tell the truth when you meet someone interested in the Witnesses? Do you tell people that the WTS will completely break up theirfamily if there is a loss of devotion in the future????

    Most apostates do have a life! Without the treadmill of meetings and field service etc - we can raise our families and keep a lovely garden and enjoy a career and in our spare time we have time to alert would be WT recruits of the dangers that lie ahead. Had you been reached by us prior to your indoctrination you would be very grateful to us today. Now that you have lost you objectivity and critical thinking facilties - you are happy in the Org. I hope you don't suffer the loss of a loved one thru disfellowshipping - because if you do you may feel the painful stink of the WT ruling class!

    The problem with apostates is that they do not do their own research.

    This, from a Jehovah's Witness. Oh, the irony.
