  A story about Reggie and Reginald... and why it makes me cringe... more vomiting

  by confusedandalone in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i grew up in new jersey in a very urban part of the state.

  i literally only saw white folks if they were in a police car or if i went to the assembly.

  the funny thing is at the assembly there was still a level of segregation as well although it was self-imposed.

  Yeah I can cosign on that one, and yes I have heard stories of GB members being racist, some of them probably still are, as well as racism stories from the districts and circuits. Pictures of white angels in publications, a white Jesus, etc. It basically teachers that whites are elavated and that other non whites had no culture, and that they learned culture and christianity from whites. The watchtower was bulit on white supremacy anyways so it doesnt surprise me one bit. But nowadays the JW's will downplay and say that happened 'way back then.' 'That was then and this is now bull crap.' Then they'll get up on the stage and talk about how bad other religion are.

  Any non white person who makes it up to the top ranks of the watchtower must be a real sell out.

  He said, how could anyone not believe? I dont believe in god but I respect his opinion. His opinion is the majority of how people feel. Me, I just can't comprehend a god, and probably never will. After what happen with me and the watchtower, no no no. But if you believe in a god, thats your business, just dont put your god off on me.

  So, here's a new definition of 'apostacy'

  by ItsMyLife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you allow your child to have a part in the nativity play, it's apostacy.

  even if the child just stands there, dressed as a an animal.

  with no lines.. even if you've been inactive for several months.. talk about extremes and emotional blackmail!.

  Is the WTS backing away from "Bible Tall Tales" ?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a kid, it seemed like not a meeting went by when you didn't hear about jonah or sampson and other tall tales from the bible.. now though, they seem to have been sidelined.

  i guess the rest of the world caught on to the fact that these stories couldn't possibly be true and were so far fetched (yeah, even by bible standards) that they are just treated as 'stories' like aesop's fables.

  saying that you believe in them as genuine accounts just makes you look like a crazy zealot.. but the wts is different.
