" Well, Brother Biteme, if by "peace movement" you mean that handing somebody a Watchtower instead of a crust of bread when he's starving makes less noise...you are correct. If by "peace movement" you mean being too self centered and self righteous to take up arms for the country that allows you to choose to BE a "peace movement"...you are correct. If by "peace movement" you mean silencing people who have been molested in order to keep the PEACE in your Kingdom Halls...you are correct. If by "peace movement" you mean condemning all other voices that speak of God but your own twisted hateful tongues...you are correct. Now if you will excuse me, I have an appointment at the blood bank."

About a month ago, I found a gold charm for a charm bracelet of a jet. I was going to give it to my flight attendant friend across the street. I picked it up last Wed and put it on a chain around my neck. Every time I look at it...well...I look at it a lot. People from 40 different countries were killed in that massacre. Not just Americans. I prefer to remember all of them.

My Encounter with a Witness
by Unclepenn1 inwell, the other night i had invited a young man to my house to share with him, respectfully, the false prophecies of the wt, using older wt books.
the conversation started very nicely, with the usual small talk and such.
i decided to ask some questions, that i knew the answers to, but just wanted to get the gears in his head turning.

Hi UP :) That was very brave of you actually to takee him on. The newbies are the most fearsomely engrained with doctrine and hardest, I think to shake. But he will go to more studies and more calls and will hear those same things you said over and over and over. I dont think it will take years. His curiousity will get the best of him and he will maybe hit the internet or start looking at his own old literature in the hall library.
Once I started to REALLY doubt, even after being in 13 years, it was a quick exit :)

Hi JB :) Well maybe he has to stay or lose his entire family...thats a heavy duty incentive to stay. But by his being inside he can reach more people, and...give us out here these lovely tidbits even before the rank and file know. Im grateful for his presence inside. I feel bad that he is there, and you know...it hurts more to stay when you dont, with every fiber, want to be there one more second...but you cant go.
love ya

The JWs in the chat rooms have been denying VEHEMENTLY that their organization reacted this way. How well the Society hides their selfishness and their self preservation from the masses. And....particularly well do they hide it from the public. Their PR site would of course lead ONES to believe they give a shit.
Millions upon millions of EXJWS know they REVEL in this and other catastrophe's as a CAUSE to place literature.
I AM gonna puke.

Beautifully said Doug :) Im sure wherever your dad is, he's saying boy howdy did I SCREW UP wasting my life in that cult. More people will read this than will listen to that Jehovahs Witness Infomercial they so coldly read at JW funerals. Nothing sickens me more than taking advantage of the sorrow of others to SELL PRODUCTS and thats all that talk is.
I hope somebody remembers me that fondly.
