  Are JWs chronic liars?

  by Kristofer in

  2. friends

  it's been about a year since i've been on this board.

  and what brought me here was me (a non-jw) seeing a jw girl.

  i've been out of this situation for a while now.

  Its called theocratic warfare strategy

  However I do know some genuine, honest witnesses. Unfortunately they are being schooled in deception

  nelly136's poetry thread inspired me.

  i was reading through nelly136's thread on disgusting dub poetry (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/124225/1.ashx) and i felt inspired.

  it's still a little rough, but let me know what you think.

  perhaps it could become a collaboration.

  NEWS-DFed for seeking ATHLETIC CAREER

  she's a boxer; oh, yes' 'she's a boxer; oh, yes'.

  gary post tribune, in - 2 hours ago.

  ... all those crying fits had to be in the back of grandma's mind one sunday in 2004, when an elder in her congregation at jehovah's witness kingdom hall took her... 'it takes heart' but it takes more than hands to make it at the gary police athletic league gym.

  Hi Abandon

  something to add 

  You sit in your high Brooklyn Tower

  As the innocent suffer in your power

  Comfortable and at ease in your stronghold

  While the rank and file do they are told

  tears and blood from you run in a stream

  as the orphans and poor lose self-esteem

  comfort and help comes from those who rove

  through the vast internet treasure trove

  What faithful JW's do you pity the most?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of us have family in the borg, we are anxious to get them out, .

  we might be very angry with the borg.. but who among the jw do you really just pity?

  is it elders, pioneers, retired folks w/o decent retirement?.

  I was trying to think of a single religion - other than the wt- that makes the same demand of children as it does of adults. Not a single one.

  5 meetings week - same for children

  preparation for meetings - same for children

  ministry - same demands of children

  Its like in wt eyes children don't exist, they are there by accident and as they are there, they have to do everything everyone elso is doing or get left behind. What ever happens they mustn't get in the way!

  feels better getting that out

  i haven't read as much as i would like to, so i'd like to catch up on some reading, especially relating to female ex-jws.

  i'm going to order "out of the cocoon" today.

  has anyone read "the truth book" by joy castro, and if so, what should i expect from it?.

  I'd recommend The Great Transformation by Karen Armstrong. Its about `the world in the time of Buddha, Socrates,Confucius and Jeremiah and why they had such similar ideas about humanity'. Came out this year.
