  Should we still be angry with the Watchtower? Should we "forgive" the WT?

  Let's look at it from the other side. If YOU foul up, do they 'forgive' you? No - they would probably 'disfellowship' your hind end and kick you to the curb.

  So... with that in mind, would I forgive them?

  Heck no!

  "...and they say the stone embedded in its forehead came from David's slingshot!"

  Did they run ballistics on David's slingshot to verify this?

  Okay, with the Candice Conti trial and settlement, there are a lot of legal issues still to be settled.

  I forsee a Watchtower article being prepared, as we type (and read), dealing with this.

  Poor Job. He was 'tested' by satan - just like us.

  Poor Job. He lost much of his livestock. Just like us (they will play up that they had to sell the properties in New York due to satan's testing the organization).

  Poor Job. He lost his sons and daughters. Just like us (more info dealing with why the figures for new publishers are down).

  Poor Job. and on and on and on with all sorts of (excuse me while I puke) scriptural references.

  Then, they will introduce another of their brilliant 'new lights' - the Job-Class. Yes folks, we are the Job-Class. Just like Job, we need to persevere as satan tests us, and jah allows us to be tested.

  etc - with more lunch-heaving diatribe and scriptures. (oooohhhh... stomach is getting queezy)

  .....

  fast forward six months...

  They will have follow-up articles about how - as the Job-Class, they are now experiencing the better things that jah is rewarding them with... new buildings in upper state New York... more publishers - numbers are up - etc. (Even if it's a lie)

  This is how I see that they could spin this whole disaster that they are facing right now. Of course, since they are so bull-headed and hard-hearted, they most likely won't, but it oculd help them to explain to the underlings what is going on in a way that the local jws would accept without even giving it a second thought... other than to put more of their hard-earned dollars into the contribution boxes. Poor Job-class...

  Regards,

  Jim TX

  P.S. Please read the above as satire. I in no way am supporting the wtbs, and I am very happy that Candice won her case. I only hope she does not have to endure much more legal manuevering, and that her lawyer can bring to a swift end the nonsense that the wtbts is throwing their way.

  I have hired 2 more employees this week that are DF'd to go with my several jw employees...i am giving an amazing witness!!

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had two new positions open up out of the blue recently and as luck would have it...for some reason i know a helluva lotta ex-jws lol!

  especially with two young and popular dfd sons who also hang with a lot of ex dubs...but that maybe is another thread....we are drawn to those with similarities very often and being an exjw is a pretty small club....and we left a true brotherhood to many and a network for sure to everyone else.

  so at work none of the non jws care for the jws and some have asked them to stop giving them paper crap and leave them alone...when one of them acted pissed that i had told some of the guys he would not ride with me to a jobsite lmao....of course they thought a new level of insanity had overtaken one of my normally great employees...so i told her "why would i not mention that to the shop guy/friends...im not ashamed of anything???".

  Don't forget variations on spelling the name like...

  Sparloch

  Sparrloch

  (like in the Loch ness monster)

  etc.

  I don't get it. Didn't the WTS throw the character in the trash bin? Now they want to keep it? What kind of a mixed message is that giving?

  Greetings from Candace Conti

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  candace asked me to tell you thank you for all your kind expressions of support.

  this really means a lot to her.

  she wants you to know that she is coping well with all the stress and excitement, even though she's had years of anger and frustration because of being abused for so long, first by the molester, and then by the wt.

  To Candice,

  I have read through some of the court documents. It is obvious that you and your lawyer went through a lot from the WTS lawyers. You both did very well. You are a brave girl. I admire you for what you have done.

  Why did Lazarus Pay for his sins twice?

  by criticalwitness in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to j dub doc the wages sins pays is death meaning to them death covers your debt of sin when lazarus died did he not pay his debt?

  so when jesus resctd him why did he die again?

  when jesus brought him back did he creat or recreat an imperfect being on the sinful road to destruction?

  Yeah, maybe he's a zombie. Or a vampire.

  Naw - he's the original Highlander, and is immortal.

  But seriously, I asked this very same question when I was still a JW. Never got an answer that satisfied me.

  There was also another young boy that Jesus resurrected. Not any details of his death in the bible, either.

  The JWs make a big deal about the scripture that says the 'wages of sin is death'. 'Inherited from Adam' - etc. But they skirt around small things like a pre-armageddon resurrection by none other than Jesus.

  ...

  actually, thinking about this... it is more like the movie Zardoz, when anyone died, they were re-born and would come back. No one could stay dead.

  I was dating a chick in December of last year

  by Iamallcool in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  after the date, she emailed me and she said "you are the best", but we never dated again.

  is it a code phrase or something?

  i emailed her back after her email and tried to date her again, but i never heard from her again and someone told me very recently that she is still alive and doing fine.

  Iamallcool said - There are times I do not like some certain ladies and I do not keep in touch with them.

  Don't you think that goes both ways?

  Plaintiff awarded in punitive damages -21M & 1 dollar. Total award, 28M & 1 dollar. Here's more info

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the plaintiff, candace conti's goal from the very beginning was to bring enough attention to this problem to incentivize watchtower to change its policy of secrecy.

  the award can be explained as it was decided: separate compensatory and punitive damages.

  the punitive award is established in law to punish wrongdoing - here, the conscious disregard for others - and deter that conduct in the future.

  Thank you Barbara.

  I think that just having the 12 jurors (plus those on standby, and anyone else in the courtroom during the trial) exposed to this 'dark side' of the WTS is a good starting point. Like a small snowball rolled down a hill of snow, when they go home, they will relate their experiences as jurors, to family, friends, etc. Just think of the reaction that JWs will get the next time they go door-knocking and reach the homes of these jurors or their friends or family that they've told.

  I hope that the 'good news' of this court ruling spreads to all the inhabited earth... for a witness... ha ha ha.

  Again, Thank you Barbara. I know that you have been closely involved with this behind the scenes. Your work, and all involved is much appreciated.

  If possible, pass word back to the plaintiff Candice, that we are all proud of her for going through this courtroom ordeal. I know it was difficult for her to do. I hope that she is doing well.

  Regards,

  Jim TX
