  Freudian Slip ?

  by ChuckD in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  look at this well-reasoned comment from a jw apologist on the bbc's website;.

  i personally condone such evil acts involving any form of immorality.

  to even suggest that jehovah's witnesses would cover up such behaviour as child molestation should be treated as slander.

Ultimately of course, it brings reproach on the name of God himself. If such people were to be found they would be cut off from the Christian organisation and handed over to the authorities. Obviously your informants are former Jehovah's Witnesses, who for some perverted reason want to get their own back. Jehovah is a God of truth and he will ensure that the truth is told.

  2. physical

  martial arts is the one thing the elders and i verbally sparred over for about 5 years.

  it wasn't until i got df'd that i was able to attend an "official" class.

  i had trained vicariously for about 4 years with a friend of mine who was a student of isshinryu karate.

  can everyone tell me the names that the wtbts calls people by?

  and particularly anything that is meant to de-scribe others as condemned, such as spiritual fornicators and birdseed.

  One word is used far more often than any other negative adjective;

  Worldly

  It is used to categorize EVERYONE outside the organization, and often to describe those inside the organization who are not quite up to the expected standards of behavior. If you are not "In the Truth" you are "worldly". It is very black-and-white.

  What Are Your Beliefs?

  by MoeJoJoJo in

  i am very curious in what everyone believes as far as religious beliefs.. since leaving the org, i feel i am still in a limbo state, i'm not quite sure of what i believe yet.

  i believed a lie most of my life which i'm sure most of you can relate with, so its not so easy for me to jump right into something else.. i do feel there is a superior being who created us all.

  i am still trying to sort things out.. so if you care to share, are you atheist, pagan, christian, etc.?

  by spaz in

  2. friends

  is anyone taking bets that a wholesale collapse of stock, futures and monetary markets might occur circa september 21-22 and that a middle east war expansion will see the us invading iraq, a palestinian refugee crisis and israel in southern iraq?

  world war iii?.

  on a bright note, wts munitions shares should soar, so there should be ample resources to satisfy litigation judgements.. spaz

  You Know usually schedules the End O' the World for sometime in October. The kids are back in school by then, and everyone at the office is back from vacation so it is easier on everyone concerned.

  I seem to remember him by the name "Any Intelligent Person Knows..." which gets the message across; "agree or admit you are too dumb to know better"

  well, some here think that all we do is sit around a post naughty pics and do no charitable or volunteer work.

  i thought we could see who does what for their respective communities.

  valis= free computer support dallas shakespeare festival + on the wing again bird sanctuary/rescue, photopgraphic web hosting services for the bob marley festival of dallas, am about to start w/the down's syndrome guild of dallas doing web support and event work/soliciting charitable donations from companies, and my teaching that means working many hours unpaid to help my students personally/educationally.

  It is not reasonable to assume that time devoted to posting here is time that even COULD be spent elsewhere. For many people (including myself), the computer is on for most of the day checking it from time to time to get email and the like is as much a part of the day as any other task. There is no steady period when I am on here, and even if I were to post several times throughout the day it does not necessarally mean that it is more than a passing activity among many other tasks. If I were to stop using the computer in the course of my day, I would not suddenly find myself with an available block of time.
