  Have to disagree with you being a JW is not a convenience.

  Think it's easy being weird?

  2. friends

  i get sick and tired of hearing the watchtower lie that they.

  They recently stated this in the WT 01.01.02 p 6-7

  Jehovah's Witnesses...have no clergy/laity division, they are not segregated according to skin color or wealth.

  I became ill when I read this bold face lie!
  Even hard core JWs know this is a lie.

  Are Flamers & Atheists More Mature Than JW's?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are ex-jws, flamers, agnostics and atheists more advanced spiritually and emotionally than fully-active jws?.

  this is how m.scott-peck describes the 4 basic stages of spiritual development.

  personally i can relate to stage 3 quite comfortably, but if i talk to a witness who may be a very devout and religious person i often feel as though this person is dragging me back into a lower stage, generally stage 2. what do you think?.

  Syn said:
  

  Stage V - The Drinker: People in this stage exhibit a communal, mystical spirituality, having been affected by looking through the bottom of a beer glass too much. They see the world through a golden-brown haze of alcohol, and are usually found preaching to people who don't want to listen to their message in pubs and bars across the country. If you look into their eyes, you will see a certain redness, the result of their extremely rigorous spiritual training and being part of the drinking community for too long. This stage is better than the lower stages because when they argue, they are usually too pissed to argue for more than 5 minutes wihtout falling off their barstool.

  Maybe, but I don't think this stage is necessarily part of our common human development. Everyone doesn't go through this stage just drinkers.

  I did this stage simultaneously with my atheist stage. So stages can over lap too!

  English ,
  These are stages many of us have been through. I was raised a Catholic. Then I was an atheist when the JWS came along.

  However, these stages may not happen in the order you describe. And each stage may be repeated more than once.

  Naeblis says:
  

  True, but you can't really compare Jesus to justamom can you? Jesus had a mandate and a mission. Does Justamom? Besides poking her finger into the Jw's eye?

  
  

  If you do not consider the witnesses the true religion, why would you go to their ceremonies and partake of something they consider sacred? Why not do it at home?? If not for the reason that you simply wish to cause trouble, and do not care who you bother. You are as bad as they are.

  
  This is so reasonable Im[:O}

  I don't believe this is the whole story . They probably made a scene at one time or another.

  In one cong I was in someone took the emblems and the brothers felt the speaker didn't do his job with the talk. He was welcomed back next year and they held their breath waiting to see if he partook.

  It is really weird to hear Israelies talk about terrorism. If someone occupied Texas and the people there resisted the occupation, would they be terrorists?

  If your real question is: Who are terrorists?
  Then the answer is the US government is the greatest terrorist at present. Is that what you want acknowledged?
