  How many people have you SAVED from the JWs?

  by kid-A in

  ok, maybe the word "saved" is inappropriate.... in my case, i would have to count three.

  two of my best friends from when i was growing up who initially resisted my questions and apostate leanings but are now free of the borg and have confided it was our conversations that led to their de-programming.

  and, my sister, through pretty much the same circumstances.

  EXJW4EVR,

  I think you're exagerating a bit the cospiracy theory....

  I am Italian but I can honestly tell you that team that every single year does stupid things like spitting and elboing people like DeRossi (last night) and Totti (last year) did, deserve to be out of the game.

  But if you watch closely you'll see that the tackle was hard (maybe yellow was enough) and Italy was stopped at list 5 times for off-sides that did not exist.

  The referee was shit all right... but I believe It was incopetent both ways.

  As for Italy I don't know if you are aware of the scandal of corruption that has recently come out, and is so bad that for that alone they don't deserve to get thorough the fist round.....

  My second home is England so I support them too!

  i just heard a brief report that the vatican has okd the use of condoms to prevent the spread of the hiv virus.

  this is good news and a relief to many.

  in light of the growing aids epidemic world wide this allowance is very compassionate on the part of the church.

  I first read of them at the end of 2001 on the Guardian UK and I can tell you they are nuts.

  They made about 100 predictions, that of course failed, and held international meetings advertising on the Inependent or Guardian where 5 attended.

  Funny though....

  CONGRATULATION!!

  In part one you wrote that we would not convince you that JWs don't have the truth....

  Well you were right , you convinced yourself of that!!!

  keep that in mind when you talk to others, nobody accepts the real truth untill they are ready, don't force it or you'll lose 'em.....just give them the instruments to research as you did.... That is what was (is many times over) good about Quotes web site....

  I expirienced exaclty the same thing as you.....Good on ya and welcome to the light!

  Take care

  i'm totally amazed.

  i gave that un report to my (hardcore jw to the extreme max, but in a nice way) aunt, and she didn't speak of it for several days.

  when she said nothing, i knew i'd gotten somewhere.. today she finally spoke up.

  Dozy,

  Why can the WT be part of the bla-bla-bla Beast and you and I can't take up a stupid membership of say a union to help defend your rights as a worker instead of paying big money for a lawyer?

  Not to mention Malawi.......

  The fact that something like that was taken lightly just goes to show how no God is behind the WT, and the giudes have no more holy spirit than you and I have. Maybe a bigger ego......

  They make sure to write lots of little rules for you, making every single decision a drama for your concience, but they seem to be careless for their own conduct.

  That alone, assuming that no alter motive was involved, should ring a bell to you.

  Ultimately you can spin anything and believe what you like. I personally have justified the WT for years always finding very good reasons for their unreal behaviour.

  This people that carelessly dealt with the "Beast" and made a lot of bad predictions are the same people that nontheless are absolutely sure you or child should die before taking blood.

  Please doubt them......

  Recently my cusin (20 years in) told me "how could I not see that?".

  You won't see the wrong untill you are ready for it....... then it'll look so clear......

  Good luck

  Hi,

  When I was im my 20s I started tinking about this question and came up with an idea, but then I abbandoned it as WT didn't like it. :-)

  I'm actually going back to it now....

  God has not won yet. Satan was proven a liar with Jesus, but humans have not proven that they cannot govern them selves.

  Yes we die and make wars etc but we're are still here and managing. To prove their incapacity to rule humans have to auto-destroy the human race. God will pull the plug just before that happens.

  The idea sprung from another question:

  How do you conclusevely prove that humans cannot govern them selves?

  As long as the specie goes on you can criticise it but can't say we can't make it.

  I don't know if it make any sense but if it does, we are paving our way to self distruction. and all the religions we have created are our milestones.... :-)
