There was a song about "paranoia running deep"! Why would they waste their time here? I do it for fun- and to ridicule the ridiculing!

I'm Attending the Memorial
by RichieRich inmy lovely girlfriend and i sat down over a homecooked meal, and discussed the pros and cons of attending the memorial.. i decided, with her support, that we would attend.. i spent years of my life pretending to be a witness to please my mother.
when i left the witnesses, my mother said some hurtful things.. and those things really hurt me... for a while.
but i established myself as my own person, developed my own relationships, and have gotten a good start on my own life.. i don't know that i want to hurt my mother back, but i do want to make it abundantly clear to her, my grandmother, and all the members of my former congregation, that richierich is alive and kicking.. and i think that walking into the kingdom hall, dressed respectfully in a suit, yet with full piercing jewelry intact, and with erika wearing something classy that steals the brother's eyes, and draws glares from the humble sisters, will be just the thing to send that message to my mother.. i don't plan on partaking or making a disturbance.

RR- why not do something DIFFERENT; forget about making a scene, or statement. Forget about people you think are phony. Think about Christ- and just listen to the scriptures. Ignore people, think about your Maker and His Son.

I think what it "boils down to" is that if you WANT to believe something like this- your mind will see all the evidence entirely different than the one who WANTS to believe something else. Only the one who will put all that aside to take an honest look at what the scriptures say BY THEMSELVES- without any help from religion- have any chance to really understand them!

Why does the average JW remain ignorant of who write WT publications??
by Gill ini have just been reading randy's thread on the blood issue and gene smalley and found it fascinating, but fascinating not because of the life threatening doctrine of no blood transfusions for jehovah's witnesses but because of the fact that the name of a writer of watchtower publications is such obvious public knowledge.. my parents insist that no one ever knows who wrote any of the watchtower publications and yet on this site the names of many a writer is often mentioned without a second thought.. why are the rank and file jws so ignorant of who write the publications and why do they accept this state of affairs and right and good!?.
i have mentioned names of writers and my parents just shout that i'm believing apostate lies whereas everyone of this site knows who the writers are..

Today's Text is Scriptural Blasphemy
by gumby inhey gang, this morning as i was making some coffee i saw the "text book" lying there and decided i'd read todays text as i never do, just to see what it had to say.. it was taken from john 15:12 which says..... " this is my commandment, that you love one another just as i have loved you".. anyways, it goes on to say what jesus told his diciples who asked him which was the greatest of all the commandments and jesus answered them that "you must love god with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself".
then it went on to ask if this law was also important to christians today and the comment was.... ( and heres the kicker) "absolutely, the law of christ involves a heartfelt love of god and includes a new command.....christians are to have a self sacrificing love for one another".. so rather than say christians are to love your fellowman, they twist the scripture and say christians are to love other christians.......and we all know by that statement they mean other jehovah's witnesses since they hold no regard for christians of this world.
yes, once again they play mind tricks on the publishers and tell them to love each other...rather than your fellowman and people of this world in general as was the case in the illustration jesus himself gave with the good samaritan.. it's no wonder jehovah's witnesses are despised by many in this world with their self rightous attitudes and beliefs regarding their fellowman that is induced in them by a few old men from brooklyn new york.. i hope your reading this wtbts spies, i really do.

These discussions can be very interesting and enlightening. But, it's obvious now that this really was not the intention of this thread. I get the feeling that you are just trying to antagonize people and get a reaction. So far, you remind me of a child who likes to pull his sisters hair just to get a reaction out of her. I don't have a problem with active JWs coming on here and debating people. But, it gets very tiresome and boring when they come on here and just waste forum space creating useless threads where they merely try to get attention. Being a JW doesn't make you a "troll". It is threads like this one that we call "trolling".
