  Mixed thoughts re: Silentlambs group

  by Pathofthorns in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a person has to be a bit nieve to think that if the wt suddenly gave into all of the demands of silentlambs that silentlambs would somehow cease to exist and or let up their pressure on the society.. i think there is a broader agenda here, one that includes a measure of revenge against the wt and one that won't stop until they are out of business.

  no child is truely protected or safe when they are raised in a cult.

  a logical extention of silentlambs would be expanding their agenda to include the blood issue and children.. it is this obvious broader agenda the silentlambs group has that invites criticism from active witnesses.

  Criticism of the WTS and it's policies doesn't have to be bundled up into one concise package to be valid.

  The Watchtower organization has ruined many lives in so many different ways. For the evidence, one only needs to read the personal experiences posted here almost daily.

  Quite frankly, it is irrelevant to me what, if any, the underlying agenda is for any group wishing to call attention to the lies and inconsistencies of the organization. We will all be labeled "apostates" anyway.

  If the work of Silent Lambs creates a warning signal in the mind of just one person, who might be persuaded to join the Watchtower cult, then they have served a valuable purpose. If what each of us says in this forum, influences just one person not to ruin their lives by becoming a Watchtower slave then we will have done our good deed for the day.

  Thanks, but there is no apology needed here. We all have bad days and perhaps Dungbeetle was experiencing one. I too have jumped to wrong conclusions about the posts of others.

  Usually I have also enjoyed Dungbeetles posts, so maybe we will get back to normal here.

  Have a great week.

  What Mars needs is some global warming. Put a few thousand SUV's up there with some coal fired electrical generators and we could transform Mars into a very livable place.

  Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I'm not sure what upset Dungbeetle about my comment, but obviously something did.

  I would like to take a moment to comment about some of the people who post here, like Dungbeetle. First of all, I believe this forum serves a very valuable and useful purpose for those who have only recently had doubts about their involvement with the WTS or have recently separated themselves from it.

  I noticed when I first posted here last summer, there were some self appointed forum elders who, for motives of their own, chose to criticize my comments and the comments of others. Many of those self righteous pricks have left the forum. To disagree with someone and clearly state the reasons for your disagreement is a valid exercise of use in any forum. But to cast aspersions on ones motives, or to personally attack them is a reflection of a fecal personality.

  I believe this is simply a carry over of the ignorant, know-it-all attitude engendered by many years as a Jehovah's Witness. Being critical of others is certainly an admired attribute in the borg. What I would like to remind many former JW's, except those raised in it, is that being hoodwinked by the Witnesses is not something to be proud of. In fact, it may even reflect some deep seeded character flaws that will manifest themselves in other ways throughout ones life. I am not suggesting that this is the case with all former Witnesses, but certainly it seems to apply to many I see commenting here.

  I still enjoy reading comments here and though I post much less frequently than I used to, I will continue to visit. So, to Dungbeetle and any others who have risen to the rank of forum elder, please kiss my ass.

  This is a public opinion board. I will post what I want, when I want and if you don't like it you can stick it right up your sorry ass.

  EXCUSE ME!!!! I was alive and kicking 18-20 years ago and I didn't need a fucking study to clue me into the idea that sexually abusing children was harmful. Harmful immediately and harmful in the long term. People weren't standing around with puzzled looks on their faces when their child was molested by some pedophile sicko.

  I had children then and I can assure you that if it had happened to my kids, and I don't think it ever did, the pervert who did it wouldn't have made it through a lengthy and costly trial. In fact, I remember a case in the mid 80's where a man out west, who's son had been molested by a camp counseler, waited for the handcuffed bastard after his trial as they were transporting him to prison via the airport, and blew the guys brains out with a pistol. Obviously, this guy thought the damage to his son was serious.

  Bush briefed on hijacking threat before September

  by ashitaka in

  washington (cnn) -- president bush's daily intelligence briefing in the weeks leading up to the september 11 terror attacks included a warning of the possibility that osama bin laden's al qaeda network would attempt to hijack a u.s.-based airliner, senior administration officials said wednesday.

  but, the officials said, there was no speculation about the use of an airplane itself as a bomb or a weapon, and no specific, credible information about the possibility of a hijacking of any sort.

  hijackers took over the controls of four planes on september 11, 2001. two of those planes plowed into new york's world trade center, another jetliner nose dived into the pentagon and the fourth aircraft crashed into pennsylvania woodlands after passengers tried in vain to overcome the terrorists.

  The Bush haters will always hate Bush, just as the Clinton haters will always hate Clinton. Me? I hate everybody!

  This is all political in an election year. Nothing more, nothing less.

  If Bush had deported all illegal Arab aliens and Arab students as a result of his August briefings, the liberals would have gone ape shit.
  Frankly, I think any illegal alien should be deported, Arab or otherwise.

  Jesus' Death-Stake or Cross?

  by Dutchie in

  ive always wondered about the controversy regarding whether jesus died on a cross or on a stake.

  whats the difference anyway?

  his execution was simply the way the romans put people to death.

  It isn't unusual for historical events to be embellished and such is the case with the death of Jesus. In reality the biblical record obscures the facts surrounding the death of our Lord and Savior.

  The Jehovah's Witness argument against the cross in favor of the torture stake is simply a red herring. Jewish scholars have long known that Jesus died while crossing a busy street in Nazareth while visiting his childhood home. A runaway donkey cart loaded with grain appeared out of nowhere from between two buildings adjoining a narrow street and struck the unsuspecting Jesus. He was mortally injured and died later that night. I hope this doesn't burst anyones bubble, but sometimes the truth is painful.

  someone recently posted a link to the mp3 song: "joanie, the jehovah witness stripper.".

  while trying to find out who performs that song, look what i found: the story of "amethyst the (former) jehovah witness stripper".

  i found that the song "joanie the jehovah's witness stripper" was by an artist named "paul thorn", his website is http://www.paulthorn.com/.

  I once had a lap dance in Orlando and the dancer claimed that she was raised a JW. I didn't pursue the line of discussion because I was inspired to think of other more immediate concerns.
