I thought some of their replies to answering JWs while bugging them at home was funny! One guy said "Hey, I have my wife here and she's allowed me to have another girl here. Can you witness my sex so I can tell my friends I had a threesome?

Basically they don't care how wrong their religion is as long as it makes them happy? I knew only a few Witnesses who were actually happy, the rest thought the people or congregation was not very nice. -

I know one lady who was working on one person in our area and we have a Mosque! They were afraid to preach out of fear they could get killed or upset them in the Prophet's faith.
Did you see the News about those idiots in Texas who were drawing a cartoon of the Prophet and the terrorist got shot to death yesterday was it? Why must they push around a hot button topic, Late Night Radio Talk Show said "If this was cartoonist drawing Jesus Christ they would have burned down the building in Texas", he's wrong on that issue but it does not allow those insulting Islam to cause troubles we do not need!

Was it Dr. Dawkins or Bertrand Russell who said "Why did you make it so hard for me to believe in You!" I am a Theist working my way around this World and have the utmost respect for all the gut-wrenching evils you endured. I watched cancer eat four of my brothers and sisters and father (five people), my outlook is quite fearful on-top of my early JW Teachings "Your going to be fed to all the birds in the Heavens!" I wish I had a answer that provided some solace to each and everyone one of you but I don't, I can't lie to myself and disrespect you because life is pretty dam confusing my friends!
There is nothing like watching all the people who were close to you get eaten by cancer over a two year period, I prayed only to hear nothing back, same as other friends here who prayed when their loved ones died of some terrible death, lost a child or experienced the shameful evil that's totally preventable by mankind and the other evil God could stop (Great Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Katrina, ect..) I feel your pain because death hit my family when I was eight. I too watched while Cancer turned big strong people in to corpse of their former self, one family member was so happy I had figured out this was a Cult and all the pain he suffered from brain cancer backed off as I read him scriptures and prayed with him because my JW Family told him he was not going to receive a Resurrection. I wrote to one of the JW Apologist asking for help, he was too busy because his life was in total turmoil, everyone suffers dear friends! That's when I made it my goal to one day play Poker in Las Vegas by starting hitting little tournaments around my area. I will play in Vegas with the Pros, have my crazy brother from the after-life laughing at me trying to handle the pros!
The author has a right to be morally outraged, thank you for a nice perspective, I thought he was more respectful than many writers on this topic!

12 signs you are a modern day Pharisee
by Zoos ini was reading through this list and was struck by how accurately it describes the watchtower royalty class.
not exactly a professional doing the writing but i think he captures it pretty well.. http://frankpowell.me/12-signs-you-are-modern-day-pharisee.

Good stuff, problem is Pharisees only see the straw in their sisters eyes and miss the plank sticking out of theirs. Their spiritual surgeons working in total blindness, imagine a heart surgeon trying to operate on you with a plank sticking out of his eyes, now you have the Pharisee and his Spiritual Surgical Center! -

Kaik many of even the most faithful are begining to contradict the circuit-overseers behind their back because they don't believe the "End is just around the corner". I was talking with a few Witnesses who are in the late Sixties, they were saying they could never retire because they don't have enough money and did not put enough money in the Social Security program here because they did lots of work under-the-table by evading taxes.
They complain how this System does not have the generous benefits for those on the Public Dole like Denmark and Sweden do, the government housing, the government food allowance for the poor and the $30,000 poverty checks some of the Nordic Countries have for people who did not have any savings. The Watchtower could smuggle all the JWs in to those countries and hold out until the End comes, sounds like a good deal!
Ray Franz Jr. and his story about the Asian woman who refused to have her leg fixed because "1975 would usher in God's Kingdom" should have woken up more people than it did. These liars always say "Its so good God did not bring the End back than because many of you would not be alive, he would have zapped you all!" I tire of their lies and how many lives they ruin by making smart people work jobs best suited for people with no brain power, just a thought.

Nothing Says, "I Love You!" Like Institutionalized Shunning!

In my family's case, we have a saying that's been tried and tested over the last ten years! I think you have this wrong, Shunning has become so common members inside the Organization "It's not just for Disfellowshiped Members Anymore!". Regular Publishers can't see the "spiritual warts" on the tips of their noses, that's for all the Holy Witnesses to see! Jehovah's Witnesses and the Governing Body Members are so shallow, just listen to all the recent talks about who is worthy to marry and who is not!
"It's not what's on the inside God see's, it's what we observe on the outside that make's the Witness a certified member of their little group." Listening to JW Broadcast and JW TV were told about all the great works JWs are doing the Elders see, that's how they make their debuts in the Kingdom Theatrical Arena. The JWs who shun each other in "good standing" judge everyone with a different scale they dare not judge themselves with because they would be found greatly lacking! Compare what the Bible say's to comments Tony Morris made about finding a good mate!
6When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, “Surely this is the LORD’s anointed!”
7But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Sam 16:7
It's obvious why the Watchtower hates Bible Commentaries, they show their entire system of judging what humans are on the outside contradicts everything God sees in people. The Watchtower has no problem shunning people who are in good standing, they stacks heavy weights of guilt, making their rules unbearable yokes to carry. The leaders and Elders don't lift a finger to help spiritually weak and broken reeds, their only concern is forcing people to live a life their unable to! They do "bind up old men with weighty rules and regulations yet don't lift a finger to help them through!"
"...practical bearing upon all the mighty relations which each man sustains to his Maker.
I. Let us try to analyse the statement on the negative side, to begin with. The Lord does not look upon the outward appearance in fixing His judgment of any human soul. It so happens that this very narrative actually specifies many of those particulars which men are wont to regard as highest in value.
1. For example, the Lord does not look upon one’s social rank. The family of Jesse had no conspicuousness or remarkableness, as the world reckons. Moreover, David was the one that made it royal, and when he was chosen he was by no means the head of it. Good Lady Huntingdon used to say she thanked God for the letter M, for he did not tell Paul to say “not any,” but “not many.” Now it is certainly true that the best part of the world’s highest worth has risen from what would by some be called its lowest sources. It is usual to sneer at the plebian birth of Oliver Cromwell as well as that of Napoleon Bonaparte; but this had nothing to do with any vices they displayed or any virtues they possessed. These men were kings of other men by reason of a manhood which Charles the First; never got from the contemptible Stuarts, nor Louis the Sixteenth from the more contemptible Bourbons. The pride of rank is prone to run into an extreme of superciliousness, of self-seeking, and of oppression. Cornelius Agrippa actually institutes an argument to prove that there was never a nobility which had not wicked beginning.
2. Furthermore, the Lord does not look upon one’s family history. The lineage of Jesse, Obed, and Ruth was quite humble in its origin. David’s mother is not even mentioned by name in the Scriptures. It is pitifully mean and conceited for anyone to set himself up as meritorious because his family once had a hero among its members.
3. Again, the Lord does not; look upon one’s fortune. If anyone supposes that the wealth of the “rich kinsman” Boaz had come down by inheritance into this family estate, we are surely without hint that the property had anything to do with the lot of the shepherd boy David..."
