  I think that possibly most of us as Jws, and now Ex Jws are caring people. As Jws we percieved people as needing help, we did what we thought was best at the time with the information we had.

  Possibly the same thing now, we spend time helping lurkers take that step into reality and into real life, what's left of it anyways.

  If I leveridge my time into helping others, and they do the same, more and more people will have an easier time waking up and getting out as they will see that their are masses of people that are here and are caring for them.

  I value human life as I feel that this is the only life we will ever experience. Whether it was me or another person entrapped by the WTBTS I feel a burning pain to do what I can to help them out of that mess. To recognize this and to just walk away from those in need, to me is tantamount to what Danmerdinglebum said about the burning building and not helping people get out. Imagine getting out of quicksand and then turning around and seeing others still struggling to get out and just walking away and saying " Am I glad I got out of that mess, keep up the struggle guys, some of you might make it, see yah if you do"

  Also I actually get a feeling of relief when I see a new person posting for the first time as I know another life has been released from the prison.

  If your talking literally, the Memorial would be the perfect place for them to pull this off.

  If they EVER come up with a reason for ALL to drink the wine and eat the bread, you need to make a hasty exit.

  Not that it would ever happen, but if it would, that would be the perfect place and time.

  Is Prince allowed to wear an ear cuff?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  wearing ear spirals (ear cuffs) traces back to the ancient times.

  it has been found out that most egyptians wear them based on the paintings found on the pyramids.

  ear cuffs and other jewelries are only worn by royalties back then.. is this scriptural?.

  The Apostate Boogeyman

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  londo has written a great article (imo) about how apostates are a figment of the jw imagination, fomented and concocted by none other than the watchtower.

  not necessarily the dictionary definition of the word apostate, which simply means a person who leaves their religion, for by that definition everyone who leaves any religion to become a jw is an apostate.

  no, it is jw conception of the apostate, both as an individual and as a group that is imaginary.. .

  why do I write?

  by Separation of Powers in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i must admit, i feel rather like winston smith from orwell's 1984. i sit here in front of the image of a blank piece of paper on my computer screen.

  i am alone in my study, alone, but like winston, i am hesitant to write on this blank piece of paper, fearful that i am under the watchful eye of the telescreen.

  it is a form of paranoia, i guess, a paranoia that is synonymous with being in the organization; an organization that worries more about perception than substance.
