  Jesus Camp

  by Wordly Andre in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did anyone see the movie called jesus camp?

  it was on bio channel last night, very creepy these poor kids are so deep in this cult like christian religion.

  my wife and i were shocked at what they put these kids through, there is this one part where they are talking about how evil harry potter is and if he was alive back in jesus time he would have been put to death, then later these kids are talking about harry potter and one kid says that his mom won't let him watch it but when he stays with his dad he watches it, all the kids look at him with this "oh my god he is the devil" look, this movie is a documentary and reminds me of that movie saved.

  What should I do with all of these books?

  by Confession in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while growing up, my dad maintained a rather huge wts library.

  i liked the idea of being able to pick out one of those old books from the1940s or earlier and read what they were saying back then.

  well for the first time, in september of 2006 at the age of 40, i finally became a home-owner.

  Other than keeping historically relevant books, here's a few ideas I have for them:
  
  This could be an economically advantageous situation you have here. With the raise in gas prices, everything is going up these days, even toilet paper. Now, I know what you are thinking. "Wiping my butt with Watchtower pages is not going to be very pleasant." But have you tried it? I mean, have you really given it a chance? I would liken it to switching from Charmin to Scott, no worse than that surprisingly. You see, Scott toilet paper is not thick and soft, it is smooth and kind of shiny, just like Watchtower paper. You get used to it much quicker than you might think. Now, if you have a hankerin for paper that is more fluffy, look no further than your shelf of WT books. But, you might want to look at books pre-1970s. You see, the paper was thicker then and had more of a texture. My testimony here is that I actualy prefer the newer stuff, being raised a Scott man as I was. But in a pinch, no pun intended, that thick old yellowing paper does a might good job at cleaning out all those crevices. So, consider using WT toilet paper. If you do, it will all work out in the end.

  One of my students is transgender ( the school staff refers to him as gender confused). He is one of the healthiest people I know mentally speaking.
  
  As far as suicide goes, I've been on the verge many times, directly associated with my JW situation. It hurts leaving a cult. It really, really hurts. I'll never be over it. Never. It changed me drastically. A part of me, a very large part, died, and things will never be the same again. I think it is a fair estimation to say that there is a direct correlation between JWs and suicide.

  One Reason Why I Worship the God of the Bible

  by snowbird in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while this may be construed as a rebuttal to nvr's thread re: why i post about atheism, that is not my intent.. it is my intent, however, to show how i developed a belief in and love for the god of the bible.. my paternal grandfather, who died before i was born, was a baptist preacher, so you could say i cut my teeth on the bible.

  i loved having it read to me, and once i learned how, reading it for myself.

  i'm convinced that spirituality runs deep in my blood.. i've always had such a strong sense of right and wrong that injustices make me literally sick.

  Of course my previous post was just my opinion, so I hope you don't take it personally. Still, I am just the messenger here. It's common sense that is knocking here and saying, "Hey you! Wake up! It's not OK to murder infants and toddlers, even if you are god. Isn't that the most vile thing a god could do? How is it that you can agree with stoning children to death, having bears come and rip and tear children to pieces just because they made fun of a stupid old man? Am I crazy to say that is just the sickest thing ever?
  
  I mean, if god told you to rape and torture a child, would you do it? If you say yes, you are just plain sick and there is no hope for you. If yopu say no, then you are at odds with the god you worship. People create gods to resemble themselves. If you are like god and god is like you, then you are a homocidal maniac just like him. Right? Is there something I'm missing here? Someone please set me straight if I am out of line.
  
  If more people in the first few centuries after the age of pices began, had reacted to the Bible like me, then the Bible would never have gained popularity, and thousands of wars would not have taken place and millions and millions of lives would have been spared.
  
  The proof that people invent gods that resemble themselves is that just like the god of the Bible, people who worship the god of the Bible and claim to love him have committed the most vile and disgusting atricities in all of history. Atheists like myself have committed zero. So who is more loving, atheists or peiople who worship the god of the Bible?

  So, you love a god who is: racist, genocidal, killer of infants, angry all the time, prone to temper tantrums (like when he swept all the pieces off the table because he was losing the bet he made with Satan. I'm referring to the flood, Sodom and Gomorra, Job and a few other stories, myths and legends.)
  Continuing: making rape victims marry their rapist, having children stoned to death by their own parents for being rebellious (when he designed teenagers specifically to be rebellious, which is a natural stage of development), has a weird sense of justice and forgiveness in that he must slaughter someone (his son or some beast) before he can forgive, came not to bring peace, but the sword, tortures people for all eternity for sins they make in one lifetime, invented disease, invented war and repeatedly reccommends that his people wage it even though he could easily solve problems peacefully (him being all powerful and such). Anyone else want to pick up this list where I left off?
  Conclusion: anybody who loves the god of the Bible is a very sick and disgusting person, not to mention: delusional, ignorant, immoral, dangerous, confused, clueless, senseless, twisted and insane. Let me see, could I state that in even harsher terms? I'll leave it at that for now. Oh, and "capable of believing just about anything," or naive.

  How do you confront someone abusing their daughter?

  by Paralipomenon in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  seeing how child abuse has affected many people here, i am hoping for some advice.

  we have friends of our family that have it on good authority that a father is abusing his four year old daughter.

  he's always seemed rather creepy to me, which is a bit of the problem.

  You do not confront the suspect, you call Child Protective Services immediately, and let them handle it. If you feel the child is in immediate damger, you call the police right away. We have learned these lessons from JWs not reporting, so people on this board should really be straight on this.

  There are some grammar problems with this story that the author might want to fix if he/she wants to sound credible, most notably:
  
  "None of the Watchtower’s "Sister Companies" fabricate neither bombs nor ammunition of any kind."
  
  It should be of course: None of the Watchtower’s "Sister Companies" fabricate either bombs or ammunition of any kind.
  Since the sentence starts with the word "none," the double negatives "cancel each other out" so that you end up saying the exact opposite of what you mean.

  Sunday's public talk...

  by kzjw in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  went with the wife this week for the public talk (i simply will not sit through the watchtower study), the subject was about how poorly governments are taking care of thier people in disasters.

  the speaker(who had a british accent) started by saying "burma(myanmar) had 2 tsunamis and the government sent flat screen tv's as aid for the refugees..." needless to say this dillweed lost me for the next 30 minutes of his talk about how man can't care for god's people.

  i left during the study as always and returned at the end of the meeting, still burning over the glaring lie told by this "brother" which by the way no one even batted an eye in the congregation!

  One of the last meetings I went to the brother said that it was the fault of people that natural disasters happen, and he gave the example of people living in Bangladesh where they KNOW there are lots of floods but they live there anyway which apparently, according to him, makes them accountable before Jehovah for being unwise in their choice of where to live. So if everybody moved out of Bangladesh to where there were no floods, there would be no major disasters there. I approached the brother afterward and asked him if Jehovah would hold him accountable for living where he knows major earthquakes occur (Los Angeles.)
