Drew I have always loved the "It's useless for us to debate this subject" argumentation. Then you tell them to turn to Acts 18:28 and have them read verbatim what it says. They get to the word "debate" and are silenced. You then point out other scriptures in Acts where Paul debated for days! It's something they can't seem to grasp.

JWs are having a tough time
by drew sagan inyesterday i made a post that discussed some common argumentation methods that jws use to defend their religion and why they are faulty.
you can read that post here.
in that post i mentioned how jws live in a system that encourages, rewards, and praises people for using poor thinking methods.

Yea what a bunch of assholes. While I fully support religious freedom they went way beyond their rights. I am VERY surprised cities haven't cracked down on them for assembly without a license. As soon as some "skateboard" kids hold signs outside of a corporation it gets shutdown with a quickness. When someone is protesting a dead loved one slurring hate speech? No big deal.

What is the Best of. . . ?
by Lady Lee inas jwd has grown over the years it has become more difficult to find a particular thread that had some valuable info in it.
i decided to create a a few topics that would help people find the gems that had been posted.. believe me i had no idea what i was getting myself into.. i started by focusing on the many early posters here and dug out their posts.
so the beginning of the project is indexed by a posters name.

Would Witnesses Kill If Ordered? Probably!
by metatron inas a functioning cult, would jehovah's witnesses kill someone, if ordered?
i believe that many would.. while some might think this is farfetched, i can cite some examples that manifest a lack of concern.
for the lives of others, that could easily be extended into murder or manslaughter.. 1) forcing older brothers into jobs at bethel that were far too strenuous for them - as a means of.

Anyone who thinks JW's would kill if ordered are in my opinion idiots. They are sheep but not those kinds of sheep. I could assume the same thing about people on this board. Psycho people do psycho things. JW's despite what we think are not psychos. Remember when Jim Jones went down he had men with guns threating death and executing those that didn't drink. Most of those people did not want to drink

"I realized racism isn't just a black and white problem. It's brought bloodbaths to about every nation on earth at one time or another. Brother, remember the time that white college girl came into the restaurant — the one who wanted to help the Muslims and the whites get together — and I told her there wasn't a ghost of a chance and she went away crying? Well, I've lived to regret that incident. In many parts of the African continent I saw white students helping black people. Something like this kills a lot of argument. I did many things as a [black] Muslim that I'm sorry for now. I was a zombie then — like all [black] Muslims — I was hypnotized, pointed in a certain direction and told to march. Well, I guess a man's entitled to make a fool of himself if he's ready to pay the cost. It cost me 12 years. That was a bad scene, brother. The sickness and madness of those days — I'm glad to be free of them."
I saw this quote by Malcolm X and thought how true that is of many JW's or anyone for that matter. They are pointed in one direction and told to march, never looking at what is actually happening. If many of them could only see what is REALLY going on they could work to change. Unfortunately Malcolm learned to late and was murdered for his beliefs. So many JW's refuse to work with non JW's on issues that are key to loving your neighbor. I don't know this quote just really struck me.
