i truly don't understand the mindset of a troll.
i know it's been explained, but i still don't get it.
it is hard to distinguish between a troll and a jw apologist at times because the reactions are very similar.
Because they can.
It's kind of like what some might see on their morning commute in rush-hour traffic:
People who wouldn't even look at you square in the eyes if you brushed by them on a sidewalk will give you the finger for some perceived offense when you're on the highway.
Not that this happens much during my commute ;)
so, you left because of a bad example(s).. why all the whining?
nothing better to do with your time?.
you at least know far more about the bible than any church-goer?.
This site should be called Anti-Jehovahs-Witnesses Cry-babies
Actually this site should be called Occasionally an Asshole Shows Up.
my wife found this 1/4 page ad on page 2 of yesterday's nj star-ledger, probably the biggest newspaper in nj.
pretty telling.. .
Ok, so several posts back I said
I do not think any of this will be a slam dunk.
Then RICHARD OLIVER said
I said that people on here think that it will be a slam dunk or now will just be easy wins here on out.
If that isn't trolling, I don't know what is.
when i was young everybody used to fantasise constantly about how brave we would all need to be "when the persecution comes".
we worried about what "they" would do to us and how we would never talk or betray other jws.
psychologically it was a damaging environment for children; but maybe that's another topic.. who would have thought that when it finally came it would take the form of being sued for protecting pedophiles.

Part of my "awakening" was doing research and seeing that this "persecution fantasy" or "persecution complex" was not unique to JWs, but part and parcel of any fundamentalist christian's worldview.

My only contention is that this is going to be extremely hard even if they win, it is not a slam dunk for future cases. --RO
I do not think any of this will be a slam dunk.
I also do not think that this firm went to the trouble of all this publicity with the mindset, "I think we'll win very little if anything."
What I think this firm (and whoever their associated firms are) brings to the table is bringing lawsuits en masse against WT -- something we haven't seen with the Zalkin/Simons one-offs here and there around the country.
Again, we'll see what happens.
Melania looks nice doesn't she? -- FREDDO
Yes, I thought she looked stunning in her outfit (evidently Ralph Lauren).
Could someone remind me where she went to school?

interestingly Erin Brockovich works with the company - yeah you know that Erin Brockovich, as in Julia Roberts who won the Oscar for playing Erin Brockovich in the accalimed film called 'Erin Brockovich' -- DARKSPILVER
I had no idea. That is wild! Thanks for sharing the info.
Again, as long as they suck WT dry and do right by their clients, good for them.
And as far as the speculation as to what precedent there is for suing or how successful lawsuits are, time will tell. Let's see what happens.
Just the notoriety SUCKS for WT.
They're all about appearances, and this doesn't appear to be so great.
I am just really hoping that this is truly the tip of the iceberg. -- LITS
Aren't we all!
ok, so i don't know if this is "old news", and if this has been seen, and or mentioned already.
if it was, i do apologize, but i feel i have to mention what has been seen on tv, within the past 24 hours.. first off, i would like to say that i did not personally see this commercial.
however, it was seen by someone that i can verify 100% is telling the truth, as it was my own father who saw it.
WOW.
Thanks for posting the ad DARKSPILVER.
i heard in years past that there was such a tract planned for the great tribulation.
my father at the time denied this, and reasoned that that would not be a loving thing for them to do, to essentially say, "told ya so!".
last year, the bunker videos had brother brown mention "a message of judgment".. has such material been drafted or is this just another bluff?.
The only Watchtower End-of-Days Tract I've encountered is this one:
the following article will address these questions, and attempt to answer them.. after helping jwfacts with his page on animal suffering, i decided to write this article.. it is mainly aimed at helping jehovahs witnesses and other believers in god to think about the issue, as well as the apparent contradictions in watchtower teaching.. thanks must go to jwfacts for the encouragement, and giving me permission to use an image from his page and to use some of the quotes.. also, thankyou to cofty for general moral support.. please let me know what you think everybody, and feel free to reproduce any part or all of the article on any other website, just post and let me know that you've used it on your site please.. (i'd appreciate it if anyone could post to tell me they found a point in here useful, it would encourage me to keep going).. okay, here it is:.
why does god allow animal suffering?.
does it trouble you to see animals in pain?.
What was the purpose in that? -- CS
And the purpose in this? [largest animal slaughter in the world, Nepal 2014]
Fantastic (and comprehensive!) post, DoT.
