  No argument there still thinking . . . but this kid has made a decision that even according to (his) own posts is totally illogical . . .

  I feel like there are alot of ppl in the world who would be better off being in the witness world, so preaching to ones who are looking for some kind of purpose in life will be better then me just doing what i am doing now.

  not much consideration for his future cult victims . . .

  Feb. 15th WT - WT Society says DFed Ones are Lawless- Just Like Demons

  by flipper in

  i would assume that some or a good number of us here as normal humans in this society - consider " lawless " actions to include murder , robbery, extortion, rape, child abuse, war , terrorism, etc.

  the wt society has their own definition of what's considered " lawless ".

  anything that's considered a disfellowshipping offense in the jehovah's witnesses is now considered " lawless ".

  I've just come to this thread flipper . . . mainly because I've just come off a thread by a poster deservingone26 (whom I believe you've met), who after being disfellowshipped for 5 years and becoming "lost" with family still in . . . is now heading right back into the mire . . . no wonder the WT boys are pushing this one hard . . . it works! . . . Heartless pricks.

  How do you think you will handle your own death? . . . . . [language alert]

  i know it's not the lightest of topics but the current news coverage of the pope's final hours made me wonder if i'd face things as calmly as he is reported to be doing.

  i don't have his faith, or any faith anymore, but i can see how for a true believer that would be a source of strength.. the thing is, a lot of us thought we'd never die.

  do you really comprehend what a truly massive mind-fuck that is?

  It's the last great adventure left to mankind . . . speculation builds fear and stifles the excitement of anticipation . . . imagine if you end up thinking . . . "shit . . . if I'd known it was this good I wouldn't have wasted so much time living" . . . my father (RIP) said something similar when he finally got false teeth.

  While that might seem the best option for now deservingone26 . . . and I respect that . . . you must beware that any time spent in this cult will damage you . . it is simply not healthy. Please don't waste your life. Do what you feel you have to . . . but don't forget your friends here . . . I suspect you will need them.

  Good luck.

  Elders Approaching . . . What angle is best?

  Hiyall . . . I've been out for over 6 years now, and moved back to my old "home town" a couple of years ago. I've had a couple of visits from an old associate. This man was with me in a congregation from 20 years back and we pioneered together for a few years . . . even went into business together for a while. After I moved away we kept in close touch and even ended up serving together briefly in a congregation many miles from here. He moved to another country about three years back and we lost contact. He knew by then I had become "inactive" and I hadn't heard from him for some time before he left.

  Recently he arrived back in town (to look after his sick mother) and looked me up . . . we chatted for about an hour but steered away from anything spiritual and discussed nothing re; my status. I think he was just feeling things out, but it was basically small talk and nothing more. That was a couple of months ago, but more recently he turned up at my home while I was out of town and spoke to my wife. Once again our "status" was carefully avoided and the visit ended with a general invitation to get together sometime with another family who were mutual friends for a BBQ.

  I think he is intent on attempting to "snatch me out of the fire"

  Even though we have known each other for a long time, I never really felt that close to him. He always brings the whole family and things are getting mildly "cosy". He is 'born-in' and has been an Elder for 20+ years, as has the other brother suggested for the get together.

  I have no desire to rekindle any friendships, nor any fear in making my feelings on matters clear. But before the inevitable parting of ways, I would like to get the most "mileage" out of the opportunity in the sense of planting something that might set him to thinking . . . .

  Any suggestions would be appreciated
