Erich,
My replies to you are not a personal attack whatsoever. I am not in the position of playing either victim or rescuer and have no desire to be either. I do not judge others on their popularity either.

Therefore, may I ask, was your son born into the JW's? By that I mean was he raised as a JW from a baby, or very young child?
Naturally this may be personal and you may not wish to answer and that is your right.

10 REASONS WHY JWS STAY IN THE TOWER

by Victor_E in

jw
friends

reason 1. jws use a cultic language that keeps them in a constant state of social hypnosis.

transformational grammar teaches that our language directly affects our subjective experience.

in working with some former jws i had to confiscate certain words and have them create substitutes for something that was more neutral.

Erich,
You said,

You are no democrate at all! Go to your friends Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden!
If one day, I'd got confrontated with guys like you, I'd forget all my christian principles. I'd be the first JW since 2000 years who would fight with the gun in my hands(!) against guys like you. One Nazi-dictatorship, one Hitler, and one Stalin, and one Pol Pot is enough. We do not need more killing fields with defenceless lambs !!
Coward!

Erich, I have known Vic for some time and can tell you that you know not of whom you speak.
The man you claim as a coward and one you could easily take up arms against is gentle, kind and giving. He would help any in need and give anything of himself. So, crawl back into your hole.
In fact, did you call yourself a coward? You did sign off with that title.

Anewperson,
You wrote,

Sounds logical but is incorrect. When INFORMED many do leave.

Anew, this is totally, totally incorrect. When informed, the great majority run from the information or informant. They do not want to know they have been, as "Waiting" put it so well, "conned".

Vic,
Great post as per usual,

SPIRITUAL INCOMPETENCE

by Victor_E in

jw
friends

the founders of america were great men and women who fled religious intolerance from the motherlands to give birth to a new nation where religious freedom would be guaranteed by law.

these laws have become a safe heaven for cults and all kinds of religious scams who hide behind the laws that make churches immune from prosecution.

russell and company found that the laws of the land allowed him to set up his religion to be able to market his pyramidology beliefs through literature sales.

Vic,

I have never viewed the "Tower" in quite this way before. It changes one's perspective on what they could be liable for if they were a company such as IBM.
Thankyou for the post; a fresh view.

I almost said you "shed new light" on the subject, but thought that would be in bad taste. (The devil is on my shoulder tonight).

Nice to see your posts again, Vic,
Love,
Ana

Six of Nine,

I was told by Mr Ray Whiting that it was a true story......and I had no reason to disbelieve him at the time.
He gave it to me for personal reasons. I was very moved by it and wanted to share it with my friends here.
Like Mommy, and all the others who have responded, to some of us this story "may" have a personal message in there.

I am sorry to you that I did not do a "Google Search".

I had to type it out in Microsoft Word....and then copy and paste.
Better yet......I'll send you the word doc.
I did not get this story off the web.
