  Brother, Sister

  by B_Deserter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the witnesses refer to each other as "brother" or "sister.

  " this is supposedly because they are a "spiritual family" and this is supposed to encourage that feeling.. but how often did you refer to your biological brothers and sisters by their title?

  when i was playing in the yard with my little brother i wasn't yelling "catch the ball, brother _______!

  It's biblical.

  IMO it is extreemly cringey though.

  If I had a brother that treated me the way some of them did, I would be asking where my parent(s) had gone wrong.

  Were you told to avoid telling HH's that they would be killed unless they listened?

  one of the many things as a child growing up as a jw that i never understood was this: a elderette told me her husband would be going to see the non jw freind of one of their sons.

  it seems that the freind had directly challenged the jw son and asked " are you telling me that if i don't become a jw that god will kill me?".

  the son hadn't known what to say to this, bearing in mind of course that the jw belief is "yes you will die at armargeddon if you don't become a jw".

  HD - I know. They don't dare venture into the distasteful parts of the message. Telling people that god will kill them is extreemly offensive.

  As I said, they know it.

  JW PEDOPHILE SENTENCED TO 40 YEARS

  by Mary in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  another sick jw is finally brought to justice (no thanks to god's chosen ones) after raping and molesting children for four frigging decades.

  as per the article below, obviously one of his victims told the elders that they had been molested and obviously the elders did nothing about it.

  'sorry, but did you have another eye witness to brother cockerill raping you?

  If god's spirit can take action to inspire someone to post an envelope through some f-wit pioneers door because his car is broken then why can the same spirit not take action to save all the victims of abuse in his organisation?

  Jehovah's Witnesses have the most disturbing, distasteful & repulsive set of beliefs on the planet.

  We know it. They know it. Why would they want to get into the nitty gritty of it?

  Most Livable Cities in the World - is Yours on the List?

  by sammielee24 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in case the olympics weren't drawing enough attention to city of vancouver, this year's economist intelligence unit's list of the world's most livable cities has declared the canadian city the number one urban area in which to settle down.. if you are surprised, well, you shouldn't be, due to the fact that vancouver is a consistent high achiever in these polls.

  what is it about the city that makes it so great?

  according to the economist's gulliver blog, canada and australia do exceptionally well in the eiu rankings due to their perfect scores for health care and education.. some of the other rankings might be more surprising, however - for example, what does one make of the fact that detroit (40th) beats both london (54th) and new york (56th)?.

  It made sense to me to get them after easter and save money. After all, you can buy chocolate any time.

  From am uber-JW point of view it always amazed me how many people would BRAG about getting them piled in after easter.

  I mean, doesn't it say 'quit TOUCHING the unclean thing'.

  Hypocritical barstards.

  The effect of this religion on my children & the action I had to take - Part I

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been meaning to tell this story for some time now.

  i feel that i would like to share it so that it may serve as a warning to anyone who thinks that the jw religion does not have a negative effect on children.. i have been out of the religion for 4 years now.

  i wasn't brought up in the organisation.

  Thanks for the input.

  It may be a couple of days before I get to write part II as I am extreemly busy this week & it seems to take me nearly an hour to put it together in a way that makes sense. Please bear with me. I will post it on a seperate thread.

  Regards,
