If I may offer some advise, the fore front policy from this religion is to own you and control you, in a sense the master does not like his slaves wandering off to serve

other masters, they have goaded you in to their little posy by offering not dieing and living in a paradise, once they put their brand on you, you become one of their possessions.

You should realize that other religious cults gather their followers in a very similar way, with very similar tactics. If they think they have the ordained power to bounce you out I say let them.

Another thing you might mention to them tell them that the kingdom hall didn't have enough exercise equipment so thats why you joined the YMCA.......good luck

Yep sounds like the same old talks on how to bring the Borg more slaves and isn't it hypocritical of them to denounce education since when they ever get ill

they run to the local hospital and give a well educated individual bags of money to heal themselves

What are some of the things that you miss about not being a JW

by Brain Dead in

what are some of the things that you miss about not being a jw any more ?

for myself i'd have to say it was the close relationships with the people there, some i don't miss at all, but some i really do miss, like the kids that i grew up with .

during my childhood.

Brain Dead

Yes I miss my family too or I should say I miss not having a close relationship with my JW brother and sister and my father also

Why the Watchtower is NOT Christian

by smellsgood in

watchtower, feb. 15, 1983, p. 12. .

" john 6:40 watchtower style .

the watchtower; "12/1/1981, p. 27. .

Brain Dead

Their just too commercial for one and they don't follow the works and deeds of Christ in a loving and compassionate way, probably the love of power and money screwed them up from the

beginning

What's a JW's main motivator?

by PopeOfEruke in

what's the main motivating force behind the average jw?.

i'd say it's a fear of their own death.

fear of dying.

Brain Dead

Good old fashion fear I think, jws. really think they are on to something that no one else in the world has got, little do they know that have hurt themselves with this intent

and have posted themselves against humanity in supporting such a corrupt organization

Who is your favorite animated cartoon character?

by gaiagirl in

my favorite would have to be marvin the martian (first appearance 1948).

everything about him cracks me up, from his roman gladiator helmet and kilt, to the way he walks and speaks ("that makes me angry, very angry indeed"), to the ultra cool devices he uses (suprisingly, from acme, who apparantly has outlets on mars).

a very close second, almost a tie, would have to go to droopy (first appearance 1943), who also walks and speaks in a humorous manner, and who has abilities far beyond what would be expected from his dimunitive size.

Brain Dead

I watch bugs bunny with Marge and the kids like Itchy and Scratchy, those two clowns, I really feel sorry for the cat though

Hey wait a minute I'm an animated character, shouldn't I like myself.............doh !

As a counter statement to the Awake magazine on the love of money, how insanely hypocritical are these people when it is well known that they've have been one of the biggest

commercially viable religions in the world. A matter of fact they have a marketing portfolio that includes everything from books, magazines, cassette tapes, Cd's all which brings

millions of dollars toward them every year, it is literally a billion dollar corporation world wide. They have peddled the word of god and peddled it well throughout the years and still

with all that wealth they say they need more money from the followers even trying to get peoples wills handed over to them. The love and the desire of money is overwhelming with the

organization even right down to the elders, my previous congregation elders all drove Cadillacs or Mercedes. What burns me more is they take all this money in and never give it out

to charity or where financial need is the greatest, think for a second how many lives they could have saved with all those millions in Africa for example !

Blatant hypocrisy of the highest is it not !

Disfellowshipping smokers is an outrage!

by yaddayadda in

how does the society scripturally justify taking the ultra-harsh measure of disfellowshipping and shunning persons who merely enjoy smoking a few cigarettes a day?

in what way is mild smoking a gross sin that is deserving of such a harsh punishment?

how on earth does the society make the connection between the scriptural exhortation to 'cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit' (2 cor 7:1 & 2) to taking the extremely harsh measure of denying a smoker the right to any contact with their fellow congregation members, friends, and jw family?

Brain Dead

Because impart they are trying to create a spiritually clean and righteous organization for the general public to see, call it image building or public relations.

their agenda is to make themselves stand out better that other religions, a clean appearance is very important in the marketing of themselves. Other rules that come to mind

would be men to have short hair, appropriate dress for going in service and there are others. They don't seem to touch booze very much though so thats why many jws. indulge in that so

called pleasure. Which brings to mind why did Jesus turn that water to wine anyways, didn't he care about those peoples health, I guess wine makes one more spiritually righteous
