What would you have accomplished?

by restrangled in

jw
friends

after watching jordon spraks on american idol so strongly supported by her parents, i wonder what some of us could have accomplished had we had the same in our younger years.. what could you have done at that age?.

r..

I'm not sure what I would have accomplished, but if I was NOT raised a JW I can tell you what I would NOT have accomplished.

1. I would not have publicly announced I wanted to kill myself at age 11.

2. I would not have received beating after beating(not spankings) for falling asleep during meetings.

3. I would not have been made fun of my entire life in school and in my neighborhood.

4. I would have had a childhood.

5. I would know what it's like to get birthday and christmas presents.

6. I would not have dropped out of highschool.(Who needs school when you CANT go to college and all you can do is preach)

7. I would not have been depressed for as long as I can remember, and would not have social anxiety disorder.

8. I would not have random panic attacks for no reason.

9. I would not have had to live in fear of doing anything the WTS said was wrong in fear I would die a horrible death at Armageddon.

I don't want to bore you all with anymore but my first child was born last month. You know how you say I'm going to give her/him what I never had? Well most mean material possesions, when we say that we mean a happy childhood. I already warned my mom if she ever preaches to her or takes her into a KH that will be the last time she ever sees her.

Now that I think of it I know what I would have accomplished if I had the support that girls parents gave her. I'd live a happy care free life not fearing that the normal human desires and thoughts I had would not have gotten me destroyed at armageddon.

Brother Honda bought an other Honda, and another Honda...

by JH in

i walked by a ms's house today, and he loves honda's.

each time he buys a car, he gets a honda.

so i noticed a 3rd honda in his driveway.. so, i was thinking how i could apply the idolatry commandement in his case.... i can imagine if i was an elder, and i would tell this brother, "brother honda, you better buy a nissan or toyota or gm next time or else i'll disfellowship you for idolatry.

You can always hit him with a materialism reference, Brother Honda do you really need three cars? Cant you sell one so we can pay our court fees for molesting todlers?

Great idea for a billboard

by Heather in

the kingdumb hall here in my area is right on a huge street with lots of traffic.

there is an empty lot to one side with a billboard that can be seen from the street.

if you are driving one way the bullboard is actually seen right in front of the kh....i wonder what it would take to advertise on the one side...its could say something like "are you the victim, or do you know victums of sexual child abuse?

DeViL DriVeR 76

Unfortunately most would not know what silent lambs are. I was in my moms house just today and mentioned the WTS settled quite a few sexual abuse cases and she nevber even heard of it. Thw WTS does it's best to mask what they do if you want to put a billboard there that would make an impact it would have to blatently state where you can find info on all of the abuse thats going on in their organization. SOmething like "Just got fingered?, feel they wont believe you? Feel alone? http://www.silentlambs.org meet thousands of others just like you.

Worst part is even if they did check it and questioned their elders the WTS would quickly come up with manditory statements that had to be read at meetings saying this is the work of satan. Just today I told my mom i read an article in Forbes of all places and she still doesnt believe me stating its the work of apostates! LMAO forbes are JW apostates yeah ok. Anyway for those who want concrete proof from a non biased organization proving of the molestation lawsuits here you go

How Jesus got his beard

by DeViL DriVeR 76 in

chuck norris was the fourth wise man, who gave baby jesus the gift of beard, which he carried with him until he died.

the other three wise men were enraged by the preference that jesus showed to chuck's gift, and arranged to have him written out of the bible.

all three died soon after of mysterious roundhouse-kick related injuries.

ok, so i have another thing to chalk up to the watchtower.

this weekend my dad told my husband that my mother actually asked my dad to divorce her because she didn't want to be married to an unbeliever and he wasn't going to get baptized.

not so much the story my mom told me all those years ago..... .

DeViL DriVeR 76

I remember my father burning all my mothers books and literature in a big bon fire. But Jehober miraculously caused them to reappear in our house a couple of months latter.

Haa haa bet that cost your mom a couple hundred bucks in "donations".

Has anyone ever accepted a evil slave tract at an assembly?

by PinTail in

i did once, it was in ogden, utah events center.

it was after the afternoon talk and me and my ex-wife was walking to our car, and nice fellow asked if i would like to look at a tract, i said yes thank you.at that very moment this other fellow jehovah's witness came over and rudely jerked it our of my hand, and told me did you not hear the brother from bethel, to not accept tracts from them and to just look straight ahead.

needless to say this embarrassed me a great deal, cause there was many other witness's walking with me as well as my daughters seen me being disrespected, so i slugged that so and so, right smack on his nose and it knocked him to the ground, and i reminded him that i live in the good old u s of a, and i will read what i want!

Awesome!!! Wish I could have been there.

Does anyone have a copy of this tract? I never heard of it and would like to read what it says.

is atheism better than believing in a god who doesnt care?

by theinfamousone in

so here's a sincere question... and instead of pressing my frustrations and blaming god and bla bla bla... i decided that instead of writing letters to an inactive god, i would ask your opinion!!!!!.

here's the question, looking at the world around you, seeing all the pain and frustration, the death and disease, the war and hypocricy, the starvation and disgust; generally seeing that our world is falling apart... if someone were able to irrevocably prove that there was a god, an intelligent creator is you will, would you want to worship him?

if he was there and created all of this just to watch it all implode, would you be able to respect that?

is atheism better than believing in a god who doesnt care?

It's better than believing in a "god who doesnt care" but for some may not be better than believeing in god.

Now the christian god DOES NOT CARE! Not just JW god any one who believes the bibles god. How? not just because he lets mankind suffer but why he lets them suffer. HE DID IT OVER A F@CKING BET!!!! Thats right satan said I can turn everyone against you, god said no you cant , satan said could too, god said could not, satan said could too infinity! Ok maybe not in those exact words but you get the point. God said he would give satan some time to prove himself. HOW LONG DOES HE NEED???? It's been thousands of years. Humans are dieng every day and god wont stop it over a bet he made with some insignificant angel he could have destroyed the second he questioned him. So yeah that god doesnt care.

But that does not mean that he's even a god, tht doesnt mean that theres not another god out there whos plan was to give us life, free will and let us do with it as we please. Who knows maybe theres a real bible out there and it was destroyed and re written and the real gods pissed at us and lets us suffer. The problem is when most people say god at least here on these boards they are talking about the christian god, but there are many other people who believe in different gods who have different thoughts on why things are the way they are now.

Anyway I personally dont believe in god but at the same time I dont believe one does not exist so I would have to answer your question... No, I dont believe atheism is better than not believing at all I would say being agnostic is however.

If not God, who or what is ultimately in control?

by Guest with Questions in

i believe that we are all subject to either god or man but man is very limited.

as a christian i believe that god is in control.

he did give us free choice to an extent but he is control overall.

DeViL DriVeR 76

If something has to be in control than maybe its just the universe itself. Just the moon alone has more impact in our lives than we may know. Not only does it control the tides and everything else we learned in class like gravity and what not. When people say the crazies come out ona full moon its not just an old wives tale. If you know a cop ask them if they notice a difference on a full moon as compared to any other day.

Last month my first child was born. The maternity ward and waiting room were packed. My girlfriend needed to have an emergency c-section. When we came out into the recovery room there were couples lined up waiting for their scheduled c-sections. I passed by the waiting room on the way to our room and it was packed. The next day everything was empty as well as the day after that and so on until we were discharged. What I left out was my girl was born on a full moon. At the time I didnt know it. When we got to our room I mentioned to the nurse how shocked I was that the place was so crowded. She looked at me with no surprise and said "happens every full moon".

I dont believe in astrology but read your chart sometime. I'm not talking about a wonton cookie fortune or going to some money hungry "Psychic". For most people the characteristics in their charts describe their personalities almost perfectly. And it's not just broad terms they use that can apply to anyone because if you read someone elses they wont apply to you the way yours does.

Tornadoes, volcanoes, wildfires, floods, etc ruin acres upon acres of land constantly, thats also a force we cnat stop so is that in control? who knows.

My parents are still practicing JW's and if you can only hear the ignorance the spew you'd either laugh or puke. Every time something bad happens it's satans fault and everytime something good happens it's god's doing. According to my mom Satan gave her cancer but god influenced the "worldy" people at the cancer treatment center to fly her there and treat her at no charge. Well their god is generous considering he did the same for jews, catholics etc.

I believe there is something out there that is in control but I dont believe it's a being with the ability to make decisions.

P.S. maybe the iluminati or free masons are in control LOL

congregation behind in their donation !!!

by buffalosrfree in

recently at a theo night, it was mentioned that the cong was behind in their donation to the society and it was specifically mentioned that the mags and books cost $$4 and the donations weren't even with the amount of mags and books being requested.

does this not show that the society is still after the congregations for the money for "free" mags and books?

what a bunch of hyprocrites.

DeViL DriVeR 76

Everyone, please try to get a copy of a letter like that so I can post it.
I suspect the IRS would also be VERY interested in learning about this.

If they cheated on their taxes that would be the iceing on the cake. Any JW's who stayed would have to have the IQ's of a doorknob.
