Non violent free speech should be the right of everyone on the planet. If you feel that a member is constantly posting things of no interest to you or that you find offensive, you can just skip over their topics or postings. By being on this forum, perhaps over time, Cold Steel may come to realize the 'cultish' similarities between Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormonism and thereby give up the fairy tale religion he or she is now involved in.

Why does this forum tolerate Cold steele and his mormonism beliefs ? Who`s next ?
by smiddy ini thought this forum was for people who were ex jw`s and pro jw`s and the like to debate ,discuss and reasonably talk about our differences ,and sometimes drift off into politics world events and whatever.. however over a period of time i have come across cold steel `s many posts which are nothing more than promoting his mormon religions point of view./beliefs what has that got to do with jehovahs witnesses and the concerns many have with the jw religion.?.
it seems to me he is using this forum to promote his religion and is getting away with it over a long period of time.. how long before other cult religions see this as a springboard for promoting their own religion such as .
sda`s ,christian scientists , christadelphians ,beroean bible students ,etc.etc.. where will it end if he is able to keep doing this ?.

"Fuck off" - Cofty
I second that. FUCK OFF, Rainbow_Troll.
My oldest sister had brain cancer, and radiation and chemotherapy helped save her life. I am sure that you think you are funny and sometimes you are. And sometimes you are just an asshole! This time your comments are not funny.

Yes, this is very exciting. I counted 10 new members joining in just the last 2 days.
Keep up the good work, boys! At this rate, you will drive more people out from the religion faster than you can drag new ones in!!

“Winning the Battle for Your Mind”
by SAHS in“winning the battle for your mind.” that is the title of an article in the latest watchtower magazine, of july 2017, pages 27-30. wow, how ironic!
here is the direct link:.

I find it rather odd that the Governing Body (tm) would allow the writing department to quote Noam Chomsky. Noam Chomsky is a very intelligent man, a believer in freedom of thought and a highly rational humanist.
Many old timers here will recognize this article as a rehash of the December 15, 1969 Watchtower article: The Battle For Men's Minds. A rehash of information from almost 50 years ago is now 'food at the proper time.' It's the same thing over and over again with this religion: Everything old is new again!

Why is it that in every fu@king Watchtower video, the Witnesses are portrayed as victims? Always sighing, talking low, furrowing their brows and holding their heads down when encountering the normal issues of everyday life. Then out of nowhere, Jehovah's magic saves them and they become happy and ebullient once again, rejoicing in being one of Jehovah's chosen people.

"I was like a JW 'golden boy' so to speak". - eyeuse2badub
I don't know about now, but Jehovah's Witnesses used to LOVE their Golden Boys! Having been one myself I am well aware of the allure. I am reminded of 2 songs. One by Natalie Merchant and one by Freddie Mercury:
"Top of the fold Toast of the town Everyone stops when you come around They hold their breath for you
Heroes are born Idols are made We're all fools for this factory fame And you've got the brand new face." - Golden Boy by Natalie Merchant
"Yes he told the truth, yes he told the truth Accepting every honour with a masterly display Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way He started to believe that he was all they said and more.........." The Golden Boy by Freddie Mercury
Those in charge of this religion knew how to recruit new 'commissioned officers' to perpetuate the club.

Told My Parents Yesterday That I Don't Want to Be a JW
by Saethydd ini wasn't entirely sure what to expect when i made the decision to tell my parents how i really feel, but i was prepared for the worst, fortunately, it didn't come to that.
after i told them i didn't want to go to the meetings anymore it led to a long talk with them.
they made a number of irksome and woefully uninformed statements but at least they were not aggressive and have said that they won't force me to move out over this, though, i can tell they are hoping they can convince me to "accept the truth," as long as i still live with them.

Congratulations ..............you have shown great courage at such a young age. May your life be filled with success and much happiness.
My advice is to ignore shadow's comment. Rather, you look and search for the meaning of your life. To quote Viktor Frankl:
"For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment." (No mention of God or religion. And Viktor Frankl was a pious Jew.)
