Alan,
***** A third and large category are those who do not realistically expect the Watchtower relgion to go away anytime soon, and want nothing to do with it, but who have family and friends who remain abused JWs. We in that category work for reform with realistic expectations. *****
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

i was reading constitutional law today in an attempt to find out if secular law and religious law intertwined in some way and i came across this: i thought you might find it interesting: .
the example of the conscientious objector remains relevant today and may be used to illustrate the continued proper application of the free exercise clause in the context of modern society.
in thomas v. review board,[46] eddie thomas, [page 56] a member of the jehovah witnesses who was conscientiously opposed to war on religious grounds, was transferred by his factory employer to the line manufacturing turrets for tanks.
Hi Dutchie,
Thanks for posting this.
In my view though, there is not enough information to make an informed judgement or give an opinion.
For instance, what were the circumstances that brought about the change in duties. What kind of work was available for the skills this brother had at the time? What year did this happen? etc.
It is though an interesting topic.
Thanks,

Seaken2001,
First of all, Lincoln did NOT go to war to abolish slavery! The South wanted to secede, Lincoln said "No"!
Continued heavy-handed action on the part of the WTS could indeed trigger such events. It is a logical and appropriate warningTell me, what evidence is there that the Watchtower has taken seriously any warnings published in this venue? Sure the U.N. and the Pedophile issues have garnered their attention but only because it became a public matter. More than "warning" the Watchtower this thread may just as you said, "indeed trigger such events"!!

Lee Elder,
I have family, close family members attending the JW meetings. If some disgruntled xJW or the husband of a JW should bomb their hall causing them injury, claiming your post encouraged them, making them feel that this was the only way to get justice....
Sir, I would hire a lawyer and seek to hold you accountable!
This is not a game, violence is wrong and the suggestion that the Watchtower may deservedly be heading towards having violent acts perpetrated against them is irresponsible!!

Hmmm,
When extremists in the U.S. have blown up buildings etc., there is much discussion about the indirect culpability of the leaders of subversive groups who spoke of violence towards the Government as something that was almost inevitable, due to the grievances of many towards the Government etc.
Violence, or the hint of the "rightness" or inevitability of violence is NEVER excusable! Even by xJWs!

Stephanus,
Please reread this quote: "Society have begun to bear rotten fruit. I suspect that it is just a matter of time before the need arises to coin some phrase to describe disfellowshipped or disassociated Jehovah's Witnesses who bomb conventions, shoot up Kingdom Halls or even attack Bethel facilities."
There are some people who have been hurt so much AND who may be unable to reason properly for whom the above words could very well become a CALL FOR ACTION!
"Blindness" is not limited to JWs! It is everywhere!!

Are you trying to encourage violence?

Hi Bitter Mango,

Hi Bitter Mango,
i just think it's rude to hijack someone's welcome back thread with meaningless threats and harsh comments
Hey all did you miss me?
Root Bound I am!
I left the JWs. Came online.
Baby food for the "retarded", me!
Now what!
Waiting! Need some intellectual input!
