i've had a quick glance through the july 15th watchtower, and at first reading there seems nothing too dramatic to report.. the title of the first article "let jehovah guide you to true freedom" seemed ironic to say the least.

not surprisingly, the way you get more freedom is by relinquishing it entirely to the watch tower society.

there is also a bizarre statement in the very first paragraph of the article on page 7 (bold highlighted remarks are mine):.

Wow, its never ending with those guys in NY. They truly need a kick up the anus to knock them off their high horse.

Racism on the forum / Treyvon Martin

by Simon in

i've just been catching up on some of the posts that people made about this case and i am appalled at the blatant racism demonstrated by certain individuals.. yes, you are entitlted to your opinion ... but at some point your opinion needs to be kept locked inside your ignorant biggoted empty skull and not come out of your stupid fat mouth.

it especially shouldn't be posted on my forum.. such racism will not be tollerated here.. i also would like to publicly apologise to outlaw for not being on top of this earlier and making sure that he wasn't lumped in with these despicable people for simply pointing out how out-of-line their behavior was.

sorry my friend - you did not deserve that and i understand completely why you have had a break from the site..

Wow...this Treyvon Martin stuff is really getting crazy. Thank you Simon.

Sad news Re: Menlo Park Congregation

by Devil_Fish in

it saddens me to inform you that ruth edwards has passed.

ruth was a long time member of the menlo park congregation.

when the letter was read that indicated that john cobb, jason cobb, walter st. clair, and george stock had been removed from their post as elders, ruth fainted and needed to be taken to the hospital.

Joliette

That is very sad. I remember reading about her having a heart attack after reading that all of the elders had been deleted from their positions. People dont understand HOW SERIOUSLY people take the kingdom hall, the organization, JW's in general. But as always, the organization never think about people's personal feelings or health; its all about the organization.

my mom says dont say happy easter cause she is not a part of babylon the great...i said 'happy easter' to my brother as a joke and my brother goes back and tells my mom like were little kids (i'm 29 and he's 27 with a new baby by the way) and my mom writes me a lengthy email about how i shouldnt joke about babylon the great.

i am 29 years old, 29. and i can't joke around.

i know all j-dubs arent like this, but a lot of them are just like my mom.

Thank you nugget.

What came first? Atheism or the "apostasy" in JW terms?

by Silent_Scream in

for those who are atheists: did you become an atheist while being a jw, then left, or did you not view them as the true religion and left, but still believed in god/bible, but later turned to atheism?.

Joliette

So called JW's apostasy came first...then I gradually began to dismiss the bible period. I consider myself to be agnostic, but I'm more sure that god doesnt exist. And I am in the tiny miniority...most of my family and friends are theist. They look at me crazy when I say I have serious doubts that there is a god. Some have even cut me off, but its okay. Goes to show you what our relationship was really based off of.
