this is a old case but just shows what goes on behind closed doors if you are a jw family.
this arsehole needs to go to the chair!!.
more news:.
There's a difference between giving a child a whooping and flat about beating a child. I was whooped as a child and I had no issues resulting from it.
I disagree Sweeney, this has nothing to do with religion. There are many parents who beat their children unmercifully who are not involved in religion.
found this on another site and you can use it on the witlesses when they knock the door.. 1. teaching that true christianity is an organization instead of a way of life .
2. claiming salvation is dependent upon belonging to the jw denomination .
3. claiming that the organization speaks for and is controlled by jehovah, thereby equating the organization with god himself .
That list pretty much sums it up. Thanks for sharing.
been going nuts looking for this.. i am sure i have read, and probably saved, a quote by them about not being false prophets but i am buggered if i can find it anywhere in search, google or my own pc.. can you help?.
i think its 2009 but not sure, where they have the line 'never have we said ''jehovah has said'' when ...'.
a link or pdf or scan or cut n paste, etc would be great!.
They get around the term false prophet by coming up with an alternate fake meaning for the word prophet.
yes the elders made another stop to continue to try to get me back to the meetings.
my main argument with them has been the incorrect dates.
607, 1914. they said i need to stop focusing on dates.
I do understand what you are saying JYD. Seems like everytime these guys come around it's always real early in the morning, when they know I'm still sleeping. Trying to catch me off guard. My tactic has been to let them spout whatever they want to say, find an opening and bring out my point.
Their best argument they have is "where else are you going to go?"
hello gang!
didn't think i'd let you off easy did you?
this one might really make us dig into our personal archives!
This is tough, I love so many different albums.
The Clash - London Calling
Rage Against the Machine - Self-Titled
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Eric Clapton - The Cream of Clapton (I don't like to include greatest hits or best ofs but I just love this one so much)
Queen - Night at the Opera
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
The Black Keys - Brothers (this is one of my new favorite bands)
Rush - Moving Pictures
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Its so hard to pick favorite albums.
over the last 9+years, i have read many discussions between believers and non believers.
each side supports their claims with research which includes links to websites.
my question is, how do you decide what information is really the truth and unbiased?
I can't tell anybody how to decide. That is up to each person. Yes, maybe I don't agree with you but that's fine. If your way of life makes you happy, you go ahead and pursue it, just so long as it doesn't hurt others.
since wl deals with documented facts, not merely rumors and speculations.....what would you most like to see documented and revealed about the watchtower, the gb members, or the wt true agenda?.
if you could ask wl to dig up information about any curiosity you have concerning this cult....what would you have them investigate?.
do you think there is any information that will be released concerning religions and cults?.
I would like to see a note that 7 million people have just left the Jehovah's Witnesses.
this is unbelievable!
theocratic warfare with the courts?.
elder states that jw's do not shun: (listen to his weak definition of shunning).
What is this case even about? I dont' remember when this first surfaced so can anyone enlighten me?
so i wrote an email to my brother to tell him that i love him and that it's sad that a religion has come between us.
this is the reply i got:.
stupid and ignorant.
There's nothing you can reply. Nothing will get through to him. He's been warped and twisted. Just remember, he's disowning you, you aren't disowning him. The Bible says that "anybody who doesn't provide for those who are his own, and especially for those those who are members of his household, he is worse than a person without faith." He's not providing love for his own, his family. It's just a sad truth. I'm so sorry for you.

I was supposed to move out at the start of next year but that seems to be getting postponed. I would like nothing more right now but it has not been in the cards yet.
