  i read somewhere that jw's can vote now?

  it was in a kingdom ministry a few years back.

  i remember being told that voting for anything but jehovah was a sin.

  Are there not enough anti-Witness books out there?

  every once in awhile i will read comments about someone thinking a new anti-witness book needs to be written, to expose something.

  well, recently i took the time to look over the search engines of the internet and found something interesting.

  when you type in "jehovah's witness" or "watchtower", you found almost 3 to 1, negative sites and information on the witnesses.

  I was at my local christian book store the other day to buy a couple of books for a tenant of mine who I learned was studying with the witnesses. There was a whole isle committed to cult religions and there were more about the witnesses than any other cult. So I would say they are doing a pretty good job at making the publications showing where the society is a false religion.. Just to bad she didn't take the books. I told her that I was sorry, that it was her salvation and walked away. I just hope someday she will see the light before it is too late.

  How do you break them from the mind F**king

  i have a tenant, who is a single mother of two in her mid 20's.

  i found out the other day that she and her children are studying with the witnesses.

  i felt compelled to tell her that i too was an unbaptised publisher but had researched the religion just weeks before baptism.

  Is she on welfare too?

  Yes she is.

  Well I sure do thank you all for your post. I just hate it when I see someone newly involved in this cult. I had my heart set on getting her out of this crap and I thought for sure she would at least read what was said about them. It shocked me when she turned the books down because I figured she was not to deep into it. I guess I was wrong. You know it was like a slap in the face when she turned the books down and when she did I seen what I had seen in long time members.

  Oh well I guess we can't save them all. It's just to bad they got into her brain so fast....

  How do you deal with death now

  by unique1 in

  i must say, it was easier being a jw, believing that i would in fact be resurrected to a paradise earth and having the faith that would definitely happen.

  i still believe in the bible to the extent that i believe jesus led a good life and if we follow his example we will lead one to.

  however, the bible was written by men, who are imperfect and therefore i don't feel we can take the entire book at face value as truth.

  Sometimes I pray for the time when it comes and sometimes wish it would come soon but then there are days when I just absolutely love life and want to live forever. I can take it or leave it just depends on my mood at the time.

I felt compelled to tell her that I too was an unbaptised publisher but had researched the religion just weeks before baptism. She simply stated to me that she was using both bibles and she walked off.

  Well that was just not good enough for me ! What me ? Stop telling her about the lies and false prophecies ? No not this guy. I went to my local Christian book store and bought 2 books. One being 20 most asked questions about Jehovahs Witnesses and the other called Answering Jehovahs Witnesses. Both are very good books and lays it out so simply. I figured the young lady was going to college and was a bright person and would at least hear what I had to say or at least read the books ? Nope she told me exactly what I had heard all those times when I was knocking on doors. "Not Interested"

  I do not feel bad that I wasted $20.00 bucks on books because I know someone someday will need these books but you could sure tell that either this lady was either already brain F**ked by the witnesses or she knew my mother who is about one of the most evil people I know. My mother will say and do anything to hurt me or my efforts of getting people out of that organisation as she knows very well that I am a member of this site and have been since 2001.

  My question is this : How does a person break anothers mind free from being controlled ? I call it brain F**king. I need help with this one because I would hate to see her suffer in the future as we all did. Got any ideas ?

  It may well be, but that's in part because it is not the most accurate depiction of the state of global warming science. T

  When is anything accurate when it comes from a politician ? I think never !

  But I do believe that global warming is surely an issue we need to take care of and now not tomarrow.

  I was watching a show on National Geographic about the fact that global warming is causing the ice packs to melt and melting at a faster rate than ever before. It was said that in 50 years the ice will be gone and the sea will raise it's level by 8 feet. That is a lot and yes it will flood many major cities.

  Al Gore may not have all his facts in order but he is bringing up an issue that needs tending righ now.
