  'Divisions' in the EXJW World: Thoughts, Please!

  by lisaBObeesa in

  doesnt it seem that the people who have been out of the jws for a while have, for the most part, divided into two political parties?

  we have the group who is pro-trying-to-bringing-down-the-wt and the group that is anti-trying-to-bring-down-the wt.

  of course we have a bunch of independents, too.

  Doesn’t it seem that the people who have been out of the JWs for a while have, for the most part, divided into two ‘political parties’? We have the group who is ‘pro-trying-to-bringing-down-the-WT’ and the group that is ‘anti-trying-to-bring-down-the WT’. Of course we have a bunch of ‘Independents’, too. Oh and the ‘Reformers!’

  What are your thoughts on these divisions? Do you feel they are significant to the way the posters on this board get along with each other? Do you identify with one position or another?

  If you are a ‘reformer’ could you ever lend support to a cause run by some ‘pro-trying-to-bringing-down-the-WT’s? Or if you are a ‘pro-trying-to-bringing-down-the-WT’er, could you ever lend support to a cause run by some ‘Reformers’? (and can you think of some shorter names for these groups? LOL!)

  How important are these divisions in the exJW community? How much do they affect us?

  Every once in a while what they REALLY believe comes out of their mouths and it shocks even other witnesses in the room.

  i must now apologize for all the things i said.. someone i trust has informed me of some things that have caused me to feel that without a doubt your position was the correct one.. ray franz should have supported you and not by his silence add support to the watchtower!

  Diligent? ‘He was a very diligent worker.’

  Vigilant? ‘He kept a vigilant eye out for anything out of the ordinary…’

  a combo of those two words?

  I think you were looking for the word ‘diligent’

  In AA some who cannot stop drinking will use weed as a "substitute" for booze or drugs. It works for some.It's still "using" but it keeps them sane.

  Wow. No such thing in the AA literature around here. Around here we call that "switching seats on the Titanic'.

  I do understand, though.

  ok, sorry about the off topic again!

  It's like the" marijuana maintenance" program in AA for alcoholics and druggies.

  Sorry, off topic, but what the heck are you talking about here??
