Man, use your name - there's nothing in this whole world to be afraid of, except Bin Laden, Bush and the Devil!

Oh me, oh my, that was THE worst bullshit I have ever read - and I have read a lot!
Imagine, they're after my money - and I haven't donated one single dollar in the last 10 years!
And hey! - it's my damned RIGHT to join the military forces! Wow! And I, who was a consentuous objector BEFORE I became a Witness! Wow! I guess I must retract my inner feelings that I had before that time as well!
Surely this must be an objective book, free from prejudice ..... -

Well I wrote a similar letter to the US some days ago, so I really don't get it, why it's such a big deal that someone writes a letter. But OK, let us see how the replies are, and compare.

A New Breed Of JW Emerging?
by Englishman inis there a new breed of jw emerging, i wonder?.
i know that there are lots of real brainwashed dubs around who see demons behind every car boot sale item and who scuttle off to the elders with every bit of tittle-tattle imaginable, but, i think that there is a new type of dub who quietly does just as he / she pleases.. this is what i think: many of the long-serving jw's who have seen the 1975 failure and the 1914 generation change are now approaching old age with something of a jaundiced eye, and are choosing to do their own thing in their remaining years.
in conversations i am picking up it seems that the elders are being regarded somewhat derisively by many jw's.

A few examples: My Mum, dub for 50 years, happy to go on holiday with both DF'd sons, sees no need to inform anyone of this. Attends all the meetings.
My ex-father in law, dub for 40+ years now goes to Italy to reunions with WW2 ex-soldier compatriots, what he does is his business, he says. Attends all the meetings.
*************************************************************
Just a line to these two examples of yours: I doubt it if anybody ever would have objected to any of these things.
Your point is interesting, but these examples were so "harmless" that who would ever have objected?
But what it boils down to, is that people perhaps are finally beginning to realize that their service, their obedience, their responsability etc. is towards God and Christ, not towards human beings or organizations.
People perhaps are finally growing adult? -

Dearest Kent, what should be the purpose of posting this news report? Making fun of the woman? Ridiculing all Witnesses based on the generalizing from this single instance? I hope it is not a case of making fun of people grieving?

Should I be doing more?
by WTLies inmy story is posted in the "personal experiences" section of this discussion board and someone responded with and interesting observation.
he said that it's great that i'm now out but that i have 'dues to pay' to those whom i have disfellowshipped and talked out of going to college while serving as an elder.
while serving as an elder i did share in disfellowshipping several members of the congregation, many of whom are still out there being shunned by family and friends.

If a someone who considers themself "divinely guided" tells you that you should go out and take a dump on the road as it is God's will, then you do so and get arrested, it was your own fault for listening to the one who recommended you take a dump on the road to remain in favor with God as it was your personal choice to do so.
The "divinely guided" one has done nothing wrong.
