I have a friend in Phoenix, Arizona . He told me last week that the JW flock has increased rapidly in the latino race. That the Mexicans are upset with Catholic faith and the JW's are feeding on it, gaining many members very fast.

I was a Mormon when I was a teenager, I was excommunicated when I was 19 for fornication. But a few years back I was contracting a remodeling job for a doctor who was a Mormon. I asked him why they did not shun those who were excommunicated. He told me that the reason was because they feel that love was the key for those removed to return.

I'm not so sure that putting a creep like this is the answer. Afterall dying is a easy way out. But putting these creeps in prison for the rest of their lives is way worse torture than killing these bastards. And if he is lucky the prisoners won't kill them anyways. I hear it said that a child molestor is at a very high risk while doing their time because other prisoners don't like child molestors and he may end up killed in prison anyways. But honestly living the rest of their lives behind bars is a torture to them.
I know someone who is in prison for life without parole and he says he wishes he was dead instead. He is in for murder. He says it is hard the thought of living in those circumstances for the rest of his life and would rather the easier way out. Death.
I think if someone molest a child they should be locked up and the key thrown away.............

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE HUMAN RACE?!
by Mary ini watched dr. phil yesterday, where they were highlighting the disappearance of natalee holloway who disappeared in aruba over 5 months ago, and amy bradley who vanished from a cruise ship 7 years ago.
i always assumed that these girls were raped and then murdered and they very likely could be, but the program highlighted the sex-slave trade that is growing in leaps and bounds all over the world.
i sat there and listened in shock as one guy revealed what happens to some of these girls during snuff movies.

I am a 44 year old man who has never heard of "snuff movies" before until I read this thread.
I don't know but I guess I am just a virgin in this area. When I read the thread I got sick to my stomach. I think it is important for people like Dr. Phil and Oprah to bring this info to the front so that people like me can learn about these gross and unusual acts so that we can teach our children friends and family about these terrible deeds to others. Although I do not believe that God had anything to do with it. These people will face the judgement of God someday and I can only hope and pray that these are also caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

There are JW's, Mormon, 7th Day Adventist, Atheist, Christians and all alike here. One thing we all have in common is that we are human, all a creation. We all eat food, sleep, think, work and live just like everyone else so why worry about who or what is here on this board ?

Of Late Many Here Seem To Be Preaching Aethiesm..
by Qcmbr inwhen i first came here a while back there was plenty of discussion around and about jw topics and general chit chat but of late i've felt quite a sharp increase in posts that are: .
1/ preaching aethism (as opposed to putting it forward in a respectful way as an alternate viewpoint.
2/ vitriolic attacks on those who dare have another view ('damn those stupid heretical believers') .

What I fing odd is that those who were witnesses when they were in, had a genuine love for God but when they left the society they grew a strong hate for God as if it were Gods fault that they themselves were deceived. For years they claimed to have a accurate knowledge of scriptures and believed in Heaven and Hell , but now have lost there faith in the creator.
I have noticed that these who hate God or lost their belief in God have become bitter and angry and in turn result in bitter name calling, lashing out evil words towards those who still believe. I guess those who are atheist think that because they lost their own faith feel that it is absurd for anyone else to keep their faith in the Lord.
I also think that those who name call and are sarcastic really in truthfullness only show their real fruits. I personally do not hang with people who are sarcastic and mean towards others and I find that people who are of such do not have many friends in the world and are unhappy with themselves. I also think that many who come out of the wtbs should and need counseling. There are counselors that work specifically in this field to help those coming out of a cult.
I had some friends in Texas when I lived there who were involved in capturing those in cults and then debrainwashed them. Sometimes these guys would end up in jail usually for just a short time but when released were right back out there doing there work.
I find it sometimes very difficult to post here at times because of the anger that gets shared here, sometimes I think that because I was not fully involved in the wtbs that I lack understanding in these types of people. But after careful thinking and study I have learned and truly feel that no it cannot be because of the wtbs but it is the individual themselves who make up what and who they are. It is up to each one person to make the change, noone can change anyone.
But I agree with this thread poster, I do not like those who criticize and name calling as it does indeed chase those away that are here and who are desperate for help. I didn't think that this discussion board was about chasing away others and maybe not but it does happen and happens often. Even I have lowered my amount of postings here because of the bitterness and ugliness that comes from some of those here. I went through hell here a couple of weeks ago for merely posting a thoughtful gesture. You would have thought all hell had broke loose here, but one thing I will not do is lower myself to the level of others who act like little children without control.............
