  Yes it is not only presumptuous but arrogant....

  by messenger in

  is it presumptuous of jehovahs witnesses to point out that they alone have gods backing?

  wt 6/1/01 pg 16. .

  is it just me or is this question one that causes histerical laughter to anyone outside the organization?.

  Hi Messenger,
  I see clearly your point about the foolishness in having delusions
  of grandeur, but that is considered insanity mostly when dealing with
  individuals not groups. You mentioned individuals. Think about how Nazism has been considered
  logical by many people, including some intellectuals. So when the average individual, that is a non-intellectual, comes in touch w/ JWs
  they are vulnerable to the sanity that a large group enjoys by virtue of the numbers of people adhering and embracing the organization's philosophy. Unfortunately many emotionally and socially weak souls
  succumb to the madness of groups. Remember mind control is very real
  and a powerful tool used against people just as any other weapon is.
  Of course the reasons and degree of mind control varies among JWs.

  I love stopping by the roses, that's why I
  always stop by to read your sweet-scented thoughts.
  I'm sorry your're suffering w/ MS, but glad you
  noticed your freedom from the JW cult.
  Wishing you Love and Happiness,

  An idiot behaves idiotic because he's an idiot.
  A JW behaves idiotic because:
  1. He wants to obey the Faithful and Discreet Slave
  2. He reads only JW material.
  3. He is following men.
  4. He is a he. (ha, just kidding guys)

  Sacrifice / Death

  by Big Jim in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.

  Hi Big JiM,
  Yes many people unfortunately allow such things to rob them of life's
  beauties. They became slaves to their philosophies. Even those that
  deny life after death imprison themselves from the beauty of hope.
  They only deal with what they can touch and feel, imagination escapes them.

  Atheists/Agnostics/Prayer

  by patio34 in

  2. friends

  on the subject of prayer: this is addressed to the more atheistic or agnostic ones amongst us.. now, all those years i prayed really hard when times were tough, and then things worked out.

  i now believe it was my own hard work that gave the solutions.

  prayer was helpful in that i felt i had help.

  Hi Larc,
  Relative rudeness.
  If you curse at me must I stay silent, or can I tell you
  that you are being rude.
  Relativism, my friend

  PS, I'm sorry I participate when you guys asked me not to.
  I'll stay away now.

  JanH, my friend, I was not trying to win. Take note of this carefully, please. There are different views on the existence of
  God. You have yours and I have my. Neither one of us can prove in
  the absolute that we are correct. Remember you are not all knowing.
  God may be looking at you right now from from a dimension you can't
  see or feel, or he may not be. I can't say for sure, but neither can
  you. As for my resorting to "all sorts of bad vices to [my] opponents," Opps. I'm sorry but I didn't think of you as an opponent.
  I have been trying to share my thoughts on God, not flooding you with evidence for my believe. I think you can be too rude,(how you get immoral from this, BTW) to handle sometimes, and decided call this to your attention. I also noticed that you tend to be to set on your ideas, not flexible and dogmatic, that's all though. Conversing with you is challenging, interesting, exciting. But at times is can be
  unpleasant too.

  When I was a JW I would have never been as nasty and rude as you
  are to everyone here. I' don't believe you are happy, I think you're
  a fool in aching in misery. Your attitude shows it.
  I don't discriminate when it comes to jerks. Whether you are a JW jerk
  or a non-JW jerk, I like to point it out. You are a jerk.

  Good stuff, Tallyman,
  They should make a public anouncement about cults using that.
  I'm addicted to comedy, so thanks for the high.

  Ibeg to differ sir,
  I was miserable and voluntarily left and have
  exp. more happiness ever since. I give thanks
  to Jehovah that he saved me from such a wicked
  organization, where souls have been burned, families
  broken, children abused and molested, women raped
  and enslaved, young robbed of their youth, men taught
  to hate the person but not the sin, etc, etc, etc!!!
