I agree wholeheartedly, but what do they think they achieve by throwing acid in our eyes?

What's with all the JWs unleashing the hate!?
by Julia Orwell inmost of us here on jwn, while we can get a bit narky at times, can put forth intelligent arguments and sound observations.
sure we can get bogged down with our opinions, but generally we back up our opinions with examples and evidence, and if someone has a different opinion with examples and evidence, we accept that without recriminations.
that's what adults do.. so my question is, why in the last week or so, have a couple of posters claiming to be jws come onto this forum and berated, spewed hate and judgement, and in some cases verbally attacked members personally?

The spotlight is getting brighter and BRIGHTER!!! People wake up!
by Faithful Witness inall of this new light that is being revealed to the jw's, is turning into a brilliant spotlight... pointing directly at the wts, the members of the self-appointed kings of the governing body, and causing many to examine the truth in a new light.
thank you, governing body, for revealing yourselves in such a bright and outstanding light!!
you are amazing!

Demons in a coffee shop? How would you react?
by laverite ini just saw this very short two minute video -- brilliant.
it's gone "viral" on the interwebs/nets.
i couldn't help but imagine that if a jw had been in this coffee shop, s/he would have been screaming "jehovah!

I'm not used to this kind of thing, on JWN or in my life since I was about 15. I'm not quite sure how to handle it. What do they hope to achieve by it? Mindless hatred and spiteful personal attacks is not going to convince anyone of anything.

Donations aren't coming in from Western Countries: more confirmation
by Julia Orwell inin talking to sparky the elder today (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/263862/1/an-elder-called-me-hes-waking-up-and-knew-id-understand-nice-for-him-to-have-a-friend) i found out he did the accounts for our congregation for years.
he said very rarely did the congregation meet its expenses without some well-off brother chipping in a few grand here and there.
the elders would also make up the shortfall.

" First of all, Homage to Catalonia and Down & Out in Paris & London are two of my favorite books. Yes, unlike you and the typical "knowledgeable" JW, I've moved on from 1984 and Animal Farm. As far as your alluding to some distant relation to Orwell, well I'll have you know my pet gecko shares the same DNA as Godzilla. Aren't I special? Evidently! Also,the Catholic Church's success can be likened to the mass(no pun lol) of weeds found in the garden of any old man in the fall. Soon to be pulled by its roots and tossed in the rubbish! Now, kick rocks"
You really have it in for me, don't you? I don't know what I ever did to you. I guess you just don't like me and have nothing rational to say, hence the put-downs of a person you've never met...you must just have a real axe to grind and have picked me randomly.
I read 1984 and Animal Farm a long time ago. I don't know why you assume I haven't the others. Talk about presumtuous.
Road to Wigan Pier and Burmese Days are my faves.

If you told anyone what the AGM was about before it was screened in their cong, you could DIE!
by Julia Orwell inamong the inane fb comments i've come across about the agm, this one stood out as more inane than the most enthusiastic jw slobbering:.
"before we start taking about what happened at the agm we must be absolutely certain that all the meetings are over.
make sure that we are obedient in the small things ago that we will be obedient in the big things.

And she's not responded. How can you respond when you're given no ammo?

OMG Zound, it's so sad!!!
@ Problem Addict, I've posted the conversation below. NB I don't actually believe in Jehovah but use the term on Steven Hassan's recommendation.
ME: So when I said there was a new bible coming that was more readable you chewed me out...however it's good to see you're happy with the new bible. It's a really nice translation
JW: Don't fool yourself ... I never chewed you out about your comments regarding a new bible translation .. It was your negative comments regarding many aspects of the society I found offensive ... You have disappointed me far more then many others have because we have been through similar circumstances and Jehovah blessed you for that and all you want to seem to do now is destroy the Organisations reputation with your negative attitude... If you truly love Jehovah you will put up with imperfection from everyone and stop turning your back on Jehovah and disrespecting the guidelines that Jesus taught us to live by ... I hope that this new gift from Jah sees you returning to meetings and strengthening your relationship with Jehovah because he is worthy of your whole souled praise and so is his organisation.. Agape to you from me always.
Me: Thanks. I feel closer to Jehovah now than I ever have. Thank Him for his blessings always! I am very disappointed about the malicious gossip that has gone around about me from God's loving people (thankfully not all in Mudgee! ) but hey, each one is accountable to Jehovah and it's not for us to judge others.
I find it strange that I've been accused of turning my back on Jehovah and what Jesus taught us to live by...sure, I said some inflammatory things as imperfect people are wont to do, but I've not broken a single Bible command. The Organisation isn't perfect, but it does no good to pretend it is. Five years ago the Faithful and discreet slave was the 144 000 remnant, this year it's 8 men. Truth changes, but if you point it out you're 'negative'.
I trust in Jehovah and wait upon Him.cheers
JW: I've not known any brother or sister of the earthly class and certainly not of the anointed who has ever had the attitude that they are perfect ... Even what you just said was slander, you spoke against Jehovah's own organisation. I just don't understand how you can be so negative against the organisation and feel you are close to Jehovah.. Don't you understand you are insulting Jehovah himself? And what did Jesus say? ANY who say bad against you (anointed) are also saying bad against ME... So your even insulting Jesus when you think negative of the slave class... And No one is gossiping about you.. Your continuous comments about Jahs name and negative articles about JWs were all over Facebook that's what I saw & read and I don't want to associate with ANYONE, who has such on their FB wall. I have enough negativity to deal with in my life without seeing it online.
I will pray that Jehovah gives you the spiritual strength to have clarity with your thoughts in regard to his organisation. As for me I embrace the brighter light of truth which Is going to get brighter still until the New System is here.
Me: I will pray for you too.
Hope your life gets better and the negativity clears up for you. Life is a gift and I'm grateful mine is positive.
May YHWH/Jehovah give you increased light.

Notice how my pointing out the FDS change is 'slander' in her eyes? These sorts of exchanges are good reminders that I was right to leave.

Good point. How the hell do you make kids sit for 3 hours?
The sister I sent the snarky message to has bombarded me with hatin' cultspeak. It's so funny. This is the bad thing about my authentic self re-emerging: I'm a real shite-stirrer.
