  America Bashing

  by TR in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with all of the america bashing going on of late, i thought i'd mention the fact that america stands for freedom, as flawed as our system may be.

  you're even free to be critical of the government and it's leaders.

  the many men and women who have died defending this country did so to preserve the rights even of people who hate the u.s. there are many different cultures here, so there are many different attempts at creating laws for the land.

  TR, I agree with some of what you say about America. You are free to criticize the government (though that could get you under government surveillance), and you are free to anonymously criticize the company you work for (though they can get a court order to find your identity and fire you), and you are free to peacefully protest in the streets (though that can get you arrested and held without trial for several days), and you can freely elect a President (though sometimes the other guy takes over anyway), and you can freely read what you want (though if you do it over the Web you will be monitored, and if you buy a book with a credit card it may be checked by the FBI if you pick the "wrong" type of of book), and you can associate with whomever you wish (but if you pick the wrong type of friends, you will be watched), and you can tell your political representatives what you want (but they might listen to the corporations that pay them to do the opposite), and you can freely email your dad (but it may be checked by the NSA to make sure you aren't doing something naughty).

  That's all very true, Seeker. But it's still better than any other kind of government I've lived under so far!

  Hey, if you want a good beer with bite in the USA, go get you some Shiner Bock, made in Texas. Coors is okay of you like your beer to taste close to plain water with yeast in it.

  Losing Loved ones to Death While in the Org..

  by Roamingfeline in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did anyone lose beloved family members or friends to death while in the org?

  if so, how did you feel about it once you came out of the cult and figured out that everything you'd been taught about the new system coming soon, and loved ones being resurrected was a big fat lie you'd been spoonfed?

  how did you feel and react to that?.

  Prisca,

  I do have that book! My daughter bought it for me approx 1 1/2 years ago for my birthday. And I have only made it 1/2 way through it also!
  It was VERY hard to get through it, and it has a sequel I may never make it to.

  (((((Prisca))))) You're welcome! I hope it gets some dialog going about what I think is a very big reason alot of people even listen to the "untruth" in the first place!

  Germany, the "truth" is worth lying...

  by Norm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the multinational printing empire and con operation in brooklyn better known as the watchtower society is in a desperate struggle to appear mainstream and normal to the general public all over the world.

  after over 100 years of publishing the most insane drivel and countless failed predictions this is of course an uphill struggle.. what makes it even harder is that they merely want to foster the illusion that the watchtower society is mainstream.

  they have no wish for it to actually be mainstream.

  advice needed--please respond

  by lisaBObeesa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a question my df mother would like me to post for her:.

  would it be morally right to go back to the jws, even though she doesn't feel it is god's org?

  she would do this in order to speak with her life long friends and her youngest daughter, all of whom are quite emotionally distraught due to her dfing.

  If you are able to harden your resolve enough to, as sevenof9 and a few others mentioned, KEEP YOUR OWN GOAL FIRMLY IN VIEW, don't worry about lying to a few men. (They lie daily, every time out in field service, every time speaking from the platform when they teach as truths extra-Biblical doctrines.) They play their games, you have a right to play yours AND to succeed at playing their game better than them!

  Hey, OutnFree,

  Good advice. When I said, "Be true to yourself", I didn't necessarily mean stay out of the Org and don't go back. I, too, see nothing wrong with lying to those idiot elders to get back in and see the grandkids/kids/friends and then making her way to inactive status. I love beating those creeps at their own game. I did the same when I was disfellowshipped. Scraped and crawled enough to get back in, then did the disappearing act. Of course, now I couldn't care less what they think I'm doing, I don't ever play by their rules and never will again! Anyway, I certainly don't blame someone else if they go back to do things their own way.

  Foster's isn't beer, it's horse-pee. Now, if they'll offer some Hahn's Ice beer, I'll be glad to accept!
