Interesting as well is that a Charity is being set up because of the film and it called 'Lost & Found'...

Lost & Found is a London based center offering "Life-Transition Counseling" for former religious cult members. By offering empathetic support and higher-education scholarships, Lost & Found assists both youths and adults in achieving self empowerment as they adjust to their new lives.

From The WTBTS Website On Shunning And How They Will Always Win !

by Hairyhegoat in

these comments are from the jw.org website and it's clear from this that they think they are above the law.

the court of appeals acknowledged that even if the woman felt distress because former acquaintances chose not to converse with her, "permitting her to recover for intangible or emotional injuries would unconstitutionally restrict the jehovah's witnesses free exercise of religion .

the constitutional guarantee of the free exercise of religion requires that society tolerate the type of harms suffered by [her] as a price well worth paying to safeguard the right of religious difference that all citizens enjoy.

Is there anything they can't spin?

by InterestedOne in

jw
friends

i've been finding that jw's use clever words to slip out of anything.

case in point, the shunning statement from the interview.

as another example, i tried to ask my study conductor the following: "if a person accepts a whole blood transfusion, will they be disfellowshipped?

sleepingbeauty

They have no answers for these type of questions, and go all defensive on you! What have they got to hide is what you should be asking!!

I bet they will still side step the question though, cowards and liars just to protect the mother ship.. Morons

Down with this cult!!!

Do You Hate The Jehovah's Witness Religion?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i see some here who seem to despise the religion.

others seem to feel that witnesses are wacky but they don't hate them.. do you hate this religion?.

sleepingbeauty

I despise JW's now like I used to despise any other religious organisation when I was a JW... ! I silently used to look down on other religions thinking they were so stupid and just couldnt believe how they could be allowed to keep mis-leading so many people !!!

God did I have a HUGE rafter in my eye !!!

Now I have no faith in any organised religion & wish everyone could be mentally & emotionally free. Im not ready to believe there is no God, so I dont wish to mock anyone of there faith I just wish the WTBS could be made accountable for there actions !

Question

by I need a lot of help in

jw
friends

is it true that only jw that are bapatized will be saved when the big a hits.

sleepingbeauty

They also say that those that never had a chance to hear the message of Jehovah will be 'possibly' saved. But for the most part they teach that anyone that knows about JWdom and rejects it, is automatically deserving of death during the Big A. Rubbish of course & not scriptural but thats what they teach....

I need a show of hands: who believes the Bible and to what extent?

by Terry in

i'll start off.. i don't believe anything is divine about bible writings.

i believe there may be some marginal history although not much.

i think alot of folk tales and regional myths are contained in the old testament.

sleepingbeauty

I believe non of it any more. Ok it contains words of wisdom like not killing each other, but who needs a bible to tell you thats wrong !

Me & Nugget (and our hubbies Cantleave, hairyhegoat ) along with others on this forum (such as Bigmac & Amelia) plus loads of others on this forum, all met up for an Xmas 2010 party at Brighton. We all travelled from all over the place to get there & all our kids loved it !!! Bigmac dressed up as Father Christmas... He played the part very well....

Sleepingbeauty; were you known as A knowledgeable JW? I ask this question because if you were not, then the witnesses that came to your door should be impress. You can go toe toe with any anointed, elder, pioneer and send them running. I am sure this is A concern , A pattern is taken place. People that are leaving us that we believe was weak are now more knowledgeable about our belief. They are not shaking in thier booths like the old days, hell they will tell us to our face we are full of sh---t. Love it..

@ Jam - No, I dont think I would have been regarded as a knowledgable JW... so the very fact that I was able to come out with what I did, would have been an eye opener in itself... I'd like to think that the brother would have listened to some of what I said, but it is clear this sister (his wife) was a closed book, by the time we were drawing to a close! I know this brother used to be an elder at one point in time, but had to step down when his daughters fell out of line !!!

He himself would definately be knowledgable & much of what I said would have hit a raw nerve .... They probably both walked away dusting off there feet & g'rating as they left ....

I dont like or enjoy upsetting anybodies day, especially when they had clearly given of there time to see me, but the time was right & I'd had enough of pussing footing around... They needed to know the real TRUTH!
