  The Wizard of Oz

  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!.

  Hit Movies that could be made regarding Jws or other cults

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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 .

  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"

  Has Your Political Views Affected Your Buying Habits or Entertainment?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  will you avoid nike or tend to not buy apparel because of their support of colin kap?

  would you stop doing business with anyone simply because you disagree with their politics?

  in california, in and out burger, democrats were being told not to support the chain because they donated to republicans.. will politics affect your spending habits?.

  In a word NO.

  And neither are my views of Corporations and Businesses or Actors or their views have any affect or even effect on anything I buy or watch on screen either cinema or TV.

  Corporations and Businesses are out to make money ......to earn a living.....O.K. and profits . and keep shareholders happy .

  Actors are just playing a part and do not subscribe to the role they are playing. And their personal views on any given subject is just that their personal views .

  They are just being paid for the job at hand.

  because I like or support a certain actor in a particular Movie does not in any way mean I support his/her political or religious views in any way.

  The same is with singers ,because I like certain singers does not mean I agree with their personal political or religious views

  I think its the height of stupidity to boycott this that or the other because you don`t agree with some issue you don`t agree with.

  If what you don`t agree with was analysed to the Nth degree ,you would probably be found to be a hypocrite.

  How many JW´s spend their whole lives being JW´s?

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever since i became an exjw activist... i have wondered, how many people can i hope to reach?.

  what are the odds that my parents and loved ones will live out the remainder of their lives as jehovah´s witnesses?.

  is there a way to calculate the odds that any jw will remain a jw for the rest of their lives?.

  I would venture to say born ins who have parents and other relatives who are J.W.`s and that makes it so much harder to break from the mould as their is too much to lose ,family and life long friends that you have only known since birth.

  The emotional bond can be so hard to break free from regardless of the knowledge one might have gained that something is not what it seems ,it just doesn`t add up ,or doubts that appear.

  It could be overwhelming for many people to face that and bite the bullet.

  They would just bide their time and wait and see ,wait and see , wait and see .......until they die.
