JWs and 9-11. What was your reaction when it happened?

by kairos in

jw

My son rang me up about 11pm that night and said turn on your TV ,I said which channel he said it doesn`t matter just turn on your TV.

I looked and was in shock.

I rang my 2nd son and told him ,he worked at that time for an "Elder" brother and went in a bit late the next morning and was questioned why he was late and all he said was "the Twin Towers" and apparently that was not a valid excuse

The Wizard of Oz

by I Faded Twice in

jw
friends

does anyone else see the similarities between the wizard of oz and the gb?.

it's kind of like when the curtain is removed and you find out it's all smoke and mirrors.

plus dorothy wakes up at the end!.

Let`s not forget George Orwell`s book "1984" or even StarTreks The Borg .Movie.

Hit Movies that could be made regarding Jws or other cults

by caves in

one i was thinking of is if a gay jw fell in love with a gay mormon and both got shunned at the same time each in there respective religions 'cough' cults.

both with no more family and no friends.

both with deep conscience issues ripping at the very fabric of their love.

How about a movie about a couple who denied their child a blood transfusion many years ago and now having woken up to TTATT go about suing the religion because Blood fractions were not an option back then which would /could have saved their child`s life.

A similar scenario could be about Vaccinations /organ Transplants that the J.W. religion / G.B. were dead set against in their very own publications which they can`t deny truthfully.

Adding insult to injury when the WT kicks out a congregation from their hall

by nowwhat? in

not only does the organization confiscate the hall the congregation owns.

but then the former congregants are told to continue to pay for utilities and they are still responsible for upkeep and maintenance.

so they still have to cut the grass etc.

The Fall Guy

"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." (Abraham Lincoln)

That may be true for normal people ,however J.W`s are not normal people .

I`ve lost count how many times I was fooled and the last time was 25 years ago and its still going on today .

SHEEEESSSSHHHH

by Apostate Anonymous in

I have friends and acquaintances now and have never divulged that I was once a card carrying J.W..

I am embarrassed and ashamed to admit I was so stupid ,naive to have spent so much of my life convincing my then GF who became my wife and then bringing up two children into this cult.

If I was asked point blank about it I would admit to it but so apologetically.

As you said ,"what in blazes were we thinking"
