  700 million babies to be slaughtered

  by hamsterbait in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the world population increases by 70 million each year.. this means that on the day armageddon strikes, at least 700 000 000 babies under the age of 10 wil be slaughtered.. 192 000 of these will be less than 24 hours old, many of them killed with their head barely hanging out of their mothers vagina.. how can the witlesses love a god that would do this - even long for it??.

  it strikes me that for the witlesses morality is entirely relative.. i well remember the kingdumb song: "some paint god cruel" (wt does!!!).

  They will not be destroyed. Just trust in Jehovah. Everything will magically work out in perfect, loving harmony. 10 million years from now, who will remember what happened anyways.

  You complicated things greatly by creating all those partitions in the first place - there is really no advantage in doing so.

  1) buy partition magic

  2) do not run it from windows, get a bootable version of the product than runs off computer boot up..

  3) if you get this far, good, the next steps are difficult for a computer novice - you could easily end up blowing everything away

  4) YOUR BEST BET - BUY AN EXTERNAL USB HARD DRIVE - COPY EVERYTHING EXCEPT C DRIVE ONTO IT

  5) PROBLEM SOLVED (sort of)

  FYI... I am a M.C.S.E (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer)

  good luck!!

  Thank you all for your comments. I know why I feel guilty: because I have been programmed to feel this way. I think it begins with deprogramming the ingrained mantra of their teachings.

  Its something - I am now 41 and divorced from my ex JW wife. 20 years ago I was a Ministerial Servant on the fast track to being one of those young and energetic elders. It seems like yesterday. I never really believed much of it, just did it because all my friends did it. Once I left home and started thinking for myself, I knew this day would eventually come.

  Friends:

  Long time lurker, very occasional poster. I have done the fade thing for 4 years now, and have not attended a meeting in over 2 years. I had a group of nice friends in "
  the truth" all of whom have since forgotten that I exist. My parents are in their 80's and zealous as the day is long. My brother in-law is an elder...You get the idea - I am surrounded with nowhere to escape their "loving wrath". My dear mom is now in a desperate race to save me before the wonderful day arrives (is it tomorrow really?).

  Bottom line - I was not prepared for life on the other side. I feel like I live in another dimension, like there is a vacuum of space between me and everyone else. I know I am depressed, riddled with guilt and anger. Why can't I just be accepted for who I am? Why can I not disagree with some of the teachings without reprisal?

  I reach out to those ones who are fading, reminding them that if you are not prepared, life on the other side of the ORG is a lonely place. I used to be an outgoing, happy person. Now I am a hiding soul, locked up, without answers. I have thought of returning, and "faking" it, doing the bare minimum.... I cannot - the last time I was at the hall it gave me a stomach ache, I was done, walked out at the halfway song, and have never gone back.

  I know I need to find a pair of bollocks and get on with a new life, but its tough. I am psychologically scarred. This healing will take time. Family is a lost cause, I am the black sheep. God I wish they would stop shoving the tower and awake in my face - been there, done that.

  Thanks for listening. Putting this in writing is somewhat therapeutic. Where do I go from here? I'm not sure.

  What do they need WILL's for? The end is coming tomorrow and HE doesn't accept cash.
