Yes, this is a horrible crime. It's simply amazing what demonic human beings are capable of.

just as a matter of curiosity i was wondering if any of you know of anybody who has read raymond franz' 'crisis of conscience' and who actually remained a jw?
i have sent and lent this book to a number of people within the wts, even a co, all of whom left eventually.
one person remained due to domestic issues, but resigned from all his duties and remains as such.
Should it surprise you? The book is a typical "I'm right and everyone else is wrong" tale. It is very similar to the posts on this forum that ridicule all Witnesses of Jehovah for their faith. I can see how it can affect someone that is already looking for a way out or someone that is critical of minor things in their congregation. It is only the point of view of one man and that's all.

i haven't posted as much here as i've wanted these past few weeks, but i've spent most of my time lurking here, or in chat.
for the last few 2 months roughly, every meeting i attended became extremely painful to endure, such that i would come up with excuses to miss as many as possible.
but there are 2 events that really gave me a swift kick to wake me up and realize that things had to change.
Mom is right, but you don't want to hear that, that's why your come here to vent your frustrations and take away your own responsability.

I am honored to have been mentioned as a favorite, but I don't understand why you think I don't make sense when I'm making perfectly good sence out of everything that makes sence. I say things that are not too popular, but it doesn't mean that they are not popular to me or to the rest that read that unpopupar statement and it makes sense to them.
i recieved a 7 page "note" from my brother and his wife pleading with me to come back to jehovah god and his organization.
he said the devil was after me and my family and that the results will be disastrous unless i come back to "jehovah's protective custody".
also, it was strongly implied that unless my family went back to meetings and went out in field service, most jws, including family members would not attend my daughter's wedding and reception.my wife, daughter and i have been overtaken by the devil, according to him.
I don't know about you minimus, but I would be pissed if anyone dissed my brother the way these posters do. It's my view that even if I were to criticize my family, I would never allow anyone else to muddy their name or intelligence.
it seems millenia ago that homosexuals dared not declare that fact about them out loud for fear of being imprisoned, beaten to death or at least ostracized by society.
true, some are still ostracized, some are still beaten but more and more they are simply becoming a part of the social fabric of families, communities and society as a whole.. was it just 1969 that a handful of drag queens decided enough was enough and refused to meekly be led off to jail for the night simply for socializing with each other in a bar in new york city.
i was 11 years old when that happened and was just beginning to understand that i myself was a homosexual.
I was a bit surprised to see my message was deleted. It's interesting that I did not comment, but only quoted scriptures for Joel to read. Shows me that Satan's servants are hard at work in ignoring and deleting scriptures.
