Who can you trust to admit you have doubts?
by MrMonroe in(that is, doubts).
in margaret atwood's "the handmaid's tale", a futuristic story of life inside a repressive, abusive big brother-style society tightly controlled by religious fundamentalists, there's a passage in which the protagonist is alone with another woman at a state-controlled centre where prayers are generated -- then printed out and read out -- by a machine.
the other woman asks, in barely more than a whisper, "do you think god listens to these machines?

Thx FayeDunaway! Very interesting what she had to say.... pretty scary to realize the patterns in history, and as Margaret pointed out "how fast it can happen".....
If you are going to be the Only True Religlion, you need to 'get rid of your opposers,' and..... essentially, kill them..... or DF them... Right?
Sounds very familiar.

thx redpilltwice..... I loved the story of James Penton, a person who stood up for "higher morals" over "Pharasaic rules"....
In regards to the 'DFing', I was wondering about Ralph Candelario, as the expert called in (James Penton) was asked about JW policies, and after reading the links Barbara provided, I see that Ralph did have previous wives, and the JW attitude about divorce would not allow him to remarry / be free for marriage, unless his spouse died or commited adultery.
Ralph's lawyer tried to argue that since Ralph had remarried before (even though he could not prove his wife had died, only disappeared) and had 'regained' his 'approved' status in the congregation (DF'd/ reinstated) killing his wife, Pamela, to remarry was no motive... BECAUSE, if he did get DF'd..... he could get 'reinstated'.... just like last time.
The intertwinings of a JW mind can be very complicated, and really, only a person who has been one (James Penton) can really explain the way the WT puts pressure on people in deep and insidious ways .

Remember this quote? We were told this over and over, right? Do JW's reallllly have a spiritual paradise?
*** w70 4/15 p. 248 Questions That People Ask About Jehovah’s Witnesses ***
What are Jehovah’s Witnesses doing to improve conditions in the community?
Thomas Jefferson, one of America’s leading presidents and statesmen, once said that the Bible makes “better citizens, better fathers, better husbands. . . . The Bible makes the best people in the world.”
This in substance is what Jehovah’s witnesses are doing by means of their Bible educational work.They are making better fathers, better mothers, better children, in fact, the best people in the world.
Therefore the very nature of their work is a blessing to any community.At a time when the world is divided nationally, racially, economically and religiously, and is at war with itself, Jehovah’s witnesses teach law and order and respect for government. What could be more helpful to a community than that? Jehovah’s witnesses are teaching people not to steal or lie or murder, but to be honest, hardworking, just and integrity-keeping. As a result, the lives of many persons have been improved.

It is very interesting that the Prosecutor called in a person (exJW) to testify about JW culture, and procedures regarding disfellowshipping...... Was this man DF'd before?
It says the jury 'paid rapt attention to his answers'! Just as the iron curtain of Russia eventually crumbled, maybe the world will be able to see behind the curtain of JW.BORG!

LOYALTY! I just got a quote from someone about"loyalty".. DataDog? A 94 WT.. March, I believe. I am not at home, so...... It was talking about bringing reproach on Jehovah's name (like going to the police about pedophiles).... What was the article about? Loyalty!! CYA! -

It is quite sad to hear this, I feel so sorry for you. We have had the same thing happen to us, tho not to that extent. A brother did not fulfill his contract, delivered nothing, and we lost quite a bit of money.
Did we go to court? no.... I really wish we had.
What that man said to you was quite pitiful, turning it back on you each time, "Now, how do you think Jehovah feels about you?" He sounds just like the WT, "Why did you believe in 1975?"
I am so glad that you stuck to your guns, and realized that taking "your brother" (is he really a 'brother' when he slanders, robs, etc) to court. Quite relieved, actually...
Morals and scriptures mean nothing when the good person gets robbed.
Thank you for sharing, I am glad the WT is having to pay for it's errors, and their warped way of dealing with people is getting exposed.
