  you start a "normal" conversation like....i complimented a brother on having 8 grandchildren....he got a sad look in his eye and said:"yeah, well i wish it was in the new system.

  " {i guess they are all doomed to destruction} i honestly was stumped.

  How true it is and very depressing as well trying to talk to them. My father once said to my mother and I, back when I was still in, that he wanted to call my nonJW sister every day and say goodbye because the big A might come and she would be killed. That was the very first time I started having doubts. He went from being a very upbeat positive person to a person who acted like a whiped puppy, so so sad.

  Where to appropriately focus and direct our anger (and more importantly - how)

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a tangent from another thread where angry responses to jws was a side-topic.. my opinion is that it is important to remember that the rank and file jw is a victim of the cult and that focusing our anger on any of them individually is doing them a disservice for two reasons:.

  1. their behavior, thoughts, and feelings are not their own and are only informed by the borg.

  it isn't just or appropriate to attack those who are victims just like many of us were.. 2. opposition, especially angry opposition, reinforces the false information that the borg has indoctrinated in them: that one of the proofs they have "the truth" is that they are persecuted.

  For the most part I agree that the WBTS are the oens that desirve our anger, however I do believe that on the personal level many JW's are just plain rude and often hateful. Anyone can believe what ever way they want but when they, in their own heart and mind, think they are better than others and then act rude, hateful, and condesinding towards others/us then they desirve our anger as well.

  "Jehovah has really blessed me."

  i was at dinner with witness friends last night when one of the guys started that up.

  i kept my mouth shut, let him have his say for a while; it's good to feel gratitude and i'm glad for him that he feels so blessed, but never, even in my most "spiritually healthy" days have i boasted like that.

  finally, i spoke up with "how do you think that makes me, almost unemployed and struggling these days, feel?

  If one of us apsotates or a worldly person was to have great things happen in their life don't the JW say that it is Satan rewarding them?

  10 good reasons why celebrating birthdays should be allowed

  i cannot take credit for any of the gems below but i did want to polish and organize them.

  much of the information was borrowed from this thread.

  if you can come up with any more, please post them.. the bible does not ban birthdays.

  Sweet, are you sure you want to hold to this position? If you want to agree with the JW's on the point that if something has in any way a connection with even a slight pagan origen then you and the JW's have a lot to answer for. Just re-read the thread and reasearch what every one has said about things the JWs allow that have pagan connections, and see if you are being consistant or dare I say honest.

  And as for celebrating a birthday really worshiping a false god, that is pure rubish. To worship a god, false or otherwise is a deliberate act, you can not worship by accident. If you believe the JW's to be correct and want to support them that is ok, and most here will respect that, however please be honest with yourself and hold the JW's and yourself to the same standard which you hold everyone else.

  So does that mean that they have to be born in JW's otherwise they would have defiled themselves with Babylon.

  Good!

  While I don't personally like abortions to occure, it is not up to me to decide for someone else. This guy is just a murderer looking for an excuse.

  It is so very pathetic, they will always they are persicuted for serving Jehovah, Total BS they are only "persicuted" for acting like asses and treating people like poop!

  Besides telling somone that you don't agree with them is not persicution. One day it might be interesting to see some JW really percicuted, only I would not wish that upon anyone.
