The WT has said that the only reason they don't kill non-believers is because of the laws of the land.
Okay.........Where?

Would Elders You Knew Have Ordered Stonings If They Could Have?
by Cold Steel infor those of you who used to be jws, or who are active, if the society was in charge of the earth, how many people do you think you would have seen stoned during your lifetimes?
i realize some elders can be zealous about their work, but if they'd actually had administrative authority to have kh members stoned to death, how many elders did you know who would have been zealous enough to really order them?.
did you know any elders who would have ordered stonings, even if the condemned people had been willing to repent?.

I didn't realize I came off as sarcastic. It wasn't my intention. I just don't think JWs would stick around if "god" told them to do it. Maybe a very small percentage would do this but surly not the majority. Not this religion anyway...the way its set up.

Naaahhhhhh..... As shitty as many of these men are, I think maybe once and done. Do you realize how gruesome it is?
The elders like to talk a big game but I doubt many would do this.

I was apart of clicks. I ran the mic's and the sound box for a couple years. I worked behind the magazine counter for a number of years. I was "exemplary" for a several years. Now and then I was invisible towards the end. This last congregation I was in before I left in Longmont Colorado, the Mountain View Cong was the shittiest one with the most clicks and backbiters I had ever been apart of. The elders didn't - and from what I still see - don't give a shit about anyone but themselves and the other MS and ones reaching out. I'm sure it was like this in the other cong's I had been apart of but they never showed it like this Mountain View Cong. For several years before I left we would get new elders that would come in then after 6 to 12 months they would leave to a neighboring cong. SO many in the territory would leave to go to the neighboring congs. I remember there were "local needs" where essentially they said stop picking on us.

How many went from christian to something else?
by Satanus ini noticed some posters who used to argue along christian lines, but don't do so, anymore.
granted, it's a tough line to keep to on this forum.
i would be interested to hear (read) of people who came here as believers, and then transitioned to unbeliever, and the reasons for that.
