  Westboro Church Update on BBC

  by cofty in

  2. entertainment

  right now there is a documentary on the bbc about louis theroux' second visit to the infamous phelps family.

  it's a follow up to a similar documentary four years ago.. a considerable number of members have left in the last few years while the cult has become even more extreme.

  louis has just interviewed young woman who has got out and started nursing.

  What can you say to that?

  I watched the first one with my wife. I got the feeling that she was most uncomfortable watching it.

  There is a good reason for that - they are strikingly like JW's, albeit more militant.

  The JW funeral talk outline - poor taste or REALLY poor taste?

  by Mr. Falcon in

  so i attended a funeral for a jw who passed away (non-"annointed) and i would have to state that although i have heard the standard funeral talk outline for dozens of funerals i've attended, i never really took the time to listen.

  and my god, i was cringing.

  the outline is essentially broken down like this:.

  I have been to some awful ones & some really awful ones.

  In all my time, I attended one JW funeral which spoke about the person for a prolonged period of time.

  well this past weekend was pretty much as predicted, the demonstrations were probably the worst i have ever seen.

  you know the ones i mentioned on a post last week where in the middle the participant has a sudden epiphany!

  here is a sampling of just a few.. .

  The PR about JW families being all loved up & happy is quite a laugh to me. I knew families where fights among elders/elders sons are common place.

  JW's - The happiest people on earth?.................

  Assemblies were shit. Made me miss watching my beloved football club & generally ruined my weekend.

  Oh, and PS - watching all the ass kissing of the Edinburgh elders & jokeying for position? Do me a ****ing favour.

  See how Jehovah is blessing us with increase (in material things)

  by jambon1 in

  this always really, really pissed me off when i was a jw.. they actually had the audacity to claim that the god who created the universe was somehow involved in the increase of 'kingdom interests' - property in flourishing lands.. now, as i see it, the world has really suffered since the wts started out in it's seedy americanisation of what religion should be:.

  wwiwwiithe untold suffering of the holocausteuropean civil warsthe list goes on.............yet, i was told that jehovah god was furthering & advancing the watchtower bible & tract societys 'talents.'.

  this generally involved the building/expansion of wts property.. so, let me get this straight; god was getting all excited about his people expanding the property/printing presses of a corporate organisation, while turning a blind eye to the holocaust, paedophilia, warfare, tsunamis/earthquakes.. not the god i would want to worship personally.. yet it shows just how much the jw's have their heads firmly implanted right up their own arses.. do me a favour.. if god exsisted or was interested in humanity, there are bigger matters for him to deal with than the expansion of the wts.. .

  Pioneering in the springtime, during the memorial season

  Making the month of April a 'banner month'

  Elders judging one another as to who is doing more 'extra time'

  Publishers ran ragged between full time employment & ten hour ministry days on the weekend (and acting like they are so happy to do it)

  I dedicate this song to all of Jehovah's Witnesses who know that the religion is cruel & unloving

  by jambon1 in

  i realise that you are between a rock & a hard place.

  but i strongly urge you to take stock of your situation & leave the watchtower religion behind if you really do disagree with it's policies.. you see, i and many others have been in that place.

  attending meetings, preparing talks & going out in field service while knowing all the time that the religion wasn't right.. the watchtower religion fulfills prophecy when you see how jehovah's witnesses show 'no natural affection' in the following circumstances:.

  The Watchtower religion fulfills prophecy when you see how Jehovah's Witnesses show 'no natural affection' in the following circumstances:

  • Shunning parents/children/lifelong friends because someone leaves or disagrees with the religion
  • Hundreds of individuals commit suicide because of being shunned by their friends/relatives
  • Allowing young mothers to die because of the extreemly flawed & unscriptural blood doctrine

  I dedicate this song to you.

  The lyrics which follow are extreemly poignant:

  "And if there ever comes a time, guns & gates no longer hold you in, and if you're free to make a choice"................
