  Islam More Lenient on Apostates than the WTBTS!

  islam more lenient on apostates than the wtbts!.

  this morning i came across this thought provoking comment in a cnn news article:.

  harris zafar, national spokesperson of the ahmadiyya muslim community usa, does not mince words on the subject, stating in a huffington post opinion piece that "islam prescribes absolutely no punishment for apostasy.".

  Farkel:

  There is not one reader in 10,000 that will read this entire thread.

  Count me as reader # 10,001, then!

  I'm loving this thread, and I agree with Farkel - would love to see your wonderful research bullet-pointed for simplicity, Miss Leo.

  You might have a problem when the conversation ends with your wife walking away from you...fingers in her ears.....yelling " Jehovah help me! Jehovah help me!"

  but when they end like that three times....it's strike three... or maybe it was strike #3,333,333.......but it is sad and painful for us both i know.....a person must be in a very very bad place to act like that in front a man you have loved and been intimate with for 15 years....and at that moment i am satan in front of her....a begging pleading attempting to reason satan...but still satan to her and her friends.....but this nice woman needs satan out of her life now....oompa.

  i am not a bad person...i am not satan...i asked her why she thought i had tried so hard....told her that if she was in a burning building just how hard would she think i would try to get her out??

  she did not like that analogy either...so i have started the painful process...the building is going to burn to the ground now....and i will never put her through that fingers in ears thing again.... and i will be fair and reasonable....and pay her the alimony and give her half....i could so be a satan to her in divorce....but i won't!...i can at least prove to them all that i am decent man...and not mentally diseased or satan.....and ahhhhh i feel good about that....plus both my boys are free now...

  Who's Cult is it Anyway...???

  by Bells in

  2. beliefs

  firstly - i am not, and never have been a witness.

  my bf's family are all witnesses and i have been looking into the religion lately to try to get a better understanding of where they're coming from.

  (btw, my bf is not a witness - he was thankfully never baptised and he just walked away from it about 13 years ago).

  I waffle between thinking the GB know perfectly well that they are running a mind-control group, and thinking they really believe they are the only ones chosen by God.

  Is there any way to really know for sure?

  Good luck to you, Bells!

  my daughter, ali, is back in the hospital.

  probably something wrong with her pacemaker.

  she had a cold with a bad cough last week, and a lead may have come loose.

  YOUR DAILY JOURNAL

  by compound complex in

  dear friends,.

  much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.

  however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

  I've been reflecting alot lately on how far I've come since leaving the Org.....

  I am fully out - mentally and physically. My children are out. In a very short time, I have adapted well.

  I am loving my life right now!

  True, not everything is perfect.......

  But I am constantly GRATEFUL for what I have, and I feel very deeply for the ones who struggle after leaving. I send angels of comfort and strength to you all every day.

  Thank you so much to everyone here for all the help, support and encouragement. Truly. (( CoCo ))

  I've lurked a long time: JW's produce some of the most paranoid humans

  by Unlearn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'll keep this brief for now.. long time lurker (4 years or so).. born-in, elder, used on district level (last talk i gave before i left was the baptisimal talk), and lots of hard time put in...before i finally made the move to split.

  it's a long stoy, much like many of yours...but with it's own little interesting twists.

  more details in the future, perhaps.. as i said, ive lurked here for a while.. its funny: for a long time i'd only come on late at night.

  I had just been disfellowshipped. By 3 men whom I didn't know and they didn't know me, in a city I had never been to the Kingdom Hall in. ( Search my story, if you're interested.....)

  All I got was a phone call saying the decision was to DF me, and nothing else.

  I wanted to know how to get reinstated. I went on the 'Net and came up with this site. Simon must have been on-line or something because I got in right away.

  I was crying and upset. Jamie Bowers was one of the first to respond and immediately pm'ed me her phone number. I called her that night.

  I will be forever grateful to Simon, Jamie and everyone else here who have supported and taught me so much.
