Somehow I wanted to quote in a box, but mozilla won't let me.
I just feel that JWism ruined my life. My parents screwed me up. But I'm smart! :)
what do you think?
were you raised as a jw and feel you suffered no ill effects?
or do you feel it had a negative impact on your life?.

according to the feb 2009 kingdumb misery, this is the title of the new hounder-hounder talks for public talks starting march 1. now, i can only imagine worldly fantasies include having a family, a reasonable measure of health and security, and being able to live a decent life.
kingdumb reality means throwing your life away out in field circus, attending boasting sessions, dutifully studying washtowel publications every tuesday all evening, and dying stagnant and having produced zero value in your own life.
and don't forget college! they see geting a good education and a well-paid job as 'worldly fantasy' too. eve when i was in i never 100% agreed with them. i hated that one hounder said mrriage is bad and pioneering is better! UGH!
wow, i've just seen my wife's copy of the jan 09 new format kingdom ministry.
can they get any more controlling?.
how to handle every part is detailed giving absolutely no room for any personal input or freedom to express any ideas other than copyrighted watchtower thinking.. .
homerovah, their techniques for siezing the citizenry for watchtower slaves is rather devious. like attacking old ladies. they're too weak in the faith to try to convert a catholic priest. have they tried converting the pope or a world leader? who knocks on the doors of the kremlin or the whitehouse or the parliment? hmm...

saturday, december 27, 2008why can't i be a jehovah's witness?in reflecting on my time as a jw, one thing that elders and circuit overseers would frequently say is: "we aren't like other religions.
AAAAAAAAH! it's OBVES the retarded prophet! this dork is/was on anti-jw usenet groups.
the three greatest teachings of jesus.
are all cancelled out by the practices and teaching of the fds.
jesus gave three outstanding examples of what it is to be a follower of his and the actions and mindset that you should have, all three of these teachings or example's are diminished by the practices of jw's.
the dubs are the REAL apostates! hehe!
great quote kinjiro! i saw the whole speech on youtube! XD
theism in its various forms has been since the beginning subjected to psychological analysis and treated as a phenomenon of the human mind.
perhaps it is time to turn the lens and examine the psychological reasons for atheism as well.
this approach should be especially inoffensive to many atheists/materialists since in their worldview, all phenomena are reducible to natural causes.
that vitz is a quack! he likes freud, who was an atheist! atheism is NOT self-woship. theists think atheism is some kind of religion, which it ISN"T! btw, my dad is reason 1: he's a wuss. my mum runs the family and my dad has no balls to confront her. he LETS he run things.

interesting. but i became an atheist cos my prayers were never answered! and the idea of a god is cazy and unscientific.
the way dad is so anti-science you'd know why i love science!
i knew many people that were in need of assistance within the congregation that never got helped because the "friends" were more focused on getting their field service time in as opposed to helping those within the "brotherhood".
were you one of those ever in need that got ignored because the brothers and sisters were more involved in "theocratic" pursuits?.
were you one of those that routinely ignored the needy because you had more important spiritual responsibilities to take care of?.
i hated how my mum aked for monetary assistance. and they wanted the money back. they were so greedy. seems they only gave (loaned) $40. :P my mum was one of those who occasionally helped older ones but was/is really in need of help. we need money for food and no one helps! i hate that!
