I wish there were more JW's resisting the extreme elements within the religion

i wish there were more jw's resisting the extreme elements within the religion.

i beleive there are many who know some of the things they hear and read are whack, but stay because they think it's still the group god has chosen.

but there are ways to voice your opinion without being too vocal or disassociating:.

I think a lot of them resist to various degrees, even passively. Some are there for social reasons and don’t believe much of what is being said. Others are brainwashed but would be the first ones to leave if they saw the organization for what it is. When people leave, I’ve seen a lot of cases when they stopped believing in God altogether, others come back after years because they didn’t manage to get the doctrine out. Not sure what is the best way to help them. If they saw what it is all about that would probably be it.

We are being lied to for breakfast, lunch and dinner by the mainstream media. The question is why, and what for?

Head ship...

by TimeBandit in

the jw idea of headship is getting a blowjob followed by a sandwich...uh, wait, they only believe in the sandwich...uh, wait, they just jerk off to the idea of getting head.

uh, wait, they're not allowed to jerk off either.

damn.

I always had difficulties with this subject, never agreed with it, doesn’t make sense to me. Women are 50% of the equation, men and women are happier when they get respected. Jws males are married to the organization, it is effectively a polygamist marriage. Jw women are a captive audience, a lot of them display insecurity and jealousy, not good for themselves or anyone around them. Feel sorry for them and for the men also.

I think they have a lot of moles in the organization. The Sparlock video is just an anecdote among many others, I heard worse things from the platform sometimes…

by MC RubberMallet in

The significance of Sparlock

by botchtowersociety in

the watchtower has depicted sparlock as a commercial plastic toy to be thrown into the garbage with impunity.. i submit to you all that he is something far greater.

sparlock represents all the hopes and dreams of jw children everywhere.

he is the magic of childhood.

Sparlock means different things for different people. For me personally it means truth and justice, both in danger of ending up in the bin in this current times.

Freedom is non negotiable. Keeping somebody jailed for years without a fair trial, torturing people and then accepting their confessions, spying on the private lives of unsuspecting citizens, and not allowing real freedom of speech is not what you would call a free country. Insulting somebody’s faith is not freedom of speech is just insulting, very different concepts, shouldn‘t be any confusion. If you insult somebody usually they get angry at you, you would also. It is very sad to see how easy people can be manipulated, and how unscrupulous people use this to advance whatever agenda they have for America and the rest of the world. America and what it stands for should be defended before it starts to stand up for something else. Unfortunately America is not living up to its ideals. We have the right to demand integrity of the people over us in any sort of capacity, otherwise their authority is not legitimate. America has been the leader of the world so far, but who or what is leading America? What will be America’s destiny once it loses its ideals? Human nature has not changed since the middle ages, if we allow mediocrity to rule we are all doomed. We can not blame God for it.
