When I was in 1st grade......my school principal had a paddle mounted on his wall from the fifties. Mind you this was around 1975-76....I pretty much equate the cross with that.....an antiquated tool for pounding the crap out of you without a fair trial. THE symbol of guilt for millions through the generations. ingenious.I just hope something that evil/powerfull is never unleashed on mass humanity again.

A Farewell to 'Lost Souls'
by Gill inafter very little discussion and even contact with my parents in the last few months, they seemed to decide, either for themselves, or maybe they were put up to it, to confront me on my view of the watchtower society and condemn me, my husband and children to death.....any time soon.....when armageddon comes.
i'm afraid they continually called me an apostate and told me how apostates are , 'evil, horrible, bad and satanic people!
' i asked them if they knew what an 'apostate' was and why they didn't look the word up in the dictionary.

"but I do have a secret snigger when I consider their shock one day when they do realise, one way or another that they were conned! I know that day will come and I do feel only a little bit sorry for them because they have been warned many times." My parents...both sets of them,are like yours. I honestly don't think that day will come. The society is truly awesome at changing their beliefs at the drop of a hat...."the ever shining light getting brighter".........I am fairly confident they will die as witnesses.......and also that the Witnesses will be around when I die....of old age (hopefully). which makes me sad for them, and the generations that will follow them into a world of a mind controlling , profit driven, elitest relig. oh well.

good in jehovah's witnesses
by John Doe ini thought it might be nice to see some positive things mentioned about jw's.
now, i know mentioning these things may be hard given the experiences here, but i've yet to find a group of people who don't have something positive about them.
if there weren't something positive, no one would ever join.

What Maintains the Universe?
by metatron indoes it ever seem weird that evolutionists and creationists endlessly debate about events vastly distant in the past - without discussing what.
maintains the universe now?
clearly, electrons and protons have a certain mass, light has a particular speed and so on - why should any of.

Elders ARE idiots!!
by Gill inthis has always been my opinion, even as a 'loyal' jw!
i thought that elders were idiots.
i have only ever known one who has ever had any real education, a solicitor and he was an arrogant twonk, the rest were a pathetic bunch of bullies who 'appeared' to be loving and kind but were infact out to find out the shit about everyone and cause as much trouble for everyone as possible.

Okay............uhmmmmm yeah.........I hate ta say it but in my fair opinion.there are more idiots in the whole wide world than there are semi-cool people.........sorry ya got probs with your relatives who happen to be elders.but i don't think you can transfer all that aggression to the elders in general.and remain happy.so all's I gotta say is......let it go.be glad you've made the fade.........and last but not least...F'em! Don't let it get ya down!

Uhhmmmmm.okay.I don't know how to put this in a polite, p.c. way.....so I'll just say it. I'm a parent of a beautiful little one. If anyone..I don't give a rat's a@@ who.....touched my child in an improper manner.believe me.the last thing that individual would have to fear is a judicial committee...........THEY WOULD NOT LIVE THE NEXT DAY! I have a hard time fathoming that there are 7000.... ..scratch that because you'd generally have ta times that by two..........14,000 parents out there who would just bow their heads, and say."oh well.there weren't two witnesses so i guess you're sh!$ out of luck junior...... i think this whole subject makes me sick..........are they sooooooo blind that they would basically..symbolically .sacrifice their children to their beliefs...????? I never .in all my frikkin' 20 some odd years in the org. knew anyone sooooo spineless....... maybe I'm just lucky. either this is a commentary on mankind in general?........or on people's lack of justice.be it by govt. hand.or a pissed off parent......... would you stand for this ?????????? oh.the elders been reassigned.oh the elders moved.oh blah blah blahh........ know what?.part of me thinks this is just another sue happy episode..the other part.really feels like shit if a parent just would let go of such a situation...... so I gotta go with this........there are alot of people looking for a buck..and even more people looking ta back em if'n that bucks made off an org that they have disdain for........I hope for all our sakes I'm wrong.
