  This is a very sad day.

  Dear Tortured Soul. You have been here, but a brief time, but have touched many. Through your posts, you revealed your pain, compassion, talent and humour.

  I'd like to quote from your "last dance" post.

  I'd like to think that because of the past I have endured, I could bring something of value into someone elses life.
  I wish to thank all of you for what you have shown me.
  I wish you peace, happiness and healing.

  AMEN

  Ray Franz.....LIAR?

  one of my witness family members agreed to take a look at crisis of conscience, and after.

  perusing the first couple of chapters, said that she thought it could be all made up.

  agreed that the documents presented could be legitimate, but as far as franz's personal.

  But someone should be able to do an interview with these brothers about their recollections. Only by having both sides of a story, can you honestly come to a conclusion.

  soj. C'mon man. Give your head a shake. Are you serious? Like they would give an interview, to begin with. Even if it was with a neutral, third person, the WTS would never allow it to happen.

  And if they published their own version of the story, the only ones who would believe it would be themselves.

  I think I'm seeing a pattern here soj. Over the past 2-3 weeks your arguments have lost some of their "fire and brimstone" haughtiness, and your replies are bordering on plaintive. You're not losing your resolve are you?

  drwtsn32 Good reply to JC, and done tactfully to boot. I salute you. I wish more posters here would refrain from the instant derogatory comments that appear when conflicting viewpoints arise.

  Having said that, I'm sending JC some MacDonald's fries, that have been in the back of my truck, and will ask him to date them for me

  In your experience, do JW's show hospitality?

  by Gopher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  and i don't just mean "formal" hospitality that is scheduled on the announcement board for visiting speakers and travelling overseers.. i mean real, from the heart, love of strangers (xenophilia in greek).

  xenophobia (fear of strangers) is the antithesis of hospitality.. when you visited other halls where nobody knew you (and you weren't the guest speaker or the travelling overseer), did people go out of their way to make you feel welcome?

  or did they mutter to themselves, "i wonder who the stranger is?

  Interesting Question. I've been out for over 7 years now, but before I left I noticed a change in the way new ones were welcomed.

  If you showed up at a KH with someone from the congregation, you were treated warmly.

  If you showed up at a KH unaccompanied, but someone in the congregation knew you, and they came up to speak with you first, people relaxed, and you were treated warmly.

  If you showed up at a KH unaccompanied, and no one knew you, everyone in the congreagation, would instantly stiffen, until brother and/or sister soandso, went up to them and introduced themselves. (every congregation has a few of those brave good-hearted souls) Then based on brother and/or sister soandso's reaction (facial expressions / body language) the rest of us would decide whether to go up and introduce ourselves.

  I found this feeling of apprehension, bordereing on paranoia, become more evident as time went on. Stangers at the KH = possible confrontation and or trouble. Why would they be here? Surely people searching for the "truth" wouldn't just walk in from the street would they? Which flies in the face of the original purpose of the Sunday Meetings, when you had the "Public Talk" and had actually handed out invitations to people to attend. "All Welcome "........ "Free"........etc.

  Try walking into a KH now, where no one knows you, or attempt to attend a circuit or district assembly without you lapel card.

  You will find hospitality, has been replaced by hostility.

  when they ask, "can i talk to you about god?

  answer the door with a bloody knife and say, "i'm sorry, could you come back in a half hour?
