One reason why I left.
Come to Colombia! Though there are lots of snakes here!

ok, does this thing sound right to you?
2 special trees, middle of the garden, 30 years messin' about (at least according the spineless and shivering slave) blah blah blah .... and it never occured to the dumb twat to eat from the tree of life?
what a dumbass!
So J Edgar Hoover puts these 2 special trees in the middle of the garden, right, the tree of life & the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, and says,
"Look Adam, you simple twat, just use the brains I gave you, listen carefully, again! I am putting 2 VERY SPECIAL trees in the middle of the garden where you can find them real easy, see? Now I am telling you that you are not to eat the fruit of just ONE of them, hint hint, and look, I am putting ALL the other trees and veggie stuff there to serve as food for you, hint hint. Get it?"
Adam: "So I am not to eat of the 2 trees in the middle..."
Hoover: "No, no, you are not to eat of just one of the very special trees, the tree of knowledge of good and bad. The tree of life, on the other hand I have put no restrictions upon, get it?"
Adam: "Right. I am not to eat of any tree that is, or may be, in or round about the middle of the garden. Where is that by the way, can you make a signpost or something, I think I'm a bit lost."
Hoover: "Adam, I think I'm going to make a helper for you..."

What a dumbass! No wonder his supposed descendents never noticed God lied about the whole thing and the serpent actually told the truth!
Kinda reminds me of the Frank Zappa song: Dumb all over, A little ugly on the side... Dumb all over, A little ugly on the side... Dumb all over, A little ugly on the side... Dumb all over, A little ugly on the side...
of course you know the answer... how ironic.
i swear, jehovah's witnesses only come when i'm hanging out in sweatpants and a tank top with no bra on.
if i am wearing a bra, they don't come.
A sister & I were on field service and as we arrived at the front of this secluded house, we were confronted by a large glass patio door, and the couple inside were also otherwise engaged. She was bent over the table and also had no bra, or any type of clothing for that matter, and he was.... well, one of the few good memories!
link anyone? Can't load the original post.
i guess it's seven years or so since i left, and back then i knew exactly what i would say when members of my cong would come and see me about my absence.
strangely, no one, not one, came and talked about my sudden absence.
i had actually planned a small speech that i could use when friends or the elders eventually came to see me.
But if you had a chance to say just one thing - to plant a seed - what do you think would be most effective? If you wanted to make an impact, and you just had a minute or so, which topic or detail would you choose?
Perhaps the lie in the introduction of the NWT about always translating JEHOVAH in the "Christian" scriptures (NT) the same way?
Or ask why they were/are? not allowed to believe in chimpanzees?

Ok,
I guess it's seven years or so since I left, and back then I knew exactly what I would say when members of my cong would come and see me about my absence. Strangely, no one, not one, came and talked about my sudden absence. I had actually planned a small speech that I could use when friends or the elders eventually came to see me. It never happened.
But now, although - or probably because - I know so much about the lies, I think I would be stumped if I had a window of opportunity to speak about just one subject in order to help the hapless Witless. Time has taken its toll and I want a bit of help.
So my question is this, if you had the opportunity suddenly to speak to a Dub – to help them out of the Borg – what would you say to them?
the battle rages on, i sent this letter to try to give support...what do you think?.
ok, i'm done with the _____thing...but i took the option to participate in going to the kh with you.
i making an effort, but at times you turn away from my questions and you'd never do that to a "book study".
kzjw You are doing the right thing by following your desire to help her and tell her how much you love her. You seem like a decent guy. You just continue to do what you feel is good, and let her respond accordingly, but remember she has two personalities - the real her and the cult her. Only time will tell which personality will win, and you must decide how much time you can give her. Life is short.
Sometimes things work out as you hope, sometimes not. I wish you luck.
i would like to know how jw's reconcile their world view with the fact that there exists creatures that live solely on blood.
bed bugs are in the news at the moment so they serve as a good example.
bed bugs live solely on the blood of animals.. ok, please explain to me how you reconcile the belief of creation by jehovah with the existence of bed bugs?.
... and still silence from Creationists..... not good fishing today methinks......
why is it soooo important to be a regular meeting attender when you can read the publication simply, at home?
they don't want you elaborating on the material.
they don't encourage doing extra research.
It's all about SACRIFICE
The more a cult can make you sacrifice, the committed you will be to the cult. So asking for your time, or a promise to die for the cult or allow your kids to die (blood card), represents a huge SACRIFICE. People who have sacrificed for the cult are less likely to challenge the cult. For e.g. if you let your kid die over the blood issue, would you ever be able to admit it was all for nothing for a bullshit cult? Highly unlikely.
MORE SACRIFICE = MORE COMMITMENT
