Welcome! That's very sad to hear LAPG....
My thoughts are with you today.
i was raised a jw since childhood.
besides the emotional trauma that comes with being an outsider from the rest of the real world, my father was phsically, mentally and verbally abusive to my 2 younger sisters and i. apparently my mother seemd to be so brainwashed with the ideas of respect for headship and all the other bs she didn't do anything about the abuse.needless to say my father was also an elder, sheperding the flock while at home beating his children senseless.
after 20 years of this and all 3 children leaving home by the age of 16,something finally clicked in her head.
Welcome! That's very sad to hear LAPG....

this is a sincere question.
do you worry about offending active witnesses?
Sometimes some of you just don't see that when you're being particularly vicious you're fulfilling the 'false prophets' 'wolves in sheeps clothing' and therefore cementing in the jw's mind that they DO have the right religion.......
Sometimes you need to think about the consequences of your actions. Strike that. We all need to think about the consequences of our actions.....ALL the time.

I have a hard time convincing the elders that Dateline aired a story....let alone getting their attention for this one!
They still don't believe that this sort of thing goes on in the congregation. In my congregation anyway.
the knowledge that leads to everlasting life:.
page 27 paragraph 2 states:.
all who want god's favour must learn to call upon his name in faith.
The Knowledge that Leads to Everlasting Life:
Page 27 Paragraph 2 states:
All who want God's favour must learn to call upon his name in faith. The bible promises: "Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah WILL be saved" (Romans 10:13). Yes, the name Jehovah has rich meaning. Calling upon Jehovah as your God and Deliverer CAN lead you to endless happiness.
So what is it: Call on Jah in faith and you WILL be saved or call on Jehovah in faith and you COULD have a chance????

are all men bad?
of course the answer is no!
it is also true that not all men who work at the watchtower are bad.
Yeah but it probably got lost under all the crap.....
I like that point....I, too, don't like being placed in the same basket.....
Stay strong IW...
the jw brotherhood is composed of people.
you know people right?
people are the ones we work with, the ones we live next to, the ones we share this planet with.
I just hope that D8TA cools down....I won't hold it against him.....and I hope he will do the same.....
Forgive and forget and have a good, calm life.......
