Tsarnaev guilty - should he get death or not?

by Simon in

i think he probably will (it is the us after all) but i hope he doesn't.

he caused incredible pain and suffering to men, women and children who had never done anything to him.

many died in unimaginable agony, others are disabled for life.

Let him go to prison, they will kill him in there eventually but before that they can make him suffer some.

Recycled WTS beliefs

by Simon in

we all know the wts abandons and invents beliefs faster than apple can churn out new shiny stuff.

but have they ever abandoned a belief and later picked it up again?.

i remember many years ago we had one of those post-district-assembly review parts (part of the service meeting) where they were discussing some "new light".. there was some confusion about which was the "new" and which was the "old" and a semi-discussion ensued with people commenting.

"We used to believe that now we believe the truth... oh wait, now it's something else? OK now we know the truth... no? Not yet? It changed again? OK what's the truth now? OK. I'll go around judging, shunning and criticizing people over "truth" that is likely to change"

A Subtle Factor That Keeps Witnesses Silenced

by freemindfade in

had an interesting thought this morning.

when a witness is 'in' they think everyone else is following and trying there best all in unity.

i believe the reality is there are a lot of us 'in' who know different.

My first memorial in my new hall there were easily twice as many people there as usual, most the extra were not invitees, rather people everyone seemed to know. And even at that I heard the comment a few times they much less than last year.

Watch the Board of Directors put more and more emphasis on getting these pour people who are tired from this system back to meetings... that is going to become the driving force of the articles and parts I believe. Like pornography over the past few years lol.

I also love how witnesses will think its some kind of miracle of "food a the proper time". It's not a miracle if the Board of Directors looks at whats going on and says "oh crap" lets address this before people get wise. Not food at the proper time, not a miracle.

Thanks, I feel like if you could have witnesses put on glasses and they could look around and SEE all in the hall who are atheists, or who think this religion is a dangerous cult... it might open their eyes to some degree. But as long as they all believe the version that we are all just "tired from this system" its not as powerful

Yep! we have to remember some places are now going through their own version of the dark ages. I know from living (and when I was in having to go out in service in) an ever increasingly muslim territory.
A fact that I was enlightened to is that most Muslims never read the Koran, it is a heavily oral religion conveyed to them through and Emam. And when you get certain places around the world, it is even more so because the people are illiterate.
I remember speaking to a muslim woman at the door, she was telling me all these crazy things, she was telling me "when you see a shooting star, its not a star, it's an angel falling from heaven"... wow... dark ages indeed.

I totally agree!

They are behind a vail thinking everyone not df'd still believes. Thats a powerful force. If they said you are free to leave, the halls would be quite empty.

I believe the reality is there are a lot of us 'in' who know different. And it's a big help in escaping the F.O.G. But when you don't know there are people pretending, or going through motions or, fading/faded, who would DA in heartbeat if the consequences were removed, you just feel like an outsider.

Crossing that bridge and finding out there is such a large number of mentally out ones who for their own reasons have to stay physically 'in' really is an eye opener and a luxury we can enjoy on this side. On the other-side, not knowing, you think people are either all in our all out. That makes you feel anxiety, like there are millions of believers and there is something wrong with you.

This may be the JW religions best kept darkest secret. This is why they are talking more than ever about "faders" even though they don't call them that. In video, in literature. They are shown as people who just are weak spiritually and feel like giving up as portrayed by the WTBTS. The truth is they hate the religion and don't believe any but are not free to leave. So by producing this image they are protecting the mind control and cult unity. If witness knew that a third or more of the publisher in their hall and all the halls in the developed world were only going to not lose their family they would $hit their pants. But guess who does know... headquarters... they know.
