The awful treatment of my disfellowshipped cousin still continues

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

my cousin was disfellowshipped twenty years ago when he was 18 years old.

he admitted to the congregation elders that he was fornicating with his ''wordly'' girlfriend.

the elders were following him and hiding in their cars to see what he was up to.

"How bout next time you mind your business instead of trying to be argumentative?"

It is a public forum so I am free to post my option in if I want ...just as you did.

I wasn't being argumentative.....I just object to seeing crass comments about "indisceet maggots burning in hell for an eternity" which was not even a JW belief anyway. (were you even a JW???..rhetorical question ...I am not interested)

That is being "off topic" and has nothing to do with personal bias.

I hate all religion for this very reason ...it has pious people delighting in the impending judgement and punishment of others who don't see their point of view.

It makes me sick to the stomach and when you make comments like that in the future I will continue to call you out on it.

Yes. I feel for your cousin. I lost everything including my family and grandchildren I have never even seen from this cult.

It was the stupid comment about burning in hell and gleefully wanting people to burn and be punished that I was objecting to, not your post.

Rules snd Reg

Hands up......right up and waving.

It was ME!!!

So you think that I should be burnt in hell too and for people to queue up and watch me burn??

I have lost my entire family due to this obscene cult so don't try and lecture me on the damage and hurt disfelowshipping does.

It was his ridiculous burning in hell rant I was negging, not his thoughts about the org.

(rules and regs has deleted his post? Asking about who negged the post about burning in hell....just to repeat...it was me. He then suggested that I deserve the same treatment as the org. sick)

There is no hell.

This sort of moronic ranting about burning in hell and gleefully watching people getting punished is everything that is wrong with religious zealots and their like.

It sounds as insane as the org themselves.

Unspeakable arrogance - As Usual

by Slidin Fast in

today's wt para 1. if you are a young person, you have likely received much advice about your future.

teachers, guidance counselors, or others may have encouraged you to pursue higher education and a lucrative career.

jehovah, however, advises you to take a different course.

Exelder

My biggest regret ...not being able to go to university.

Also teachers BEGGEd me to allow my children to pursue a further education but I said no based on what I was taught and believed at the time.

I feel so bitter and angry now.

My only skill now?

I am only good at cleaning windows.

They have a lot to answer for.

Live streaming of BBC expose' being blocked on the internet.

by The Fall Guy in

it looks like someone doesn't want this video to be shown.

the stream was allowed to show what can be seen here, but was then abruptly halted.

Exelder

I don't like his message or the racist undertones BUT the more they try to suppress him and censor him the bigger and more angrier his following will get.

They are growing, getting more vocal, more powerful and much more demonstrative than the main stream party supporters.

They would be better to give him an equal platform for proper debate so people can make up their own minds about what he has to say.

As the quote goes, "I hate what you have to say, but I defend to the death your right to say it".

Disfellowshipped & Returning

by tartan4588 in

jw
friends

i am disfellowshipped and have been going back for well over a year now but because its not my 1st time it will be a bit longer before i will write my letter, would really love to find others in my area who are in the same situation as some many know its very isolating, not mixing with worldly people and not being allowed to be with family and friends can take its toll on a person, just wondering if there is anyone in perth wa that would like to get together for a coffee, movie ect .

Exelder

You obviously have your own reasons why you are putting yourself though this (family relatives still witnesses etc) but to be honest, if you are on THIS site and you want to meet up with fellow disfellowshipped people then your heart really isn't in it AND there is no way they would reinstate you if they knew.

Think very seriously about your reasons for going back and putting yourself through this charade (TWICE!).

Is this double life really the one that you want to live?

If you truly believed it all and wanted to do everything the JW way I would let you get on with it, but you obviously don't want to be fully committed to their teachings.

Right now you are free. Do a list of pros and cons and see if you really want to go through this again.

You will be back in no mans land again. Not truly belonging there with them or with the rest of civilisation on the outside of the org.

IF you truly believed what they taught, you would know that come 'armageddon' you would be killed anyway and would not have 'holy spirit". I don't know why you would voluntarily want to make this half-baked return to go back.

I am not judging....but trying to give you a virtual shake and get you to look at what you are doing.

Never in my wildest dream would I ever see one of those dog gone carts

by Tameria2001 in

i moved to where i'm currently living for 10 years now.

once in a while, i would have jws come to my door and every single time either i or my husband would send them on their merry way, although my husband is quite rude about it.

i'm not sure when the cart witnessing (or whatever it is called) started up, but the only time i ever heard about it was on the internet, or someone here talking about it.

Exelder

That video was nauseating. A bit of sick actually popped up in my mouth.

To me, it shows that they (the ones on the cart) really don't believe armageddon is coming any time soon.

If they truly believed it how could they just stand there passively knowing that nearly all of the people walking passed them are going to be killed within the foreseeable future. Surely they should be trying harder and not hiding behind a cart looking at their phones or drinking coffee.

At best is shows a complacence and at worst it is sheer arrogance and shows that they absolutely do not care about people at all.

IF this is supposed to be Gods way of warning people that he is going to bring destruction on the planet, it is a despicable, lazy way of doing it.

"Jehovah' is no better. He would know (if he was real) that people are more cynical than ever and already have information overload. Does he REALLY think that people invisiblly hiding behind a cart is the most effective way of saving lives?

They make me sick with their piousness.
