I sympathize with how you feel. We all go through a period of self examination where we feel we are worthless. And drifting. And guilty for no apparant reason. Thats the collateral damage that accompanies giving up the former lifestyle within the cult. And it needs to be sucked up.

Heres a poem that helped me so much that it became my pillar, my backbone. Also it made a loner out of me. Standing alone makes you the strongest.I hope you like poetry. Please read and I hope it strengthens you.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

"Elders are allowed to investigate..." Juat what are their qualifications as investigators? Have they had any experience in really "investigating" a pedophile case before with irrefutable evidence that was instrumental in convicting the felon? So what is the special qualification that allows these worms to find themselves eligible to "investigate " a case of this magnitude? And after it ha ben proven in a court of law-of-the-land? 'Pray what meat doth this Caesar feed that he is grown so great?'

Wait a minute! Are you asking me to believe that a country that changed the face of the world and brought monarchs to their knees, is allowing a scumbag cult to chuck its jurisprudence out the door, override a judicial decision and set up a kangaroo court (affter the-proven-in the-kings-court fact) and then allow this guttersnipe, to interview his victims so that they( the victims) have to prove (to the worms who call themselves elders) that he indeed was guilty and they were innocent victims- just so they can "disfellowship"him?And is this now being condoned by the rank and file witnesses as well as the rest of the country?

somebody please hit me on the head with a watchtower!

Can White JWs Have Mustaches?

by Space Madness in

jw
friends

someone mentioned in another thread that white jws can't have mustaches but black jws can.

i noticed that the only governing body member with a mustache is black.

can anyone confirm that this is an official policy?

Hairtrigger

R U Kidding me? I know of CO's and DO's who have miles of the fungus on their faces .Every congregation I've been to has one or two mustache petes on the BOE.They would fit right in with The James Dalton gang if they were born a century and a half ago. Hell man it's only a mustache. Not an ambush!!(lol)

Do you think JWs are dangerous, if yes why? If not, why?

by suavojr in

jw
friends

personally the jws to me are not dangerous.

on the other hand, many do think they are in fact a dangerous cult.

why are they dangerous?.

Hairtrigger

They are bloody tenaciousI'll tell you that. Just ask any and all who are trying to fade.

"Such men as they be never at hearts ease whence they behold someone happier than themselves. They (don't) think too much; Seldom they smile (in earnest) and when they do, it is to zap a sucker into their net of deceipt ; Obedient to their masters whose commands trancendeth god above. Such men are dangerous." ( with apologies to Shakespeare)
