First, I didn't realize I was part of an organization by posting on this web site? It's a message board, a message board that happens to strike a deeper chord then most message boards, and that may give it the appearance of an organization at times, but it's just a message board. your attempts at honoring your friend are noble, but you sound extremely naive and young. ask yourself, if you started this web board, you would feel fairly proud of yourself wouldn't you? then picture someone coming here constantly trying to divert people to a different web site to take away your capital and traffic? you want to extend your freedom of speech? then promote the venue which grants you this freedom, not some other venue.

I did this to my mother too....although in retrospect, i was just pissed at her and it was a convenient weapon. heh she was probably on this message board complaining about what a bastard i was haha. our relationship is fine now, better than ever. i remember when she showed me this old ass jw book with pyramids in it and all this....i was just thinking this is some kind of a trick, now i know the truth about russell and the rest of them. i think it can be summed up with that video posted of the GB signing bibles, they don't own god but apparently they think they do, and they put that in other people's minds also. maybe try and see if he has some kind of lingering resentment or something. i have no idea who you are or anything about your life but, that was my situation. i was angry about a lot of other things like i said, and used this weapon of the jws as an excuse in many cases.

Keep testing the scriptures to prove this is not the "truth"
by label licker inwhat's your favorite scripture to prove that watchtower's doctrines were false.
mine was romans 6:7 where they say it's our death that's aquitted us of our sins when it was jesus death that aquitted us of our sins.
our death doesn't have that ability to do that.

that seems especially redundant. it may as well say "upon death you are released from craving cookies".

This is interesting because I was around the borg for approximately 10 years, sometimes at a distance, sometimes closer up, but this is something that I did not hear until very late in the game before I left for good. I never saw the scripture that I heard some of them discussing; the scripture which was the basis for this notion of death releasing a person from their sins? I already knew that they would give people a higher percentage of making it into the "new system" based on dying, seeing that they would be resurrected and basically be forced to believe-- realizing that you would have to be a genuine schmuck to reject a god that just resurrected you from the dirt. This was new to me though, a scripture that actually said you would be released of sin upon death? they making death sound better and better! would love to hear that one explained.

Aliens On Earth - Not Kidding?
by metatron inhttp://www.ufo-blogger.com/2012/12/russia-disclosure-aliens-are-living.html.
a short while back, the russian prime minster gave an off camera interview in which he not only confirmed the existence of extraterrestrials but said that many of them live amoung us - a subject that could cause panic.. his remarks were reported as a joke - particularly because he referred to "men in black".
however, was he joking?

Reminds me of an old comedian, I saw it on a dvd(not my era) Sid Caesar? he was doing a bit and he said, 'how do you get your barber to cut your hair like that?' and he said , 'i insult him'.

"There will be blood" - I DO BELIEVE there will be an up rise very soon
by raymond frantz ini was moved from the post of another user on this topic.like the film "there will be blood" that deals with passive aggression in religion i do now think that there will be an inevitable uprise against the lunatics of the governing body .too many of us wake up in a rate that has never been seen before because of the internet .what do you think ?
what shape will this uprise take ?.

the funny thing is, to some people it may sound out there, but it is inevitable. if you look at trends of the last 30 years, they almost always run their full cycle. rarely do you see hot button issues (that have stirred up local random blue collar people) that just dissipate, they almost always continue to build until finally climax. the election of a black president underscores just such anger that started small and then exploded. look at all the stuff that went on with plane hijackings in the 1980's too (plenty of movies on it)...you think the anger that drove those men would just disappear? no it elevated to mass murder. so really, when you see these guys setting up in front of kingdom halls with their little podium and iphone recording them, talking to nothing as members file into the building....you can pretty much bet that the next step will come and eventually climax. then what? armed guards all over bethel? will be hard to "tell the brothers to have faith" when you all are walking around with armed escorts, there's your faith.

Movie: "There will be Blood"
by cptkirk ina lot of what i have to say with regard to the only religion that i really know, which is the wt org, centers around passive aggression.
i know that as soon as i use that phrase many people just get the blank deer in the headlights expression on their face, but of all the various psychological phenomena contained within this context, this is without a doubt the largest.
obviously cognitive dissonance and others are mentioned.. it dawned on me earlier, the movie which is cited in the topic, basically the entire premise of this movie is religion using passive aggression to really skull#$%$ people, while holding the line that they are just doing god's will (in a very personal setting here).

I saw so much of this in the JW religion that it leads me to believe that there is no way to avoid the inevitable reckoning that is coming. I have no idea what that reckoning will look like, and frankly i don't even want to be a part of it. i just want to live my life and then die like everyone else with a bible in my hand with the assured expectation that i am now going to heaven, or hell, really what does it even matter? in my time studying human chemistry, the most powerful of all human qualities is the engrained power of self sustainment. with that in mind, really wherever you go is a victory, as long as you are going somewhere. the great enemy is blackness more than hell.
maybe the whole point of this movie was just that, to show how religion using god to carry out their own passive aggressive wars (or obviously in some cases purely aggressive wars) will inevitably lead to a war where everyone goes insane and then dies.
