is it me or is this kinda sick?

i mean i can understand learning from the account, but this is kinda deviant.

yourmomma

am i the only one that thinks this is waaaay worse than sparlock? i mean, these pictures are upsetting and distubing. its like they are really focusing on the violence with the kids stuff. is this what they were planning all along with the special stuff for kids? to bring out the most disturbing parts in the bible to scare them? i mean, you are suposse to sit down with your child and force him to read about a situation in which people are demanding Lot let them gang rape the men inside his house, and that lot instead offered to have his daughters be gang raped? look, i know the bible story book had some graphic pictures, but this is another level of sick. with all of the bible stories, why do these? whats next? connecting the dots of the pregnant women ripped open at the command of the all "loving" Jehovah? its rare watchtower does something that suprises me, this is really shocking.

EDIT: i missed page 3 of this thread, i am not the only one that thinks this is worse than sparlock, and i read a post that i think sums this up perfectly and i dont feel its it any way exaggerated:

"In my mind these guys on the Governing Body are worse than a pedofile when it comes to emotionally abusing very young children for compliance to their own selfish gratification.

These guys are real sickos with out a conscience."

Why I think (in a nutshell) why this org is approaching collapse

by cptkirk in

in a nutshell: i think that (and i do not enjoy thinking about this)...i think that the crazies within the religion (who range from just low level people to co elder do and up) have won so many battles at this point (over the more balanced people/ideas)......that the people who tend to think in a more balanced fashion (whether they themselves be low level or higher up) are getting to be the real minority.

i think this dynamic, will be what finally sinks the ship.. as we see with any organization (corporate or otherwise), many times there are reports that make you wonder (how is this thing alive or prospering?

), and upon closer scrutiny, there are strong people in the background holding the walls up (who themselves get little attention).

what captain points out is just one of the ways the watchtower is suffering, add the money drying up and the lawsuits, and they are in serious trouble.

this is nothing compared to what the government already does. if you upload a video they deem "terrorist" you go to freaking prision. if you make a comment about Mr O, you can get a visit from the SS as a kid in high school found out. if you simply own books they consider "anarchist" they raid your house with a swat team, bring you before a grand jury and if you dont talk, you rot in prision.

i used to think "wow things are really getting like 1984", but now getting is no longer accurate. things ARE like 1984. and its just going to get worse. and what i posted is like 1/1000 of the 1984 like things that go down.

i mean how about the fact that DHS claims that they can search or seize anyones electronics 100 miles from any US border. that makes like 1/4 of the country a "constitution free" zone. and they are about to unleash drones in our skies. this shit is over my friends. imo

"Jerusalem from above": Mother of Jesus Christ

by pixel in

i've never seen this before, from this week school review, question 8:.

why did jesus respond as he did regarding his mother and his brothers, and what does this teach us?

(mark 3:31-35) [feb. 18, w08 2/15 p. 29 par.

yourmomma

so this is clear the GB is higher than Jesus. he is their "Son". incredible, yet predictable.

just finished reading the Candace Conti court docs

by soft+gentle in

i had been reading discussions on topix about the case and decided to go see what was actually said and not said during the trial.

i'm left with several indelible impressions of the courage and honesty of candace and of her mother kathleen.. another thing is that the court was given the opportunity to really get a feel for the jw lifestyle.

the close family relationships they promote which emphasizes, for me, that if the elders had been as vigilant as they said they were they would have spotted that kendrick had become alarmingly close to candace.

yourmomma

those topix threads are some of the most disgusting things you will read on the internet. the length that the jw's go to defend not only the watchtower but Kendrick is throw up inducing. they go as far as deny Kendrick molesting his step daughter, something that is accepted by watchtower lawyers as basic fact. some of the jw posters on that thread really seem like they are either child molesters, or in some sick way maybe were molested as kids and in a stockholm syndrome type of way defend child molesters. and then if that is not bad enough the stuff they say about Candace on their is just shocking, and i am not a person that shocks often, especially when it comes to stuff JW's say. in cases like this, apostates dont need to do anything, just sit back and watch the JW's hang themself with their own words. those threads make jw's look straight up wicked. in those threads they straight up defend child molesting, acting as if Kendricks daughter seduced him and its her fault and had it coming because she was "promiscous". its just jaw dropping stuff.

dear brothers and sisters:.

subject: quick overview of storm damage.

subject: disaster relief update .

yourmomma

I dont know how good of PR it is if people are really paying attention, they are clear that they are only helping their own. and i find it comical that they think it would be a good witness to onlookers that they only help fellow JW's and all others can be left to fend for themselves.
