What other creature is finding it sporty to kill it's own kind, what other animal backstabs those how love them, what other beast rejoices in giving you hope then destroying you very soul instead? I don't really know but to me the only thing that makes us different is ability to bulshit our way out of anything nasy we do to someone else and in doing so find like-minded evil morons to support us instead of telling us off.

Yes we are animals through and through

don't take this wrong i appreciate kind words or good advice from anyone.

got lot's of nice pm's recently from some concerned ones here this week....but i got two from a jw lady, that i had explained i had some lingering issues with being taught me and my parents would never get old and die....among other things....she said:.

i don't recall ever being told i would never die.

Luka

I've been asked same question the other day. So I said, yes it gave me education instead of useless theocratic school, girlfirend to die for instead of damaged psycho who grew up in the cult and purpose in life instead of slavery, what else could I ask for?

Did being a JW make you overly judgemental?

by Frequent_Fader_Miles in

looking back, being a jw meant constantly analyzing and categorizing others.

on field service, persons were either "sheeplike" or "goatlike".

in the congregation it went even further.

Luka

Yes there was quite a scandal in Germany if my memroy serves me correctly few years back when some publisher lost one of those house 2 house slip and on it were remarks about people such ase "goat" "possible sheep" "goat" "hopeless" etc. What do you call that? They are being taught that priching work is in essence chategorizing of people, so what else do you expect?

Don't want to sound like watchtower but I'm pretty convinced Global Warming is real and we are all going down the toilet. Life will find the way as someone said but I'm afraid without us. Though when I think about it we were/are real parazites and as such will finally met out end when nature balances itself. It will be armageddon but not from god, planet itself will in a way vomit us out.

I've got several old Led Zep albums, this year I hope to get phonograph so I can play them. No just kidding, I don't know, I guess whatever someone gives from the heart is always the best, I hate telling people what to get me that spoils all the fun.

A JW Nuclear Scientist

by inkling in

i ran across this article of the official jw website today.i vaguely remember reading it when it was first printed inthe wt.

the nuclear physicist (with a doctorate from a unnamed school)telling his story unabashedly defends the witness world view and stand on scientific fact and recorded history.http://www.watchtower.org/e/20040122a/article_01.htmit was articles like these that successfully kept my doubtssubmerged for many years.

here are some of the more interesting quotes:when my wife informed me of this arrangement, i immediately opposed her.

just to summarize:.

>>Is the Watchtower Society in serious financial diffiCULTy?

I don't know, but considering how often they reminded us over the years to 'support interests of the kingdom' would fit quite nicely into what you just described. As Bond would say "The world is not enough"
