I've got to admit one thing about this guy Yadirf. He sure knows how to talk his way around a subject's issues. Man, he should go into comedy. It's fun to watch him cut people down to size with tissue-paper scissors.

Wrong type alternative service
by Yadirf inquoted below is the testimony of an ex-jw (one of the posters here) who faced the draft in the '60s.
notice the form of "alternative service" that he would've been required to do had he been drafted.
not civilian, but as one who would work in a military hospital ... which would be aiding the war effort -- a breach of one's neutrality.. .

Prejudice
by Elders_Kid init would seem to me that an organization that preaches so strongly about brotherly love could be so prejudice.. i have been d/f for just about seven years, and it wasn't until a couple of years ago that this occured to me.
remember how we couldn't spend time with people from school because they were "bad association"?
or you werent supposed to spend too much time with "worldly" relatives because they might be a bad influence?.

I have been 'shunned' before, while never having been one of their fold.
I think some of them thrive on the prejudice they are 'permitted' to display. I guess it feeds their badly bruised egos.
I love to remind them how 'loving' they are. You can tell that it urks them to have an outsider that knows many of their 'tricks'
heh.

Questions to ask the Dub at your door
by ozziepost inwhen you next have a visit from a dub, what will you say?.
perhaps you should have some quickfire questions ready to ask them.
1. how come jesus kicked satan out of heaven in october 1914, at the end of the gentile times, when satan had started ww1 to distract attention from the kingdom's establishment around july 1914 ?.

4. What in hell are you trying to sell me now?
5. Hey, are you the people who protect child molesters?
6. Did you folks not see the NO TRESPASSING sign?

What does your ID or Nick say about you?
by LyinEyes insomeone replied to a post i entered and got me thinking what others perceive about us due to the nicks or id we have chosen.
some of the nicks i am sure are just self explanatory , others are cute, or simple.
although i suspect that very many in this room,took time to think of theirs and definitly the nick holds some little secret as to who they are as a person.

Are Jw's the only ones with apostates....
by VioletAnai inwho viciously attack the teachings and beliefs of their resigned religion?.
i was thinking of this last night....i have never in my life seen a movement so big as the apostates against jw's..... no other religion has displayed this....usually people just quietly leave and get on with their lives and there is no anomosity...even if they have been wronged by their religion.... but with jw's it's different...it's an all out and out attack on anyone and everyone who has something positive to say.... makes me believe the bible and the jw's even more...being here is setting the doubt in my mind right....

Abaddon:
It's a nice try but I doubt you will get a sincere conversation out of Vio now. She's got the 'us vs. them' that many on this board manifest against the society, only now for the society's position once again. At least the folks here tried to help her. Now she's an infected T-cell. Nothing can be done until she decides to rid herself of the virus.

Violetanai's baptismal party - all invited
by Marilyn inbasically we're all open minded right?
so lets put aside our negative comments and throw a cyber-space send off for violet's up coming baptism into dubdom.
she said she's planning on getting baptised soon and clearly our advice and negative thoughts are hurting her feelings.

Oh, Viloetanai does dope. Now I understand why she wants to be a JW. From one addiction to another (drugs to religious opium).
To each his/her own.

JW molester in the news
by silentlambs inhttp://www.bergen.com/page.php?level_3_id=7&page=3284376.
a west milford man pleaded guilty to child endangerment offenses friday for sexual encounters he had with two teenage girls he met through his membership at the jehovah's witnesses temple in town.. tom blankenship, 23, had been befriended by an elder at the church and was often invited over for meals and visits, said joseph del russo, passaic county chief assistant prosecutor.. from the fall of 1998 through april 2000, blankenship had sexual relations with one of the elder's relatives, a 17-year-old girl.
he had similar sexual contact with another relative, a 14-year-old girl, from june 2001 through feb. 21, del russo said.. although there was no physical force used in the incidents, blankenship was charged with multiple sexual assault charges because of the victims' ages.

A suggestion, when writing up these articles, please make sure that you address everything regarding your line of thinking. Sometimes we assume that other's mental prowess matches our own, and sometimes that is sadly not the case.
I also agree with the French'ster that you should take a moment to calm down before lashing out, as it makes you look like a snake regardless of your motives.
I disagree with Pathofthorns that you will never be satisfied with anything the org does. I realize that you want NO protection for child molesters, and I understand that completely. I don't find that an unreasonable request, because I've seen that if you give this "org" an inch they will take a mile just to get you off of their holier-than-thou backs.
I appreciate you not allowing the WT to slap up some specious policy changes that SEEM to help your cause meanwhile letting the real problem lie unattended right under your nose.
Thank you for all the work that you are doing to fight child molestation fostered by belief marketeers.
