  Why would you want to kill the org?

  by what_Truth? in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know that there's a lot of people here who have been deeply hurt by the jehovah's witnesses (i have as well).

  i also know that the gb are a bunch of lying bastards.

  still i have also met a lot of people who have made their lives much better by becoming jehovah's witnesses.

  I wonder, is it really kind to reach out to those people and expose the way they've been mislead? Isn't it better just to let them be blissfully ignorant? Is there certain criteria that we should look for in a dub before trying to snatch him from the org?

  We OWE exposure of what the WTS has done to the people we love...our family and friends. AND to people who may become victims in the future.

  Sorry. "Blissfully ignorant" does not cut it it with me. You are still kind of new, you haven't had a chance to read and get involved...and b l e e d with current, on-going tragedies with REAL people. Right here. Right now.

  Because of that, I owe you understanding.

  Here is something to think about: NAZI Germany was truly an evil corruption of man and does not in many ways equal what the WTS does. However...do you remember your history ? At the end of WW2...word got out among the common German people...about the Concentration & Death Camps. But, as supporters of Hitler (he had improved their lives in many ways) they absolutlely DISBELIEVED the rumors of the Death Camps. The Allied Generals ORDERED the population to tour these camps to show them...what was being done in their name.

  They were "blissfully ignorant".

  After they were educated, they did not 'jump out of the frying pan - into the fire'. And neither will most X-JW's. I do not NEED religion of any kind to know right from wrong.

  My beautiful Mom DIED 4 years ago, refusing a blood transfusion !

  My family is in turmoil, because of WT 'laws'. I attempted suicide several years ago because of this shitty religions' tyranny.

  My daughter attempted the same 3 years ago. All while under loving "Elder" care !

  The 'death' of the WTS is at least 4 years OVER DUE !

  After that 'death'...I say death to all extremist religions of any ilk.

  Thank you for letting me rant. I appreciate very much your question. Please don't take what I said to you, as an attack on you...just on an idea.

  Please understand... my family and I are b l e e d i n g . . . right now.

  David A,

  What kind of question is that "Do you people have jobs?" ? I would like to read something that you have written to see if you can get past 2 paragraphs without jumping to wild conclusions or painting a group of people with a very wide all-emcompassing brush!

  Most successful authors have open minds that allow them to 'look before they leap'. Do you imagine there are only a handful of people here ? Do you even have ANY idea how many DIFFERENT posters there are here ?

  And yes...I too have a job. I own a company that luckily pays me recurring money. Lucky, because I have had several surgeries in the last year. So, be respectful. If you really want to learn anything...(I know "...you don't care...") if you ask nicely, you'll find out.

  That's "MR. Rabbit" to you.

  WTS Leaders strong arm tactics

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  wts leaders don't want to give up their authority.

  they fear that doing so will give members too much time to think and pursue personal goals at the expense of organizational goals.. but in small ways they are being forced to loosen their grip.

  out of one corner of their mouths they say, "voting/blood fractions/certain holidays are a conscience matter" while at the same time tyring to maintain control via strong arm tactics - -.

  purplesofa !

  Welcome ! I really enjoyed your 1st post, it was very insightful and soberly observant. I made my 1st post here about a year ago...it has made an unbelievable difference in my life. Like your story, which some day you'll hopefully share, mine made me think (at the time) I was unique in my feelings of failure in my WT experiences. Reading here, I was comforted by so many who had gone thru what I had...and much, much more.

  Please...pull up that couch of yours...have some coffee or tea...or stronger (most of us will knock back something stronger at times ) take your shoes off...and stay awhile.

  Taylor...Welcome from Texas. The judgments I was expected to believe in, against my friends during my 35 years as a JW make me sick now. (and I followed them...)

  Never again! Congratulations for getting out.

  Mio Gumbellini...chao!

  Can an X-Elder ever look like a pot-smokin' California surfer dude...? YES ! If he looks EXACTLY like our beloved GumbyLips.

  Ahhhhh....the things demonz can do when they jump into the back of your neck. (his eyes ~glow~ and his voice is deep and funny sounding - go figure)

  Seriously, I consider him a close friend, his humor has helped to get a laugh out of me, when I thought it was impossible. We need more people like him to remind us there are laughs and life...after the dubs.

  Cheers Gumbellini !

  Everybody's talking about a 'title'...in honor of Gumby...how's about 10,000 posts = Mighty GumsFlapper ?

  Eh, Simon...?

  much has been posted about the recent superbowlfest, so i don't want to repeat too much, especially after the synopsis that country girl posted:.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/19/73156/21.ashx.

  i was busting a gut at work so i could get there, hence my silence during the lead up to the fest.

  Mr. Bear and Mr. Rabbit....

  by upside/down in

  1. social
  2. humour

  are squatting in a meadow taking a dump.. the bear is having a bit of a go with it and turns and asks the rabbit, " excuse me mr. rabbit, but do you ever have trouble with... well you know, with "it" sticking to your fur.".

  the rabbit replies quite proudly, "why no mr. bear "it" never sticks to my fur- you see i'm a vegetarian and so "it" never sticks.".

  so mr. bear reaches over and grabs mr. rabbit and proceeds to wipe himself with mr. rabbit.. sorry- i thought it was funny!.
