when i post i try to imagine that i am at a social gathering or sometimes in someone's house as a dinner guest.

that way it is easier to follow the community guidelines and posting rules set out on the site at the bottom of the page.

i wouldn't want to make a fool of myself in public.

I imagine the JW's swinging by, lurking, pondering ......seeing all the "lack of harmony" from their perspective and running back to the JW's.

It’s not the responsibility of this site to cater to JWs who might or might not be looking for answers. Maybe in the past that was the intention of those who created the site, but times have changed.

It is the responsibility of individual JWs to grow some balls, put in the hard work and research their religion if they feel something is wrong with it.

Now days there are literally thousands of resources to help JWs who are waking up. There are books by the hundreds of exjws relating their experiences, and hundreds more by non-exjws who reveal the organization for what it is-a scam. There are sites like exjw reddit where they get about 1000 new Jw members every week who are waking up. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of YouTube videos dealing with the WT organization’s child abuse scandals and WT doctrine.

If a JW swings by this site to lurk and gets scared and runs back to momma, that means that jw still needs to grow up and is not ready to wake up.

Once a person is ready to wake up, nothing is going scare him/her from researching and jumping from site to site and reading book after book and listening to YouTube videos dealing with the hypocrisy of the WT organization.

I don’t know much about what this site used to be because I’m in my early twenties and had exited the organization long before I was aware of this site. I learned it was a scam while in junior high school just by comparing other families to my own. I only found this site because someone from Reddit put a link to a particular topic that I thought was interesting. The Topic was;

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/269000/pastor-my-old-church-tried-re-convert-me-yesterday

If a jw is ready to wake up, it won’t take much to help him/her. You recommend some books, they read it with an open mind and wah-lah they are POMO.

If they are not ready to see the truth, not this site or any site, not any book, or any YouTube videos will wake them up, the hold is too strong on them. They will die believing they will be resurrected in the next week or two, may a year at the latest.

If this site has changed from what it was at the beginning, it’s only because the members who started the site, gradually changed from a JW-mindset, to a more normalized way of thinking; and viewing things and events in the world without being tainted by Watchtower doctrine and belief.

In other words—they are becoming normal human beings with normal concerns of how the world turns.

There are far too many dumb idiots about and they need to be educated or else it's all going to come crashing down.

That is a scary thought! Only because I don't see it possible of getting rid of dumb idiots. And all it takes is ONE!

I think this site is a great site. Nothing is perfect but it’s entertaining, informative and enjoyable to me!

That's why I come here from time to time, to listen to you older guys and learn a few things. I don't like the religious doctrine stuff, I like everything else because it helps me see how the world works. I also get to see how reason and logic wins every time and how to detect bullshit-(fake news).

I hope that the Trump Administration looks Into Obama , Clinton and all the other players for trying to usurp the legitimacy of the Trump presidency.

Some reports are saying that there is an investigation starting to formulate right now, to reveal who started the conspiracy talk that Trump was in collusion with the Russians. And no matter who it was; Clinton, Obama, or whoever, they will be held accountable for dividing the nation.

Here is a brief quote from this article. The rest of the article is at the bottom.

and now, Giuliani said, the pendulum could swing in the direction of probing the president's adversaries who applied pressure inside the Justice Department.

'Just pay attention,' Giuliani said. 'I think we are in a era of a real Justice Department, where just because you have a "D" after your name –Democrat, you know – or "Clinton" or something like that, you still can be held to account.

He also said of a long list of Democrats who have insisted the president and his 2016 campaign colluded with the Kremlin:

Is New Zealand right to ban military style guns?

by ThomasCovenant in

in response to the recent terrorist attack in new zealand their government is proposing to ban semi automatic and military style weaponry.. do you agree with this idea?.

would they be better off allowing more of these weapons instead?.

would it be better to perhaps allow more of the muslim community for example, to be armed with semi automatic guns to protect themselves at their places of worship?.

Are you a doctor who's had access to his psychiatric reports?

No, but I have lots of family that are in the medical field, doctors, Psychiatrist, Nurses, and Paramedics and they know a lot more than you do, and they fill me in. Everything i said is basic 101 Psychology freshman course. I started going back to school for business and science double major, and will be joining the family in the medical field in the future. By the time I'm 30-35 I'll be a doctor. In the meantime, I'm enjoying my spring break.

Again, all the millions of psychopaths, mentally-ill people, Muslims and racists who live peaceful lives within the law can rightly feel angry with your comments.

So if the shooter in NZ didn't fall into any of the groups I mentioned because ALL OF THEM live peaceful lives-then according to you he must of just been a law abiding citizen with a clear head and no political and ideological ideas coercing him to do the shooting. He just felt like shooting and killing people because that's what normal people do.

@LoveUniHateExams

Ok, so here are the groups of people that I mentioned.

There are about 4 billion people who are religious and among these there are a high number of fanatics who will misinterpret their belief to harm others. (Religious fanatics who misinterprets their beliefs)

One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. There are 7.5 billion people on the planet and that means that about 2 billion people can lose it at any time and go on a shooting spree, suicide bombing or some other mass killing spree. (People who have some type of mental disorder)

There are about 30 million Psychopaths in the world.

(a person suffering from chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behavior.)

Then there are those that lose it because they’ve lost their job, wife, girlfriend, were bullied, or whatever life throws their way and they decide to go on a killing spree.

(Average person who loses it for some reason or another)

So you said “similar to TC's comment, you're laying the blame at the feet of the wrong people.”

You also said; “@TC - the problem with your line of thinking is that you're blaming the weapons (tools) rather than the people who chose to use them.”

So if I blamed the wrong people and TC blamed the weapons, and we are both wrong, people and weapons is not the cause --What’s left? Enlighten me, whose to blame????

@TC - the problem with your line of thinking is that you're blaming the weapons (tools) rather than the people who chose to use them.

Who are the people that chose to use weapons and hurt others?

Here is a brief review of the reality of the world we live in. And no political enforcement is going to change that reality.

One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives.

If by some chance one just happens to be in a church, a school, a shopping mall, and there is a person who loses it, and illegally gets a gun and targets you and your family, will you feel safer if you can legally have a gun to defend yourself and your family or will you feel better and more at peace if the government makes it illegal for you to carry a gun to defend yourself and your only alternative is to hope and pray to someone in the spirit realm, to make the evil go away.

Now, suppose someone opens fire on a crowd, and one person in that crowd happens to have a gun. The attacker now gets shot, and that is the end. The original attacker had enough ammunition to kill a few hundred innocent people, but only managed one injury (or even a property damage shot) before being shot. Maybe a few incidents like that would make anyone stupid enough to shoot at a crowd think twice.

That right there!!

I live in a USA State where Open carry as well as conceal carry is legal. I went to church with some of my uncles who have never been JWs, and are all ex-military. They are law abiding citizens, who put family first and believe in making the world a better place. In the church, more than half of the men open carry their guns. The wives carry their guns in their purse.

What do you think would happened if some terrorist like the one in New Zealand walked into the church and started shooting??

Do you know what it feels like when you are sitting next to your uncle who loves you and is carrying a glock 17 and your aunt who is carrying a compact glock in her purse. Both of who are into competitive shooting. And all the neighbors who know each other very well and and get along with each other and are also carrying!
