since a JW cannot separate god from the WT,
when anyone is critical about the corporation - ie false dates, retarded policies, power hungry heirarchy, different scales, etc.
THINGS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD
they are accused and seen to be against God.
Once the curtain is lifted and God is seen as a separate entity, the apostate label is slapped on.
Look what happened to Barb Anderson & husband - perfect example.
NOW I always qualify which thing I am talking about first.

Apostates are sick of WTBTS dogma that even gets people killed . The WTBTS is apostate on many issues and are too stupid to even see it . The WTBTS actually loves the web and is getting all this stuff to write about from the apostates . Friendship with the world is enmity with God and I think the 10 yr. NGO status with the UN makes the WTBTS friends of the world .

I wonder if any of them realize that two negatives makes a positive.
So I will postively tell you that apostates aren't negative.
Also Mary and Blondie, I think the points you stressed were excellent.
If only JWs would use thier own minds to think with instead of what the WTS wants them to think.
It is really a sad state of affairs that Witnesses are brainwashed into believing that we are all wrong. What are we wrong about, its never mentioned in the WatchTowers that I have ever read? Only that we are poison to them. It really staggers the imagination as to how many millions have been blinded as to what is truth.
The God I worship is kind, loving, merciful, forgiving and caring, not the destructive God the Governing Body propagates with their lies and deciet.

The KH makes weak people feel powerful, misfits belong and average people become all-knowing prophets of the future. Most JW's can't give up that drug. I only hope that the rank and file will summon up the guts to admit the social failure of their organization,ie; broken homes , shunned familes, wasted opportunites for education and economic` advancements, needless prohibited blood transfusion deaths, unhappy familes due to all the forced hours at the KH and the preaching work, warped kids who can't make friends, or have a normal childhood of sports and social activities- it goes on and on.
What really gets the JW's is that the so-called apostates are enjoying life , succeeding and haven't ruined their life. I remember reading about how the Russians used propaganda films in the 30's showing gangsters in the US - the average Russian just asked themselves " if the US is so bad How come I see all these cars and stores and consumer goods- things we don't have? It was only after I left that I could see all the 'Kick me" signs on the arses of the rank and file.

When will the Watchtower say something nice about us apostates. Everything they print about us is negative, negative, negative. They are constantly "nashing their teeth" at us.
Jst2laws, who is NOT 'nashing his teeth'

The more we talk about them the more power we give them..
Surely that also applies the other way as well: The more the Watchtower talks about apostates and the internet, the more power they give us.
Besides, as Oscar Wilde said, "There's only one thing worse than being talked about; that's not being talked about." Touche!!
