That was more than just "getting the sense" it was a quote from Ezekial.
Oh yeah, I remember, I'm shaking in my boots just thinking about it. NOT.
remember getting the sense that when armageddon final comes everyone will "have to know" that it was jehovah?.
the big "told you so".
probably on christmas to boot.... .

seriously, endured a torturous conversation with an active jdub yesterday.
and he was frothing at the mouth about how "muslims are doing the right thing with .
executing the....." he then went on to list everyone from drugdealers to thieves to fornicators.. he said "countries where this sort of thing is happening have got it right!
You make some good points cogdiss, many JWs have zero problem with the executions and genocides
of the OT, in their mind the Godless and the unfaithful deserve their fate. Whether it be death by the sword
or being struck with leprosy. Slippery slope indeed.

Exactly!
I was speechless.
I was without speech.
Goes to show, you never know what extreme views are bubbling beneath the surface.

He said "countries where this sort of thing is happening have got it right!" and
"we can count on Jehovah to execute those ones, so we don't have to"
I was so stunned at how passionate this seemingly mild-mannered, level-headed person was
so candidly saying the most outrageous things and at the end of his rant just says
"ok then sparrow, nice to see you, bye"
WTF!!!!????
why does wt artwork always have one person that is looking at the reader when depicting a group of people?
whether it's the little girl in the sermon on the amount scene or the woman in the armagedon scene.
what is the psychological and/or subliminal effect of this one the reader?
Oh god, I always hated, hated , hated the bloody "artist's impression" and the staged photos.
Idiots would comment on them like they were real.
a baptized girl from my former cong.
was expelled out because she participated in more than one porn videos with classmates in the school and theses videos became public.
she is 14 years old and grew up as witnesses.but anybody knows she had many boyfriends and she-, but that thing was unbelievable!
This girl needs help to find her self respect and self esteem- not shunning.
so this weeks service meeting is so full of "crazy".
a whole 15 min part devoted to trying to indoctrinate everyone on how to "explain our beliefs on 1914".
then another 15 min part called "a tool to help us explain our beliefs about 1914".
Maybe when you have millions of dumb unquestioning followers you just get used to people swallowing your BS.
are jws victims or volunteers?.
voluntary victims perhaps?.
i always assured householders who were concerned that i was being "forced".
Many JWs are "depressed" under those fake smiles, but don't attribute that depression to the stress of living
in the mental straightjacket of WT dogma.
I am amazed how much better I feel now I choose not to be a victim of "brainwashing".
that was a statement from my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother in trying to analyze why i faded and left the jws.
my answer was to say: "if i have to make something real to me, chances are it wasn't real to begin with.
" .
That's because she can't blame the truth or Jehovah, if you left it's because you could'nt cut it.
As JWs we were taught to find fault with the one who left rather than examine the reasons why they left.
Ironically the more "real" you get with the truth the more likely you are to wake up.

Are JWs victims or volunteers?
Voluntary victims perhaps?
I always assured householders who were concerned that I was being "forced"
to go"doorknocking"by the evil WT that everything I did was voluntary.
I was horrified if ever a householder viewed me as some sort of victim.
What is a victim in the context of JWs?
