  Poetry JW style. Yuk!

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is an example of what passes for thought provoking poetry among the dubs.

  (try not to hurl).... of all my years as a witness, the times were not always good.. too many mistakes were being made, the brothers not doing what they should.. as i look back now there are times, i can recall, when i did not even look forward to going to the kingdom hall.. the brothers showed no love.. they didn't seem to care.. the elders were unyielding, demanding and unfair.. meetings were dull and boring; field service was a chore.. there wasn't much of a "pioneer spirit,".

  while going from door to door.. it would not get any better, as i hoped it would.. i knew the day was coming when i would leave jehovah's house for good.. but happily, it's so different now, jehovah has been so kind.. he has allowed me a wonderful congregation to find.. the spirit is so strong here.. the brothers really care.. i couldn't be more happy if i were anywhere!.

  To put religious devotion first above even the well being of one's children is Biblical. Genesis chapter 22 tells the story of Abraham being instructed by God to offer up his son as a sacrifice. Then it all turns out to be a hoax as God stops Abraham at the last second and says basically 'Just kidding! But you actually fell for it eh? You really ARE whipped!'

  No, God apparently had plans for Isaac and spared him. But it must have been great fun to watch His faithful servant Abraham squirm! Of course it does not require extraordinary intelligence to discern that if God were really all knowing it would have been completely unnecessary to stage such a sadistic, gangster-style test of Abraham's loyalty. In fact, verse 12 reveals that God apparently just wanted to see how scared Abraham was of Him.

  My brother died at age 8 months of heart defects. My parents tried to deny him the blood he needed to live. The courts overruled Mom and Dad’s wishes and forced the blood. He died anyway but at least not at the hands of the Watchtower Society. You are not alone.

  It was that time that a Smurf doll got up and ran out of a Kingdom Hall and drove a car away that got some brothers and sisters scared.

  I don't have it on me right now, but the October 15th Watchtower is a whopper. When I read it, it gave me chills to think that anyone could read it and think of it as "spiritual food". Does anyone have the brainwashing quotes?

  You do have to admit, AGuest, that there are many similarities. The post sounds a lot like you. Both of you claim to know things that no one knows.

  Demonized Wall Paper!

  by D wiltshire in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  years ago i studied with a couple, that told me of an elder that studied with them years before.. they were having marital discord at the time and this elder was famous for finding demon posessed objects.. so this elder while conducting his study and talking about their marital problems asked them if perhaps they may have inadvertently brought home a demon posessed object, and that this was the cause of their domestic problems.. well they went through their whole apartment with this elder to see if they could find anything, but were unsucessfull.

  finally when in the kitchen the elder said he felt strange and that something in the kitchen must be causing it, they looked and looked but nothing.. but when the elder touched the walls of the kitchen, he felt the presents of something there on the walls that could be the causing of their problems.

  so they dung into the wall of the kitchen and found that it was painted over a couple layers of old wall paper.. guess what was one of the pictures they found on one of the layers of wall paper?.

  Let the Watchtower Society Speak!

  by professor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  come on wts (or the governing body recently seperated from the watchtower society so they can dishonestly steer clear of the legal consequences of their actions)...... speak for yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  tell the world why you should still be respected after falsely prophesying in god's name over and over and over again predictions of the end which the simple element of time has proven false!!!!!.

  let's let a member of the governing body or an official representative of the watchtower society try to give us a good reason why ex-members are shunned by their relatives which violates jesus's teachings.

  You're funny nytelecom1. But don't you think the WTS monitors sites like this? They did try to have H20 shut down and this one seems to have more traffic. And they sure have been keeping close tabs on me since I left the organization.
