  I'm feeling in complete harmony with those that express blame for the Governing Body in bringing this type persecution on its members by the utter bull shit(extremist) they write. They need a persecution complex to survive so they keep writing this Listen, Obey us, and be Blessed(not disfellowshipped) malarkey which gotta draw heat from a more totalitarian form of government like Russia, and many others. And now to whip up the heat even more and cause more persecution they are naming Russia the King of the north in Daniel's prophesy. These guys are real self serving sickos.

  I don't feel I'm defending Russia in my not censoring the government for human rights violations, just trying to look at the facts of why this tension exist with out all the moral judgements to wade thru.

  "We have never lost a case against apostates.
  

  I wouldn't say that,, let's never forget Olin Moyle:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olin_R._Moyle

  Moyle was disfellowshipped by his congregation,[4] which wrote a letter to The Watchtower stating that they had not read Moyle's letter, but disapproved of his actions and "never listen to accusations against Brother Rutherford".[4][12] In 1940, Moyle sued the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York over the response in The Watchtower. Rutherford presented a public resolution at a 1941 convention against Moyle, with reference to the September 15, 1941 issue of The Watchtower.[13] Moyle won his suit, and the court awarded him $30,000 in damages, which was reduced to $15,000 on appeal in 1944.[14]

  The initial jury verdict was affirmed twice on appeal; first by the five member Appellate Division, 2nd Department (3-2); and second, unanimously, by the seven members of the state's highest court, The Court of Appeals, in the capitol at Albany.[15]

  yesterday, robert kraft, the owner of the new england patriots, got busted for getting a massage and more.

  they say there is another more high profile person who also got busted.. does this stuff upset you that some men have gone into a massage parlor for possibly more than a massage?

  ?.

  Bungi Bill I'm beginning to see your points. No we should never shut up but I'm very pessimistic about it being a kind of bleeding heart type. We should care where ever injustice happens, my past statements lacked empathy for my fellow human beings, even though it was honestly felt at the time.

  In fact in the way I'm feeling right now, I don't want to see any JW suffer in anyway, not even the Governing Body, I can honestly say I would take no revengeful glee over their sad plight when they go belly up financially. I want to thank you for helping me find that feeling. I'm uncovering my pessimistic dark side I think. I'm using active imagination in my own crude way to dig below the surface.

  So that is why I'm a clash of opposites I can feel one way today and tomorrow the opposite. I like this side of my personality when it dominates but the feelings of empathy I have some times seems to knock the wind out of me so I try to turn it down a few notches.

  Cofty, our consciousness is a narrow tunnel of reality or our reality tunnel by which we experience the world. I think that why you are misunderstanding me and projecting your shadow onto what I have said. IOW your projecting idiot and it is getting in the way, so you only get 25% of what I wrote in your reality tunnel,, because of a bias projection.

  That being said I'm very grateful to have you comment just because we clash and perhaps we both can learn some thing from each other.

  Or perhaps you are not facing your 'shadow' with honesty and fearlessness?

  Thanks for bringing this up, it is definitely needed, honesty, fearlessness, and lets not forget curiosity and a desire to get to know ones true self and become more whole.

  To admit to themselves (at least), their dark side, dark desires, bad motives for doing certain things, making this conscious has its many benefits not easy but worth it, with that I'm still a work in progress.

  As one gets to know ones shadow the less he is projecting on to others because he is not in denial any more.

  One first needs to recognize that the persona is not the real them, it is a mask the real us hides behind in dealing with the outside world to identify completely with one's persona makes for lots of depression and a very small inner life, everything happening dominated by the persona.

  Admitting that I don't really care that much about what happens to JW's arrested in Russia, not a popular view of many here is a small indication that I'm not letting my persona dominate and have come to terms that some would classify as their dark side, or made friends with some of my darker natures.
  I find that the more and more I recognize my shadow the better I feel towards myself and others, while it's true that others may misunderstand me if I'm honest about feeling different from popular politically correct feeling, and some may jump to wrong conclusions and such is life. Not a big deal but very interesting and full of lessons I'm sure.

  According to this video experts studied the JW's literature and found it extremist propaganda. No mention of them ever being terrorist.

  Isn't that ironic?

  What can I say but that I'm a clash of opposites, an enigma wrapped in a riddle.

  I don't know what is more offensive - the spelling, grammar or content.

  Well it all depends on how anal retentive you are about either subject,, but if I could guess,, I'd say spelling wins 1st place with grammar a close 2nd. and content falling deep into 3rd all based on your original order subconsciously.
