I never ever said "i told you so" I honestly meant it when I stated that i think he invited me here to "say you told me so" it is a commendable attribute and unlike the person who posted before you my friend is still a good person. Although he left the JW's and i am sure most of you are just as most of the teachings were with truth if they were not would most of you have believed.

What are You all Doing Here?
by TisInYourWishbone ina friend of mine recommended i peruse this forum because he is of the impression i would find it rewarding.
the basis of his recommendation was due to a very long friendship and not due to any association (that i do not have) with jehovahs witnesses.
he considers me his superior in intellect and wants an appraisal of this sight but to be honest i have neither the incliniation nor the time to get in deep enough to comment.

I was never a JW but was subjected to enough via my association with my friend to be able to deduce that the jehovahs witness movement was destined to failure and not by accident or revelation but by design. He dismissed my speculations and continued in his faith it made no difference to me because it was generally good so i did not persist in dissuading him.
We stopped communicating for many years and we have recently been reunited and since then (4-5 months ago )his religion or the JWs did not come up. Today was the first time he mentioned it and so i assume he was humbly saying "you told me so" by my invitation here as it is apparent that The Watchtower Society is facing demise. -

I am doing nothing other than what i believe is my moral obligation sometimes that steers me towards criticism sometimes praise but my objective doesn't change. I honestly believe this person and as a corrollary i replied in a manner i believe is most appropriate. the only critism Mr Underwhelmed is by you i am not happy to say.

My comment on superior intellect was directed specifically at my friend and not at anyone i didn't know. you should understsand that statement would inherently be flawed if i didn't know you. I only said it as a means to filter him out. So please don't bother taking offence witth that.
If you want a question the issue of shunning i find interesting at the moment and also i would like an idea as to how many people that frequent this site are for and how many are against the Jehovahs Witness Movement. (guesses i expect)
I would also like to know how i can tell who has posted the response as i read it (where is the info to be found) and who keeps quoting that silly statement "if you put yout hopes in imperfect people....et cetera)

On my Friend
I don't doubt this forum would pepetuate if my friend did leave that is what he said. I would assume judging by his character that he did not reveal anything about himself. So if you have any guesses as to hid identity please accompany it with a charactersitc so that i may more easily ascertain.
On my Conclusion in reference to The Movement.
I see alot of resentment amongst you all. This is further playing into the hands of the players pulling the strings. the decomposition of the Jehovahs witnesses was imminent. This is why they foretold the end was nigh. I saw that as ridiculous back in the 80's and so deduced that they needed to be wrong so they could lose the following and thereby realise the immense capitol wealth they have built in their Kingdom halls. If you want to go against the grain then continue with what you know was good in your readings and revitalise the enormous potential from within. If you leave you lose.

Yes in fatct my friend is a member of this forum and he is almost certainly here now. who he is is another question however. He didn't want to tell me as he considers himself to be a keystone in the direction this forum takes and did not want to jeopardise his identity, he informs me that his identity is very wanted that being said you all could probably tell me who he is.
It is funny but the reason he asked me along i am suspecting is because all of these things which you are now complaining about i predicted many years ago. And now he feels like saying you told me so. You are very Humble indeed i take my hat off buddy

And so the personal attacks begin. If you equate condescending remarks with rhetoric then you lose period. Lose what you ask, lose whatever contest you started. I only asked for some of you to substantiate the evident mass of time you are dedicating to this sight and in the event that you are to lacklustre in mind or spirit you could perhaps recommend some postings. if that is too much trouble then you all have little regard for your own time and activities. So feel free to call me a twit and rest assured it really hurts me.
