  If you aren't part of the SOLUTION you may be the CAUSE of the PROBLEM

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a forum of people seeking refuge from bullying, taunts, oppression and mind games.. how do you heal such wounds if your own brothers-in-banishment treat you with cold, heartless contempt?.

  it doesn't cost any poster here one shiny penny to be respectful when disagreeing with their wounded comrades.. there is really just no excuse, in my opinion for getting personal.. .

  personal means actually naming a person and referring to them in a way that provokes a defense on their part to a perceived insult.. a general statement such as "the rich" or "the poor" or "democrats" or "republicans" is quite different from a statement about "joe", "mary", "jose" or that places them in a disparaging context.. example: "republicans are racist" is quite different from "joe is racist.

  Sick sad letter. After examining all these great ideas for a response in hidef and 3D (in my mind lol) I think the best way to win...is not to play the game...

  Question about convention speaker procedure

  by JeffT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i know they have someone monitoring everything that gets said from the platform.

  what happens if the speaker gets way off script?

  for example, one of our fading elders decides to just start saying what he knows.

  Good solid comments on this topic. I can confirm much of it; when I gave DC parts they monitored all outlines in the chairman's office I watched them doing it, and yes, after my parts they would always bring me back to the chairman's office for a possible de-brief. I never had anything said to me other than "atta boy" myself but I knew of a couple brothers that got talked to about some infraction usually going overtime.

  @ Flipper - Getting media coverage of WT Shunning is one of the main efforts atm. The video was meant to reach the mainstream populace and press, to educate them about this destructive practice.

  As for buying airtime, I have purchased air for clients before and the cost depends on the area but can be as little as $10 per 30 seconds on small cable channels and as much as tens of thousands on other venues so I doubt that will happen anytime soon. But who knows if people donate and the funds are there it would be great.

  Public Awareness of extreme Shunning Practice of the Watchtower.

  by blindnomore in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses practices an inhumane policy of shunning.

  their leaders, the governing body, promote and enforce extreme shunning among their members to the point of cutting off the tie of family bond in the name of jehovah, well, really for the watchtower since no where in the bible promotes such practice.. .

  in the contrast to the watchtower's teaching, the bible teaches love that "covers multitude of sins".

  by iamwhoiam in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so does this mean aawa is going to stop shunning?

  are they themselves not guilty of shunning those who shun?

  shunning can never be stopped no matter how bad you want it to.

  @ Zed - You said:

  I know that a few people here think that I am just an AAWA basher. In truth I am a one trick pony."

  You said it Zed...you are a one trick pony, as you then go on to again bash AAWA and beat the dead horse that has been flogged two billion times on here for weeks. We all know that AAWA screwed up on the FB thing, and it should have been fixed sooner. Thanks for reminding us about it

  we almost forgot that you are a one trick pony!

  I am sure you will bring it up to your dying breath as the worst crime every committed in the history of the world. Then as your final coup de grace, you say:

  "In my book, this fundamentally makes him [Cedars] just as evil as the organization that he is attacking."

  Yep Mr. One Trick, Cedars is worse than Rutherford and Russell and Franz too...doesn't that seem like hyperbole to you? Really now bro...

  So here's my quote to you from the Tarantino film we both love:

  "Zed is dead baby...Zed is dead..."
