  Calgary Bomb at convention

  by javagal in

  i have just received a call from my parents who were at the calgary convention with my daughter and apparently everyone was evacuated as there was a bomb in the stadium.

  i am not a jw any longer but this sort of behavior does nothing but put the people responsible on the same level as the jw's and give them something to oooh and aaahh over how the stadium was evacuated in 14 minutes 12 seconds blah blah blah and how this is such a testimony to jehovah's working of a visible organization.

  it is just causing fear and we all know how jw's thrive on fear and playing the martyr.

  well i promised myself i wasn't going to let my jw parents in on what the borganization is holding back from them but i did it today anyways... i couldn't stand one more minute of their "wonderful" religion and how terrific it all is so i said that i was watching the news (this forum is quite informative - could be called news :) ) and then told her the entire story about the un and the jw's involvement with it.... but of course she can't believe that and if it is true there must be a reason for it.

  i said i couldn't think of any reason to be part of the "disgusting thing"....that was completely true i didn't tell her that the disgusting thing was the wtbts not the un... so anyways long and short of it is that she is going to have to wait and see if it is tru.

  she is certain the watchtower will explain why very soon and if not it doesn't matter she knows that she is in the right organization.

  Does anyone get scared?

  does anyone who has left the organisation ever get scared at current world events and what they seem to be leading to?

  more and more the governments are getting fed up with religion, there is now more than even a call "for" peace rather than "of" peace and security.

  bin laden and his extremist religious views would give rise to the thought that governments will in the future be intent on eradicating religion altogether due to the trouble it causes.

  What are apostates?

  by mindfield in

  first off, let me tell you that i don't view you guys, or myself, as apostates.

  that word somehow carries along with it a negative sense of destruction and hate.

  what i'm wondering is, what is an apostate then?

  well, i have been reading and lurking around this site for a little bit now.

  in truth i have a friend that is a christian and he has tried to get me to look at sites like this for the past 10 months.

  i have always refused as it is all "apostate run" and just "packed with lies".
