  Those interested in the "Greatest" should hire "When we were Kings"
  from the video shop.
  Its about the rumble in the Jungle.
  Possibly the greatest fight of all time.

  The Debate: Do JW's Need Respect?

  by Mindchild in

  this thread will hopefully serve as the platform for a friendly debate about the issue of how much respect the watchtower society deserves from ex-jehovah's witnesses.

  do we blast the hell out of the borg and don't let a kind word in edgewise?

  do we acknowledge that they have done some things right and (shudder) even good?

  Actually, my folks were recruited on the doors as well.
  However, of the 5 lots of people THEY recruited into the Truth, only 1 was thru door to door contact. The rest were personal contact. so...

  Got your E mail. Nothing happening here at the moment, when it does, I will inform...

  SaintSatan.
  Govt not regulate religion, but ban proselytizing.?
  You seem to be of the opinion that dubs recruit their membership from the door to door work. Somehow I suspect this is (largely) not the case.Id be willing to bet that their recruitment growth comes from personal contact at work, thru families etc.
  Thus banning preaching achieves zip.

  I have no proof for the position I take, so could well be in error.

  How in hell do you hand out preaching licences, and stamp out shunning without Government regulations?

  there seems to be an ongoing perception that the people who run cults are EVIL.
  I recall here in Oz about 3 years ago there was an expose on TV about a cult that was engaging in terrible mind manipulation.
  The leader of the group was trying to defend himself.
  It was obvious to me that he was deeply distressed because the TV interviewer kept taking an adversarial stance, a polarized position, and kept calling him an evil man.
  Ive never forgotten it.
  The guy running the cult didnt think he was a bad person. But the media keep painting it that way.
  Calling someone evil, is a simple, packed explanation that dumbos watching TV can understand.Even the TV interviewer doesnt understand the phenomena.
  "Evil man" is a simple explanation for him too...

  (Mind, am I drifting off your line here? its your thread pal)

  no no no...bernard.
  You say respect the members but not the GB members because they are bandits.
  The GB INDIVIDUALS are just as brainwashed as the members.
  As individuals they are no different.
  We must respect them ALL as human beings, but we must disrepect the Watchtower organizational structure.
  Its not the people individually, its the way the org is RUN thats the problem. You gotta stop their practises.
  Someone earlier indicated that Jim Jones was an evil bastard.
  Not true.
  Jimmy boy was one of the dearest sweetest blokes youd ever meet when he started out,he sacrificed years of unpaid personal effort fighting for the rights of oppressed minorities, it was his organizations eventual practises that became monstrous.He was as much a victim of the system they built as everyone else in the cult. They ALL got lost in there.

  considering this thread has been closed by its originator for purpose of the debate......
  Yardick.
  Selective quotation there buddy.
  What are you saying?What does that prove?
  I'll leave the readers to judge whether what Im saying has any value or not.Or whether Im just a foul mouthed lout with nothing to say of any construct.
  I like swearing though, makes me feel big and tough.
  Richard Nixon is my hero...
