hi guys,.
sorry to burden you all with this but i really have no one that i want to talk about this with, i'm afraid that i will burst into tears and wont be able to stop if i call any of my friends and tell them what's going on.
my little sister has been ill with a fever for three weeks, her doctor kept telling her it was just a bad case of the flu and that she had an ear infection, he gave her antibiotics and sent her home.

there are so many new posters here now, i think this topic should be revisited.
i believe the most ridiculous belief that witnesses have is a "slave class" made up of 144,000 give spiritual "food at the proper time".
why can't jws see thru this??
Maybe this is exactly what it purports to be-an illustration of how a person can be honorable or dishonorable towards others! Maybe it is just what it is! The 'story' in and of itself is valuable, whether or not there is some symbolic meaning to it. Take it for what it is saying and you will be a better person.
i was doing a search for the ranking on a web server and while i was there i though about comparing the jwd page view to the watchtower.org page view.. quite interesting.
edited to take out the link, it didn't work.
i'll post a screen shot instead..
I like that that new tract (which Scotsman thinks is very well received) is sending more people to JWD than it is to the WT site:) Best part is-they won't be fooled by the manipulation of the WT organization.
the thread on how long it took you to get out of the organisation made me think.
i honestly think anyone that spends more than half an hour per day on anti-jw sites like this is, psychologically, not out of the organisation at all, despite their best protests.
the watchtower clearly still fascinates them to the point of an obsessive, compulsive need to frequently post on this website and others.
Maybe we ARE all nuts-but that begs the question-does the WT attract nuts or create them? Hmmm.
it is interesting to read the posts here.
people desperately trying to convince themselves that they were right to give up!.
is this your purpose in coming here????.
Oh, what is YOUR purpose here?

Simply address things that ARE real issues, the latest tract is just so much nonsense. Same tract, different campaign. NGO-fine, ignore it if it doesn't matter to you. Ignore the child abuse. It isn't anything that can be proven to you. What does matter? Does the WT integrity currently and in the past have any standing regarding the validity of the religion? Does the past only matter regarding other religion (check out your latest tract-I am sure history has some place in IT-only not yours, but the churches of 'christendom'.

The WT organization/magazine has totally misrepresented (for example) the blood issue. Now, this is a life or death issue literally, and an issue that is important enough to the JWs/org. that it can have a person removed from all association if they go against the WT teachings on the subject. Now, you know that biblically, there is no validation to the teaching(as it is now or as it was in the past)pertaining to Christians. Address that alone-it is enough manipulation alone to send me from the organization.
What lies do you see here about the teachings? Do you really think that former JWs cannot see beyond certain folks' hype to get to the reality of what the WT does that is wrong, while proclaiming that all OTHER religions are false while only they are true? Come on, you are simply being dishonest with yourself and with us.
this man molested at least 50 kids, many of them jw's in the early to mid 80's some in alaska in the early 90's.
please pm me if you have any info.
Bttt just keeps the thread going-to make sure it is in the active topics and seen.
in honor of their wedding, newlyweds aviva presser and erez lieberman wanted to do something different.
the two harvard and mit phd students were thinking beyond their big day.
they wanted to spread their joy around.
Thank you! I love the bears without borders site. Can donate a little or a lot. Can't wait for my first paycheck. My son's college fund will be slightly shorted. . .oh well! He is still going. I think that is a wonderful way to start a marriage. Good for them.
