This is a sad story and I hope the child is okay. But .... the irony cannot escape me. When I was a kid, we had a family friend, and when we encountered someone she considered especially worthy of Jehovah's destruction, she would say, "I don't want to be standing beside him when Jehovah strikes him down! It's not that I'm afraid Jehovah will miss, I'm afraid of splatter." I thought it was funny at the time. Now I just shake my head.
I wonder how many JWs have fantasies about Jehovah striking people down at Armageddon?

Most Damning Publication?
by Wild_Thing inof all of the watchtower's many publications dating now to all the way back to russell, which one publication is the most damning in showing they are a complete crachpot of a religion?
and i course, i mean which original publication before they changed a few words and reprinted!.
personally, i think it is probably russell's the divine plan of the ages.

I have thought about spending loads of money on antiquitated Watchtower books and giving them as a gift to my mom. But in my heart, I know that (a) it wouldn't make a difference, and (b) she would be too scared to look at them just because I was the one who gave them to her.

Personally, I think it is probably Russell's The Divine Plan of the Ages. I don't think most JWs realize how pyramidism influenced Russell's doctrines, some of which the JWs kept and just changed the reason!
Thoughts?

JWs and the idea of a cult
by dabster inas i've been chatting with a jw neighbour he has said, "heck, some people think we are a cult!
" and scoffs at very idea.
how ludicrous (he thinks)!

There are many, many definitions of the word, "cult". I think that is the biggest problem. Jehovah's Witnesses fit some of those definitions, but not all of them. I definitely think they fit into the category of "high control group". That is not debatable.

I met him in person once. He was such a nice man. He played a huge role in helping me move on. It makes me regret not keeping in contact with him all these years. He definitely left his footprint on this earth and helped a lot of people. RIP Tim.

Just wondering ....
by talesin inthere are many new posters here, and i'm very interested to learn why you chose your screen names.. .
one book i read, the mists of avalon, was very important to me.
among the main characters was merlin, who in the book, was called "taliesen".

Well ... many years ago when I was still a witness, I created the username "Iwannaleave", but then I left. I'm sure you can see the dilemma! So ... I chose a new name! I love the children's book "Where the Wild Things Are" and at the time, I felt like a Wild Thing, and I felt like the rest of you were too!
