i get so sick and tired of jws constantly questioning the source of information or the motives of the one providing it.. if satan said "2+2=4" would you then be stupid enough to say 'that cannot be true because the devil said it".
if the fds said "2+2 does not = 4" would you disagree with it??.
would you agree with it if they held a gun to your head and said "you will be killed if you dont agree??".
If the Washtowel Slaveholdery holds one viewpoint, you are to hold that viewpoint even if you can prove it wrong until they change the viewpoint themselves.
I was told that several times. They blamed it on higher education and that it caused me to "run ahead". It actually had nothing to do with "running ahead", it obvious that some articles were not as well researched as they should have been.
the news media seems to be reluctant in bringing up the fact of michael jackson's involvement with jehovah's witnesses.
the public deserves to know the adverse influence the witness belief system imposes on people.
the watchtower organization seemed to instill much fear into michael jackson as you can read in the following e-mail being sent to news agencies.
I don't think this email is out of line at all. I agree.
our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
it is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
One of my favorite quotes ever...thanks for the reminder.
hi guys and gals,.
i am a hypocryte.
brought up in the "truth" but know its not.
Cantleave,
Welcome to the board. You're not a hypocrite, you're just trying to figure a way out with the least amount of damage. Take your time...but don't take too long...its no fun knowingly living a lie.
And if you're ready, you should totally take Flipper up on his offer. Don't worry, he won't apostatize you. He's a great listener. Its amazing the weight that is lifted off of you by simply having a conversation out loud about where you are in regards to the JW faith.
Best wishes for peaceful journey,

Truthlover, you're right...it would not be wrong to send his mom a card. However, I think you forget the mentality of the JWs. Even though the card would be for her, it would be for a baptized son that left Jehovah...the ULTIMATE betrayal.
just heard this interview.
by this self-help rabbi guru.
that he spent a period of .
jamiebowers,
Ernesto obviously doesn't know the JW history of MJ very well. Someone posted a comment on MJ's disassociation in 1987.
And regarding Ernesto having JWs that are very good friends of his, I wonder if he's tried asking one of them to donate a pint of blood or how often they've gone to his house for dinner.
I doubt it.
BTW, according to JW doctrine he will not be resurrected.
but still attends meetings wouldnt she get some kind of counsel for that ?
she gives no reason for leaving him i dont think he is violent the couples two boys are with mum also so she can claim benefits .
its very confusing maybe she has seen the light but dosnt want to loose the kids so still goes to meetings ..
Yes, she would be counseled most likely reproved if she did not have approved grounds for separation.
michael jackson has been quoted as having no friends.
some here would like to blame his jw upbringing.. being a exjw, do you have trouble making and/or keeping friends?.
philip.
Yes...it takes a lot of work. Its not automatic like it is when just show up at KH and you instantly have 150 busybodies, I mean friends in your life.
everyone talked about him as being a weirdo.
a pedo.
a freak.
I thought everyone remembered the Human Nature poster!
