the following quote is one taken from h20 after you claimed on this forum that you weren't posting your "compassion" post in order to incite guilt feelings within this forum:.
i agree that if they feel that something is wrong with rick then they are certainly shooting the wounded - but that is typical cult behaviour - they learnt this as jw's .... they just haven't learnt the compassion they so much desired to see within the organization themselves yet.
in the original post you put "shooting the wounded" in bold letters, effectively showing that you posted that diatribe in order to make people who were denouncing rick and his methods of moderating his forum.

serious questions for every serious believer in jehovah (or god).. .
i hope they will be helpful to jehovah's witnesses on this board, as well as to all who believe in god.
i think i have phrased the questions fairly, without emotionalism, and have not distorted the meaning of the bible stories (comments?)..
Philo, the answer to all is NO. Because I would never serve an egomaniacal serial killer as is the God described in the Bible which you're referring to. If I'm going to make any type of sacrifice at all for a god, he/she had better be one that I can have respect for, and the god of your bible isn't IT.

a couple of people have claimed i am co-dependent ..... a few years back i had to go through this list and do the following: .

Although I don't have as much formal training as Tina, I do have enough of it to say that I would have to agree with Tina that you are definitely controlling and manipulative, Jan. The lengths I have seen you go to in order to sidestep your culpability in the issue of your email list just proves my point. A person in need of help never sees themselves as such. I wouldn't classify us as "sharks". I would classify us as women who are courageous enough to stand up to a bully, publicly. A passive/agressive bully, to be sure, but a bully still nonetheless.

Finds themselves getting emails from you, huh? By ACCIDENT, of course.
No, a thank you for a good post is NOT a consent form, Jan. A consent form is asking you to sign them up for your list. IT DIDN"T HAPPEN. And when a person has to write you THREE TIMES to be taken off the list, then PUBLICLY announce it before any action is taken, there's definitely not consent there.
I'm done. I truly tried to keep my respect for you, Jan. It's a shame that I've lost that respect. But truly, it was your own doing. Admitting a wrong has been done is SOOOO much better than side-stepping, denying, and beating around the bush. And the ultimate wrong is trying to make others take the blame for your own actions. Truly a pity, Jan.

as a sit writing this i will say that i am possibly going through one of the toughest times of my life right now.
i have recently told the elders of my congregation that i have identified myself as "queer" and it has been one of the toughest roads i have ever had to walk.
i am not trying to offend anyone on the boards by telling you this but i feel that it's important to live honestly and my decission to "come out" to people in the congregation is one based on trying to live honestly.
Preston, an email is on it's way to you.

So, what you're essentially saying, Jan,in both threads, is that you don't feel signing people up to your email list without their permission is Wrong and that it's the people's responsibility to ask to be taken off AFTER you sigh them up without permission.
Do you realize that it's against the rules of every email group/list site on the web? I tell ya, it's time to put my hip waders on. The poop's getting deep in here! And Yes, Comf, I'll drop it now. It's obvious this woman has some SERIOUS denial problems.

huntington -- it's not that the huntington civic arena is dirty.
it's just that william "pat" thompson's organization has higher standards of cleanliness.. thompson is among 6,000 jehovah's witnesses attending the religious group's annual district 12 convention friday through sunday.. a small group of jehovah's witnesses arrived a day early and spent thursday sweeping, scrubbing and painting the civic arena in preparation for the gathering.. "this is our place of worship for three days," thompson said.
"so we have to clean jehovah's house.".
Excellent point, Tina! They tell the rank and file that "Jehovah's house MUST be cleaner than all the rest" to get them to totally spruce up the place, when all the while they are getting a discount for having their people make the place better than it was before they came in. All to save the Org some moolah. I bet you hit the nail on the head!

rosenberg, texas -- even in the moments before his death, jeffery green put the welfare of others ahead of his own.
Kent,
When you compare that news article with the post that Norm made from the Watchtower article, it's ironic isn't it? How they can acknowledge the family's pain at losing their loved ones, yet print articles glorifying the killing of 99% of the world's population and calling them an "Evening meal". Sick sick sick....

the watchtower society is out with a window dressing article on its web page these days.
it has the title: .
love of neighbor.
Exactly. With "neighborly love" like that, who needs enemies? What utter tripe and rubbish the rank and file fill their minds with. Guess they have to put something into the cavity where their brain used to be!

Whatever, Jan. You never admit to doing anything wrong, anyway. And that to me is the biggest pointer to your problem. And yes, you DO have a problem. It's called D-E-N-I-A-L of responsibility.
