  'no one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.'.

  many have been hurt by the practice of shunning.

  family members, [former?

  Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  it's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.

  in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.

  you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

  If you dare show objectivism, check out "The Story of the Tulsa Riots" here:

  It will help you understand where the frustration comes from.

  2. experiences

  this week has been the week when my whole way of thinking shifted.

  i still cannot believe how this can happen so fast.

  over a period of seven days i went from not even imagining that i could ever not be a witness to wanting to get out of this organisation.. .

  Welcome to this community.

  Ever since learning TTATT, it is so very difficult being a JW and pretending all is fine. I must hang on because my immediate and extended family is large and heavily invested in this faith. It is super rough on the psyche, though.

  The poor and deprived life of JW children.

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i find it hard to believe that adults on this forum make such a big deal about not celebrating birthdays, x-mas, easter, halloween, etc, etc, etc.

  i grew up as a jw kid and it actually made me feel good, being different from the other kids in school.

  we went to meetings.

  Eqv,

  I totally get you. Having grown up in the Spanish congs, it was a blast. So we did not celebrate the popular holidays, but still all the different parties we did celebrate were and continue to be so much fun!

  Recently, I heard about one of the fellow Spanish congs got all the kids together and threw a Disney theme party, character dress ups and all! Great food, games, gifts, dancing. Definitely IMO JW kids are by no means less happy growing up than any other groups.

  The adults must make sure entertainment is not lacking in their little one's life.

  Do You Think Humanity Will Ever Be Completely Free From Religion?

  by InjusticeSystem in

  1. social
  2. current

  i realize that many here still have a form of spirituality or faith, and i mean no disrespect to those individuals.

  i suppose i am posting this question to those, like myself, who have come to the conclusion that religion in general is a major hindrance to the progress of our species and needs to be put aside so that we can advance to our full potential.

  so my question is, do you think this will ever actually happen, and how do you think we can get there?

  Never. In the absence of a deity, people worship objects, other people, themselves, money, you name it. We humans have that gene of having the need to adore something; God given to keep us dependant? Inexplicable.

  just wondering, how many wives of elders had influence?

  by sowhatnow in

  2. scandals

  id wonder how many wives of servants had the upper hand so to speak, on issues, that of course, were supposed to be private, yet gee lets be honest, husbands and wives talk.

  its nature.

  so if you were a wife of a servant how much did you get involved?

  By my experience, none. My elder is quite the heavy in all things JW and all I do is toe the line with a nice smile as best as possible. All the while dreaming of leaving it all behind if he happens to die first. Sometimes my fantasies are more along the lines of asking him out of the blue for a divorce, but I am too chicken to carry it out, plus I do love the guy.

  Why are there so many pedophiles predators in the Watchtower Corporation?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  one reason is because the governing body's policies allow them to run loose in the congregation with their secrecy/kangaroo courts.

  .

  to keep jehovah's name untarnished(organization sock puppet) they have put the little rank and file member at risk.. one member of the gb was a child molester.. sexual repression also seems to aggravate the situation and make matters worse.. the governing body main concern is not children but how to keep the scam going and so if they can get the victim to shut up and not go to the police as it offers a temporary fix.. etc.....

  This question comes from ignorance. Any conglomerate of humans will contain all types of behavior. Any group.

  In actuality, for the millions of JWs on record, a few hundreds of pedos is nothing more than a drop in a bucket.

  Reminds me of the Fox propaganda. However, there does need to be a reporting policy adjustment in order to catch these sexual criminals.

  2. experiences

  so, not long ago i've told you guys how one of my only two jw friends saw my comment against the borg and called me about it.

  well, the little fraker also called the elders to tell on me.

  i know i've been a huge idiot for posting a comment about jw's on facebook, but nonetheless i did it and what's happened, happened.. two idiot elders came all the way from the nearest congo, 30 miles away to talk to me about it.
