  Usual,

  Must be something in the air, or it is the thought of spring that makes me mischievious. I wrapped the KH in bright green crape paper last night. It looked real nice.

  Sorry did not mean to sound hostile. It is just why would anyone who is not having any difficulties come here? Seems he is doing fine with family and the JW and is free to come and go as he pleases and even announce he is gay. Doesn't make sense.

  Because you are "inactive" and announced you are gay. I believe you are a troll

  Window Peepers

  by piztjw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so today one of the local elders came around to "check out how you are doing.".

  i didn't really feel like putting up with the interrogation, or the false concern so i decided that i didn't "hear" the doorbell.

  the guy decided he needed to circle my home and peek in the windows to see if i was home or not.

  with the new pope franciscus in mind, i was thinking about our new gb member mark sanderson.. how is our mark chosen to be one of the 8 members of the gb / fds?

  are there internal headhunters at the watchtower hq?.

  what is his cv?

  Gorba,

  I think you have a very valid question. We all know how the Pope, president and other important figures are elected, for all we know it could be George Soros that puts a GB member in place.

  Question about talking to JW

  by darklight in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised atheist and never believed in any religion.

  i've been studying the watchtower religion with a younger jw couple for some months now.. my main motivation was the fact i knew nothing about christianity, they knocked on my door and offered their "bible" study... so why not learn something, i thought.. .

  and yeah, this is one crazy cult.... .

  Why not ask them about their shunning practices???? See if they will even discuss it. Ask them point blank what happens if you disagree with them after you are baptized? Don't let them topic jump!

  just to give sulla some reprieve, although being on a holy high this week is going to be tough to top- evangelical darling pat boone called the president ....... a marxist, socialist, kenyan muslim, and and a progressive ('progressive' is the worstededed 4 letter name you can be called you know).

  .

  this is what a pop singer does with his time since he hasn't had a hit since he covered little richards- a bop bop, a loo mop, a lop mop mop tuttie fruiti!!!.

  Your not alone Mosche and Happy.

  For the rest of you who think Obama is the best thing since sliced bread can you please tell me what in the world happened in Bengasi? (sp) This is a bigger coverup than Watergate could ever dream of becoming.

  Hypocritical comments by JWs regarding the Catholic Church in light of the new Pope.

  i'm curious, what can you expect to hear from jws this week?

  or have you heard anything already.

  since awakening, i find it to be hilarious when jws badmouth catholics and the pope but are completely oblivious to how hypocritical they are considering the gb and other wt heavyweights..

  Steve and Horten,

  Before you go and cut down another's faith, you should learn more about it. Steve, perhaps you have not really looked at the differences between JW and most other religions and sometimes after experiencing the JW it is easier to lump all religions in together. Truth be told, every other religion I know of EXCEPT JWs, do a lot of good by feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, providing help for the infirmed, teach our children, heal the sick, comfort the dying and help those with addictions and so much more. The very most I have seen JWs do is provide dot-to-dot drawings for kids; and scary ones at that.

  Horten, Unlike the rank and file of JW who must kiss ass to keep their families, any Catholic can openly disagree and debate social issues and all dogma that comes from the Catholic church. In fact, most other religions do not have issues with debate and outright disagreement. And just in case you are young and do not know, it was Pope John Paul II along with President Ronald Reagan together that led to the demise of the Berlin Wall. It was the Catholics, along with the Puritins that had a huge influence in the freedom of religion in the USA. Look up "the black bragaid" (sp). In fact the state of Maryland was settled by Catholics feeing the Church of England.

  I am very happy with my Catholic faith. One of the social issues that we ex-JWs must learn is that there is a whole other world outside the JW. A world that is tolerant and respectful, repeat that, RESPECTFUL, of the beliefs and feelings of others, which is the reason why those who never were in the JW can make close friends with others who are completely different from themselves. I pray that you can come to understand this as it is the Key to really being free of the JWs.
