  Dungeons and Dragons game & JW urban legends

  by rebel8 in

  2. beliefs

  does anyone remember this game from (i think) the early '80s?

  it's a role playing game of some sort that included some violent imagery or something.. i remember jws (and the media, come to think of it) making a big, big deal of it.

  something like it was demonized or made kids murder people.

  I smell a JW urban legend here

  It was even reported in People magazine that they were JWs. They were in the Delavan Congregation in Wisconsin.

  THEY MURDERED MY DAUGHTER - WILL YOU HELP ?????

  by SHUNNED FATHER in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  two leading oncologists both agree that my daughter bethany might be alive today if she had not been fed arsenic.

  as you may recall, the wts arranged to take my sick daughter into hiding for two months and payed a doctor to prescribe arsenic.

  the doctor ant the wts lawyers convinced bethany that the arsenic treatment could cure her.

  Shunned Father, my heart goes out to you. I cannot imagine losing one of my children to the fake blood policy of the WT. It was bad enough losing my father and father-in-law to the blood issue.

  Please people, DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS. This thread is for Shunned Father. Please ignore the ignorant people who want to hog the thread. Ignore bad behavior.

  My sister-in-law, who lives in WI, said the couple who created that game were in her congregation and when they became "rich", they left the "truth". So you know us JW's couldn't play that game.

  Welcome to the board, confession.

  First of all I don't think it is a black or white issue.

  So which is it? Be frank--or just dodge it?

  There are too many variables to have only one answer. There may be many, many ways to play out your hand. But think about how it will effect your parents/siblings/other family members/etc and be true to yourself.

  You maybe "stumbled" about learning about the UN/NGO thing and want to look into it, for example. But put the burden on the WT and their lies/childabuse/blood policy/df'ing/etc on why you need to really look at things.

  *shrug*
