  Jonsson is a hero. I can't wait to see his summary rebuttal to these two articles.

  Quick letter to the ex for clarification...

  by DJPoetech in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read don cameron's book and got an idea on how to word a letter to the ex when certain expressions indicate she has no clue why i left the jws.... i would suggest "captives of a concept" to all who just want a simple way to explain to a witness why we don't go... although there are a ton of reasons..... here is snip of the letter.... you mentioned me getting reinstated the other day.

  i laughed because it was so funny to me.

  it also let me know that you really don't understand why i left the witnesses.

  its the most perculiar thing.

  i recall when i was in, i used to wonder how those disfellowshipped could live with themselves and thought that they must be the saddest and most depressed people on this earth.. how wrong i was.

  now that im one of this disfellowshipped ones my life has improved dramaticaly and im happier than i ever was.

  The ONLY time an adult could get what might be considered a bogus "child molester" tag is if you're talking about an 18 year old kid and his 17 year old girlfriend doing it consentually but he gets busted for it (I know a guy that happened to).

  Any time an ACTUAL child is molested by an adult, there is no defending the perpetrator.

  Has anyone ever read "How Green Was My Valley" by Richard Llewellyn? (GREAT BOOK, BTW) Set in rural Wales coal country one of the chapters discusses a case where a young girl is found dead - presumably raped and murdered. The locals do not call the English police. They find the perp, capture him and give him to the girl's father and brothers. That was the end of that child rapist. IIRC, they couldn't even find a trace of him.

  In my opinion he got no less than he deserved.

  Do any of you know any JWs who long for the new system so that Jehovah will fix their insides (that were ruined by a child rapist) so that they will be able to have babies of their own? I do. One of the dearest people in my life is such a person and I have almost NO HOPE of ever bringing her out of the Borg to freedom because of it. Talk about twisted. Rather than run screaming from the Borg who did nothing to protect her or to punish the man who raped her as a child, she puts EVEN MORE FAITH IN ITS LIES.

  I have no pity on child molesters. There is no excuse. Boo hoo because he carries around a criminal record? He's lucky to still be breathing.

  "Do not go beyond the things written"

  by hotspur in

  2. beliefs

  how many times did you hear that?

  it wasn't until i read with disbelief no room for george's pitiful statement about being proud to be a jw did i start to think of a simple of way of discrediting the jws... it needed a simple scriptural phrase that causes them to shoot their own foot!.

  so - how many different ways can you think of where jws have "gone beyond the things written"?.

  WE CAN DO THIS....if you think the idea is as good as I do!

  by Terry in

  i have long had an idea that i think is a very powerful tool in reaching even hard-nosed jw's.. .

  it would consist only of actual photographic scans of various documents, articles, photographs such as these from marvin shilmer's blog: (see next panel).

  there would be no extraneous non-official text whatsoever.. it would be published the size of an old life magazine and sent anonymously to jw's at their homes.. the cover would clearly contain the words: "all contents originally published by watchtower bible &tract society".

  I like the idea of mailing them but if you want to reach young people with their smart phones, just post them on the internet somewhere and then generate QR Codes (aka "tags") for them. Send the codes anonymously to any young JW you know and/or post them on pro-JW discussion boards and FB groups.

  Kids with a smart phone and code reader are going to click 'em, just to see where they lead.
