just got this from a real well informed, clear thinking, "sister" (?
(about the http://www.watchtower-victims.org/ site)
--- cynthia apperson --- [email protected] --- earthlink: the #1 provider of the real internet.
She apears to be the type that even if the evidence was in front of her, in black and white, she would still deny it.
Funny thing is, how many of us sounded just like her at one time?
Living in JW la la land does have one advantage.
You never have to face reality.

hey all!
me, elsewhere, jesika and her sister spent about four hours today at a busy intersection (the same intersection where jesika did the press conference, right in front of the k.h.!
) and passed out flyers to everyone at the light!
I'm proud of ya'all.
Actions DO speak louder than words, don't they?

the watchtower society has no right to claim the authority.
of moses for themselves.. how do i know?
the bible says so.. here's numbers 12:6-8:.
"even Moses made mistakes, just like the Watchtower."
Minimus,
Can you tell the diference between Moses and the WTS?
That's a question all JWs should be asked because many of them really don't seem to know.
Another line the JWs use is "even the apostles made mistakes."
Fact is, the WTS is not Moses or the apostles or any one else God has used in the past.
The JWs just can't seem to recognize the vast differences between them and those used by God in the Bible.
Those used by God.-----------------------The WTS
#1---- performed miracles-------------------Has NOT performed miracles.
#2---- Made true prophecies-----------------Has made FALSE prophecies.
#3---- Pointed to Jesus as the--------------Points to themselves saying, a persom
only way to salvation.----------------Must become apart of the WTS to maybe
-------------------------------------------be saved.
#5---- always had proof that they were
being used by God.---------------------------Has NO proof. NEVER had proof. NEVER will.
And there are many, many other differences.
So with all the differences, JWs still think the WTS is what they say they are.
This is exactly how cults get started.
Someone can say something others might like to hear.
The person offers no proof to back up what is being said.
But people are so desperate to believe it that they throw their God given powers of reason out the window.

this is true!
i heard it myself from a friend!
scientists from all over the world are reporting unprecedented increases in vulture population - armageddon must be near!!!!!!!
Maybe the male vultures got a hold on some Viagra.
That would explain the rise in the population of the birds.

Oh brother.
Is this the only response the ladies can give!?!?!
C'mon now.
We're talking football here.
What position is he playing?

the wts has used the fall of jericho as a prophetic pattern to show amongst other things that at the time of the end there would be an intensification of the preaching work to correspond with the israelites walking round the city seven times.
however, do we see an intensification?
do we see a hardening of the message?
People, People.
Have we forgotten the 'Good News' the JWs really teach???
What was the message you and I brought to the people at the doors???
The message was this.
ALL of the people on earth will be destroyed.
Except, the JWs.
So...If you want to be spared, maybe, you MUST become a JW.
And,you MUST go door to door and try to distribute the magazines.
And you MUST do MORE...MORE....MORE
Isn't that the real message the JWs preach?????
It's no wonder the preaching work is slowing down.
Most people realize the WTS is a false prophet.

for a very long time, i have held off on making my departure from the jw's official (though, i am as far removed from them as i can be) because of my mother.
i did not want her to feel she must shun me when there would be no one to replace my presence in her life.
this was for practical reasons as well as well as emotional.
I agree with Metatron.
"Don't play their game. Don't cooperate with their
sick system of repression. Don't DA yourself."
It's playing by their rules to DA yourself.
Of course it's your decision but if you ask me, and you kind of did by bringing this up on the board, the DA deal is just something the WTS would like members who no longer agree with them to do to make their (the WTS) job easier to have their members ignore, shun and otherwise treat as dead the ones who DA themselves.
What better way can the WTS have to ensure that their followers completely cut off those that don't agree with the WTS?
This way, any reasonable argument you may have about the WTS, any disagreement and any question you may have will fall on deaf ears.
Why play by their rules?
Do you agree that the WTS does not speak for God?
Do you agree that they are a man made and man run orginization?
Do you agree that their 5 meetings a week was nothing more than sales meetings to teach their free labor how to sell, place or anything you wish to call it, thier magazines?
Do you agree that they use fear tactics to control their followers?
If you agree with these things, you have already DA'd yourself in your heart.
You'll only make their job easier by putting it on paper.

hey everyone!
tink and i attended our first apostate meetup here in tn.
it was absolutely great.
I don't know if anyone told you guys, BUT xJWs are suppose to me miserable.
You guys should be gnashing your teath at the shame of being out of the CULT.
Er. I mean WTS.
Yes indeedy, The elders are going to hear of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice pictures BTW.
Maybe I'll get to go to an aposta-fest someday too.
We'll have to have one around Boston.

just a question to you parents out there.
i've never had teenagers before, so i'm kinda new at this.
my eldest daughter is 17 this month...and we have discussed the 'pill'.
I still say::::: HELL NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
What's the purpose of him sleeping over?
What do you think a teenage boy thinks about ALL the time?
Would you really not be woried about what could happen in the middle of the night?
I'm a father to a couple of girls.
I can just imagine them asking me if a boyfriend could sleep over.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
