  What Is the Real World?

  by Satanus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt has it's own definition of 'the world', which they claim to not be a part of.

  yet, in following trends, such as fear trends, ultraconservative fashion trends, allowing it's members to take in various media, such as popular music, movies, sports, the jws are part of the world.

  yet, by wt definition, they are not.. sitting, thinking yesterday about my life, my social contacts, work, play etc.

  real world?

  That is the place were 2+2=4. in the real world, there are no fairies dancing in the garden, no angles on pins, no gods giving out prizes, no devils making you do things. In the real world St. Anthony will not help you find lost things. In the real world there are no good or bad men, only men and the things that they do. The real world is the place were social constraints and traditions are used to suppress the individual. But still 2+2 is 4

  Seems to me "pushed" him may be better stated as "assaulted" him. This is a death the direct result of a crime. It seems much like when a drunk shakes his/her baby not intending to kill it. Or when a kidnaper accidentally kills his/her victim. Murder one.

  JW morality: is it from virtue or calculating self interest?

  by True North in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jws love to congratulate themselves for being -- as they see it -- morally superior to "worldly" people.

  however, if one does something right to get a reward (eternal life in paradise, status in the congregation) or refrains from doing something wrong to avoid punishment (death at armageddon, disfellowshipping), is that virtue or calculating self interest?

  is virtue only what one does and not why?

  JW morality is a very simple thing. When you are in you are moral when you are out you are immoral.

  JW hook;

  Join to shear in the materiel and physical gains after the big "A".

  Join or die bitch.

  Record all conversations, document everything, family court, cops, local newspapers, do not let this stay in the dark make the cult do all this in the light of day. Be smart, be a pitbull. TAKE THE POWER

  stuck in!

  2. experiences

  well, this is my first post here, and i'm kind of doing it in secret, cause i know if my parents knew of my "poisoning myself with apostates" they would not be happy at all.

  anyways, my story is; i'm 17, i've been brought up "in the truth" my whole life, and now i'm starting to question the wt and christianity in general, and i have nobody to talk to about it.

  i feel awkward about talking to my witness friends about it, cause i worry that if i speak out against the organazition and the wrong people (i.e; young ones around here that would never think of questioning the society) hear about it, it might result in my punishment (reproof or dfing).
