  Negative forum behavior

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  another good codinghorror blog entry perfectly describes some people's online behaviour and an approach to handling it.

  i'll post part of it below but to summarize, these tend to be behaviours that don't violate any specific rules as such as the people doing it try to carefully skate just up to the line but they are nevertheless disruptive and we're not going to tolerate them on this site.

  if you are here to do these things then this isn't the site for you - move along, find someplace else on the internet to inhabit.. hate is easy to recognize.

  I don't envy your job buddy. There's simply no way to keep everyone happy. 

  WhenI first came here I was shocked by the vitriol displayed by some,  and at the same time equally impressed by the way vitriolic discussions could be held yet friendships maintained.  

  It was partly this realisation that helped me ease out of the black and white thinking indoctrinated into me from an early age. I'm altogether more balanced now, and if you disagree then you can all just *@#& off!! Only kidding, lg, loving the site, glad I'm finally able to sign in!

  That's an interesting read, and the video is good too. Is there any documentary evidence of the placard anywhere?

  New forum 'parousia' is upon us! (software version)

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  the time has nearly come to switch over to the new forum software.

  of course it's not completely finished yet (and never will be) but i think it's good enough to go live with and probably already better than the current one.

  i'll give you a quick overview of what to expect and post more detail about the changeover process later.. cloud platform.

  Period of time from crack to avalanche

  by NeverKnew in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know, people are very different and have different levels of holds to the organization, but i'm insanely curious about how long an exposure to ttatt may marinate before culminating into an action to research further.. from your earliest memory of a planted seed due to an event, challenge from another person, accidental website hit... whatever... (the crack) to the time the ttatt became a reality, (the avalanche), how much time expired?.

  i guess we have to remember that everyone here is a success story and that for many, it may be never.. .

  From 1 to 10, how do you rate the value of the Internet in your awakening?

  by Hidden-Window in

  2. friends

  as we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.

  i always had doubts and it was the internet that presented me with the ever-growing number of individuals who were going through a similar struggle.. i give the internet a 9 in my awakening.

  what about you?.

  9. Information is what the borg don't want you to have, and the Internet is nothing BUT!

  (the other 1 is reading Ray Franz's books, but I was only able to do that on the Internet through a download. So i guess it's 10 really!)

  Creationism emails from a JW

  by TheStumbler in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  earlier this year, i received an email from a jw family member with a link to this video:.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1ruhkgqjug.

  i wrote a long reply debunking the video (mostly copying talkorigins info).

  I read half of that reply then my brain started hurting.

  I'll come back to this for sure. I genuinely think 40+years of indoctrination has short circuited me intellectually, as whatever info I read on evolution doesn't seem to take a hold inside me. I EAGERLY await your response to the other family member, as I think it could benefit me a great deal.

  Thanks for posting this, you know you'll be helping hundreds of people like me for as long as this site stays live.

  Just quit quietly - the law is on your side!

  by Ajax in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  freedon of religion guarantees any individual the legal right to abandon any religion at any time for any reason.. if you are a citizen of a country which champions human rights, then your government doesn t care what religion you join, but they will uphold your freedom to join it, without interference, coercion or persecution.

  your countries human rights legislation will conversely uphold your rights when it comes time to abandon any religion you so choose.

  those (elders) who incite others interfere, coerce or persecute those who have left will be in transgression of the human rights statutes.. a person is only obligated to ecclesiastic law if he exposes himself to it or transgressed it while still a member of a religious community.. when your time comes to abandon the jw-wt cult, do it while still in good standing, be proactive - be decisive -put it in writing!..and do it before the hounders set sights on you.. write a card or letter with as much or as little explanation as you one day might wish to share with pharisees and lawyers.. take this card to a notary public to have your signature witnessed and have the writing overstamped in several places with the date.

  interesting post, it'd be mega if this worked!

  And welcome azor, takes guts to post the first time, I know the feeling well! Don't worry about bad associations, I'm a jw in good standing, and I gotta say I trust a lot of the people here more than I do some of the people in my own cong!

  If you've not 'endangered' her spirituality, and to the contrary are willing to even support her in her belief, she shouldn't be separated from you. Exercise your God give husbandly authority (!) and quote some wt's and scriptures at her telling her to be in subjection and try to win you over without a word. If that's what you really want. This cult sucks donkey balls.
