  Hypocritical comments by JWs regarding the Catholic Church in light of the new Pope.

  i'm curious, what can you expect to hear from jws this week?

  or have you heard anything already.

  since awakening, i find it to be hilarious when jws badmouth catholics and the pope but are completely oblivious to how hypocritical they are considering the gb and other wt heavyweights..

  When John Paul became pope I don't remember any discussion about it among the publishers. Wasn't our party.

  Well worth the time to watch the whole thing. That is the best example of what we all go through from being shunned! What an evil organization.

  BlindersOff - Thanks for bringing that over here.

  Update on "DA'd/DF'd"...

  by Suraj Khan in

  since many of you were kind enough to give your responses, or at least share in my confusion, i wanted to take some time to share things that went down in the last few days in my family.. to recap, i was born-in but thankfully the hogwash never took.

  i was actively dodging meetings by age 13 by faking illness, usually missing 20 to 25 days of school per year.

  i left my family to attend college and was told by a family member that an announcement was made in my local congregation the following year that i was disassociated.

  Interestingly, up until 1988, unbaptized publishers could be da'd/df'd.

  I remember a kid from my congregation getting DA'd "for conduct unbecoming a Christian."

  Disgusting characters in the Bible. Know any?

  in a recent thread zed is dead commented on lot being a scumbag.. it seems the wbt$ uses these filthy perverts as 'good examples(tm)'.. even when i was in i thought david was a piece of crap.. i vote king david as a lowlife scumbag.

  murderous, adulterous, and treacherous.

  (obviously he was copying that imaginary sky twat = god!!)..

  The guy who was so in love with his runaway concubine that he traveled some distance from his home to retrieve her then the next day threw her out to a crowd who raped her until she was dead. Then he dismembered her body and distributed the pieces around the country, inciting a civil war that nearly wiped out an entire tribe of Israel.

  Processor - LOL!!!

  My ex had male-pattern baldness similar to these guys. I told him I'd divorce him if he ever did the combover (that's not why I divorced him, btw). When his hair got to the point that simply parting it on the side started to look like a combover I suggested that he start combing it straight back. It looked so much better.

  Is this the only "graphic novel" they've produced? If so, why this story? Why not something pleasant, like Jesus blessing the children?

  They used the wife of Lot in their connect-the-dots pictures too. Why are they so hung up on that story?

  I remember that. It made me think of a quote from "What About Bob?"

  "He's so far above us. We're just ropes on the Goodyear blimp."

  Could the JWs sway you back...?

  by new22day in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  op based on mr. freeze's topic - could attending the meetings/studying again sway any of you back to the org.

  hearing the propaganda over and over again is pretty powerful i'm sure.

  (i'm a non-jw, non-christian (no offense), stubborn as a bull and even i had moments of pause based on some of the doctrine (lasted 30 seconds) but i never had family/friends at stake or a background in this.

  Jeepers, LouBelle! I think that door stopper is a really good idea! And good for you not responding in kind and calling the police.
