  Would YOU kill someone if you felt they really deserved to die?

  by gaiagirl in

  2. friends

  could be anyone, osama bin laden, oj simpson, pat robertson, someone who personally hurt you or your family, anyone at all.

  would you pull the trigger, throw the switch, etc, which would end someones life?

  would it make a difference if no one would ever know, versus everyone knowing?

  What Bothers You The Most About Jehovah's Witnesses?

  for me, i think it's their hypocrisy.

  they lead (the vast majority) a double life.

  and ultimately they look down on anyone not a jw yet they won't even wn up to it.

  hypocrits. Liars. Backstabbers. No clue what love really is and yet claim to have it. Heartless.

  If there were a God who planned to save only a segment of mankind, it would not be them.

  How many ex-jws move out of town to start over?

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering how common it is for ex-jws to relocate after leaving the borg in order to escape the bad memories of being in a cult, or to break contact with cult members.. i have wanted to move far away for as long as i can remember--even as a kid--for this purpose.

  various life circumstances have delayed that--long story--but mr. rebel8 and i are thinking of moving within the next few years.

  i am the one who's most interested in moving to a completely different type of place--different culture, different climate, different everything!

  We moved several states away and faded at the same time. It was great to never be running into any jws we knew. The probem was the ones from where we came from that were planning to visit. That was about the time the UN thing happened and I mentioned it to them and lo and behold, they all dumped me like a hot tater None have contacted me since. Got to love it !

  HELP!! ADVICE....Saying NO to pioneering

  by Kristofer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a female friend who i've been discussing the religion with.

  she definitely has doubts about the org but isn't sure on leaving just yet as she has still got about 6 months to go being a minor dependent on the parents.

  lately, she's been getting heavy pressure to start pioneering.

  She could say she will give it some thought and get back to them. And just keep repeating that every time they ask

  What keeps you from killing yourself?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every once in a while, the whole "futility of life" thing washes over me and something inside of me mentions the suicide option.

  not that it's ever seriously considered, but one of the low-level accounting-types in my head quietly sends around a "worst-case scenario" memo that everyone reads, then dismisses.. after all, things always perk up.

  "but," reminds the pessimistic little guy that should've been fired years ago, "they always go back down, too.

  2. friends

  this one really freaked me out.

  i was so brainwashed at the time i found a way to justify it.

  i think i?ve been repressing my anger about this and now i need to vent.

  In a neighboring congregation a young couple was in a car accident and the eight month pregnant wife was killed. She was an only child. The next day her parents were out in field service.

  In our congregation a family lost their son in a car accident. A few weeks later I heard the father telling of the other family's experience and how he admired the parents' faith.

  Only JWs could admire such a lack of emotion.

  this is scary.... www.zillow.com.

  just type in your address and you can get a bird's eye view satellite of any home in usa.

  this is much better than google satellite.

  This was most interesting. We just made an offer on a house and it was accepted. When I type in the address of the house, it shows that it is worth $15,000 more than we are paying for it. We are getting a screamin' deal and I did not know it until I looked it up on zillow

  Thank you for this infromation.
