  State your "epiphany moment " for leaving the WT

  by caliber in

  2. friends

  i have found some powerful reinforcements when people have stated their " epiphany moment "... please share some.. my turning pointing began when i was badly hurt by a person i had always viewed as a literal brother.

  i realized that if his.

  love was conditional.... if it was the case with him , then how about those i had less affection for and trust in ?.

  The futility of political debate on an ex-JW forum

  by willyloman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a forum for fomer jehovah's witnesses.

  that is a cult that drills into its members the concept that the political process is evil, delusional, selfish, greedy, and satanic.

  it's fascinating to hear so many political naifs express themselves with such certainty and fervor.

  Is there Attorney-client privilege for communications sent directly to Bethel legal?

  by sinis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if a person retained a lawyer to draft up a document indicating that they no longer want to be an enrolled member (jw's) and therefore annul their baptsim, and send it certified mail directly to an individual named lawyer sitting at bethel, would they not be protected under attorney-client privilege and therefore non disclosure of the information with a third party?

  i would think if this was the case and the information was forwarded to the boe, could not the bethel attorney be sanctioned or disbarred?.

  June 15 W/T - "Should Youths Get Baptised?"

  by sizemik in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the above mentioned article caught my eye for a couple of reasons .

  .. it is obvious to most observers that the children of active jw's provide a potential "large army" and in spite of the attrition rate of jw youths (around 2/3's i believe), it's a resource the borg are keen to maximise.

  there tactics appear to be encouraging baptism at an ever younger age.

  The real story about the tea party movement

  by lifeisgood in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i started this thread because some people are telling lies in another thread about the tea party.. i am one of the volunteers that helps arrange and put on tea party rallies in southern mississippi.

  we do not have a membership roll.. we are not a political party.. we have one basic issue that we are addressing, which is: we want federal spending to be lower than federal revenues.

  we do not say how this is to be achieved.. some liars on this site are claiming that the tea parties are actively pushing to achieve the balanced budget by cutting only liberal policies.

  My Motives For Denouncing Homophobia and Bigotry

  by PublishingCult in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just want to be clear on this.

  some have attributed my motives for denouncing homophobia and bigotry to my being gay.

  some have come to the conclusion that i must be gay for shouting down the homophobes and bigots on this board.
