are westerners the evil of the world?.
western lands have gleefully exploited the worlds resources over the past 200 years.most of us have taken advatage of what our economies have offered to us.but has and does our life style not only ruin the earth but ensures that other countries remain pour.. the goods we demand and are used to having ,have a cost to the environment .we want them cheap , this ensures low wages where big western companies can get cheap labour.the size and power of western business means that pourer countries cant grow economically.the big western business are so powerful that they earn more money than entire countries.. suvival of the fittest has taken its toll on mankind while we live in comfort the majority of earth inhabitants don't.how much is our fault?
No, but neither are they the light of the world as some would like to belive.
one of the most ingrained things for long time witnesses to change their viewpoint on is the fds.
i believe that due to the constant information at the meetings, conventions, publications and elder's talks, the doctrine of the faithful slave is pounded into everyone's heads.once a person sees the misunderstanding of this teaching, it's easier to critically see the wrongness of the watchtower.
can you suggest easier, less complicated rebuttals to this doctrine?
You can't disprove it...the same way you can't disprove it to the Flat Earth Society .
This is coming from the true FDS..which I really am...seriously.
mods have power and with that power comes responsibility.
no mod should have his post deleted!.
we all make mistakes, but we all do not have the luxury of having our mistakes covered over, and while that may not have been the intent it certainly was the impression given.. englishman's post should be restored for the integrity of this db.. .
Animaniacs at it again!!!
being raised as a witness, i was taught to have nothing to do with worldly people.
as long as they were not dedicated, baptized worshippers of jehovah, they were considered as wicked ones that would soon be destroyed at armaggedon.
in school and later, at work, i tried to keep a safe distance from anyone not a witness.
I was considered to be unspiritual for attending university.
my family will not be attending the march.
i respect bill and what he has accomplished, but i believe that attempts to control the march and the marchers, are misplaced -- even damaging for victims of abuse -- who have been controlled enough!.
the last thing victims of abuse need is to be told to keep up appearances.
Leave it to this board to find faults at anything, everything with nothing.....I see the insults approaching.

on the net you see many talk about 1975 and how it affected so many.
obviously, some left the organization when nothing happened in 1975. were you personally affected by 1975?
has the fixing of dates been a major reason for your disappointment with the witnesses?
It never really bothered me--personally. But as an accountant I see "brothers and sisters" who have not retirement plan because during their prime of youth they put the "the kingdom" first. Now decades later are worried about retirement. I feel like telling them the truth about the truth. But I am in the shadown who is fading. All I can do is try to help them with what resource thee possess. So does 1975 really bother me. No it does't. It makes me sick.,
