last week we enjoyed a thread where many discussed the pros and cons of dubdom and comments have been made that exjws can be overtaken with negativity, and that this board displays far too much malice towards the r&f.
a view is held that the r&f are really nice people and they are innocent of sins committed by the borg.
the argument goes that individuals, whether on the gb or publishers in a local congregation, are all victims of some organisational spirit.
Sure there are good people. Ozzie was pointing out how their love turns to hate if you become in any way non-rank and file or try to show them they are wrong. These "kind" people do an about face and show just as much malice as they did love.
God forbid you get a label such as DF or DA, watch the daggers come flying out of their eyes than.

hi everyone, i was born and raised in toledo ohio, jackman congregation and also elmore congregation, and also lived in palatine congregation area in illinois, as well as attended the burbank congregation in burbank il.
anyone from that area????
do you know the thoman name????
Hey Grits, I sent SL an e-mail regarding being able to give the person from Teledo a ride up to the march..........no response yet.
just been given this watchtower and found the 2nd study article very interesting..... is this the societies damage control to panorama and dateline?.
para 8 onwards says...... 8 satan tries to break our integrity through the sowing of doubts about what we have been taught.
today, as in the first century, apostates and others seek to destroy the faith of the guideless ones.
Did you notice the taboo they once again place on e-mail/internet? Since this seems to be an effective means of reaching a large amount of people fairly easily, no wonder they are starting to give e-mail/internet a bad name. Slowly put it into the minds of the Dubs that anything placed on or abtained via these means needs to be questioned. Soon anything found on the computer will be completely false and a means of Satan to test our faith. Where do these idiots get this obsurd thinking from? Even when information is on news sites or official pages this will be viewed as satan's information. (I forgot the fact that anything non-JW is Satan oriented, Sigh)
Actually, when I told my parents of some of the stuff I've learned, they immediately asked, "where did you get that information, the internet?" My parents don't even have a computer.................it's already begun folks.
I think they're really starting to panic. How much more can they shelter their followers? Will they soon all move to the Patterson farm so that they have NO contact with "the world"? They are definately gearing up to have the Dubs disregard the massive protest that's going to come right to their front door via Silentlambs. You can bet nearly every Borg member, after reading this article, will apply it to the march on the 27th. Fortunately this is cult specific material only. It means nothing to non-dubs.
INTERNAL DAMAGE CONTROLL ONLY! Go LAMBS!
was there ever anything positive from being a witness?
could you say that because you were a witness at least......or was it all negative?
I learned never to hide anything in your room. Parents didn't like finding 4 cases of beer lined down the narrow empty space under my bed. Don't hide Playboy's under your mattress. I learned there's always a witness watching you. There were sooo many blue mustangs on the road but it was always me in the one that was speeding. (boggle) Being best friends with the POs son gave you a lot of leniency. Children who were home schooled were REALLY WIERD. A 2 year old could give a one word answer that nearly blew out the sound system. A MS' hot wife could constantly do front yard work in a bikini top and cheek showing shorts on a main street. If you were the POs son, came home drunk, and puked on your dad when he opened the door you wouldn't get in trouble. BAH time to go home from work, I could have thought of a few more.

i was looking at another thread.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=24809&site=3.
and was wondering,if i'm not being too forward, what kh did everyone here go to.. i used to go to the cranston kh in ri, usa .
Strongsville, OH
Our general manager fed a seagull a "lit cigarette butt sandwich", talk about heart burn.
" we are the cause of our destruction *(it's quoted different in the bible) / i believe that 9/11 was a bad day, we cry & mourn & move on, we get over it, i got over 9/11 in under 24 hours & to be honest i'm sick of hearing about it.... now i also understand that millions was not paying attention before 9/11 & they still aint paying attention.. if people would wake the hell up and read the bible they would already know that god already warn us to listen to him, and be on guard 24/7 cause that devil which we call satan exist and on the move to overthrow billions........ where is your faith?
jesus clearly said that not to sorrow for the dead, cause they will get resurrected when the messiah comes back- john 5 verse 28,29.. so get over it and heed jesus words....
Get over 9/11. Sure ignore that anything is wrong. Who cares that our nation was attacked?! Billions of dollars pulled out of the stock market by Saudi investors not to mention the loss of 16 acres (times 110 stories) of office space. Ohh the 3000 people who died....who cares? I do ASSHOLE! If I offend anyone with that comment I apologize.
Your whole basis of thinking is that God is going to rule soon and that death is insignificant because you'll be resurected. Sorry my friend, when you're sitting on your death bed, as you soon will, you'll wonder why God never took over, how come all you worked for and believed in never happened (this generation will not pass away). My grandmother is 84 looks like she's going to pass away without seeing everything she believed in. The same will happen for you.
Noone should be sick of 9/11. It's kind of attitude that will allow something like that to happen again and prevent national support to invade and overthrow governments who can't understand the idea of a benifical global economy. I'm sick of bleeding heart liberals who cry for the rights of these people who think that dying, killing westerners, is going to make them blessed in the after-life. I'm still waiting to hear from someone who's been there (after-life). Your head is so far up your ass no wonder you can't see anything. You, like the rest of the apathetic world and religious fanatics, should be placed on another planet. Sure we'd still have problems but they'd be greately diminished.
greetings: i spoke tonight with xx who is our (not da'd nor df'd -- yet!
) contact person who will be conducting the press conference in orlando tomorrow.
he told me the reporter at the orlando sentinel really really really wants some local area stories to report on regarding the wt child sex abuse situation for future articles.
Get the POs address and send it registred mail. His wife should be home to sign for it, if she's not a poineer. Though you will interupt her local gossip party.

Hey thanks for the heads up. Cleveland is an hour and a half east of Toledo. I'm not on Silentlambs mailing list. I sent them an e-mail to let them know I could help with a ride and pick up the hotel tab.
since watchtower attempted to "ruin the earth" they were required to post $25,000.00 bond in their cleanup effort.
if watchtower continues to comply with the law of the land, $20,000.00 of the $50,000.00 fine is suspended.

I enjoyed the comment about announcing the 30k? or whatever fine at the business portion of the ministry school. My poor 84 year old, JW for life, grandmother was teling me the other day..................."Look at the Catholics, all the trouble they're in. All the money they have."
Well, yes, I was an asshole. I said JWs have milloins fo dollars, it just came out. That was mean I shouldn't confuse her it, just came out. As petty as the fine may be, Jehovah's Organization prides itself as being without spot/or reproach as compared to other "worldly" organizations.
"All in favor of our donations being wasted, raise your hand."
"Opposed?"
May Jehovah bless your generous hearts!
