  Watch Tower Publishing Literature To Incite Hatred Towards All Religions, All Earthly Government, And People Not Jehovah Witnesses

  by frankiespeakin in

  now i know that there are some here that can supply plenty of documented proof as to the hatred inciting teachings of the past presidents and the now rulling governing body in the literature they export world wide.. any former member who has changed his mind and no longer excepts these hate inspireing teachings of the governing body is labeled "mentally diseased" meaning these people are to be avoided because they have a catchy mental malfunction that is deadly.. all governments are controlled by an invisible master mind who has only evil intentions and is leading the vast majority of the human race to thier destruction.

  and thier followers are encouraged to hate what jehovah hates and jehovah hates all the governments of the earth includeing isreal and even the united nations of which they are members as an ngo.. in russia thier literature is rightly ban because it is reccognized as hatred inspireing.

  (no shit sherlock!).

  We seem to be saying nasty things about them. If you want to sue them for infringement of your rights, go ahead. Maybe the ACLU will help you. None of us, not even us born ins, can say that a gun was held to our heads and we were forced to do what they said. I hate the shunning aspect of the Borg, yet they have the right to do it as much as you have the right to shun them back and post anything you want to. Your cannot force other people to talk to you. They could be shunning you because you are too tall, have crooked teeth, were jeans. People cannot and should not be forced to do things they don't want too. Free will, even for JW's comes into play.

  Should they be taxed? Yes! The Borg happily uses services from the government that they don't pay for, but, so do all religions. They should all be taxed. Their tax exempt status is questionable. Not their right to free speech.

  Any governments erroding of freedom of speech is scary, including Russia. People should have the right to believe what they want to, read what they want too as long as they are not hurting anyone. i.e., child porn, snuff films, inciting people to commit crimes. I never expected everyone I met to like me. Some have probably outright hated me. That is their priviledge. I reserve the right to dislike people too. Most of us here freely express our disdain for the Borg. Our freedom of speech here could be viewed as hateful, yet we all are happy to have a place to vent. Wouldn't it be horrible if we were censured for our opinions? It would be nice if the Borg reviewed their own literature and realised it is hateful, but they won't do that. To have a government review things and decide what can and can't be printed is dangerous.

  what are my chances of getting the elders to hold regular congregation prayers for me with suspect cancer.

  with the view to be healed, not "made strong".

  i have never heard of any prayers offered up for a sick or dying individual.. .

  Zeb-Sorry about your suspected cancer, it is very scary waiting for the test results to come in. I wish you strength to deal with this stressful time.

  Pronouncing it RIGHT

  by Christ Alone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what rules do you follow when pronouncing foreign names/places/things?

  i was remembering that when we were studying the daniel book for the book study back in the day, someone released a pronunciation guide.

  i remember studying it closely so i could pronounce all the names right (especially on the section of daniel 11).

  The Jews were ordered to wear fringed garments with blue thread above them. Jesus was used to symbols because of religious worship, he probably wouldn't have a problem with crosses to identify someone as a Christian.

  I am exhausted emotionally.

  i have been reading ashley judd's 'all things bitter and sweet' autobiography, and it has exhausted me.

  she paints a picture of neglect and abuse from early childhood on.

  as i sat reading, i realised i was identifying with so much of what she wrote.. why, when having an emotional breakdown as a teenager, major obsessive compulsive disorder, obvious depression symptoms, would you refuse to get medical help for your child?

  Thanks Tammy-You are right, it does place the parents' aledged 'lifesaving' work above the lives of their own kids...no wonder so many kids leave the borg looking for something far better.

  By the way, the Ashley Judd book talks alot about her humanitarian work world wide. I've been wanting to get involved with something, to give back to the community, but have been held back by my JW indoctrination, i.e., what's the point, only Jah will be able to help people in a lasting way. This book has made me realize that anything I do to help the live(s) of others less fortunate will be worth while. Our local library is asking people to come help teach other adults how to read, this is something I can do to give back to my community.
