  if you have a need to hate the wts then so be it.. but don't hate all jw's, that is just wrong .. you preach that you have found truth, if that were the case then where is your love for all humans?.

  Then that is where I will have to agree to disagree.
  
  The WTS is not in the wrong they just have some in the Organization that have gone wrong.
  
  Just a few bad apples that is all.
  
  Nothing that can not be made right.
  
  Then here's a suggestion;
  Go pester the WTS on how you can fix them and leave us alone because we are doing just fine without you.

  John Woo directed the second MI movie. J.J. Abrams (Alias, Lost, etc...) directed this one.

  do not read anymore of this persons topics

  by DavidChristopher in

  david christopher is a bi polar mental case and anything he posts on here is nothing but a lot of bull.

  he has no clue what he is talking about and thinks he is going to save the world by talking to people on the internet.

  he claims that god and jesus tell him what to do but also thinks he is satan.

  The Point of this Site?

  by Samael in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  forgive me if i sound rude or this question has been answered elsewhere, as i am a neophyte and discovered your site through google in my religious studies.

  from reading the various posts it seems that this site serves nothing more than an iconoclastic purpose.

  was your experience as jw's so traumatic that now you can but put forth such effort to daemonize the religion?

  Katie,
  I agree with you about the shorthand... If gets so frustrating to try and explain to non-dubbified people. Plus I gain a sense of comraderie through the shared experience.
  
  And there are cute women on the board, like you.

  Double Standards with Liberal Witness Friends

  by Fleshybirdfodder in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm sure this may have been covered, but many ex witnesses i know that have not been formally df'd or dissasociated thenselves still retain some friends among witnesses.

  any friends i have for the most part that are still in the org are really congenial people, until it comes down to any discussion that might teeter on the edge of being remotely deep.

  i've had one friend i hadn't seen in a while who came to visit me tell me right off the bat that we were not to "discuss religion", because i'm "too smart" and he "he won't be able to argue" with me.

  Just a comment;
  In your discussions with non-dub friends, they can be open to admitting to being wrong or at the least accepting the fact that your viewpoint has merit. A dub cannot.It would mean the WTS™ (AKA; god) is wrong.
  
  Everything they know has to be right or the whole world WTS™ construct starts to unravel. Hence, the warnings to stay away from rabid apostates at all costs.
  
  I know they might be nice enough people, but you are never going to get the kind of close friendship you are seeking as long as they remain in.

  ...happy birthday to me....happy birthday to me..... hi everyone!

  we'll most likely do a nice dinner tonight as a family (husband, daughter and i), and i will have to buy my own cake.

  but we can never call it a birthday anything...the very mention of the term freaks him out!

  If you have a need to hate the WTS then so be it. Thank you.
  
  But don't hate all JW's, that is just wrong . I sense a greater degree of pity for those stuck inside rather than an all-inclusive attitude of hate. Certainly there are specific instances mentioned and often the hatred is well-deserved. Where do you see that we hate of all dubs?
  
  You preach that you have found truth, if that were the case then where is your love for all humans? Again, cite examples of those preaching they have truth. In many cases, we are finding what works for us and us alone.

  I realize people hear lack faith, Can't change them, but may this will help

  the apostle paul told the christians in the ancient city of philippi: "this is what i continue praying, that your love may abound yet more and more with accurate knowledge and full discernment.

  philippians 1:9

  similarly, accurate knowledge is needed for you to be motivated to believe in god.
