  The Only Real Power You Have Is Personal Boycott!

  each person counts with their personal vote.

  you might complain about a restaurant or a car dealership or about something else.

  when you didn't get what you paid for.

  Each person counts with their personal vote.

  You might complain about a restaurant or a car dealership or about something else. When you didn't get what you paid for.

  But in the end your only real power besides telling others is not going to that restaurant or using that mechanic again.

  Yes, you can boycott them and walk away as simple as that.

  However this is easily said but not necessary easily done as we all know here.

  The enmeshment of a religion, of this religion makes things far more difficult.

  There are over lapping generations of brain washed followers. With all the enmeshment of children and parents and the only friends we have ever known, makes this anything but easy.

  So really the analogy that was used earlier in a different thread of the Nazis guard at the concentration camp making the choice of "just walking away" I think is a poor one.

  You have been indoctrinated as a small child. All your friends and family are Nazis. It is the only world you have ever known.

  So yes you could say no more and walk away from the death camps. You would be shot on the spot and you would be in disgrace with friends and family.

  Was this possible? Sure. Did it happened much? No. Will those guards be judged for their actions? Yes. What will their excuses be? We had orders.

  At Nuremberg the victors said this was not enough. Really? Well, the allied flyers with orders had no problem fire bombing the city Dresden just a few before the war was over. A city that had no military presents. There were over 100,000 civilian casualties. They had orders.

  What If a miracle happened and the Watchtower Bible and Truck Society fell apart over night. There would be thousands of people who had shunned their children, some of whom to the point where they even committed suicide. What if they were asked the question of why did that? What would their answer be?

  We were under orders? Of course they they were under orders. Did they have a choice? Sure they did.

  However, but for the grace of god there goes all of us.

  I say this as someone who has both been the prisoner and the guard.

  We will condemn ourselves afterwards, more than any court of law will. This will happen to the parents who were able to turn their backs on their own children for the sake of a religion or an ideology.

  Casting your vote and personal boycott could be the right and contagious thing to do.

  It will not always happen that way.

  For this is a complicated mess indeed.

  I feel for the prisoners and guards. On the other hand I hate the system that made them both.

  The truth is, that few people know about is this that Knorr was actually raised in the "Hitler Youth." After showing signs of leadership he was assigned by Adolf Hitler himself to come to the Untied States and infiltrate the Watch Tower Bible and tract society. He worked his way up the ranks and became president. This worked out well for the Nazis because Knorr made all JW males noncombatants in WW2 and thus there would be less people that would go to war in this country and fight against the Nazis.

  Do your research it's all right there.

  After watching A&E Leah Remini on Jehovah Witnesses I am going to stop hiding behind my Avatar

  just got done watching this program and what impress me the most was the bravery of those x-witnesses to sit there on national tv and tell everyone how the wt.

  cult affected them.

  no hidden faces, no avatar names and no disguise.

  The End of World War 1 was Exactly 100 Years Ago

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  2. friends

  it is so amazing that the end of wwi was signed exactly 100 years ago!

  and in just a few more hours, at 11:00am on 11 november 2018, paris time, the combat actually stopped!

  (the war wasn´t officially over until 1919).it is such a historic moment, for the entire world, but also for jw´s, and for exjw´s.for almost the entire length of the war, the witnesses thought that the war was the prelude to armageddon.

  No hidden motive.

  "Just yes I've been here." seems simple.

  You know checking who the regulars are.

  Since no one knows your real names (and I'm not asking for them) how can you have "fear and paranoia" about being found out?

  So my saying yes I have been here, how is this helping people find out who you really are....I really don't understand.

  Movies that make you cry?

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there have been many but i had a total melt down at the end of sophie's choice.

  i hadn't cried in years before i saw that movie in in 1982. i was still very much a jw at the time.

  i have no idea where the pain and sorrow came from, maybe it was the fact there are things people have gone through that we have defied all reason logic.

  What Do You Think Will Be The Next Big Change In The Watchtower?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think there will be a change in the 144000 belief.

  too many witnesses think they have a heavenly hope.

  maybe 1914 will be discarded too.. what is your watchtower prediction?

  The next "new light" will be that most the people killed at Armageddon will be resurrected. I was all a big joke and Jehovah will give almost everybody a second chance.

  That would test their humility.
