It is a catch 22 with you people. If I leave, I am brainwashed. If I stay, I am disobedient. Trying to please you people in this place is like trying to please a fickel woman.

I apply Colossians 2:4 across the board.

People like the wizard of oz are funny. They decry trolls coming in this place and starting subjects just to argue and not debate issues. When a "troll" raises an issue, then they start saying, you should not be here. You WILL be DF for what you are doing. Blah, blah, blah. Instead of facing issues, these ditzy people who are driven by negative agendas hijack the thread and talk about something completely different than the topic. How nauseating! How abominable! The tactic is getting old.

???Do you have an answer for all of the horrible true experiences people have posted on here, mine included? Just men being naughty, could the WT POSSIBLY have somethig to do with it?
Could the WT haplessly empower bad men by giving them 'responsibility'????
Nobody has all the answers, ashi. No one but God. I can tell you this though. There are problems in the organization. Most everybody knows that. But I believe the WT teaches the truth overall. They are not perfect. But neither was Israel or the early Christians.
???Ahhh, Comforter, now we have it. You want to spend time here defending an organisation that has amongst its rules that you should not be doing it.???
Who said I am here to defend an organization? Maybe I am in this place to defend God. Maybe I just hate falsehood and want to see it put down in this place .
???You are aware, of course, that you would be DF for doing what you are doing, so why are you doing it? Are you counting the time????
How can you say that I WOULD be Df for being in this place? Now who da fool? What if I repent of my actions for being in this place? What if I just get a reproof? Then what, dude?
And I do not count time for this place.
???Man, you're a fool.???
One man's foolishness is another man's genius.

If you believe the Bible, God's day of wrath is coming. Isaiah 34:8
There is nothing you or I can do to stop it. It is coming, according to the Bible, and it will not tarry.

???You have me a little confused. On the one hand you say that this forum destroys spirituality, but on the other hand, you contribute toward it! A split personality, perhaps????
The answer is elementary. I do not contribute to this forum. I am trying to deconstruct it like you dissidents try to dismantle the WT.
???BTW the Borg acts in much the same way i.e. criticising ad infinitum while overlooking (obscuring) all the positive things that are done.???
What positive things?
???I'd suggest to you that you peruse the record of the past couple of years posts on this board. You will see that there is much that is positive. People have been helped and are still being helped. Some have receievd more understanding here than they felt at their local Kingdom Hall. All of this is FACT. Stick to the facts, please.???
I have perused this board for more than two years. That is why comforter is so disgusted with it. Satan is an angel of light. So you might do a little good here and there. But the net effect of your efforts in this place is zero. Satan has many ways to turn people away from Jehovah. This board is proof. I have seen the comfort you provide in this place. "Oh, don't worry little Jenny. It is ok to commit fornication or smoke cancer sticks. Those mean WT people have been so unfair to you. Come here and have a hug, you poor baby." Comfort, schomfort! I call what you guys do, the inappropriate enablement of perverse behavior.
???Now what does the expression "God be blessed and glorified forever and ever" have to do with the introduction to your post?.???
Must it have anything to do with the introduction of my post? Maybe I just felt like spontaneously praising God and letting you infidels know it.

???Well, Comforter, if it's bothersome for you, you could always leave. "Free Will", right?
And I won't complain if you leave right now. ???
I bet you would like for me to leave. The truth is that I don't spend much time in this place anymore. It is depressing and boring at the same time.
You peeps are funny. Anyone who calls you on your nonsense, you want to leave. Par for the course.

???You talk as though we're all atheist, and we certainly are not.???
I did not say all in this place are atheists. But you have your share in this place.
???Get your facts straight "comforter" before slagging off this forum. Just because you don't like what we say that does not mean that you can generally put us all down with your whiney negativity and pseudo warnings. Stop throwing your toys out the pram and shut the fuck up.???
Talk about being negative. At least I never used such fowl language with you. You must be one of the ungodly atheists in this place. Bug off!

???If there is a god, he can survive any attack by people here.
If a belief is true, it cannot be proven false.
JWs only have something to worry about if their religion isn't true, or if they're not intelligent or knowledgeable enough to distinguish truth from lies.???
You overlook many things, funky.
God can survive your blasphemous attacks. There is no doubt in my mind that he can and will. My earthly father can also survive any slanderous attacks on his character too. That does not mean I have to stick around and hear someone bash my father's character. Just as it is painful to hear someone besmirch your father's name, so it grives me to hear the ungoldly speak ungodly things against Jehovah.
Maybe a true belief cannot be proved false. But Colossians 2:4 warns Christians not to be duped by arguments that appear to be plausible.
Humans are also epistemically fallible. Humankind may think it is smart or intelligent. But earthlings can still be fooled since they are limited, sinful and weak. He that thinks he is standing, let him be careful lest he falls.

This forum proves that the organization is telling the truth. The people that frequent this place concentrate on negativity and tearing down. The only support that they offer is the enablement of anger and hate. That is it.
It has been said that one staring in the abyss too long will eventually become like the abyss. That is the thing that worries comforter about this place. Beware, all who enter here. Your spirituality and religiosity could become a thing of the past by frequenting this site. Not only are jws attacked in this place, but so is Christianity and God.
God be blessed and glorified forever and ever.
