I would hope so Simon having been a guest on your forum (and thanks for that) since 2001 I don't think I have ever seen much of that 'slow to anger and understanding' type posters for those that have the proclivity to have some degree of a JW leaning in them.

Sure there have been gentle and considerate posters and even still some understandably angry ones and for the right reasons I'm sure- the thing that rags me and continues to do so- has been the consistent negative at any cost exJW comments, wherever and whenever on here and for whatever reason, it does choke out any serious conversation and just becomes a backslapping forum. I have watched many posters post and get annihilated for having any sense of a sniff of pro-Jwism in them or their posts- and get so awfully treated (Troll...being the kindest lob)

So no, I don't understand those despite how angry they are that want to disrupt a Memorial, and more importantly, I don't understand those who continue to not see that.

What's your degree of anti-JWness?

by Landy in

so, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is absolutely pro-jw, 5 is neutral and 10 is youtubing nutjob apostate, where do you stand?.

i'm probably around a 6. i have the view that jws are a nothing marginal religion.

if i hadn't been brought up as one i doubt they would have ever entered my consciousness.. the reasons it's a 6 and not a 5 is that i have some concerns over their child baptism and safeguarding procedures, but i think it's down to them being a bit dim rather than any pro child abusing ethos.

Hate the sinner not the sinned is good- kinda sums up me really.

no- I just still remain very concerned for you azor after all these years.......I truly do. To think this is acceptable strikes to me as not quite right. There truly is freedom in walking away.

I will never agree this is acceptable.

And lets cut the 'my judgemental' eh?

probably a 3 Landy- I do agree with much that they say......but have no love for the 2 witness rule or their stand on homosexuality.

Young People Ask: I’m Attracted to the Same Sex—Does That Mean I’m Gay?

by pale.emperor in

eurgh!

more patronizing and uninformed reasoning from the "experts" at bethel.

this time tackling the sensitive subject of those attracted the the same sex.

ScottyRex

I am gay and pro JW. I just wish the WTBS and GB would stay the way outta of the hell of trying to explain what it means to be 'gay..

How do JW's determine a person is anointed?

by thinker11 in

i've always wondered about this.

when a person believes they made a spiritual connection with god and proclaims themselves as anointed, how do they determine whether this person is anointed or not.

does a group of elders look at the person's spiritual resume and check off the person's pioneer stats, bible knowledge, attendance, work ethic, personality, etc and then believe in the person if they have a good track record?

ScottyRex

but then I was full of questions back then.
