unashamedly borrowed from a post from morbizbaby on another thread because i thought it was a point that deserved greater disscuion.. in the 20+ years i was in my home cong the only people who got converted from a knock on the door to a dunk in the baptisum pool were the "freindless" those people who were loners, odd bods, misfits in the comunity.
the ones who were on some kind of social service register.
who aged 50 still lived with their parents, never went out and had only imaginary freinds.. don't get me wrong these are people who often do get missed off the radar by the community and who could do with help and freinds.... and they would get freinds from the jw's.
yep... I'm so glad I saw through the BS... All these years out .. always wondered how they could stay in buisness, being such frauds.. Then again there are a lot of meek still inheriting the earth... with the right heart condition...
great post.. so true...

so i said that i would post this letter that i sent out to fb jws who were still my friends on fb at the time.. a little background might be in order here.
i was called to meet with two elders in the hall because i had filed to run for political office.
i knew that sooner or later i would have to agree to do so.
great letter...

obviously the wt is pro-life when it comes to abortion, whatever the circumstances (a viewpoint completely devoid of human empathy, a quality which they consider so important) according to the bible, life begins at conception, and deliberately terminating a pregnancy is punishable with death.. but are unborn foetuses going to be resurrected?
no.. it seems that embryo's are 'human' enough for god to be pissed if you abort one, but not human enough for him to care about giving a second chance after armageddon.. another idea that's been repeated to me by several witnesses, is that some children (only the angelic like ones of course, not the little hellions that run around stepping on frogs) will survive armageddon, because they can not have made a proper decision about serving god.
but a worldly woman who is pregnant will die, thus condemning herself and her unborn to everlasting destruction.. a bit unfair isn't it?.
@ tec ,,What is roe? Roe vs Wade= supreme court case makin abortion legal...
talking about this case the other day, she came up with the thought that would it not be good if they are found guilty that a public apology for disobeying the law etc had to be printed in the public edition of the watchtower magazine.. now that would be better even that a massive fine i reckon!.
oz.
.
they made MJ print apology in Awake.. for making THILLER video..
i know many of you have felt this way but it still hurts.. i was doing fine, great actually but then all of the sudden a huge wave of pain hit my body out of the blue.
man its so hard living this life, always pretending, except when you're alone.
i feel like its eating me from the inside.. so many times i want to just give up, on both sides.

thanks thats what I thought.. that There wasn't a Biblical Answer....
always amazed at the Great comments on here...
I remember this question as a child and I never got a good answer... something like God is not dealling with us that way because He's had it with us !!
Then why go this magazine route, that always.. bothered me.. It lead me to atheism.. through the science channels.. But weirdly I still was afaid of what the Watchtower says .. Now I know why,..IT's a cult.. My mind was still bonded to their BS some how..
atheism answers it for me ..
Does anyone know the religious Takes .. I'm mean why There is Myraids of them .. Their name means Messanger.. Why .. where are they what are they doing!!!
Anyone.. anyone Buller!!
lol Looking for serious and humourous..
