  "Why I don't like people coming to my door, selling religion"

  by Captain Schmideo2 in

  this is from a blog, "news from me" that i read fairly regularly.

  mark evanier is, among other things, a comic book writer (co-writer for "groo-the wanderer), a television writer, a great raconteur, and was a close person friend of jack kirby, one of the world's greatest comic book artists.he got an email from a jw trying to explain why they come to his door.evanier's answer is well thought out, and should explain to even the densest j-dub why people really don't like being bothered.

  maybe his correspondent will take it to heart, but probably not.

  Leaving Christendom for the Kingdumb Hall

  by gone for good in

  most of us old timers left behind a stable, respected, religious heritage in our disillusioned haste to join a stupid cult.. as i recall, there was no rite of dissociation required - no reason offered to your church, no resignation required - it was a non-event from the dubs viewpoint.

  what was your experience?

  were you expected to do or say anything as you abandoned your spiritual heritage to become a drone in the watchtower hive?.

  Interesting that some of you remember being told, or at least encouraged to take this action.

  Was any reference from cult publications ever shown as to why this might be necessary? or just JW puffery?

  i'm preparing for my exit after 4 years of de-programming myself from the cult (much help from here..thank you) been fading for as long as i can to keep decades of family and friends, but the moment the "real truth" is arriving soon.. i desire to make an intelligent defense for my actions and of course will never get to first base using any resource material that will shut down the process by my blind brothers and family members.. i have collected some resources on my own, but would appreciate help in the following.. 1) child abuse.

  2) ngo un docs.

  3) follow the money any public records of what the borg spends or invest our money on.

  Do not do this!

  They already know that they are a fraud in every regard you could mention. They have been fully aware of this for the last 130 years. They bring in about one billion dollars annually by perpetrating the same frauds on the same captive group of ignorant Jdubbies.

  The Mormons learned to do it right in 1989, following the example of Norman Hancock, whose 18 million dollar lawsuit actually changed Mormon church policy the same year. ( isn't that really our goal too?)

  Please search and read Leaving the Mormon Church How to get out by Richard Packham

  You have actual legal rights in regard to religious freedoms - learn them! use them!!

  if you worked for your respective government and you were tasked with doomsday preparations, what would you decide to save for future generations?

  Current knowledge of alternate energy sources as a starting point for future energy supplies.

  There will never be again the ''limitless supply'' of fossil fuels we have already squandered away in our last century.

  I ask this as I have an interest in the process and legal aspects of leaving a religion - I'll post some more later.

  A Bible and Quran of course.

  We wouldn't want the harried survivors to delay the opportunity to institutionalize hatred and war as soon as possible.

  After all, wasn't their last worlds economy founded on warfare? - got to have an economy - and what better foundation than greed, power and oppression !

  Child Abuse Trials

  by Garrett in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i'm currently working something up to share with a few people.

  i was wondering if anyone knew the current number (estimation) of child abuse cases that are going on (that we know about)?

  i don't get much time to be on here right now but it seems that cases are sprouting everywhere.

  You are unlikely to hear of abuse cases from Central America. Those countries are ''lawless'' in practical terms.

  The leaders flap their gums, fly about the world slurping hors d'oeurves at conventions for child care and protection etc.etc., adding their countries as signatories to noble ideas - then they return home and do absolutely nothing to implement any improvements or pass into law the protection of rights.

  There is no family law, no child support laws even. Child abuse (like all forms of crime) is rampant - only making the public awareness when a very young girl becomes pregnant .

  Litigation is dangerous as applicants, witnesses, prosecutors and media sources are often murdered.

  Not hard to see why an American JW child molester was located in Central America a few years back.

  Feeling indifferent

  by campaign of hate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  right now, at this point in my life, i feel like i should be angry, sad, upset, annoyed, whatever emotion that most of you guys here feel or have felt.. but the overwhelming feeling i get, and i have got since waking up, is indifference.. i think that this might be my subconscious coping mechanism.

  when i go to the meetings or take part in any other wt related activity, i don't care.

  i just really couldn't care less.. i mean, i do care, but i think it's more a fascination now about the whole thing.

  Indifference can be good.

  It was caring, after all, about such stupid religious drivel - that trapped us with their self serving truths.

  Your Indifference will turn to rage when they move to hold your family hostage until you conform.

  Danish crime series begins with apparent shunning of a young mother, returning home after two decades

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  i began watching a well-reviewed crime series -- dicte -- in streaming netflix last night.

  although it is compelling, the audio was in danish and was close-captioned into english.

  i didn't complete the first episode because watching cc is too laborious for me.

  Thanks Len and Virran -

  I'm with OrphanCrow on the sub titles.

  I often prefer shows with subtitles as the European acting and directing are magnificent - far better than Hollywood .

  Getting hard of hearing so even the great BBC English language shows are getting tough without subtitles.

  I hope this show becomes available in Canada or iat the library.
