It is not religious persecution for an informed person to expose publicly a certain religion as being false, thus allowing persons to see the difference between false religion and true religion.

The WTS blatant hypocrisy is astounding.
Courtesy of Ozzie, I will repost some useful information relevant to this discussion.
Leander, you may want to include this information which is directly from the WTS in your part.
On the Official Website for Public Information for Jehovah's Witnesses.. under the subheader entitled "Conscience" the following information can be found.
http://www.jw-media.org/beliefs/membership.htm
The Watchtower Society have announced that they "avoid making rules and regulations beyond those provided in the Scriptures, and they do not follow traditions that contradict Bible teachings. Emphasis is placed on personal application of Bible principles and the value of a sound, Bible-based conscience.It should be noted in the Watchtower Society's statement that they
So they avoid making rules? They encourage PERSONAL application?
Then they turn around and run articles in the KM for the TMS TELLING people HOW to DRESS and what is considered APPROPRIATE.
JW make me sick.

who comes up with the topics?
and are these elders allowed to say whatever they think is appropriate?
Oh man!
This goes hand in hand with the latest WT magazine.
June 1st 2002 WT is entitled Should You Be Afraid of Death
Listen to the speaker notes and topic headers. They are written with the very intent to frighten:
WILL YOU ESCAPE THIS WORLD'S DESTINY?and they have the nerve to say the WTS is NOT obsessed with Death?
Note to the speaker:
Encourage the audience not to ignore the overwhelming evidence that "the great day of Jehovah" is near. Convey the urgency of meeting God's requirements for survival, and stimulate the audience to take actionWHY MANY FEAR THE FUTURE
ALL ARE NOW BEING SEPARATED FOR ESCAPE OR DESTRUCTION
PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ESCAPE AND SURVIVAL
The JW hypocrisy is so blatant.

who viciously attack the teachings and beliefs of their resigned religion?.
i was thinking of this last night....i have never in my life seen a movement so big as the apostates against jw's..... no other religion has displayed this....usually people just quietly leave and get on with their lives and there is no anomosity...even if they have been wronged by their religion.... but with jw's it's different...it's an all out and out attack on anyone and everyone who has something positive to say.... makes me believe the bible and the jw's even more...being here is setting the doubt in my mind right....
Good point Xander.
She ignores any rationality.
Check out the 5 or 6 threads she has posted in the last hour.
A heaping pile of sh1t.

thank you, thank you, thank you for making me see that i'm wasting my time being in a world of bitter, twisted, self-absorbed people and helping me to wake up to the benefits of being a jehovah's witness!
if any of you come back with the ol - the jw's are full of bitter, twisted, people (in the most stupid arse voice of course!
), i'll reply, yeah, but not as rampant as the rest of the world.....call me crazy if you like, i don't care, because it's my salvation i'm worried about not yours....you've thrown it away because you can't see the bigger picture....trials and tribulation will always abound in this day and age...it is proving like job that we are not discouraged by the trials that gains us the most happiness because we know the trials won't go on much longer and jah will repay us 100 fold for our pain....that's a damn good reward to me!
Why am I not surprised you have been on Prozac?

Reborn, you don't follow posts too well do you?
Your avoiding the point.
I very clearly and specifically point out that if you believe the JW have the "Truth" which you stated in another thread, then you should subject yourself to proper instruction given by the FDS through the WTBTS literature, and subsequently you have have no place on this board mingling with known "Apostates".
You ask for the opinion of non-believers and <gasp> "Worldly" people?
Why do you ignore the point?

beautifulgarbage's post about the rocks and beck's post about living life over again reminded me of something that i have on my refrigerator that i try to live by.
i am thankful...... for the teenager who is not doing dishes and watching tv, because that means he is at home, not on the streets.. for the taxes that i pay, because it means that i am employed.. for the mess to clean after a party, because it means that i have been surrounded by friends.. for the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means i have enough to eat.. for my shadow that watches me work, because it means i am out in the sunshine.. for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it means i have a home.. for all the complaining i hear about the government, because it means that we have freedom of speech.. for the parking spot i find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means i am capable of walking and that i have been blessed with transportation.. for my huge heating bill, because it means i am warm.. for the lady behind me in church that sings off key, because it means i can hear.. for the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means i have clothes to wash. .
for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means i have been capable of working hard.. for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it mean that i am alive.. and what's the use in living if you spend your whole life complaining, so always try to look at the bright side.. shimmer
I always enjoy articles like these.
When life has you stressing so hard that you feel like your brain is going to burst and ooze through your ears, little points like these remind you of what is truly important in life, and to take a minute and appreciate it.

then go already . . . Is there an anchor tied to your butt?
I already made this point on another thread Patio.
Her stating she chooses to be a JW poses an interesting situation because her continuing to post here is in direct violation of the doctrine to which she claims to adhere.
She just craves the attention.
This grows tiresome. Why post 5 or 6 threads balking at Apostates when you VOLUNTARILY associate with them by remaining on this discussion board?
thank you for making me see that I'm wasting my time being in a world of bitter, twisted, self-absorbed people and helping me to wake up to the BENEFITS of being a Jehovah's Witness!Why post you know for a fact that you want to be a JW and your presence here reinforces that belief.. yet you continue to post here?
If your trying to make yourself look like an idiot, your doing a mighty good job.
Never had a female in MavMan or Yadirf's caliber, but your quickly rising through the ranks.
