  ok, jesus refers to god as his father.

  The JW religion or the person, whose fault is it?

  by larc in

  2. friends

  i just read the tragic story of the man in chicago who beat his daughter to death.

  i have read stories here and on silentlambs about sexual abuse.. my question is: how much fault can be placed on the religion and how much on the perversions of a particular individual?

  i frankly don't know the answer to this question.

  Should I send a letter to the CO?

  some of you may remember that when i joined this forum i was having problems at home regarding the un issue.

  everything appears to have settled down now and i promised my mum that i wouldnt mention it again to her.

  however, looking back at the events around that time, i feel that the circuit overseer not only made it difficult for me, but also for my mother.

  indeed... since i decided that i wouldn't be a publisher any longer and make no more talks, i've noticed more people avoiding me, talking less to me, etc.

  i mean, what is this crap?

  i wasn't baptized, i still maintain exemplary behaviour, etc.

  Reasons to Quit

  by Frenchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  -some of you might recognize that caption as the title to one of merle and willie's biggest hits but this is not about drugs and alcohol but about something many of us here hold in common.. i have read many reasons stated here for those who have left the organization either formally (through df'ing or da'ing) and those that are still technically in but mentally out.

  some (quite a few as i expected) have left to pursue lifestyles inconsistent with teachings which they evidently once held dear (they were questioned about those beliefs prior to baptism) but have now abandoned.

  that reasoning is absurd but it makes good sense to the rank and file.

  Do JW's really 'trust in Jehovah'????

  by DannyBear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw's claim to trust their god jehovah implicitly.

  they fervently preach, teach, publish unending articles about god's protection, even baptising converts who have sworn an oath to jehovah and his "representitive organization" .

  they believe unreservedly that god takes a, moment by moment, active role in watching out, taking palpable action on behalf of jw welfare.
