a former lebanese (christian) terrorist once told me a story (meant to be funny) about west asian politics.. a turtle was swimming past the shoreline of the red sea.
on the shore a scorpion calls out,"hey!
give me a lift over to the other side.
My concern with the influx of these refugees (and I am fully in support of helping these unfortunate people) is that there are undoubtedly covert ISIS and Taliban fighters/terrorists infiltrating along with then. Down the road in maybe 3, 6, 12 or 24 months they will start their acts of terror here in Europe, and that is unfortunate.
So what is the solution?
I personally have no idea.
i do - actually, it's become close to unbearable.. and herein lies the paradox: i tried to fade in the illusion that i might keep contact with family and friends still "in".
was it worth it?
because not only most of them shun me anyways, but i find it almost unbearable to be around them, especially when the cult chit chat kicks in: every cute animal video clip triggers endless comments about glimpses of the future paradise and how "god did it"; those greasy praises to the organization and the governing body; the dumb awe about every jw broadcast and those cheesy music videos; the endless drivel against other religions when one knows perfectly well that we're no better than them; the endless flow of "experiences" of field service or spectacular conversions into "the truth"; the relentless congregation gossip; and so on .... i ask myself: is this why i am fading for ...?

I know how you feel, although I am not DA'd or DF'd all shun me even my own wife and we live in the same house but have separate bedrooms. Apart from my wife I have no contact with JWs for me they are all dead, I did none of them any harm.
Was the fade worth it for me, no it was not I only faded to try and keep my family intact, but this cult has enormous power over my wife. The marriage is at an end. I hope things go well for you though.

I think "Nitty Gritty" is a closet apostate, only cognitive dissonance prevents her from coming out.
So, Nitty Gritty come out of the closet, you really do have many potential friends on this site.
i have noticed that many lately have left the org or are in the process of leaving.
how many of you have left since 2015?.
this month will be my 21 years out of the org into the road of freedom.

try installing "stealthy" as an add on to your browser, you only need to enable it when there are things that you want to see.
i have noticed that the jws are participating in meetings organized by the osce.
they are registered or participate under the "european association of jehovah's christian witnesses".
one point highlighted in this organization is tolerance.
Well, I just sent an email to the OSCE, explaining a little about their Child Abuse record and their psychological control of members.
It would be great if everyone could do this.
i've been reading about different types of emotional abuse to help me define and cope with my difficult marriage, came across this article : 7 ways a person can be abused, by a psychologist.
http://pro.psychcentral.com/exhausted-woman/2015/08/7-ways-a-person-can-be-abused/.
includes forms of 'spiritual abuse' - these sound familiar?.
so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.
so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

Take a look again at your first post. It was full of untruth. Sure Heidenau happened. But believing everything in the press like you do is stupid, utterly stupid.
Again look at what you said, look at what you said, and compare that with the facts, no massive riots in the cities, no massive anti-refugee protests. Like I said earlier Ferguson does not mean the whole of the USA is on fire or rioting does it. And what Sofia Lose mentioned, those nations were destabilized by the USA and Europe has to deal with the mess. But in saying that I have a tremendous amount of respect for the American people, just your foreign policy sucks. So all you Americans do not take offense.

Seizing anything is basically against the German constitution, unless there is a very good reason. Using underused facilites like containers, gymnasiums that are publicly owned to house these unfortunate people is certainly not the same. Buildings that are privately owned but not being used, are only used with permission and the owners are financially compensated, again not the same as seizing. To say there are wide spread anti-refugee riots is real bullshit, there are very few anti-refugee gatherings almost all are non-violent. To say there is wide-spread rioting in Germany is like saying there was rioting throughtout the USA due to what happened in Ferguson.
The fact is Kaik is twisting facts and using lies, just like the JW GB.
