THE NEWS IS BIGGER THAN DATELINE, BBC, CBC, ETC.

by AndersonsInfo in

if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?

have i ever misled you?

i'll answer that--no!

I dont know what the news is, but if it is what i'm guessing and a few others have suggested, I would suggest preparing yourself to be of some sort of support to some pretty devastated souls.

As much as I'm hoping for the news, in reality I hate the prospect of seeing my parents especially deal with what could be some very tramatic revelations. They've given their life to this cult.

Most meaningful to me, from the standpoint of what might affect my family, would be 1: blood, 2: financial.

Me too..and in that order.

I think I might have an idea, but I don't want to jinx it even though I think its already been hinted at. But only a couple of things could evoke more emotion and reaction than money and the misuse of it. I have my hopes on one of them.

As a general comment though, what most people cannot tolerate, is hypocrisy. Most JWs even if misguided can't stand it, and people who are not can't stand it either.

on another thread a poster talked about getting beat over the head with a certain banner ad.

now everytime i come to the site i seem to be getting hit with this one:.

Actually, I'm about as far away from organized religion as you can get...been burned enough for 2 lifetimes.

I just wonder about those who really do go for this stuff. I tolerate religion and use it as a study in human nature, but this kind of stuff....i just shake my head

Learn about the visit of Jesus Christ to ancient America.

www.josephsmith.com I won't even comment on what I think as I try to live and let live now, and at most just shake my head...but I have to ask rhetorically, is someone intentionally trying to make it hard for me to like religion? Axelspeed

The Watchtower's view of Christmas

by Jeffro in

there is an article featured on the watchtower official site about how christmas has lost christ.

what exactly is their problem with this?

they have been trying to tell people for years that jesus wasn't born at christmas time, and then they get upset when other people behave the same way.

Axelspeed

I find it interesting that on one hand the WT finds it within itself to allow certain celebrations, such as those involving pinatas, because in their own words, they have lost religious significance and so are allowable.

But then in the next breath condemn other celebrations, i.e. Chrismas, because they arent religious enough.

if I was still a JW and found out about this, I really believe I would immediately walk away from the WT and never look back.

I'm looking forward to this...consider me teased!

I am reminded though:

“All forms of dedication, devotion loyalty and self-surrender are in essence a desperate clinging to something which might give worth and meaning to our futile, spoiled lives. Hence the embracing of a substitute will necessarily be passionate and extreme. We can have qualified confidence in ourselves, but the faith in our nation, religion, race or holy cause has to be extravagant and uncompromising. A substitute embraced in moderation cannot supplant and efface the self we want to forget. We cannot be sure that we have something worth living for unless we are ready to die for it. This readiness to die is evidence to ourselves and others that what we had to take as a substitute for an irrevocably missed or spoiled first choice is indeed the best there ever was.” - True Believer, Eric Hoffer

Yeah...Although I believe the WT is already imploding slowing, I still tragically remain a cynic as I lament over the more gullible aspects of human nature...but I hope whatever it is gets some of my family seeing (or admitting to) the light. I am eagerly awaiting the news though!
