Off thread again - just read Zapher's contribution above - OUTSTANDING. Must remember that response for the future; I normally just tell them to f**k off

Bit off-topic, but I have to say it.
2 Jehovah's Witnesses rang the bell last night. I thought f**k it, I'll get mine in first, so I said: "If my parents had been J.W's, I wouldn't be talking to you now."
Noting look of puzzlement, I continued: "I needed a transfusion at birth. Without it I'd've been dead. No question. So will you tell me to my face, right here, right now, that I have no right to life?"
Stutter, evasion, no straight answer.
"Let me make it simple" I continued, "Would you prefer me to be dead, rather than talking to you right now?"
More stutter and evasion.
I repeated my question. No straight answer. I repeated my question. No straight answer. I repeated my question.
They fu***d off.

what the head makes cloudy the heart makes very clear.. we judge ourselves by our intentions; others judge us by our actions
awh whatdidja wanna go and post this for ? it's made my stomach tighten up and i'm feeling guilty about not going out .. heehee ... s'great not being in innit ? ... thing i used to enjoy most was placing mags easily, but having others hate me for doing so ;)
perhaps i'm getting a little battle weary but i'm beginning to understand why certain long-time posters have bowed out from this forum and taken a long break from participating.
i've been here a while but don't post very often - when i do, it's usually because something has driven or inspired me.
i recently posted a genuine response only to get a (to me) sarcastic swipe back - this upset me somewhat and has had me reflecting on it over recent days.
thanks mimilly
i have found so much comfort and support here, but also there are times when this interactive environment feels very much like solo-flying and that posts are for saying something rather than listening to what others have to say
good to have connected with you :)

as an xjw, i feel compassion for those that are still entombed in the borganisation, but my net is cast wider and i want to make a difference to everyone by the small things i choose to say or do
i get the feeling though that at times i am within a louder group of individuals who are on a mission of destruction of the 'watchtower' - albeit understandable considering the extreme and negative effects the wt has had on us and millions of other's lives
however, the focus i personally want is on helping individuals rather than destroying the mega-pseudo-theocratic-book-publishing company
i understand that these two things can have a comfortable juxtaposition, but the hate-filled drive is wearing me down - am i alone in this ?
i tell you what, if men knew they had to get their testicles checked by a young nurse to look for disease the que at the doctors surgery would be round the block.. in fact what a good idea , lets go to my doctor to have them checked right now.. i hope it's doctor pricket (yes thats her real name)with the short skirts.. i've got a fasinating story to tell about the trouble my testicles got me into, i may tell it one day.
ahh and there's me thinking we'd all been emasculated by the Borganisation, but it's actually that we were emancipated from the Borganisation ...
amnesty int'l, along with other human rights groups, are frequently.
called upon to defend jehovah's witnesses.
for example, a witness.
hi metatron ... amnesty isn't about helping organisations, it's about helping people ... whether you agree with the tenets of any particular organisation or not, the people within it are still entitled to the same human rights as the rest of us

did you guys see that one of the more popular jw sites closed down?
greatcrowd.net ceased to exist.
who's left?.
i guess with the internet having it's roots in the military, it would be unchristian to use it ... like you say syn, they've found a 'valid' reason to ban everything else ...
reading the lb thread "home but hiding" struck a chord with me.. i remember when i was inactive for the period of about a year the elders made a few "sheperding calls".. did anyone else out there find these very rude and condescending?.
first of all, in my case at least they always showed up unannounced.
how much do you think those "hell-ders" would like it if someone randomly dropped by their house unexpected?
hey reborn - my feelings too - why in hell don't they pick up the phone and ask for permission to call - like normal people would ?
i haven't associated for five years and went ahead and disassociated a few months back - i STILL get calls at my door, just never answer the door to them - if they picked up the phone and called me i'd happily speak to them
i guess the thing is, it's the system of the borganisation rather than the people in it that is at fault - control, control, control ... just like any other international corporate organisation with stuff to sell - however my product loyalty is too precious to waste on them ...
