  Man if I took people to court as much as the WT does do you think I'd have any privileges in the congregation?

  Tax exempt should be taken away from religions. There should be some things that are exempt but not everything!

  Letter to a DF Parent

  thank you for raising me in this religion, this religion that when people get disfellowshipped you have to cut off all communication, even family.

  thank you for making sure all of my friends, work partners, family and 99% of my life was centered around this organization.

  thank you for taking the time to study with me, read the bible, making me excluded from all school activities and friends so that my whole social life was surrounded by jw.

  I want to thank you. Thank you for raising me in this religion, this religion that when people get disfellowshipped you have to cut off all communication, even family. Thank you for making sure all of my friends, work partners, family and 99% of my life was centered around this organization.

  Thank you for taking the time to study with me, read the bible, making me excluded from all school activities and friends so that my whole social life was surrounded by JW.

  Last of all I want to thank you for getting disfellowshipped. Thank you for putting me in that situation and then trying to communicate with me, expecting for everything to be normal after you raised me in this god forsaken religion. You centered my whole life around this! You made me 100% involved with no outside contact and expect me to just throw it all away because you decided to get DF. You don’t even have the courtesy to at least get reinstated so that I can easily talk to you! You expect everything and every way that you raised me just to go out the window after I have made my whole life around this religion! You don’t understand, I can’t just walk away! I now have a JW wife, responsibilities, friends and family all with expectations!

  You don’t understand that you put me in this situation and now YOU expect me to give it all up and have nothing just so I can talk to you! Thank you for raising me up this way, centering my whole life around this religion I don’t even believe in so you can just walk out and leave me holding the bag!

  Do you realize the situation you put me in?

  Thank you.

  please ask yourself and think about is deeply..... if there is a god and he made this incredible universe.......what is more likely?.

  a) that he needs your dollar bills to achieve his plans for the universe.

  I see what you're saying Desirous but he stated that he just wanted out and to not deal with them or try to get around anything. That's why I just suggested being who you are, stating what you believe and let them do what they want.

  They are still lying, even though they revised the FAQ.

  do jehovahs witnesses feel that they are the only people who will be saved?.

  many millions who lived in centuries past and who werent jehovahs witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation.

  the bible explains that in gods promised new world, there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

  Yea I love seeing their FAQ completely ignore the question and try to get around it as much as possible. Almost all of their questions are true and yet they try to redefine wording.

  It's funny too because all their FAQ is what people think of them. They're the only ones that don't feel that way.

  Bible says money is the root of all evil and yet JW can't work with out it.

  If the bible is real it is for small christian groups that do their best to live by it's standards how fits their conscience. None of this multimillionaire organization printing it's own materials telling you what is wrong and right.

  If judgment day comes Jw and groups like them will be saying "look at the powerful works we preformed in your name" while the small humble christian groups are saved and people just trying to be good all around.

  Let it begin....

  about time..... "teachers, councillors and social workers in england and wales who fail to protect children could face up to five years in jail under new proposals.. the new measures, being unveiled by the prime minister, would see the crime of "wilful neglect" extended to cover children's social care and education.. there would also be unlimited fines for individuals and organisations shown to have let children down.".

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31691061.

  when they so cleverly predicted to us all that the world would turn against them, something that has not happened despite over a 100 years of taunting power and opposing religious figures, now it is likely to begin, they failed to mention that it would be due to rampant paedophilia in 'gods earthly organisation'.what a wholesome enviroment to grow up in and raise a child.. we have heard it said many times here that the jw's won't last as they are so entrenched in trends, so opposite to modern human progress, culture and society, they stand out as more extremist and inhumane by the year, mocked regularly in the media now.

  Who would have though, big A would be caused by JW touching kids!

  For some reason when/if Jesus comes, I don't think he'll be fighting for JW. It's funny hearing all the JW say they're persecuted because of pedophilia. What happened to all those years of mocking the Catholics about how they weren't the true religion? Now that it's happening to them it proves they're the true religion?

  These people are whacked!

  See the funny thing about humans is when they look to the past they tend to remember the good and forget the bad and when they look to the future they think doom and gloom. I try to see the good in both.

  There will always be world problems. & honestly if god exists and if he has a judgment day, it's not going to be in the JW favor so you're screwed either way.

  Do what you know best and believe what you know to be best. If god has an issue you can ask where he was the whole time, make your peace and be happy about yourself as it ends =].

  Here's my thought:

  I wouldn't DA yourself but whenever someone calls, see's you or the elders contact you, just tell them point blank it's all BS, and tell them why.

  If they try to invite you to a judicial meeting, ignore them more. Don't play by their rules or give them the upper hand. Be yourself and show you could care less and that they have zero authority over you!

  We are going to be seeing more of this. They have a religion they like to show the public and a religion for those on the inside. Common, they have two editions of the Watchtower!!!

  Here's how you spin it in your favor though. Use JW.org and the public editions to your benifit. Use it whenever possible to get out of a situation or to stick to the elders. You'll see their heads spin as they don't know what to do.

  They tried telling me not to be around someone who left "the truth" but was never DF so I showed them this on JW.org, "perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned. In fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest." You should have seen their faces! haha
