APOSTATE DUBS----STONE COLD KILLERS?

by You Know in

as part of the sign of his presence, jesus said: "furthermore, brother will deliver brother over to death, and a father a child, and children will rise up against their parents and have them put to death.

until recently it was difficult to imagine how such a scenario might play itself out in fulfillment of christ's prophecy.

but, with the ongoing apostasy now accelerating, and the world's financial system rapidly crumbling, and rumors of war a part of daily life, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the stage is being set for jesus' words to become a horrifying reality.

I'm going to play YK's little cut and paste game....

What's worse, though, for you, is that you are not able to successfully defend yourselves even when you try. LOL / You Know

Now, back on page 2, I said this:

I'm evil?! That must mean that my father, who sexually, physically, and emotionally abused me and lied about it for 20 years whilst being an elder is a good man, since he's still a JW. My mother, who physically and emotionally abused me for 20 years, is a good woman, since she's technically still a JW. The elders, who covered it up and didn't even take away my father's "privileges" until I threatened to raise holy "hell" (to use a "worldly" phrase), and who refused to answer my letter when I asked simple questions begging for help, those elders are good people because they're still JWs. Me...I'm just living simply, harming no one, being honest about my past, and just being a good person in general....I'm evil. BEWARE THE EVIL ONE!!! OK, if I'm going to die, at least I'll die happy instead of feeling like a phoney and being in pain because my good parents and the good elders are still in my face every meeting.

Now, I noticed that YK has copied and pasted all kinds of comments all over the place, but he completely ignored this one, even though he replied right after me. What's the matter? Haven't got an answer for this? No witty reply? Hmmmm?

Sept. Magazines Ridiculous Quotes

by Sirona in

jw
friends

on reading the september issues of watchtower and awake, i had a good laugh at the hypocrisy that leaped out at me.awake sept 8th 2002 :"to believe that numerological interpretations are accurate, when they are based upon such widely variable factors as calendar and language, is to stretch the limits of credibility to an absurd degree.".

considering the amount of ridiculous number crunching done by the society, how amazing that they print that statement!

if i remember rightly 607 date is based on an interpretation of calendar dates and the 'language' of the bible (which they always manage to skew to their doctrine).

Wolfgirl

Oh brother. Those are some ridiculous quotes, alright. I thought JWs didn't believe in saints. That's what I always was told. *scratches head in confusion* And the number crunching one is just plain stupid.

'Signs' was awesome

by ashitaka in

jw
friends

signs is a great little flick to make you tense and think a bit.

the script is strong but not too serious, the directing is in with the genre, but tasteful, and the acting is intense all around.

i loved signs, and i normally despise all movies that come my way.. good stuff.. i don't want to give anything away, so have a good night.. ash

Wolfgirl

My aunt from the US just told me she was going to see it last night. It looks very interesting....anyone else see it as well?

Was there Intent?

by jelly in

i have noticed that many people that grew up as a jw have a very difficult time leaving the org.

the obvious reason is the fact that they are going to be rejected by their entire social circle and family.

but on a personal level i have noticed the culture of the average dub tends to keep them shackled also.. for instance the meeting arrangement; the multitude of meetings seemingly effect witnesses in three ways:.

Wolfgirl

I don't know the answer to your question. I could say yes, but I don't really KNOW, in all honesty. But I do agree with points 1, 2, and 3.

What a sad little life...........

by LyinEyes in

i heard this song on the radio yesterday, and everytime i hear it i get goose bumps and cry.

i thought i would post it , it seems to be so relevent now because of all the child abuse that is going on in the world right now.

there are so many forms of child abuse ranging in different degrees of depravity and cruelty.

Wolfgirl

I didn't find it bigoted at all. Everyone has their own personal experiences, and they're all different. No one said all believers are this and all nonbelievers are that.

My "believing" parents were/are abusive. My "nonbelieving" husband is not and could never be.

5 Year Old Cousin Says Who Will Live & Die

by Scarlet in

my husband and i took my 5 year old cousin to see lilo and stitch the other day.

(her mother has been a regular pioneer for 18 years) mind you this child cannot read or even count to 100. she out of the blue says to me "do you know if you do not go to meetings you will die at armagedon?

" she goes on to say that if she salutes the flag or eats birtday cake she will die and she knows her friend at school will die because she slautes the flag.

Wolfgirl

I did the same at 2 years old. I walked into my grandparents' house (they are not JWs), saw their Christmas tree up, and said, "Christmas is bad. You're going to die." At 2 years of age.

My grandparents are rejoicing now.

Deception From District Convention

by Mister Biggs in

this is a long article.

the writer's e-mail address is provided at the bottom.

in reading this, you will see how the jw's are misleading, how they use fear and/or scare tactics, and how women get no respect.

Wolfgirl

Lack of modesty is what led to the sexual abuse of children by priests.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh yes, I was an extremely immodest child. That's what made my elder father abuse me.

GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

Microphone "Handling"

by SYN in

what is all the fuss about?

when i was still assimilated (i.e.

still in the borg, but wanting out every second of that time), there was so much emphasis put on microphone handling that it was almost unreal.

Wolfgirl

LOL!!! I love it! Thanks for the giggle this morning.

And blondie....ROFL! The whole lake of fire where the sister already was...fantastic! One time, an elder's wife had a problem with a skirt I was wearing, so she sent her elder husband over to tell me I shouldn't be wearing it. She/he said it was because the slit was too long. The skirt came down to the middle of my shins, and the slit only went up to the back of my knees. Even at my youngish age (I think around 14 or so), I had a big mouth. I said, "Would you like to try walking in a skirt this long if it didn't have a slit in it?" And very pointedly looked at her instead of him. Loads of people heard me, and he still tried to tell me it was "immodest." I stood my ground though, and he backed down. Wuss.

As for embarrassing moments...I was told my skirt fell down once when I was young, but I don't remember. So nothing too embarrassing.
