  by Newly Enlightened in

  while everyone has been bickering back and forth, i decided to do something positive to move forward.

  as most of you know back in jan our family marked us as apostates and started shunning us.. so i wrote to all of my congress-people and told them what is going on with the jw's.

  i told them how they are breaking up families, teaching the children intolerance, etc.

  Thank you T.S! I realize how easy it is for all of us to become negative when we've all been thru so much with WTBT$ and the affect it has had on our lives.

  Better daze: Here is one of them. I had to use Google translate to read them. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=no&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nrk.no%2Fnyheter%2Fnorge%2F1.10651396&act=url

  The thing about Ms. Grisham is, that this is her first term and on the T.V, they have her always giving interviews, with her being a concerned parent herself, how she wants to know what affects all of us as parents.

  It may be a generated letter, which is fine. But how can they just throw away or ignore the violent pictures from the children's book & dot to dots that I sent them?

  It doesn't really matter what I got back, it's how they viewed those things i sent them that is the bigger question. I also threw in there the quote from the psychologists in Norway that said JW's were raising the next generation of serial killers.

  1947 Awake Says Excommunication is Unbiblical and Pagan!

  by Ding in

  january 8, 1947 awake!:.

  excommunication is "altogether foreign to biblical teachings.".

  it's an unbiblical roman catholic teaching by which "you are looked upon with the blackest contempt... being cursed and damned with the devil and his angels.".

  While everyone has been bickering back and forth, I decided to do something positive to move forward. As most of you know back in Jan our family marked us as apostates and started shunning us.

  So I wrote to all of my Congress-people and told them what is going on with the JW's. I told them how they are breaking up families, teaching the children intolerance, etc. I sent copies of the dot to dots with the VIOLENT pictures from the Bible Stories book, etc. Someone from JW struggle wrote a letter to whomever describing how his life had been ruined by WTBT$.

  I don't have any affiliation with any activists websites. I did this on my own and just wanted you all to know why I did this.

  I got this back today and I've gotten 2 more just like it. So while you're all fighting, just remember that Congress is going to be looking at these posts now and I wanted them to see the heartbreaking way how WTBT$ is breaking up families. Just something to think about.

  new july 2013 awake says this on page 3:.

  "there is a 14 percent greater probability that a person over 60 years of age will die on his birthday rather than on other days.".

  wow, they have now proven that birthdays are pagan and not fit for christians!.

  What's in a name? - Israel wasn't for Yaweh !

  by snare&racket in

  who the el' is el' ?.

  the original god of israel was el, not yahweh, as is evident in the patriarchal narratives: the name isra-el means el rules, not yahweh rules that would be isra-yahu.

  (bellah, 2011, p. 287).

  Maybe we should just call him "El-o Hey You, great spirit in the sky"

  or:

  El o El o

  El o El o I love you, won't you tell me your name

  . El o El o I love you, can I join in your game." [60's Song by the Doors]

  WTS Suggestion Box (to give back for all the things the WT has done for us)

  by return of parakeet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sometimes i think we're too hard on the wts and the dubs.

  a dub's life, after all, is not an easy one: minimal formal education, low-paying jobs, incessant demands on their time for meetings, field service, shunning, regular beatings for their children, etc.. even the wts itself is not immune.

  think of all the hard work the gb must do to keep their "new light" up-to-date without making the old light look like a pack of lies.

  Welcome! Glad to have you here with us.

  I'm not here to judge anyone. My little brother was raised a JW but he realized he was gay. But because he came 'out', the family shunned him. He ended up committing suicide by jumping off of a 14 story building.
