  a watcher, have you gone to Jesus for salvation?

  Or, did you run to the Watchtower Society for your salvation?

  here's the thing,.

  the whole aawa idea had noble ideas behind it, but the ship has sailed and the movement needs to go back to the drawing board.

  AAWA extends an open offer to the Governing Body of the Watch Tower Society (or their representatives) to meet with AAWA to discuss ways in which the organization can introduce much-needed reforms concerning the above core issues.

  http://jwactivists.org/who-are-we/

  Dear AAWA,

  Thank you for your kind invitation to sit down with you to discuss ways in which Jehovah's organization

  can introduce much needed reforms concerning what you refer to as core issues.

  In case you aren't aware, we have been appointed by Jesus as his faithful and discreet slave and are

  carrying out his wishes for his Father's organization.

  However, we will be more than happy to sit down with you for an open discussion provided that you

  supply us with a list of all your current and past members, including their addresses and telephone numbers.

  Sincerely,

  The Governing Body of Jehover's Witnesses

  1996 DC - Columbia S.C.

  First Day:

  Due to all the loving brothers and sisters who had seats saved, the only seats

  were in the upper balconies which were accessed by climbing up very steep steps.

  We had our 5 year old and 3 month old children in tow and didn't even try to climb them

  so we could obediently stream to the mountain of Jehover to be educated in the mental-regurgitating

  bullshit from the faithless, diseased slobberers.

  Instead, we opted to sit out in the breezeway where it was 20-30 degrees cooler than inside the venue.

  Less than 10 minutes after the first boasting session began we were approached by a snot nosed attendant

  who couldn't have been more than 19 years old.

  He told us that we had to sit inside and continued on his merry way harassing other families with

  young children who were sitting on the floor in the breezeways.

  We knew better than attempt the stairs and the 100+ degree heat inside the auditorium.

  So, we loaded up the kids and instead of checking into the motel, we called and canceled the reservations

  and then proceeded to drive approximately 100 miles to Myrtle Beach where we had a glorious 3 day

  real vacation which the kids thoroughly enjoyed.

  That was the last DC for me.

  Being honest & fair, can you think of anything that the Watchtower does that's beneficial to the public?

  i'm curious, as where i reside there's about to be a major brouhaha over the tax exempt status of a major player in this area.

  reading and hearing the arguments from both sides conjured thoughts about the tax exempt status of religions and the arguments associated with that issue.

  a significant portion of the arguments related to that issue center around how a tax exempt organization benefits it's community.

  They print information telling people that if they don't become a JW then

  God is going to have to kill them.

  The anti abortion groups quickly learned that having the prefix "anti" in their organization's

  name was detrimental to their image so they opted for the "pro" prefix.

  Hence, ProLife

  The pro abortion crowd also likes the "pro" prefix.

  Hence, ProChoice.

  When you get a couple of newbie Watchtower rejecters together who have no real world

  experience because all they have been exposed to is negative sh*t about everything and

  everyone but their own little group they make mistakes common to the uneducated.

  I looked over their facebook site a couple of days ago and realized it reminded me of a song...

  He's a real nowhere Man,
  Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
  Making all his nowhere plans
  For nobody.
  Doesn't kave a point of view,
  Knows not where he's going to...

  Making all his nowhere plans

  in another thread a comment by mamochan13 related this experience:.

  of course, after i was df'd my perspective changed.

  one meeting a couple of months into it they announced that a young girl, about 17, had been df'd.

  My PTSD has been rearing its ugly head of late. Last night I had a flashback to my then future D-I-L's disfellowshipping announcemnt. She was there. It looked like she had been literally shot in the heart. I saw it in slow motion-- her body sitting upright it the chair, then the announcement, her body slamming against the back of the chair and then slumping into the chair. I know that she had pleaded with them not to DF her. Either she didn't believe they would or she believed they would change their mind at the last minute. She was dying of cancer.

  Heartless bastards.
