i admire the work you are doing so much. hopefully the WT will finally have to take some action towards prevention, and stop down-playing the problem. cheers-nate.

Written review

by Moxy in

i have a number of things to say about this wacky 45min school session.. why is it that it is inappropriate for the conductor to ever simply say that an answer is 'wrong'?

invariably, he must ask for 'another answer,' particularly amusing during the true & false when there is only one other answer.

shouldnt we be helped to reason on why someone might incorrectly come to this conclusion but why, in fact, this other conclusion is the 'correct' one?

LOL, moxy!! i hadn't thought about written reviews for a while. i always found them to be odd as well. the section at the end where you match the scripture to the paraphrased text, what was that all about? an exercise in flipping through the bible? quite pointless, IMO. thanks for bringing back the memories, they are always good for a laugh.:)-nate

Randall Watters exposed

by StiLLinTruth in

hello again friends!.

well it was time again for me to take my weekly dose of apostate faeces and see what it tastes like.

decided to check out randy watters this time (we all love him here) and his little testimony on freeminds.org, titled "what happened at bethel in 1980?

unanswered

still- are you still giving yourself the title "apostate-buster"? you used this expression last time you graced us with your presence, and i have yet to see evidence of it. it seems you think you have some special immunity to apostates, and great ability to defend your belief of the scriptures. what i fail to see is anything but the intellect of the WT. i could find pretty much everyone of your answers in a bound volume, so it is very hard for me to be impressed by your attempts.

you have been in the org. for one year, you could have learned all the rules by now, but you haven't. even though you side step this every time, i assure you, the WT does not approve of your actions on this website. if you WERE totally familiar with the rules of the WT, you would know that it wouldn't matter even if you DID have an immunity to apostates-the WT is very clear about the rules applying to everyone, and doesn't make exception for those with "special" abilities.

it seems to me that you are doing what most jws do at some point, and altering the WT rules to fit your desires, and it's only taken you a year! so you have your own micro-sect going within your beloved "truth", don't feel bad, tons of active witnesses do this, it makes it easier to stomach the things you know are messed up within the org. if i was still a jw, i would probably have to do the same thing. in a way, you're one of us(i shudder to think)! a year into it, and already deciding which teachings you will accept, and which ones you will reject. bravo!!! and welcome to the dark side.:)

not letting you bother me this time, and much happier for it!(although last time it was more like an itchy rash)-nate

how wonderful!!!

i am so glad some have finally had this realization.

hopefully, thinker and i will get to meet some too.

riz- i totally concur, meeting carmel this morning was great.:) it was fun sharing stories, too.

carmel-i hope there are future meetings, you are a true gentleman.

thinker's wife-thank you for the nice thoughts, it would be very nice to meet you and your husband.:) i have posted this before, but my wife posts under the name rileygurl, it's just that she doesn't often get the opportunity to post.:( i wish she could, though, i'm sure everyone would find her a lot more interesting than me.:)

there are so many more of you i would love to meet, this morning really affirmed for me how nice it was to have a sense of community again. cheers-nate
