  A Special Thanks ESPECIALLY to ATHEISTS

  by David_Jay in

  as most of you know there has been a rise in antisemitism in the world as of late, especially in the united states where i live where many of our jewish community centers and schools have been subjected to bomb threats.

  around the world many jewish cemeteries have been vandalized too.. while i have left the forum earlier this year due to a need to move on with my own healing path (and realizing this forum is doing quite well with the many bright minds already among the crowd), i have briefly returned mainly to write this note of gratitude (though i did post a few times too while i have been here).. it has been touching and very helpful when muslims, christians, and people of other faiths have stood with those of us in the jewish community to protest this wave of hostility against my people.

  there have been many public displays of solidarity with us against these acts of hatred and prejudice and some personal notes from friends letting me know i am not alone.. some of you have been among those who have voiced your concern for me and other jews during this time.

  this is like the arson attack on the black church last year turned out to be a member.

  this is even worse.

  Why he was fired?

  Look at his Twitter. He is a hate filled racist. He even posted the attacks on the Jewish centers and said "kids are there!"

  Any atheists here? Have you come to terms with your new reality?

  alone, without my safety net of "god" being there to remember me when i die.

  after much consideration, examining science, history and using logic, i have come to the conclusion that there is no "god" at least certainly no loving, personal "god.

  I believe that the international community needs to set new standards for everyone if humans are going to get off this rock and explore and inhabit other planets. Two weeks ago the UAE/Qatar said they are going to launch a Mars rocket in the next few years and begin to colonize it in 30 years. Can you imagine that? Rule number 1- NO RELIGION allowed. I'm sorry if I sound intolerant but religion is the cause of most of the problems on earth and we cannot have that if we are to expand humanity and evolve into higher beings. Religion served its purpose. Time to leave it in the past.

  The Danger of Settlements

  by Tech49 in

  i was pondering the recent influx of lawsuits against wt, specifically in regards to the child abuse cases (ie.

  conti, fessler, lopez, etc).. in each of these, wt has settled for an "undisclosed" amount, assumed to be in the millions of dollars each.

  i know there are many many more cases, subject for a different thread i'm sure.. i was reading something completely unrelated a while back that mentioned the dangers of settlement agreements for a large corporation or business (not just wt).

  All I know, there more cases against the WT cult the better. Drain their resources, make their scandals known and eventually their members will know about it and start to question, "why didn't the GB say anything about this. I thought Stepehen Lett said it was all apostate lies..."

  who would have thought that one simple expression, "last night in sweden" would suddenly shine the light on the cockroaches?

  who would have thought so many people would laugh at the president for saying such a thing!

  The OP is an idiot troll.

  ctrwtf: more like a person who reposts all 4chan crap on Sweden he comes across without doing any research
  

  It is nice to know that so many ex-JW's have become such wonderful people, leaving one cult, then protecting another. You are obnoxious and willfully ignorant. You left the JW cult, but the JW cult didn't leave you. 4chan has nothing to do with what I posted. The link comes directly from the German Government Office. Official website press release they posted on Wednesday. No fake news. No "vast right wing conspiracy." No bias.

  But the people on 4chan made this comedy skit.

  So many interesting responses here. For me, accepting that there is no personal God was not only easy but very enlightening. Suddenly you can see the world in another light, you can see how humans evolved with religion and better understand how to deal with them. I do believe that religion is both a blessing and a curse for the human race but most people today will never be able to accept that there is no God.

  Shunning - Are Mothers Most Fanatical?

  by Lostandfound in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on many posts by those with experience of df or da shunning, it look to me that the most fanatical observers of the shunning practise are mothers, and when a person approached parents about their own doubts or intentions, approaching the mother the most daunting prospect .

  odd that visiting warwick leaflet has a picture of a meeting of some sort with a room comprising men only, given the subordinate role given to women, one might think they would be more liberal over shunning close ones, but not so.. what drives this, is it grabbing an opportunity to be more visible by their loyalty, or low level of education of a lot of dubs so that the sisters blindly accept direction or authority.

  i might have expected some kick back against the shunning practise by sisters giving evidence to their independence of thought.. our real thinkers here will be able to explain this fanaticism of loyalty better.

  I would say it depends. I know already from discussing this and knowing my parents that if they ever found out that I was an apostate my mother would still support me, whereas my father would first physically attack me, then throw me out of the house and tell me to never show my face again. Yes, he is an elder and thinks of himself as very spiritual. I honestly believe that my mother has doubts so this could also be the reason.

  I guess Russel was right. Religion is a snare and a racket! How brazen of them but I smell lawsuits coming. If someone gets injured because of the cart you know where this is going. Any sharks out there?

  It never ceases to amaze me how anyone can even attempt to justify this. "Oh this is just life. Yes we love to live with terrorism. I've been living here for 30 years and I'm still alive so everything is fine. Nothing to see here." Talk about suffering from cognitive dissonance. I guess being a JW for your whole life can cause permanent damage to the brain.
