If you go they will think they can get you in also. If you don't respond the way they want you to, they will just label you as a godless man who loves this wicked system that is controlled by Satan.

ALL a mere process??
by Terry inphase one.
one set of people listened to a wonderful thinker and marvelled at his words and the life he led and his kindnesses.. they were moved by him.. most of the profound words he spoke were difficult and mysterious to the point of being elusive to the mind.. when this man was violently arrested, tortured, accused and executed the shock and awe was devastating.. .
what was the reason for all this--what did he really mean to tell us?.

Apostate: From 279 Facebook friends to 81 overnight... thanks MOM!
by sosoconfused inthe drama continues, i log on to facebook this morning and notice that i have about 20 some odd personal messages from people calling me an apostate to they will return to me when i return to jehovah.. all of this based upon my brother informing others that i have "apostate thoughts".
my mother also encourage long-time famil friends to "unfriend" me because i have taken my stand on the side of satan... wow.

We need to make this shunning thing a major crisis for the Watchtower. If people knew that they shun family and friends like the do, they would slam the doors in their faces hard.
We need a major campaign to educate the public about this religion that looks innocent on the surface but is evil to the core upon close inspection. I for my part am going to launch a flyer campaign in my area, anonomously, of course. I have had it with the shunning.

desperate or stupid - you decide
by finally awake injust ron has received a couple of phone calls in the last few days from the rbc brother wanting him to come roof a kingdom hall.
now, just ron hasn't been to a meeting since december 2011, and certainly hasn't got a current volunteer form on file.
so i ask, are they desperate or just stupid?.

Mourning a child
by dissonance_resolved ini attended a funeral today for a small child, whose death was an unspeakable tragedy.
it was my first non-jw funeral and indeed the first time i'd ever been in a church.
i couldn't even comprehend what the parents must be going through.

So sad. Nothing is worse than the death of a sweet little child.
