To Angel Eyes & Other WT Apologists

by snowbird in

friends

it has come to my attention that a much-beloved poster on this forum has been hurt by the insensitivity shown toward her account of how badly she was treated by the wt.. i realize this is a place where are all welcome, and barring any posting guidelines violations, we are free to air our views without fear of any backlash.. however, please keep in mind that most posters here - yours truly being one of them - view the wt in a negative light.

with all the evidence out there pertaining to its deceitfulness, how can anyone view it otherwise?.

i reached out to you, angel eyes, because i sense that you need a friend.

I'm trying to quit you. But I just have to speak up right now. One of the die hard apologists sent me an email and admitted to spelling badly on purpose to sift through everybody. We were on fairly good terms as far as pm'ing goes. But when I told him/her it wasn't cool to spell so terribly in order to see whose sincere (because I consider myself super duper sincere and I HATE sloppy spelling!), his/her remarks back didn't even answer what I confronted them about! Everybody SHOULD be allowed to say whatever they want on here, but I totally think some make comments just to stir things up.

To all the Christians on here...

i realize you believe the bible is the truth.

do you believe it is the only truth?

i wonder how you feel about other major religious books, like for other religions who have and never will be christian.

I realize you believe the Bible is the truth. Do you believe it is the ONLY truth? I wonder how you feel about other major religious books, like for other religions who have and never will be Christian. Do you believe they are lost? Or do you think they ALSO have truth?

shepherding visits.....were they?

by angel eyes in

we have friends who say that they have had some awful shepherdings,the things theyve been told in them were far from encouraging.. we havent ever had one so to be honest i cant comment...but would love to know if you had one?

were they regular and were they ever encouraging?

?.

homeschool

Blue, that breaks my heart. The only time the elders came to visit me, they were trying to find a way to DF me. (didn't work). My parents get regular sheparding visits, and I'm fairly certain all that is said is "women must be submissive to the husband. Oh, and please start your meds again"
