  My Review for Terry's new book, "I Wept by the Rivers of Babylon, A Prisoner of Conscience in a Time of War"

  by AndersonsInfo in

  grappling with conscience .

  a must read, i wept by the rivers of babylon,a prisoner of conscience in a time of war, is an important self-portrait of a naive young man, terry walstrom, who in 1967 thought he was obeying his conscience when he refused to take up arms and kill.

  inasmuch as he was a conscientious objector, walstrom could have availed himself of noncombatant service in the military, but he was opposed to that arrangement.

  Passing a resolution a painful experience

  by stillin in

  everybody knows it's going to pass.

  nobody ever asks if possibly that much money for the circuit overseer's whatever isn't a bit too much, or whatever else the congregation is being asked to agree to.

  then the call to raise your hand if in favor of doing the "right thing.

  I always was shocked at those who questioned these resolutions. What were they thinking? Are they questioning the wisdom of Jehovah's spirit appointed elders?

  Now I know that they just had a brain and were probably partoff the conscious class.

  hi, my wife became a jw about 25 years ago and at the time while it all sounded crazy to me but i could see not wrong and have no problem with people having a religion , it started to become apparent that her choice of religion was almost cult like with all the controls in place.

  we no longer have a social life together as she will only be with clan members not wordly people and i have stopped going round to her friends houses for get togethers becouse i am sick to death of being questioned and mocked about my beliefs,hearing other religion being called so harsh,wordly people being talked about as if scum and all the other haughty talk.

  i am not allowed any material in the house that might be apostate,satanic?

  Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are the best known religion for the preaching work, but what about the content of the message. Have we not preached for decades that the generation who witnessed the events of 1914 and were old enough to understand the significance would not pass away until Armageddon came? Did we not preach door to door that Armagedon was coming in 1975 and then changed it to before the end of the 20th century. Many more doctrine that waschanged was preached door to door. We placed magazines that now contain doctrine we later dramatically changed.

  WHY WOULD GOD LET HIS TRUE RELIGION PREACH FALSEHOODS FOR DECADES UPON DECADES? WHY WOULD OUR SALVATION DEPEND UPON OUR PREACHING THESE FALSEHOODS?
