"...spewing venom..."
Pointing out falsehoods and speaking truth is NOT spewing venom.

JWs have more good points than bad
by lsw1961 in1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).
2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.
this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

Myth Dispelled! Leaving the Organization is NOT Leaving God
by LeftMyReligionToFindGod init's true, leaving the organization does not mean you leave god.
as someone who was raised in the "truth" i always heard the messaging that if you leave the organization you leave god and lose his protection.
after disassociating myself, i even believed that and began on a path of self-destructive behaviour as i was leaving behind every relationship i had ever known and very ill equipped to live in the "real world" growing up, i always felt there was a higher power and our purpose was more than living a few decades.

Leaving the JW's has actually improved my personal relationship with Zeus. It's wonderful, isn't it? -

You could also claim ignorance. "He's disfellowshipped? Since when? Why did no one tell me? I must have missed that meeting! Well, shucks, brother. Thanks for letting me know. That darn cousin of mine should have told me, shouldn't he? Gee willickars! Boy do I have egg on my face! Hahahahahaha! See ya!" -

One Year Later - A Thank You to Tony Morris.
by cappytan indear anthony morris, iii:.
i wanted to send you a note of "thanks" on this special day.. why is this day special, you may ask?
one year ago today, you, tony, woke me up to the fact that the governing body could not have jehovah's blessing or direction.. last year, on november 8th & 9th, 2014, the united states branch visit was broadcast to over 1,000,000 jehovah's witnesses across the country.. as i sat at the kingdom hall listening to the "historic occasion," i was ignoring certain doubts that had surfaced in the few months prior.

Dear Anthony Morris, III:
I wanted to send you a note of "thanks" on this special day.
Why is this day special, you may ask? One year ago today, you, Tony, woke me up to the fact that the Governing Body could not have Jehovah's blessing or direction.
Last year, on November 8th & 9th, 2014, the United States Branch visit was broadcast to over 1,000,000 Jehovah's Witnesses across the country.
As I sat at the Kingdom Hall listening to the "historic occasion," I was ignoring certain doubts that had surfaced in the few months prior. I had decided to wait on Jehovah to address those issues I had. I had every intention of remaining one of Jehovah's Witnesses and continuing in my service in the organization.
Then you took the stage in all your glory. By the time your talk was over, all the doubts I had been ignoring resurfaced and within 24 hours of thinking about the audacity of your talk, I had accepted that you and the governing body did not have Jehovah's spirit or blessing. Like ancient Israel of old, I felt you had forsaken the spirit of the law and were no longer in Jehovah's favor.
Implying a homosexual conspiracy to put men in tight pants, amongst other things, was ludicrous, to say the least. The attitude you displayed towards the flock was one of disdain and haughtiness.
I am glad to inform you, Mr. Morris (for I refuse to call you brother), that because of your talk, I am now free of the influence of your organization, my wife is now free as well, and so are my children.
Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Sean aka Cappytan

The sanctity of life in which was giving.
What's more important? The symbol of life? Or the life itself?
Any blood transfusion you take today isn't taken from a dead person. Every mention of pouring the blood on the ground in the scriptures was talking about something that had died.

Farewell
by EdenOne in"don't be dismayed by good-byes.
a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

EdenOne: sorry to see you go.
Some of your posts were part of the many other posts that inspired me to finally join the forum.
I wish there was a block function on this forum. I personally wouldn't block Viviane as I have no beef with her, but I can see it being a useful function for situations like yours.
Namaste, EdenOne.
