  Personal Attacks

  by Band on the Run in

  recently, i showed a great deal of vulnerability by posting that severe pain had popped out again and my morphine pump needs some tinkering.

  it seems i am attacked with some frequency for posting here but other frequent posters are not.

  rather than discuss the merits of a subject, some people engage in personal attack.

  Attacking people because of their views or opinions is something the Borg constantly does and it is encouraged throught the various king dumb halls.

  Dennis Wilbur Goetz aka Misty Goetz arrested - child solicitation ...

  by talesin in

  this article from the winona daily news ... .

  it is my understanding that this man has been frequenting some of the exjw sites under the name of misty m. goetz.. .

  goetz was convicted of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in 1984, but from that time until his wifes death in early 2012, she had kept a close eye on his sexually deviant behavior, the complaint said.

  Are you approved to report (from the km for july)

  by therevealer in

  yes indeedy.

  if you are fortunate enough to be approved you can report (as in be allowed to report) 15-minute increments.

  i knew that older ones, for example, were encouraged to report even the smallest amount of service and the cong.

  They want time counted as a means of control. Then when all that time is added up it provides a means to pat themselves on the back. A year befor I became inactive I didn't turn in time. When asked why told the idiot hounder it was not scriptural. Found out they had been putting an hour down for me and I told him it was not right and to quit doing it.

  twelve reasons for preaching.

  why do we preach and teach the good news?

  is it primarily to help honesthearted people onto the road to life?

  It's typical putting bs in the form of needing to go d-d. They always twist and turn scripture to fit their conceived nonsense.

  Not disfellowshipped, not shunned by JWs, but my Bro's Family? That's a whole different story...

  so my niece was disfellowshipped about 18 months ago for having a worldly boyfriend who was obviously staying over at her place on a regular basis.

  they now have a house together an are going strong.

  her boyfriend is a nice guy.

  IMO, you should have embrassed them in front of the unsuspecting other people there, by saying out loud what was on your mind. They should be ashamed of themselves but are too ate up with the cult.

  JW Study, close to baptism, begins to ask questions following our conversation

  by uk_ex_jw in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i will keep this brief.. a jw study who recently contacted me on facebook, has been to the elder's following a conversation with me in where i outlined my reasons for leaving the wt society.. he originally started asking me why i wasn't a jw anymore and how important it was that i returned to the 'truth' and how the devil was ruling the world and turning people against jehovah's people etc etc.

  he was, as you would expect, full of beans and enthusiastic about what he was learning and telling me how he couldn't wait to get baptised now.. he was studying years ago - that is how i knew him.

  since then he has been off doing his own thing and now they have managed to rope him back again.. i have explained to him that i do not believe that jw's have the truth, sent him video's, and other evidence, about the paedophilia situation, un scandal, links to the mason's, changed doctrines regarding blood/generation and so forth.. he sent me a reply and said that he wasn't sure anymore and that he agreed with me that the wt society was controlling.

  Years ago was able to stop a couple studying with info from old bound volumes. Then I told him to ask study conductor to show how imperial (that the term) proof that the society was chosen in 1919. And not to take the word of the elder but to show actual proof, well he did and he and his wife stopped the study as they couldn't show proof.

  New US Government Petition re: Cults and Tax Exemptions

  by mind blown in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  this is on the official us government site.. note: someone was under the impression this was unconstitutional and it wouldn't pass, however, steven unthank replyed that tax exempt status (re: usc title 26 501 tax exemptions requirements) is not a constitutional right and can indeed be regulated by the us government through the irs.

  freedom of religion does no mean freedom from tax.

  I heartily agree with Okage, tax them, tax all churches, why should they get a free ride? Churches use public utilities, roads, etc. tax them all. then it will truly be indiscriminant. another good point is have all churches and nonprofit organizations show what come in and what goes out, and specifically what it goes out for and is used for.
