obviously the nazi's hold bloodguilt in part for the jw's who died in the concentration camps.. but unlike jews who could not change who they were, could not become un-jew and would have been killed anyways, jw's were often offered release if they renounced their faith as a jw.. since it is obviously a false teaching they were led to believe - that their eternal salvation rested on being & staying a jw - does the governing body (leadership) hold some bloodguilt, are they accountable in some way, for the atrocities that fell upon jw's?.
or is it merely a principle thing - that no matter what religion/belief was held, one should not be asked to give it up at the whim of a dictator?.
does the individual jw hold any fault based on whether they refused to sign over principle of freedom of belief or whether it was fear of losing their salvation by leaving a certain denomination?.
zomfg definitely the dubz fault...'cause, lyke, if they weren't dubz, then they wouldn't have been killed....oh yeah, and blacks are partly responsible for slavery.
What the hell kind of logic is that?...is this a serious question, or are you just effing with us?
how do your minds work people??.
the word 'cult'.
who is comfortable saying they were raised in a 'cult' or were brainwashed temporarily by a 'cult'?.
nope...it is not technically a cult, so I don't call it one.
i am writing because i am tired of people talking about rumours that they heard about dave madzay,he was the kindest , most intelligent man i ever new, yes he was df but only jehovah can judge him for things he did, no one else.he was an elder very high up in bethel who gave the most wonderful talks, helped many people,brought a lot of people into the truth and yet when he died not one jw attended his funeral.
how sad that a man who was so high up in bethel could be treated like this...........i was brought up in the truth until i was 15 , and turned away because of how dave was treated, even though dave had jehovah in his heart right up until his last breath and did everything he could do to be reinstated but sadly never was.........................i know i knew him
I am writing because i am tired of people talking about rumours that they heard about Dave Madzay,he was the meanest , dumbest man I ever new, no he was not df but only satan can judge him for things he did, no one else.He was an elder very high up in the church of satan who gave the most flamboyant talks, punched many people,brought a lot of people into the caverns of hell and yet when he died not one satanist attended his funeral. How sad that a man who was so high up in satan's glorious church could be treated like this...........I was brought up in lucifer's light until I was 15 , and turned away because of how Dave was treated, even though Dave had satan in his heart right up until his last breath and did everything he could do to be disfellowshipped but sadly never was.........................I never knew I knew the new news
just want to see what you people think of this question...
-lone_wolf
neither...just another religion...
i know that a lot of jws are very proud of being jws, but ever since i can remember i would be very quiet about it.
i wouldn't announce it at school or work.
i would shy away from the subject.
nope...im the same as i was as a jw. if someone asks, i tell 'em. i am what i choose to be, no need to broadcast it.
why didn't i follow the way of jesus and go to bethel?
along with my other topic dealing with my searching for my place in this town, i come across plenty of people who follow their parents, go to church, and vote for bush and all that boring stuff.
at subway today, there was a large group of happy christians ordering their food.
if you have to ask.. then yes, you should
i hope it worked.
my intent with the title of this thread was to attract both believers and non-believers.
whenever a thread appears promoting the wonders of jesus, it will inevitably develop into a back and forth discussion ad nauseam.. i was born into a family that believed there was a god, he had a son jesus and his word was the bible.
i don't beleive in jesus because i try to avoid thinking for myself and am angry at jw's for not letting me listen to limp bizkit
it f*cks me off that this happened only a few years ago but no one in my office has yet to even mention it.
it was such a pivotal event:.
i was driving from fontana to chino in california dressed in service clothes.
what planes?
yes I am...so what?
those who aren't in the truth i feel much pity for you.
all of you are filled with much hatred and anger that all you can do is blast out of your stupid mouths horrible things about the one true religion.
i feel sorry for you that you will not have ever lasting life.
if you were a real person, i'd bake you some cookies
