How many people like this do you know personally
jeannibeanz,
Everyone I knew that was dfed or daed was for their own personal enjoyment. They wanted an excuse to do what they wanted. Here is where I have met people who left because of those distressing situations. Just not my own personal experience.

itsallgoodnow, I'll give you that there are many here who have suffered greatly but you have to give me there are also many who left the jw lifestyle so they could do whatever they wanted. Taking drugs, having orgies, sex with whomever and whenever and getting into criminal enterprises, gambling and for all this there are consequences. Your health, your life, diseases, your economic situation, self destruction towards oneself and others. So maybe we can reach common ground.
Even Raymond Franz recognized that the GB meant well. He has never said that the GB was a great conspiracy to destroy people. PROVE ME WRONG. Find any one quote by Ray where he states that the GB, the wt desires was to destroy people's lives. You'll never find it. He has stated over and over again its man made errors which led to this whole mess. They have always meant well by what they understood to be God's will. By what they understood what the bible meant.
Yes, Sith the plane leaves tomorrow morning. Thanx for caring

Sith, for one who said this was the last time you swore you would come to this thread you sure have done alot of flip flopping. I guess I aint the only one who changes his mind.

Hi DY, getting ready to go. Where they happy about that? What was the reason for that behavior?
I just read a thread of a couple them describing their drugged out stages, with pictures and all.
Like you said that's what its all about. Sometimes having an authority figure is good, I guess, if this is the end result. I once posed a question at carm.org whether they would prefer that a person be a jw or a drug using serial rapist. The responses were unanimous for the rapist. I wonder how would people respond here.

Well thanx for your time. I have truly learned alot from all the posts. It has been truly an eye opening exchange to say the least. I am leaving on a trip to Asia and wont be back for 2 months. When I do return hopefully I can pick it up where we left off. My deepest apologies to those I hurt once again. Take care to all and goodbye for now.

If you really want to stay,feel for us for what so many have had to endure and stop showing us the cultish love you have for the wt.
I put the disclaimer in. I said "with the exception of the most distressing cases here", kls. I put that in to make a divide between the true horrible pain and those not .

If you read my post from the other day,I realize it could have been worse,I fully admit that.But this is a FREE country.I condemn all suicide bombers.
Nice of you, stopthepain, to realize this. You were going off the deep end here a little.

I guess some of the posters proved you right. Some people need a punch bag to take their anger out on - so you have provided a service. For a Newbie you have certainly got some attention, so you must be doing something right!
Yes I have, haven't I. With the exception of the most distressing cases (disclaimer here for those horrible cases- death, molestation, physical abuse) I truly don't understand much of the anger here. It seems that by nature many here are of an angry lot. Prone to fits of explosive behavior when the car keys are missing or the kool aid is not sweet enough. Tsk, tsk. Have you seen some of the things they have said to me? LOL and nobody has apologized. I did. You truly get to know someone once they are out of their safety zone.

If you truly think that cutting families to pieces to ensure the uniformity of a man made organization, inflicting those who believe that it is God's organization with deep seated guilt that drives some to suicide or divorce or murder, by malicious judicial action against people in the form of Disfellowshipping is a 'great thing', then you need to buckle down and make elder first class,
Don't be silly. Nobody wants families hacked to pieces. Its a tug of war for most. The truth or their families. With the exception of the most distressing cases here many could have opted to endure the lies of the WT in order to stay with their families. Yet many of you opted to leave the org and thus your families. So in truth your hatred of the org is greater than your love of your family. You would rather leave the org and never have your family because of doctrinal jibber jabber than be with your loved ones. In truth how much do you love your family? Enquiring minds want to know. I know you'll lash back at me with sundry responses but deep down inside you know its true.
but he will feel the effects of it some day either on himself or his family members or his friends.
Hey thanx for wishing me well. While your at it how about wishing me cancer, a paralyzing accident on me or death by a firing squad. How about taking a sledge hammer and bashing my brains out. LOL. Ahhh the wonderful love for your fellow man one experiences when one leaves the org. Please don't convince me anymore, your doing a wonderful job at it.
In all my posts I have not wished anyone here personal bodily harm nor have I cursed at anyone. I have been libeled against, besmirched, cursed at, and wished bodily harm upon myself and family members, even death, yes even my own death. This is the way you guys propose helping others. You are more lost now than you ever were while in the org. But I take it all in jest. Leaving the org hasn't changed fundamentally who you are.
Ever heard of Krishnamurti, great Indian philosopher, he said while you pet the animal it responds nicely but if not it reacts aggressively and violently. Some here have demonstrated this same behavio.
