  One Watchtower phrase that's still worth quoting; "Religion is a snare and a racket".

  It's disdain not distain. Didn't Jesus say something about giving an answer to anyone who demanded it?

  You didn't clearly answer Godbelievers question.

  What about billions of people who do not believe in Jesus's sacrifice. What is going to happen to them?

  I'd like a straight answer to that one too Vanderhoven.

  All those Hindu's, Sikhs, Muslims, Atheists and everyone else who refuses to "bend the knee" - what has your loving god got in store for us?

  Vanderhoven" Jehovah’s Witnesses are under a curse

  So the family I love are 'cursed' are they? Bah! You're no better than they are when they call everyone else 'worldly'.

  If that really is a private message between Dijana and LE it has nothing to do with my issues with him other than showing the utter human tragedy of it all.

  I wouldn't share it and I wonder how it came into circulation.

  So much for 'iron sharpening iron'. It's a shame.

  You know you're in the wrong religion when you're in a religion.

  Seriously though Vanderhoven, if you're up for a respectful discussion I'm all for it.

  You're confusing him with a writer.

  It's tiring just following this endless stream of events, imagine being at the centre of it all. How does he even get up in the morning?

  The useless, time wasting, energy sapping futility of it all. How can he sip his coffee and think; "yep, this is the life I want".

  Chasing down every perceived slight or criticism (99% deserved). Fabricating illusions of a 'legal team', building lone warrior fantasies about taking on the might of a religious cult. What kind of Messiah complex accounts for all of this?

  It will all be over one day and I genuinely hope he survives it all and finds some peace.

  He really needs to be gone though, he's generating heat, not light. He's crowded out and shouted down so many individuals who would otherwise be providing their own unique voices to help enquiring JW's.

  We used to grease each others wheels, we still do to an extent. Evans only adds friction to the community, he never helps out anyone unless it helps him more.

  For the sake of your sanity Lloyd, for the sake of your daughters and your long suffering wife, just call it a day.

  It'll be the best decision you ever made.
