Hello Everyone,

Thanks for all your kind responses. I am a dutch guy, faded when I was 19. My prime 3 reasons we're:

You dont learn anything with the JWs, its just a social club trying to do Gods bidding (WTs bidding). Most of them are dumb and naive.

They do inquisition on people who think for themselves.

They are, simply put, not Gods people. And not HS directed in ANY way.

The name Medina does not have anything to do with me being muslim of some kind. I had this Nickname for Online gaming since I was 14 Years Old, so I still Use it, yes I know its the city in Arabia, but it is also a City in Spain, called Medina Sidonia, and thats where Ive got the nickname from, Fleet Admiral of the Spanish Armada, the Count of Medina Sidonia.

Ill wait till the new website comes out, then Ill change some profile data.

I am free for 2 years, and its great! Although sometimes I do have some anger towards the WT and Pubs... But I think they deserve it, and Yes I was raised in (Too bad). This year we're my first Xmas and Birthday years! Thanks again for the warm welcome!

When one become A JW, he or she become A law-abiding ,productive citizen

ok, a law-abiding citizen , yes, but a productive citizen, what do you think.. i have heard this statment from the borg., how people from all over the.

world have change their lives and become a productive citizen, how?.

in my community when a problem arise (gangs, racial, police) who is on.

Medina

What do you mean by productive? You mean economic production? In a sense JW are far better Economic Producers then any, they love to pay taxes and feel that the end is near, also they need to build a good reputation for Jehovah, meaning that they have to work hard.

JW are typical Economic Slaves.

Watchtower claims Armageddon will come when US is no longer a World Power

by Alfred in

just when i thought the wash towel was done trying to interpret the book of revelations, i came across this from paragraph 16 on the last page of the march 15, 2011 watchtower.... .

the urgency of the times we live in is underscored when we consider the inspired prophecy at revelation 17:10. the seventh king, the anglo-american world power, has come into existence.

concerning it we read: when he [the seventh world power] does arrive he must remain a short while.

The funny thing is, is that the United States is on the verge of collapsing, monetary and millitary. The enourmous goverment spending, trade deficit and debt will crush the states. In March Congress will have to approve the debt ceiling to be raised, otherwise default will happen. Ofcourse the Debt Ceiling will be raised and Helicopter Ben will drop more money with his Helicopter so that the Wall Street zombie banks will not go under with their derivatives bubble. The currency will fail, and its will no longer be used as the Reserve Currency. The western economy is already on the tour to the new World Depression, in wich we already share.

The US is no longer a superpower, China and the Fed hold most of the US debt and therefore have more to say about its policies then the people do. Thats why you see all these Wallstreet Zombie bankers influencing Obama. Obama should instead of focussing of letting the fed destroy the currency and with policies that unwind heavy industry subsidize great project like the Apollo project was in the 60s. The US needs a better infrastructure, better railroads, and more industry. The close of GM and other car producers was one of the biggest failures of the Obamanomics. The economy is not dependent on zombie bankers who trade as parasites on speculative derivatives, these hyenas dont care about currency devaluation because they have enough anyway.

Pure production will save the US. A new currency is not needed. Start financing with 0% railroad projects, infrastructure, nucleair power and so on, this will create great modern jobs, and industrialize the US as it was before. Unemployment will drop and prosperity will resume. A new ''The New Deal'' like FDR is needed. And Obama is failing on all the aspects as the demagogue he is.

The US can still save itself, this does not mean vote for Ron Paul, because he is a pure deflationist that will kill alot of people in the progress through hunger. R. Pauls mission is to cut spending, and cut the money supply, leaving the top notches able to buy up everything in pennies for the dollar.

The USA stands on some very important crossroads wich will determine the Western Economy and the Military power of the EU(SSR).

A small comment on the part of the WT prediction that the Anglo American power is the last?! Its is absolute BS. England failed already in the 20th centuries with the Sterling Pound and is on the verge of default. USA doesnt fare any better, while Russia and China are strong hands, holding both currencies and commodities. War isnt fought with guns and bombs, but with economics. The Wattchtower is a big fraud, and we will be LAUGHING OUR ASSES OFF!!!! In a few years when this book, called the Revelations Book. will be deemed as pure fiction... Its going to be fun to show it to JW. And yeah, hell is already on Earth.

How long did it take until you had that 'light bulb' moment?

by Crash Override in

how long did it take for you to realize that something was very wrong with the 'truth'?.

for me, it was about 2 1/2 years into studying.

i'm a guy and i'm attracted to both guys and girls.

Medina

I always was a little Apostate since birth, also in my teens, but I never allowed myself to have questions witouth awnsers, so I ''forgot'' the questions, and moved on in my Theocratic Career.

Once I reached the age of 19 (Last year) I was allowing myself to have questions, and allow myself to critisize, that was the moment I allowed myself to look at ''apostate'' websites, and the rest is history.

I am not DA or DF, but I am faded, I quit cold turkey, and never heard from anyone anymore, except my parents, by whom I still live.

wicked people actually "witnessing" about jehovah.

by man in black in

while reading the last post about light bulb moments, i thought of something that once really impressed me as a witness.. .

every once in a while at the ca /da / or service meeting a part would pop up about how the witnesses would run into a dissinterested person.. perhaps this person would yell, threaten, or just be plain mean.

but the part that always was made was how if this worldly person used the name jehovah.

Medina

Hey, nice point.

I dont use any ofthe loaded language JWs use to describe their religion, in fact I always talk about ''the religion'' or the WTBS, and so on... Dont use their methods and words, it will strenghten their belief, but if you tell how it is, they will see that the words they use are but a mask to conceil what they truelly are.

Ireland: judge orders baby to be given blood after dramatic court hearing

by behemot in

a judge ordered the baby son of a jehovah witness couple to be given a life-saving blood transfusion after a dramatic court hearing in his home in the early hours of the morning.. judge gerard hogan said barristers for temple street children's hospital arrived at his house at 1am on december 27 and argued the desperately ill three-month-old boy needed urgent treatment.. neither the infant nor his parents were identified in the high court judgment, which was published today.. judge hogan ruled that while parents have the constitutional right to raise their children to their own religious and philosophical views, the state has a vital interest in ensuring children are protected.. "but there is absolutely no doubt but that the court can intervene in a case such as this where the child's life, general welfare and other vital interests are at stake," he added.. judge hogan heard that when the baby boy was born in september 2010 he had been a twin, with a sister who did not survive.. on christmas day the infant was suffering from acute bronchiolitis when his condition deteriorated.

at one point he stopped breathing and had to be resuscitated.. he was transferred to temple street the following day where his condition became critical.

his liver was distended and by that evening his haemoglobin level plummeted to the point where a transfusion was necessary.. the judge said while the boy's parents were clearly anxious for his welfare and had allowed the use of blood products earlier that day, as committed jehovah witnesses they were steadfast in their opposition to this procedure.. the hospital made contact with the court's duty register at 10pm that night and the high court hearing was swiftly arranged.. consultant dr kevin carson, clinical director of intensive care, argued the youngster's life was in danger and there were no medical alternatives to a transfusion.. the parents were not legally represented at the judge's house, but were aware of the issues as the court had previously sanctioned a blood transfusion for another child of theirs.. judge hogan continued: "there is no doubt as to the sincerity of the religious beliefs of the parents.. "they struck me as wholesome and upright parents who were most anxious for the welfare of their child, yet steadfast in their own religious beliefs.

I think the parents we're releaved after the Judge said that! Now the ''guilt'' is of their shoulders and their child will be saved, they know the child cant do anything about it, as do they. With this in mind they are happy they dont have te take responsibility and explain evertyhing to the elders.

Hopefully the kid will raise healthy, and doesnt become a JW.
