  Xenu, and the danger of his UFO cult posts

  by seven006 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  before i go into the explanation of what xenu is trying to do on this board and presenting the information about his cult i would like to express my agenda up front and absolutely clear.

  this board is now just shy of 5000 registered users.

  i'm sure the amount of unregistered lurkers drives that figure up much higher, possibly more than double.

  Question about jw women and prayer.

  by jerome in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a thread that i read recently i think is saw something about jw women putting a rag on their head and showing respect to men while they are praying.

  this sounds like a really silly question to ask but i just want to make shure that it was just a joke an put my mind at ease.

  if i am mistaken please dont laugh too hard.. jerome.

Come to think of it I have never seen a jw pray before. That seems odd to me is there a reason for that?

  Wrong type alternative service

  by Yadirf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  quoted below is the testimony of an ex-jw (one of the posters here) who faced the draft in the '60s.

  notice the form of "alternative service" that he would've been required to do had he been drafted.

  not civilian, but as one who would work in a military hospital ... which would be aiding the war effort -- a breach of one's neutrality.. .

  If your id is yadirf do not reply to this post as it is addressed to the rest of the board.

  Today this guy hit an all time low in my mind. What little respect I would have had for him as in terms of standing up for his beliefs has been totally eroded by his display of unbelievable ignorance and hypocrisy today.

  I never thought that they were people that could stoop this low anywhere alive on earth.

  We all agree that war is a bad thing and that we would love to never have to fight another war again but with tyrants and madmen taking up leadership positions in the world we have no alternative.

  I once though JWs were a queer but harmless religion that were just like any other christians. But on finding out that they can produce people that think like this guy and have absolutely no respect for the sacrifice of others that has struck a nerve.

  I just cannot imagine how someone could knowingly benefit from the hard work, effort and even lives of others and then turn around and condem the ones who fought to ensure his freedom as they were the scum of the earth.

  I have realized that Yadirf is beyond reason, beyond intregity beyond hypocrite. I have never come across anyone who has stooped to as low as a level as he has today.

  Please donot respond to me because I couldent care less about what you say from now on.

  This guy has truly displayed a character and an attitude that truly only his mother could love. With the utter disrespect for other lives that he has shown today I can barely consider him to be a person.

  A part of me wishes that I could some how take you to some alternate universe to this one to an earth where the Nazies won the war. And then abandon you there and then see how long you would last there with the attitude towards the lives of others that he has today.

  You cannot reason with him, you cannot trust him you cant understand him soits best that I ignore him.

  I have nothing more to do with him because it appears that he is beyond help.

  im shure that most of you could have thought about this.. there is always some nagging feeling that you have that says:.

  im i gonna die at armagaddon?.

  its just human nature i guess.. how do you put that silly nagging feeling out of your mind?.

  Ok larc...

  poor, little, young, inexperienced, niave me couldent possibly be able to even grasp the concept of pain.

  But anyway this is my reasoning.

  If I dont her to come to her senses soon then everything that I have said now will most likely dawn on her sometime in the future.

  I had a moral obgligation to try my best and I did. Nnd I continue to do so.

  Realistically I dont think that she will do anything rash in the near future but at least I feel better knowing that she has a better chance of not falling into the trap.

  Mabe when I am your age that i'll look at younger people the same way that you do but as for right now I just dont get why it is that you have such a trivialistic opinion of my issues.

  Ok I am young, no I dont know it all, no I cant look at things the same way that you do, no my trivial experiences can compare to your life works but that does not mean that I cannot care for somebody enough to try very hard to prevent them from making a mistake. Especially one as big as this.

  As far as my experience on this board I detect a pattern of people making up their minds about you before you really get a chance to express yourself, some people are just like that I gues.

  As far as I can see opionions have been established and minds have been made up from the time I got here. And they arent going to change anytime soon. But no matter, I have an agenda and I am going to stick to the plan.

  I am trying to keep my goals realistic ( thats if a guy my age understands what realism is) and will continue to work to acheive my goals.

  Comming to this message board is but a minor inconvience compared to what anyone will have to go through after finding out that they entire outlook on life has got to be readjusted. I know alot of jws personally and i'll do as much as reasonably possible to inform them about the errenous decision that they are making.

  If it were me I would want somebody to do the same.

  Just doing my part.

  I know what the Watchtower is already.

  But what i really want to know is how peole deal with that nagging dissonat feeling.

  I know i'm right but I dont think that i'm to proud that it may not be impossible for myself to be in error. And given the magnitude of the decision knowing how other people deal with it could give me some peace of mind.

  Again I say

  I know that they are wrong but...

  Is there any way that you could think of that they could be right?

  ps I tend to lean towards orthodox protestant so Catholic is out for me.

  What if they were right?

  Its just human nature I guess.

  How do you put that silly nagging feeling out of your mind?

  Come on, tell us your secret.

  p.s In anticipation of humerous responces I put this thread in the Jokes and Humor section. But that dosent mean that this can be a serious thread though.

  2. friends

  thank you, thank you, thank you for making me see that i'm wasting my time being in a world of bitter, twisted, self-absorbed people and helping me to wake up to the benefits of being a jehovah's witness!

  if any of you come back with the ol - the jw's are full of bitter, twisted, people (in the most stupid arse voice of course!

  ), i'll reply, yeah, but not as rampant as the rest of the world.....call me crazy if you like, i don't care, because it's my salvation i'm worried about not yours....you've thrown it away because you can't see the bigger picture....trials and tribulation will always abound in this day and age...it is proving like job that we are not discouraged by the trials that gains us the most happiness because we know the trials won't go on much longer and jah will repay us 100 fold for our pain....that's a damn good reward to me!
