by OrphanCrow in

jw

i just watched the live feed from the russian court room and followed the updates on the russian exjw forum.. just waiting for confirmation from other sources...but, it looks like the final (and expected) result is:.

banned.

which means that the wts property in russia now belongs to the russian state..

Hey orphan,

I am not in favor of any government BANNING any religion or faction of religion. The only way of truly getting rid of bad ideas(religions) is to keep them out in the open where they can dispelled.

There will never be a utopia of any set of ideas be they religious or secular. The price of allowing individual freedom is DIRT CHEAP compared to the price of giving your government the power to tell you what you can and cant believe and what church you can or cannot belong to.

If you want to combat the jw ideology you will have to get in line behind me but allowing the government to do it for you is not the answer of a freedom loving people.

Hey finkel..

Drawing a line in the sand to protect innocents is what a moral secular society does. (jw blood issue here in the USA) Banning ideas is what a overreaching totalitarian government does. If you were a jw or are a jw then you know how dangerous thought police are.

All revolutions, be they religious or governmental come from within, not from big brother dictating what its people should believe or should not believe.

Being accepting of a government banning ideas because your mom and dad wont talk to you is not a reason to support a totalitarian power grab.

Russia straight up bans a religion (ideology) and people here are happy about it? Your personal grievances against this religion are irrelevant.

What part of totalitarian thought police do you folks not understand? Do you really want a government telling you what organization you can or cannot belong to??

Can you imagine what would happen if Russia even attempted to ban islam?

Memorial

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

what i noticed during the memorial is the over organised ritual aspect.

for a non jw is must be hard to follow.. for me, i noticed that during the memorial there is no attention for the historical jesus and the historical events.

it's all about the kingdom arrangement with it's central point, the governing body of jw.. do you noticed this also?.

pbrow

My kids go with their mother and I remind them every year...

What does the bible say you should do with the bread and wine?

What does the man on the stage say you should do with the bread and wine?

If you are going to be a christian who should you listen to?

In even better news... my oldest wants nothing to do with the jdubs and the younger on the same path.

praise allah!

It's about progress, not perfection...

by scratchme1010 in

i guess at this point in time and space i'm ok if there's an indication of things going in the right direction.. my jw father, who joined the jws in 1973 when i was 8, has always had all the characteristics of the stereotypical brainwashed born again weirdo.

as a jw he always felt the need to show that he was more devoted than the rest of the crop.

to him, life became very easy from that point on: "the bible", interpreted by the millions of wt publications, along with the information in the meetings and getting involved in all jw activities, were the answer to everything and anything in his life".

Congrats.

Played the cards you were dealt your way.

Hey mixon... going door to door is not a good idea.... answering the door naked is just sweet justice.

I can just hear the complaint...

jdub - Yeah... officer this man just exposed himself in front of my kid!!

officer - oh that is horrible... where was the last place you saw this subject?

jdub - oh, I was out in the door to door ministry, sharing the good news of jc and the bible with my neighbors. (mentally counts time w/ officer) when I rang a doorbell and this householder just brazenly opened his door and his entire penacular region was showing!!

officer - wait... so you knocked on HIS door and he was in HIS house naked? have a nice day!

When you might be discovered?

by confused3426 in

i am still in my crossroads, and going to some meetings at times.

i have joined facebook ex jw support groups.

on friday one of my friends from my hall, texts me saying he saw a recommendation to join a group, and sees me listed as a member.

"i hope it doesn't take 3 years to fade"

It does not take 3 years or even 3 hours. You can walk away right now!

"i dont have to talk to the elders. They are just men, and i don't need to explain myself to no one!!"

You are absolutely right!! Dont allow the elders or ANYONE else to keep you where you do not want to be. The choice is yours. You get to make and own your decisions from now on.

good luck
