I do not understand the rationale for adding the Watchtower cult religion of Jehovah's Witnesses. In most instances, it is the JW cult group that is at the heart of attaching others who are different from them. The extensive records of their literature speak volume about this. This raises an important question. Is the cult religion of JW aggressor or the victim?

there wouldn't have been any good way to hear the news i suppose.
it's just so strange to recall the conversation yesterday.
my "still in" parents are with me and my inactive sister having a pleasant conversation.

Thank you alot Billy the Ex-Bethelite for your caring attitude. It is a far cry from the 'mother'. I cannot imagine an organisaion that ruthlesly takes advantage of young people and then discard then as if they are trash. Even geting a job at Walmart requires a reference. The Watchtower Socieity with its many anti worldly bias is hardly a good one.

considering the way the wbts controls and manipulates people in its mental grip, is it logical to compare it to the the infamous german nazi party?
is this an exageration?
what parallel can be drawn between the two?
| The comparison is not fair because of the Nazi's extreme ruthlessness & disregard for life... | |

Their anti semitic and homophobic attitude aside, I think, there is strong resembrance to Watchtower socieity of Jehovah's Witnesses's present tactics of brainwashing, indoctrination and repression with that of Nazi Part of Germany.

their email address is: xxxxx.
and their message is:.
you probably would say, 'i didn't abandon him, i can still serve him on my own.
"You exchanged a 'rich spiritual heritage', like Esau, for a mere 'bowl of stew.'".
Really??????? This part of Esau's account is a horrow story. It does not ring true. How on earth can a mere bowl of stew be used to sell one's birthright? On a postive note, this person's email is an acknowleggement that of Watchotower document's substantial work in exposing that supposedly holy organisaton of Jehovah. It is nohing but a pedo paradise.
I would suggest you either come to your senses and actually be that humble person you portrayed yourself as and ask Jehovah's forgiveness and be restored to the congregation, or join another religion.
What is this person's religious affiliation or standing? Is he or she a wachtower apologist or something from within? Or he or she trying to hide the fact of his or her identity by suggesting that Barb 'join another religion'?
Whatever this person's motive, the Watchtower's action supressing women and protecting pedophile is indefensible and incomprehensible.

The JWS are a self devised kingdom of power and control constructed to place the power of god into dishonest disingenuous men. So just as the men who started this religion were so is the organization or the kingdom that they have established for themselves, false and corrupt at its core and foundation. | |

Hi Home,
Some of the substances of your statement above escaped my attention. Who is that 'god' you refer in the above context?
Scott77
i've often thought about it.
are these people witnessing jehovah or the watchtower.. in the abscense of solid proof that god is backing the watchtower they are only witnessing a group of men who beleive they have god's backing.. .

| They would have enjoyed questionings of their followers, like Jehovah did with Abraham.—Genesis 18:23-33 [contrast this with the treatment they gave to one Bethelite, who is a Gilead Graduate and MTS Instructor. While he was the Head of the Service Department, He questioned certain things he could not digest. He was relieved of all privileges. He is still in Bethel being literally put on a vegetative state. This happened when I was in Bethel—hence know its details. | |

they don't realize it but there is a pecking order.
you especially see it when the circuit overseer comes by.

OMG! What a condescending attitutde this Watcthower organisation is! In hindsight, it was a good favor and your best interest to be treated that way becuase, it eventually lead to you awakening to the TTATT.
