  Bill Bowen you should feel very honored to know that you and others using the Satanic Media are having such an obvious effect on these chicken-shits. Imagine, you scared them so much that they felt it necessary to include a warning in a district convention drama talk. Boy oh boy I sure wish I could buy you a beer! Kick butt Bill!

  "They streamed across the bridge to Brookl...

  the history channel had a spt.

  11 show on last night, and most of it was the same ol' same ol'---but something did catch my attention.. video was being shown of people evacuating lower manhattan, and the brooklyn bridge was filled to capacity with people.. the voice over says, "people fled every way they could--they streamed across the bridge to brooklyn.".

  now, i'm wondering, if you had just left ground zero and you were one of the ones runningon the bridge--and you saw a big sign that said--.

  Stop bashing the witnesses on this; they did the best with what they had.

  Sure they locked their doors like cowards but they have been condition not to trust the outside world so can you blame them? And anyway who wants a bunch of bleeding people covered in dust in the lobby? Could you imagine what a mess they would make of God house? This would not please him.

  You people are just so quick to criticize the Watchtower that you forgot the great acts of self-interest bravery the witnesses in fact perform at ground zero in the days after Sept 11. Sure lots and lots of people gave money, donated food, and gave changes of clothing to all the volunteers at ground zero, but have you forgotten that only witnesses were out there bringing comfort by selling placing spiritual food in the form of Watchtowers and Awakes. They even did a special reprint of a terrorist related issue so to help take advantage of vulnerable people, and join their cult draw close to God. And did anyone thank them for all this? No, not even the police, they told them to leave.

  Sure lots of Christendoms clergy and lay members were out freely giving of themselves but not one of them was selling placing Gods food at the proper time, and dont you forget that.

  ok here is my situation, i met this girl that is a jw....she is not that heavily into her religion but we talked for a long time face to face and she is very hesitant on attempting to start a relationship.

  so i have been researching for the past couple of days to undersatnd her religion and see if there is anything that i could use to dissuade her from saying no.

  so last night we talked about the ifs, and buts, and such stuff like that.

  DID YOU EVER LEARN anything because you were a JW?

  was there ever anything positive from being a witness?

  could you say that because you were a witness at least......or was it all negative?

  I have learned how very important it is to do independent research on anyone or any group that claims to have simple answers for lifes complex problems BEFORE joining their cause.

  I have learned that if you make the mistake of joining a cult such as the Watchtower, you and your loved ones will pay dearly for years and years to come.

  I have learned to no longer be been a sit on the sidelines type of person, I take action now as the Dark and Evil Tower has transformed me into a fighting soldier. I now activity fight the will of the Tower by exposing their duplicity and hypocrisy to anyone and everyone I can, and by promoting such causes as silent lambs.

  Yet somehow despite all these valuable lessons I have learned, I just cant bring myself to thank them.

  Years ago I dated a JW girl and it was for the wrong reasons. I was immature at the time and in retrospect the only reason I dated her was for well you know how guys are, and even that was weird.

  She would have me go places, like the parking lot of a restaurant, stop there and then bring her home. This was so she would not have to lie to her mom as to why she was getting home so late. She could just say we stopped here or there etc. after the movie or whatever. Strange, she could do stuff with a worldly boy that could get her DF, but she could not lie about it to her mom?

  Once I went with her to a Sunday meeting, bad idea. I got loved-bombed but it did not take at the time and I bailed after she kept pressuring me to get more and more involved with her religion.

  The good news is I saw her picture taken at some type of Born Again religious retreat up on the web a few months back. At least I know she is out of the WT cult, only hope her new religion is better, I sure it is as the WT is about as bad as it gets.

  My advise, not that you asked; enjoy the ride but just make it clear that you will never become part of this religion and if he balks at that even slightly, BAIL, Do not walk, RUN, get the hell out of there ASAP!

  Whats the dumbest thing you were counselled for?

  by Beck_Melbourne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was once counselled by the elders for watching 'knots landing'....it became widely known in the congregation that me and a few other sisters would rush home from field service to watch our favourite soapie.

  if we missed it, we would ring each other up for an update...or...if we weren't near a tv we would ask someone to put the phone handset on the top of their tv so we could hear it...pathetic huh...but that was all the excitement we could scrounge up in our otherwise dull and uneventful lives.

  one of the elder's wive's conscience got the better of her...and she confessed to her husband..lol.

  The dumbest thing I was ever counseled for was meeting attendance, and that was back in 1987. At the time I was missing a few meetings now and then because I had to fly quite a bit. I was told that I had to make a choice between regular meeting attendance and a very high paying consulting contract with NASA. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me that was paying off all my bills and would end in just another month.

  Thankfully I had the good sense to listen to wise counsel of these Elders and decide on a correct course of action for my family and me.

  I havent been to a meeting in years and these Elders are still busting their backs cleaning houses and washing windows for peanuts while I surf the net most of the day and get paid a six-figure salary.

  I cant thank these two Elders enough!

  My living Bible says all of Jobs kids had a birthday celebration, each and every one had their own special day. So I guess if it was OK for god-fearing Job, why not others?

  Which did you prefer? Watchtower or Awake?

  by LDH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a jw, i really couldn't stomach the watchtowers.

  the only articles i would read would be for the family study/watchtower study.

  it seemed so archaic and old-people-ish.. i did read the awake from cover to cover almost every time.

  AWAKE has my vote. We were told reading the information printed in AWAKE is just as good as a college education. Be sure to put that on your resume next time you go looking for a job that requires a college degree.
