  Help for the faithless!

  by philo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am interested in the usages of 'loyalty' and 'faithfulness' in watchtower writing.

  because faithfulness, to a christian, is usually between the individual and his/her god, whereas loyalty is more often used to describe lower allegiances to causes, organisation, leaders etc, as illustrated.... loyal.

  faithful adherence to one's promise, oath, word, etc.

  ok, josephus. I understand you. (a little)

  gsark,

  ALL your points are so very true.

  willy_think,

  You never fail to make me think, and I love your bit of sarcasm. How is you dad, anyway? Have you been able to get anywhere with him?

  zev,

  I will think of a FUN comment about the W.B.T.S. to get back to the humour we all need, as kismet said. I'm sorry for getting "ripped" in a bad way. Thanks kismet for the reminder.

  YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANW.
  here we go again. lets hurl abuse at this tiny little org,

  Yeah.....the "tiny little" MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR org who hold over SIX MILLION followers. ( who all think that it is God they are following, and not an org)

  while all the while ignoring
  the HUGE groups who do far worse things.

  Who here ingores HUGE groups who do far worse things?

  Catholic nums were implicated in the murders of ruwandins (spelt wrong).

  but do we hear people cursing the pope NO.

  oh "NO"? ...I am only one person in all this whole world, and I have heard PLENTY of people curse the pope. so how many others have? I haven't on this board because this board isn't about the pope. Have you ever done a search and found boards that have PLENTY of people cursing the pope? I'm SURE you'll find more than one if you bother to look!

  THE FACTS ARE SIMPLE.

  the wtbts are wrong.

  Why is it that you didn't put "the wtbs are wrong" in CAPS, as you did "THE FACTS ARE SIMPLE]?

  I'll do it for you...THE WBTS ARE WRONG.

  BUT they are not worse than many others groups, and are better than lots all over the world.

  They ARE WORSE than many other groups! THEY are a CULT! And maybe they are better than lots all over the world. My question would be...who? Who are they better than?

  GET ON WITH LIFE.

  Fortunately, some of us who followed the WBTS are still here and ALIVE to be able to go on with our lives. Obviously, you are too. But you are unthankful that you haven't been a VICTIM of following a CULT and gave your LIFE for it back when this "wrong" group had it ORDERS to follow, or be handed to SATAN!

  or if you must, attack all religion.

  stop beleiving every bad thing you read about jws.

  if i wrote an article telling you guys the elders were into satanic child abuse you would all beleive me.

  SICKENINGLY....You are confusing religion with CULTS. Tell me...what is the difference in your opinion?

  SADLY MANY PEOPLE LIE about the wtbts, and you guys only help them with your fake rage

  SADLY, MANY PEOPLE DIED for the wbts, and there own leaders only helped them along with thier fake holy spirit.

  i saw a posting the other day where someone was "giving the wtbts fair warning" if they visited him.

  YEEH RIGHT. they are reading hisr post and recording it.

  some of you have the jws blown out of all proportion.

  You should get the REALITY of what a RELIGION is, and what a CULT is. KNOW the difference!

  Farkel: How is your father, how are you?

  Farkel,

  My thoughts are with you and your parents during this very difficult, painful time. I like your idea of going up on the ptaform and speaking the truth about your father when the time comes. I'd want to go up there and speak the truth about him either way,whether the JWs have their stupid sales pitch or not. It is YOU and your mom who will have lost your loved family member. Maybe you could arrange that? Would the Jdubs allow you to speak at his funeral and say some last words about your father?

  I hope this doesn't all upset you even more. It was just a thought, but I'm not sure what is allowed and you won't know unless you ask.

  peace to you,
  somebody

  PS...Cygnus...I'm sorry to hear about your dad too. It's not easy. I'll keep you and yours in my thoughts also.

  Chris....What your father said to you is heartbreaking!

  tonight i was at a fellow jdubs house.. there was 3 couples.

  my wife was in the can.

  somehow, in the split second she dissappeared, the conversation turned to pedophiles, catholic priest and how they cover it up.

  zev,

  I don't knowwhat to say about how physically ill you are becoming in trying to hold everything in. I'd advice you to come COMPLETELY clean with all your feelings about the borg seeing as how it's effecting you in more ways than one, but I don't know if that is the right thing to do or not. I'm praying that you can get some advice here from those who have reached the point you are at right now, and what they did.

  My best to you.

  peace,

  i posted this in another thread.... i wanted to give it its due concideration..... i wish to share a small tid-bit of something that came to "light" last week.

  it shows how underhanded and sneeky the little trolls are, and they even know they are.. an issue came up recently in a watchtower over a certain number of years that was mentioned in a w.t.

  the actual years in the bible was different.

  i knew someone when i was little named debra garcia.

  she divorced and married someone else, but i do not know her new name.

  the last time i saw her was in west helena, arkansas a few years ago, and she tried to speak to me, but i had been trained not to talk to this "evil apostate".

  Sarah,

  Here is the link to the WBTS's media site. It's what they tell the public in order to deceive. http://www.jw-media.org/

  click on "thier beliefs" and then on Frequently asked Questions...you'll find the quote stating that DF'd does not sever family ties.

  I'm sorry for all the pain you are in. Stay here with us while you begin to heal.

  peace,
