My impressed applause to sd-7. When you can fake sincerity you have accomplished much. Have you ever considered sales or executive management?
It reads like you were sincere when you wrote it. Congratulations on taking steps toward freeing yourself.

As for Dan's stories here, they do sound increasingly bizarre but I'm not gonna call CON on this unless someone starts begging for money...
Interesting wrinkle. You haven't asked anyone for money or physical support, have you Dan?

Hey, dearone. This may not be the site to go to for advice on a talk. While there are many people who would be happy to help you out, others are inclined to post moronic vitriol. Of course, you already see that now.
Peace.

e-document: "Blood on Their Hands: The Story of a Hemophiliac Child in the Jehovah's Witness Cult"
by AndersonsInfo inthis material is so important that i felt compelled to recommend it even though it costs a few dollars.
while you're reading what this sick child was put through at the hands of ignorant religious zealots, i think you will feel the emotional pain and anger i did.
how in the world can the witnesses in this child's world believe that they have love for others, when by their actions, they demonstrated that they don't.

Check out the official Watchtower site for your answer, Pallbearer. You might be surprised by what has changed (including the permissable use of bovine hemoglobin.) The rules changed in 2000, though many witnesses remain confused by what they are no longer prevented from doing, and many still refuse to accept even blood fractions since the Society has hedged on its blood policy changes by saying they are now a conscience matter betten the individual and God - in other words, "we can take you to water, but we can't force you to drink it" which, of course, is absolute garbage, since loyal witnesses, to continue the analogy, are forced to drink all the other water they're taken to.

I haven't a clue what you're talking about. Forget about it.

I'm not your buddy but here's the truth, Dan. They're hanging a trip on you and it is ludicrous to say that you in any way caused your wife's grand mal seizures. It doesn't work that way. What you might want to do right now is some research. Check out the Mayo Clinic website, for example, and I am certain you will find no reference implicating stress as a trigger. It doesn't alleviate the concern you have for your wife, but you and your alleged apostacy are not the problem. Anyone who tells you otherwise is on Mars.
Dan, with each passing hour your mind will become clearer. It feels like it, but it's not the end of your world. Focus on what is really happening, not what you perceive to be happening.

Anonymous attack on the Watchtower?
by Nickolas inhave you ever heard of anonymous?.
anonymous is an amorphos underground collective of internet activists - interactivists.
many of their activities are illegal, or at least reside in the grey area of legality.

Moral is at the lowest I`ve ever seen it..
A distinction I'm getting from reading your posts, OUTLAW, is that you are still in?
The Watchtower will be dismantled brick by brick,by the idiots in charge..
I am not as patient (I stopped myself from using the word pessimistic) as you are, but I bow to your superior knowledge (although I am starting to catch up, thanks in part to you.) Dismantling the Watchtower is just a problem to be solved, and sometimes the smallest thing snowballs into the biggest thing. Pull out a brick or two from the right place, to continue your analogy, the whole facade might come tumbling down.

I realise this cover gets posted on this board a lot, but people coming in and out of threads is hit and miss and not everyone has seen it. The kids on this cover were not so lucky.
The incongruity of it all is that what the WTBTS is calling the sacred symbol of life has taken a higher position of importance than the thing it symbolises. It is incongruous because Jehovah's Witnesses are blind to the realisation that they have made a symbol into something for which they will sacrifice their lives and the lives of their children. It is the Witness' Golden Calf.

Typical view of the Watchtower's idea of "Charity"

My wife, a devoted Jehovah's Witness, gives to secular charities all the time. She undoubtedly gives money to the WTBTS as well, but not so much that I take notice. If I notice, something will change.
Is the point being made that the Watchtower doesn't exercise charity outside of its membership? That may be accurate. I am not aware of any Watchtower soup kitchens. Although I do recall them trumpeting some humanitarian efforts decades ago, I hear nothing about that sort of thing these days. The WTBTS was one of the first organisations into Haiti a year ago, but that was to look after their own. When I pointed out this little detail to my wife, she defended the Society by saying, "It's because they are family. If there was a disaster on your sister's street, wouldn't you go to her house first?" Yes, as a matter of fact, I would. But when I was sure she was ok, I'd be going to the houses of her neighbours, too. I don't think this happened with the Watchtower in Haiti. The other irony in her statement, of course, is that those who are in the Society are treated like family while those who are really family who decide to leave are not treated like family.

Good afternoon, OUTLAW.
Nobody in the outside world cares about the WBT$..
Wouldn't it be a good thing if that changed?
