  Why I Stopped Apologising For The WTS

  by NewWay in

  2. experiences

  why i stopped apologising for the watchtower society - part 1. .

  in response to requests for information on why i stopped being an apologist for the organisation, i have decided to write the following article.

  what is written is not meant to attack the beliefs of jws, but rather to show why i personally came to the conclusion that i could no longer support the organisation.

  A powerful post, New'!

  ...how I agree now with a common cry I heard during my childhood that JWs broke up marriages.

  Prior to both your decisions to marry and the ultimate wedding at the Kingdom Hall (assumed) who (in general), inside or out of the congregation, warned you of the possible eventuality you describe?

  ...she would leave me...on the basis...I no longer shared her view of the organization.

  Perhaps in other words, the information you ask your spouse to contemplate threatens her association with the only social structure she believes she feels comfortable with, at the moment.

  As a Canadian, I can honestly say that so far I've really enjoyed being American.

  Diabolical, Isn't it? (New WT "Beroean")

  by winsome in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "slave organization" re-defines a "beroean" -- ones "willing to believe" without checking scriptures

  something very diabolical i believe is going on with the wts.

  years ago, when i joined the jw organization, we were encouraged to become a "beroean".

  The technological scope of scrutiny available to those interested in Jehovah's Witnesses and the Corporation they adhere to, for many, is much, much greater than in previous years.

  All that is needed is to narrow the psychological definition of what the WTBTS Corporation considers acceptable personal scrutiny.

  I graduated from Jedi to Emporer and not a person here noticed

  Francois, I think I remember having a slight bout of indigestion around the time you became Jedi.

  Perhaps readers of your posts were too blown away contemplating the contents to notice the comparative frivolity of you becoming a Jedi and now an Emperor.

  Also remember, Simon and Eman's relatives probably fought together under King Harold in 1066...since then their offspring have tended to stick together somewhat.

  Why WTS Wants A Young Girl To Die

  here we have a paradox - a mystery on which a life hangs.. the society dumped their new blood cards.

  they write ambiguous replies to "questions from.

  readers" about what blood products can or can't be taken.

  ...But perhaps you are referring in some way to Scully...?

  Absolutely not, 'beetle..only questioning the authenticity of a very disturbing message and the sensational nature and apparently premature timing of its announcement.

  Flip (ouch)

  PS

  ... went through your posting history, though,,,the jury might still be out on YOU.

  Yes, I suppose it's remotely possible they are. But, I doubt anyone is losing sleep. :)

  the WTS's lawyer...promised her that if she died while keeping her integrity and continuing to refuse blood, he would make sure she appeared in a future Awake! article.

  Scully, the above statement you posted is too despicably bizarre to be true.

  I dont know about anyone else, but, instead of 'shooting from the lip', I suggest you reserve future comment in this regard until relevant proof trumps hearsay, otherwise you end up looking like an embarrassment thats worse than serving no useful purpose.

  Lets get back to reality...shall we.

  Wolfman Jack to Richard Dreyfuss (Kurt) in American Graffitti.

  Rats...'Mega, so soon! Obviously not the obscure dialog I had anticipated.

  Reminds me...never underestimate the proclivity of the recluse. :)
