The first few were positive flamers, but then some came by with warm
greetings and tried to keep the flamers in check. But they will not be
able to do this, for upon leaving Jehovah's organization, persons
quickly shed whatever unity they once had
The unity was conditional that we all agree with whatever the GB currently think. Any deviation from the Watchtower magazines or thinking for oneself and your best JW chum would drop you like a hot brick. Hows that for unity?
In fact, it is likely
that some who flame me also flame each other under different usernames
on other forums, perhaps in the Hillary/Trump forum, or the
atheist/believer forum, or the science-based-medicine/alternative forum.
In other words, unruly as persons can be here, it is par for the course
elsewhere, too. It has gotten to the point that many publications have
discontinued their comments section because the nasty trolls immediately
abuse it. That's the world anyone is happy to embrace? I prefer our website.
Yes, you'd prefer a website that doesn't allow debate. Imagine a world like that, were debate and sharing views is considered bad. It'd be a dictatorship. Not everyone trolls. Most trolls on here happen to be active JW's trying to defend their GB's blunders.
Nonetheless,
this is not staying on topic. This is: since it gives some the
willy-nillies to see Jehovah's Witnesses approaching, one would think
they would welcome cart witnessing and the website as alternative,
not-in-your-face methods of doing the work Christ said should be done.
Instead, everyone I have seen here blasts at that means for spreading
the Kingdom message as well.
I dont know anyone on here that gets "the
willy-nillies to see Jehovah's Witnesses approaching", the other way round in fact. Personally, im not opposed to them preaching their trash. I look forward to them knocking on my door so i can show them the publications were Rutherford says vaccinations are of the devil, that the prophets will be resurrected in 1925 and that people of color shouldn't be given literature because it'd be a waste.
Our website, however is getting huge
publicity these days because Russia is insisting it is extremist and
trying to ban Jehovah's Witnesses on that account. The Governing Body
just once invited and encouraged individual Witnesses to write Russian
authorities. From what I've seen, I'd be surprised if every Witness in
the world does not write, for we care for each other. That's eight
million personal letters to Putin or his associates, but with 6
officials listed, persons able to compose more than one letter if they
choose, non-Witness human rights people joining in, opposers chiding
Putin for not going far enough, one can easily imagine 50 -60 million
letters within a two week period. Putin may sink them all at sea and
never read one, but he cannot fail to know they exist.
Im willing to bet that the vast majority of JW.org visitors are active JWs and ex-JW apostates keeping up to date with the indoctrination their loved ones are being fed. Your GB hasn't realized that if Putin does indeed ban the Witnesses then he now has the personal address of each one of them.
He will
know that there is one nation on earth in which every citizen cares
deeply about every other. He has never seen anything like it. He will
not forget it, regardless of the trial's outcome.
What with
extensive media coverage, Time and the New York Times, for example, one
can reasonably expect that millions will visit jw.org to see whether it is extremist or not. We can only imagine what may happen when they discover it is not, and perhaps that is the biggest contribution our Russian brothers make to the worldwide ministry.
Most people dont know what JW's believe. And they dont care. All one has to do to send them to the Australian Royal Commission website and read all of the child molestation cases they are embroiled in. The fine the WBTS pays daily to keep their list of child predators out of court. Their failed predictions with a 0% sucess rate since their inception. Rutherfords praise of Hitlers regime prior to WW2 i could go on.
But all that aside, we'd love to hear your story of how/why you became a JW and your current stand. Do you believe all of what the GB say? Are they directed by holy spirit? How do they receive new light?
