my mom called to tell me that my cousin made ms and how happy everyone is.
we got to talking about how the elders think they are led by holy spirit and crap like that.
it damn near killed me not to say anything but my cousin is a double lifer.

at least mine don't anyway.. ive been thinking of there behaviour towards me for the last few weeks, and im just so over them being my parents.
when mike and i went to the hosp on wed night after my nan had passed away, i tried to comfort my mum, she hardly wanted me to touch her.
i didnt even look at my dad for the first half n hour we were there.
Es,
Sorry, I meant to say hospital.
I am glad that you will be getting support from the other side of the family. The JW service is a tough one to sit through, as it is basically a recruitment drive. Very little is said about the deceased.

i just heard that a person i knew who was one of jw's committed suicide.
her name was sharon scarpelli.
she lived in michigan, pennsylvania and south dakota.
V,
Sorry to hear about your friend. Unfortunately, this is not that rare among "the happiest people on Earth."

Es,
I am so sorry that you had to endure the coldness exhibited by your parents at the funeral.

obviously the nazi's hold bloodguilt in part for the jw's who died in the concentration camps.. but unlike jews who could not change who they were, could not become un-jew and would have been killed anyways, jw's were often offered release if they renounced their faith as a jw.. since it is obviously a false teaching they were led to believe - that their eternal salvation rested on being & staying a jw - does the governing body (leadership) hold some bloodguilt, are they accountable in some way, for the atrocities that fell upon jw's?.
or is it merely a principle thing - that no matter what religion/belief was held, one should not be asked to give it up at the whim of a dictator?.
does the individual jw hold any fault based on whether they refused to sign over principle of freedom of belief or whether it was fear of losing their salvation by leaving a certain denomination?.

just out on dvd, "the lives of others" subtitled german.
a fact based story of big brother in east germany under the soviet secret police, the stasi.
chilling to realize it is all based on fact.
Gregor,
Thank you for the recommendation. I'll rent it this weekend.
JK
i have spent an enormus amount of time the past month or so just trying to get to know you.
the collective you...the individual you.... it has been a daunting task.
your post history is such a great avenue into the personalities that have found their way here.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Wings))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
It sounded like you needed a hug.
My personal favorite was the one unraveling the UN/NGO mystery.
JK
no, i'm not here to defend them.
but you know how they love to get off on technicalities.
i'm sure all here would agree that the wt is extremely evasive, misleading, and intellectually dishonest (i.e.
When they joined the UN - They lied. They either lied to the UN and said that they would promote them favorably, or lied to all JW's by going back on their 1963 resolution denouncing the UN.
They had to lie one way or the other.
