What sort of forum member are you?

by greendawn in

jw
friends

what kind of a forum member do you consider yourself to be?

are you trying to be dedicated, helpful to others, humourous, expressive, intellectual, or something else?

just2sheep

reactive, impatient, and, even when i don't try to be, i am combative. or maybe nobody has noticed, in which case i am the member all others hope to be.

the other sheep is the strong, absolutely silent type...together we are one

i've got the conversation my 'laywer' jason had with the head of my appeal hearing ghram, he refues to answer any questions about the recorder being tampered with, but denies that anyone named 'sean' was at the meeting, then later he talks about talking to 'sean' at the meeting!.

this guy is so desprate to cover his own ass.

btw, i will testify that the bag was closed when i was in the room before i left and that it was open after i got back.

sickoflies,

because i have such a slow modem i haven't been able to listen to your tapes (no patience), but i've been reading your updates and applaude your willingness to defend yourself.

in light of all the talk this week on jwd about spies and wt monitors, etc. are you perhaps revealing too much of your plans? i know they are dumb, but if they are here monitoring your posts are they dumb enough to not understand what your plans are? if you keep this up you could join danny haszard in the "man of action" class.

no apologies,

sof can correct me if i'm wrong...the point is exposure!!! exposure of these men acting in such an ungodly way, in the name of god, is what will slay this pharissitic(sp?) beast. if i were an illmannered, arrogant idiot i would fear exposure. wouldn't you?

How Were You Treated By The Elders?

by minimus in

generally, were you treated with respect, kindness and empathy or did the elders treat you badly?

?

the only good elder is an ex elder. the boe is only as good as the lowest common denominator.

no apology necessary. it did appear, although not intended, to be that way. although i wish i could have sounded less critical i did want someone to notice the tone of some of the posts here. it really is counter productive. as far as your beef with iw or anyonelse on this forum...as you pointed out, and as i pointed out, some of us know each other, and have for many years. and some of us don't "know" anybody. i'm not trying to interject myself into anybody's personal feud and if i do i am sorry. i'm not going to follow up after this post because it really has gotten way off topic and if you read some of my posts i really hate topic hijacking. my apologies to shunned father for my part of this one.

quotes,

you said " at any rate, i would agree with your concern if this was an "unknown" walking in off the street asking for money. however, lawrence's reputation and veracity are well established-- his low jwd post counter notwithstanding."

first of all, it wasn't the number of posts but the content...if you have a relative, and the only time that relative contacts you is when they need money; then naturally you might have a few questions for them. and if you ask these questions and instead of getting an answer, your relative's friends attack you verbally because you asked these questions; then guess what, that looks suspicious.

as far as shunned father being an "unknown"...that is exactly what he is to me and many others here. we are all "unknown". as jgnaut and hubert pointed out you can't believe what is written. and that is all any of us here are---words on a page. i do know something about you through your website(one of the first and one of the more benificial sites i ran across) and i almost cried with joy when i realized the tactical mistake the wtb&ts had made in attacking you through the courts, but i don't know you. and you don't know me. i don't think you would be assured of anything just because i told you it was ok. i have never asked anyone to not give their money to lawrence hughes, just like i don't ask them to not give their money to the wtb&ts...it is each individual's choice. one of the first things we did when we began to see the light was to quit giving the org money. and i realize that they would be mighty unhappy if they knew, but they don't.

i realize this man is your friend and that you wish to support him, but don't let your pleas for help turn into demands for assistance. j2s

as for those who freak out and start name calling and accusing and threatening everytime your own little borg is questioned i just don't understand...you didn't escape, you just changed prisons.

Do you still refer to God as Jehovah?

by nomoreTRUTHplz in

i am curious if anyone still calls their god jehovah.

when i think of jehovah all i can think of is what they taught me.

it was true at first i felt a much more personal and stronger relationship with god when giving him a name, however certain things they taught forced me to see him as a cold and unloving god.

just2sheep

i realize this is a cultural thang, but i called my parents by their first name and my child called me by my first name. i think anything spoken respectfully is acceptable. i don't think god cares how you pronounce his name...he doesn't expect us to be able to speak a dead language, he expects us to be respectful...respectful of him, respectful of his son, and respectful of each other.

To Snitch or Not To Snitch and HOW?

by Inquisitor in

jw
friends

i was happily day-dreaming the other day.

and somehow i thought of the witnesses i've personally known who've gone to china to spread watchtower propaganda.

and then this absolutely malevolent thought struck me.

just2sheep

inquisitor,

the answer to your question is not snitch. actually the answer is that it is up to you, but from these posts it appears that you would not have much support here. and as you say, PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, it isn't because of them we advise you not to; it is because of our concern for you...a snitch is not a desirable title to strive for.

hubert,

you said,"don't believe everything you read in the newspapers". you meant this as a joke right? you mean we are to ignore all of danny's news updates? or did you mean, don't believe everything you read in the newspapers that doesn't put the wtb&ts in a bad light?

iw,

having presented your arguments and found the futility of trying to convince the jwd elders, all those appointed to spread the good news of being an x, that not everyone who is against the society is for us, you can move on with a clear conscience. i have gone through lawrence hughes posts and i am hard pressed to find anything he has ever posted that wasn't a request for funds, make of that what you will...

to the "they don't agree with me, they must be wt spies" mob,

if i dissagree with you does that make me an apostate apostate? most people on this forum are used to dealing with wild, unsubstatuated accusations as answers to questions...we don't like it from the wtb&ts and we don't like it from you. if the only answer you have to a question is "you are watchtower scum of the earth", then you don't have an answer. and truthfully doesn't that sound more like org think than anything iw has posted?
