  Voltaire

  although he has been misquoted, voltaire famously said.

  "i do not agree with what you have to say, but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.".

  how good it would be if this maxim could be held on this board.

  Could it be possible that people here might respect the beliefs and ideas of others

  If there respectable. why not?

  On the Rooibos tea. Trader Joe's has a great seasonal Rooibos tea, Pumpkin Spice. It comes in an orange tin. I think it is only $3.99.

  What if you could just walk away? No DF'ing or Shunning?

  by QuestioningEverything in

  1. jw

  if i could tell my mom and other family jw's that i wasn't going back, didn't believe it and wanted to move on with my life without worrying about being df'd or shunned, i'd do it in a heartbeat.. but, that is not the case.

  wonder how many the wtbs would lose if they changed their policy on this?

  how many of you would have left sooner if there were 'no strings attached' to the wt?.

  The Watchtower claims the purpose is to cause those who stray to see the error of their ways and repent but the real truth is that the purpose of shunning is to keep witnesses in fear of leaving if they start having doubts. It is a very effective way of controling people.

  Recently on this board I mentioned my second cousin on my wife side of the family. When she left about four years ago her parents turned their back on her. She knew I was a Jdub at one time who left and she wanted to contact me. No one would give her my number. My wife had her number but didn't want to give it to me. They still try to control you after you leave. It really is quite the evil system.

  One channel on Direct TV is running a program called " The Mormon Candidate". It is about Mitt but it cover how Morons treat those who leave the church. Very similar to what the Dubs do.

  One thing for sure Emery. You can't accuse the Witnesses of having no class.

  funny convo my wife had, an old friend called who connected with her on fb.

  i was messing around in the kitchen when i hear my wife say jovially but forcefully "oh i dont go anymore cause my husband says its a cult!!!'.

  seams she was on the phone with a fence sitter she grew up with but that statement was amazing lol.

  Flirting with going Vegetarian, anyone of you ever graduate from simply thinking about it?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's just a thought right now, but one of those thoughts where i have that itch.

  it's that same itch felt before i purchase something major.

  i'm just wondering what i might be getting into based upon others experiences in this regard.

  I know what you are saying Dario but also notice here that those who eat meat are rubbing their meat eating in the face of someone who is just thinking about going vegetarian. I see this all the time. I think most people don't want to think about where their meat comes from. Look up gestation crates and you'll get an idea of how these animals are abuse before they show up nicely packaged in the supermarket. It is a far cry from the methods used a hundred years ago or by a hunter whose prey is living a normal, probably happy existance up till the moment it is killed.
