  is it necessary to resort to the schoolyard talk and name-calling every time someone says something, which is in disagreement with you, or is something you don't agree with?.

  interestingly, some of the more "knowledgeable" persons on here seem do be the first to resort to these measures.

  do they feel like they are better than the next person?.

  …open up a can of worms that might lead this thread into one of the very posts msil mentions.

  Fair enough Scorpion, if I understand you correctly, the less said the better.

  msil, could you please provide just one good example of what upsets you or what it is you’re referring to?

  I honestly don’t recognize what you are ‘seeing’. Keeping in mind it’s impossible, because of life style priorities, for me to read every post.

  I wonder if Jehovah will recycle rather than discard His Hanky in the trash like He does the millions upon millions of Awake! and Watchtower's that've been printed bi-monthly during most of the last century?

  For now, we'll just ignore the tons of fossil fuels we exhausted into the upper atmosphere using our fuel efficient '55' buicks' to distribute WTB&TS land fill material door-to-door.

  I was such an idiot! ooops, I was born a Jehovah's Witness...correction, my parents were naive.

  WEEKLY STRATEGIC UPDATE

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is no question about it, the world is rapidly heading toward its terminal tumult.

  with the foretold apostasy now fully underway, the stage is set for jehovahs ongoing controversy to be pressed to its ultimate conclusion.

  piece by piece, chunks of the underlying economy, the life blood of the present system of things, are falling away.

  Hi Robert…Are you in a CULT?

  You Know is a cult, a cult of one, but one nonetheless.

  tat, from my experience, one doesn’t find the Watchtower Observer site…it jumps out of the bushes and hits you with a length of two by four. All you have to do is inquire…there’s plenty of aspirin to go around afterward.

  Observation by an outsider

  by MikeNightHaShev in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i notice that because the jw's point out flaws with the churches doctrines and beliefs that instead of fixing or repenting or solving the issues it's easier for church people to form a backlash whether it's honest or falacious in order to displace blame and smokescreen their own inadequacies.. you can not heal yourself by pointing out anothers wounds, you also can not solve your problems by displacing them instead of admiting and addressing them.. if a jw or anyone else points out the problem of abuse in the church then by pointing out an abuse in the jw elders does not solve the issues of the church abuses neither is it repentance as repentance should be.. if you can't discuss the bible and resons why you fall short and trasngress then by bringing up personal issues or attacking each other like jackals does not change those transgressions it just adds more.. as an outsider i must say all of you are like animals on their prey simply because you didn't like being exposed for your false testiments and false practices.

  this means your emotional and psychological and spiritual level is far from being grown up.. will you dare persecute me for pointing out such observations?

  a spiritually grown person will reflect on what i say, admit to it and try to change, but a child of darkness will feel their ego hurt and group rpide kicks in causing a person not grown to become defensive bitter and mean/perhaps even spiteful.

  As an outsider I must say all of you are like animals on their prey…so what will it be, mature discussions or will you sink to lowly personal attacks?

  Seriously, the intent of your post was, which?

  Indoctrinated at "church camp"

  man, i can't believe how gullible people are.

  my friend was an atheist, but recently went to a "church camp" for four days.

  now she's back, and she said she's a new person.

  she has a need for religion in her life, in which case she would have begun to believe at some point anyway

  Or, to expand on this thought, prior to “discovering” her need to “serve God” she was always a loving, kind, comforting, considerate and compassionate individual.

  Perhaps during “Church camp” she simply manifested a susceptibility to being influenced by the power of group dynamics within a closed environment…in other words…mass hysteria.

  If she has an addictive or insecure type personality, her "habit" will be difficult to kick.

  Why would that make you mad? If someone desires to serve God and allow a transformation of love, kindness, comfort, consideration, compassion

  You may not want to assume too much and qualify your statement regarding “...serving God parallels love, kindness, comfort, consideration and compassion.

  For the majority, to serve God means wrapping explosives around their torso with the intent to take as many “infidels” out as possible.

  However I agree, let’s think positively, regardless of how naive and hope the “Christian Camp” she attended, was one of the benign few.
