BASHING the families of disfellowshiped ones
by Pistoff in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
as if the first assembly day was not bad enough, talking about the greedy, fame hungry witnesses who go to college and will not get blessings from jehovah, sunday was worse.. .

i could tell the wife was not happy the minute she came through the door.

after letting her get her "lemonade" in a glass, i said, "so, no rough talks today?".

Do you wish SUFFERING on some human beings? Should you?
by BonaFide in
1. jw
2. experiences
with the recent illness of a gb member who has hurt many people, some have commented that they would like to have him suffer, various ways have been mentioned including having his mind fine, but his body suffering.. we all here have a hatred for child molesters, abusers, those who make others suffer.. and there are many examples in history as well.

hitler, josef mengele, john wayne gacy, and many others.. is it right to want them to suffer for what they have done?

should they be made to undergo the exact same suffering they inflicted on others?.
