"Apostasy" is worse than...??
by stuckinarut2 init is funny to contemplate how ridiculous the act of shunning "apostates" who leave the org for conscientious reasons is.. so we have been rudely ignored and even abused by jws who :.
1) have been imprisoned recently for dishonest business practices and fraud worth millions of dollars.
2) have been bankrupt several times.

I find it funny that Jehovah and Jesus Christ never shunned Satan and Jehovah is going to give his buddy Satan a free pass to cause havoc on mankind after Jesus Christ 1000 year rule ends . Job , Mat, Revelation .
But he is a God of love isn`t he .

What i am saying is that the WT used the Greek text "and God was the word" and then they interpret it to mean "the word was a god"
Christians claim that the Bible is the word of God ,Gods word ,they either believe what it says or they want to "interpret" what God meant to say.
Is God so incompetent that he can`t say what he means ? or that he does not mean what he says ?
The reason that their are over 40,000 Christian sects in the world is simply because they all interpret the scriptures to what God meant to say according to their own agenda and not what is stated in the oldest existing manuscripts .
That`s just my 2 cents worth.

And JWs will cry "apostate driven lies" and "persecution" when that show gets aired...
Just got this quote from A&E web site and sad to say it will be from former members, so any current JW will just blame apostates for their lies on this show. Its worth a watch though.
Who cares what "they" JW`s think or say the majority of people who watch it will be non J.W.`s and they will be informed as to what a cult the J.W.religion is ? and they wont be new recruits ,ever .

I would just quote the "Kingdom Interlinear of The Christian Greek Scripture" by the WTB&TS emphasizing the word for word translation "and god was the word"

I`m interested in your involvement in prison ministry as I was interested with a WT or Awake article that gave some experiences some 25-30 years ago or more .
Some years later I experienced first hand how a JW`s Elder handled prison visits and it was nothing like what the society`s magazines said and was in full contrast to how other "Clergy" did their prison work.
The Clergy of Christendom were known by the prison officials and could come and go as they pleased anytime during the day to minister who ever they wanted.
In contrast with Christendom the Elder never identified himself as a JW who was ministering to an inmate {a couple of JW`s were incarcerated at the time } and he only went in as a visitor during official visiting times .
So in effect the prison system was not going to be reminded that J.W.`s were incarcerated and they were not aware that an Elder of the JW faith was making prison visits.
Thinking back on that it was so no reproach would be brought on Jehovah`s name.
However the Society`s magazine gave an entirely different and false impression.
And that was just another reason I started to doubt seriously what the organization said and what they actually did in practice.
And that occurred about 30 years ago.
I hope your not being so dishonest also jehovahisgod I`m glad to see you used the small g in god.Gen.3:22

Why Are Schools Targets Of So Much Gun Violence?
by Brokeback Watchtower inwhy are so many youth flipping out and gunning down fellow students?
is there something seriously wrong with society?
does the public education/indoctrination system need some serious tweaking?

America has always had a fascination with guns its a cultural thing going all the way back to the "Wild West" to the Mob violence of the 20`s and 30`s .
What other nation on earth has in its Constitution the right of every citizen to own and carry a firearm ?
correct me if I`m wrong but isnt that the case with the USA ?
Could it be a part of a narcissistic obsession with fame (infamy will do) and celebrity?
That certainly could have a lot to do with it too

How come nobody`s mentioned "Watching The World" AWAKE Magazine that`s the only News worth reading about was what I was told many years ago by the "Society" never mind that it was always biased and month`s behind and out of date and irrelevant.
