  I think Joelbear had it right - nobody wants to be in Sue's car group, so she had to get her time here

  Bulger killers release - just?

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the news that the killers of jamie bulger have been released, it would be interesting to know how people feel.. from the mcveigh thread it seems that many americans believe the death penalty would have been appropriate.. i do not know whether many in the us know of the case in britain of a 2 year old being tortured and murdered by two 10 year olds.

  but now 8 years later they have been released.. i know of the arguments that they have been rehabilitated since killing jamie bulger.....but is this really justice?

  I seem to be able to think of this only as a mother. I wouldn't want those 2 walking any streets my chidren were on. I have no way of knowing if those 2 murderers are reformed or not, but I wouldn't want to bet my childrens lives on it. If it were left to me I'd say to keep them in jail - they deprived a little boy of his life in a manner I can only feel is evil.

  Perhaps the problem lies with society which does not notice when their young are developing into monsters, but this in no way excuses them, they made their own decisions.

  Well UncleOnion, looks like they don't know what to do about you, so are taking a pretty standardised approach.

  Just like a doctor - "Don't know what the problem is, just take this pill and get well".

  Maximus - just their eyes? - or are you just being polite?

  'Millions Now Living Will Never Have a Life'

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  millions now living will never have a life that should have been the proclamation in the 1920s.

  it certainly turned out to be the case for those who listened.

  often you get a real insight into this by considering the wasted-life stories that appear in the magazines.

  What a sad story ...... repeated so often wherever the WTS can dupe people into living in poverty to promote their propoganda (and sell their literature).

  Why many do not hear the holy spirit...

  by kes152 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "a man had two sons.. he went up to the first son and asked him, "son, go please and bring in my sheep from the pasture.

  for it is getting dark and it would be dangerous to leave them out at night.".

  so the son goes out and brings in the flock, because his heart was on obeying his father and he wanted to care about the same things his father cared about.

  I'm sorry, but I don't get that "peace to all" dribble as a follow on from the tirade of negativitiy . Is that a new fundie way of getting converts? I think you need to wipe your chin more often, or stop all that dribbling.

  The Power of the Human Spirit

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have read many accounts of human tragedy on this board.

  i have also read the recovery that people have experienced once they got out from under the oppressive and destructive world that was the watchtower.

  i find it amazing that when people receive a modicum of a healthy environment how they are able to heal, sometimes quickly and sometimes more slowly, but the progress is there.

  Hi Larc

  If you don't mind a newbie saying so, you beat me to the punch . I have been spending time in the experiences forum over the last few days, and because of that had been thinking of posting a similar observation to the one you have made here. For every person here who has left or is questioning the WTS there is a story of hurt and of healing.

  You wrote:

  We might regret the lost years. However, we have the knowledge and experience to do a great deal of good for others, and that is our blessing.

  This is what I have seen a lot of on this board - people who have turned their negatives into positives, not just for themselves, but for others.

  I'm glad to know you all

  Sue, welcome. How naughty of you to still keep associating with "apostates". I'd love to hear some answers to the questions you haven't answered.

  Welcome Wolfy, hope you enjoy your visits to this board

  but..I get that little voice in the back of my head that says...What If you are wrong?...And I do not like being wrong......It is just a very hard decision...

  I think you will find that a lot of people here have felt or are feeling like this. These doubts are grey areas, and the WTS deals only in black and white. It took me a while to get used to dealing with these grey areas.

  Hope to hear more from you
