i've attended enough meetings to know that the jw's consistently are building themselves up instead of their beloved jehovah.
talk about idols of the heart, but sadly, they can't see it.. the truth is they use the bible to try to support their teachings, when everyone in their right mind uses their teachings to support the bible.. gig
They even build themselves up in the kingdom melodies:
As WE go from door to door to spread the kingdom news....lalala HOW IS THAT singing Worship to Jah?
WE are jehovah's witnesses, We preach on lalalalla
And countless other melodies that they raise their voices and sing about themselves in
You hit the nail on the head, they build themselves up and not Jah

it's remarkable the memories we repress.
one came back today.
many moons ago as a young zealous "publisher" i lived with a house full of single brothers (some former bethelites and others aspiring wannabe bethelites).
Hmmm I would refer to the Watchtower as being more like the aftermath of an enema
well all i just wanted to write and tell you that i had a job interview today and i got offered a job that i really really want!!!!
it comes with a car and it is good salary and great benefits.
i am finally living all this stuff i always wanted to.
Congratulations
Pleased fer ya

dr. phil is an excellent program...great educational tool...yes many molesters abuse both boys and girls because it's the asexual, compliant element of a child that attracts them.
my molester abused both, more boys than girls but preferred girls.
go figure!.
Hmmmmm
It is my experience that the general public can be easily hoodwinked by a molester
I think this is due to the saying "The mind can't believe what the heart cant conceive", some of the public cant imagine doing such a thing so assume everyone has the the same morals as them.
Can see your point, Molesters are experts at masquerading as the nicest thing since sliced bread, they build up such a great reputation, hey thats why people leave their kids with em, they look the ideal candidate.
HE IS TOTALLY REPONSIBLE FOR THE ABUSE, THAT HE MANIPULATED EVERYONE TO GET WHAT HE WANTED
Even that seems like a pretense on the molesters part to get the favour of viewers who would then assume he has changed and is now being an honest man, none the less glad to see he didnt take to the disgusting way in which your dad tried to defend himself.
as I side point, I consider myself "born agan" but would never agree with your dad, he's disgusting in his assumptions and transparent even when trying to defend himself
As usual that was a good post M

last comments regarding bill bowen & silent lambs: .
this is intended to be a positive treatment of the issue by pointing out some very useful things to bill bowen and the silentlambs organization.
i am staying clear of responding to bill's last comments as to debating things he stated which are irrelevant and not accurate.
I really have stayed out of these threads and have no intention of ever getting into them again.. but couldn't Ray now get you to post something talking about another issue? Its all circular now and getting rather giddy. WHo cares if Ray in between the lines has supported Bill...is Ray great or what?
No matter how hard I try I really cant get a mental picture of Ray sitting in a corner weeping in a shivering heap because Bill Bowen said something out of line. Its my guess that he didnt lose an ounce of sleep! Why should anyone else? And for other big names in the exjw community to then come and gang up on a single guy is utter pathetic. And I would have said the same in defence of Ray had it been the other way round. People gain experience on how to choose words carefully when they write excellent books like COJ and JP have written, I guess the words where carefully chosen here too."Attack on Ray...unfortunate attack..." yada yada ...Crusades..yayaya...what image do these historians hope to strike up by using the word "Crusades" when reffering to the BB's support group? Its all semantics and just as Ray sent an inbetween the lines message here, so, it seems, do these authors. Out of one side of the mouth they endorse BB attempts to bring this abuse to the public eye and out the other they dont but persue a path of defence with words chosen that are as destructive as anything BB said to RF.
It was all done and dusted when Ray got Amazing to post the first letter, everyone ranted and then Bill posted a reply containing issues that no one had took into consideration when blasting him....
Who cares what Bill said to Ray anymore?...Is Bill great or what?
Bottom line, Both guys are doing a great job, whether that is reflected in their personalities or not!
IW and K007 - Over to you for another spin on the same ole worn out issue

for those who wish to continue spiritually strong after jehovah's witnesses, contact

Huh? I know this is a good intent post but surely after spending years in an Org the first step we should take is to encourage people not to look for another bible study conductor...let people find their own ways or groups to help them stay spiritually strong. Could people continue spiritually strong without contacting you for free issues of Free Christian news or Bible studies? If so, you need to choose your words a bit more carefully.

in my life i have learned that in order to truly hate someone or even to hate something.
i have to spend so much time carrying around all the files of memories that give me the reason to fill that way.
i have to think about the person, the thing or the place.
I hate parsnips but apart from those I think Kenpodragon is on the ball in the original post.
